There's Gotta Be More to Life

Over the next few months, Carmen and Carter got the club up and running it was now time for the Opening Night. Carmen had gotten Devon a job at the club as a waitress. Carmen sat in the back office getting ready for her entrance. She was wearing a pair of tight black pants with a black key hole halter top. She walked out in her black heals and over to the bar. She ordered a corona and walked around the club to see how people were liking it. She noticed her dealers working some of the people there.

"Turned out well eh sis." Carter said from behind her. She turned around to see him with another blonde. She smiled back and nodded.

"It's good to be back." She turned back away and noticed that Devon was taking a drink over to a man. Laughing to herself, she decided that everything was fine out here. She walked to the VIP room and made sure the guest were enjoying their time here.

On her way back to her office, she was stopped by Lexi (one of the team). "What's up?"

"I have to warn you." She said while looking around the room. She pushed Carmen into her office and closed the door.

"There's gonna be a raid tonight. The cops know what's going on…"

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because…I'm one of them."

"One of who…"

"I'm a cop. Clay and I are…he's my brother. We signed onto this job because the cop Carter was paying was our dad…"

"What?"

"I know…but you have to get out of here. They're going to arrest anyone working here." Carmen nodded and walked back of her office. She noticed that the music had been turned down and screams were coming from the main part of the club. She looked at Lexi and ran to where the guest were. She spotted them all running for the exits and Devon running for her. Carmen pushed Devon towards and exit while yelling,

"Go!" Lexi, Clay, Carmen, Carter and a few dealers stood there with lights in there eyes. Each one of them were placed under arrest.

Earlier in the morning, Carmen was in the interrogation room when Monica walked in. "Turns out we have quiet a record on you…Miss. Verone."

"Bite me."

"Now that's not nice…You might want to learn a better attitude after all I can put you away for a very long time."

"You don't have shit on me."

"Actually, quite the opposite. You're brother seemed to feel like coming clean. After all someone that has immunity to help us get you should."

"What?"

"That's right Verone. You're brother was with us the whole time. We need to catch you in the act to put you away."

"I don't believe you. Carter hates cops."

"Not when he doesn't have to pay for what he did. You should learn more before trusting family." Carmen scowled at Monica. She didn't answer anymore of her questions causing Monica to call for a guard to put her back in her cell.

Sitting down fuming, Carmen waited to see human life. Luckily, Devon came to visit her.

"What are you doing in there?"

"What does it look like…"

"Car…don't do that. You know I wanted to help you."

"Are you on the stand?"

"I will be…"

"Damn it!"

"They were bound to find me anyway."

"With Carter's help."

"What?"

"That's right, Carter set me up! He was working with the feds to get me."

"Don't they know you were going to?"

"Nope. Makes me wonder where Rome and Brian's loyalties lie."

"They couldn't have known…"

"Don't be too sure."

After a little more chatting, Devon left Carmen to her thoughts. She walked out to her car, well Carmen's car, and drove to the garage to get some answers. When she drove up she say Tej walking towards her.

"Hey Devon, where's Car?"

"Jail." She pushed past him and walked down to the boat house. She started pounding on the door until Brian opened up. When he did she stormed in and said, "Do you know where she is?"

"Who…who is?"

"Carmen! She's in jail Brian all because of Carter. Now I want answers and I want them now."

"Wait…jail? Why? And what about Carter?"

"Don't play that shit. Carter was working with the feds to get Carmen on lock down. Now you tell me what's going on."

"I didn't know anything like that happened…"

"I don't care what you knew. I want to know what's going on now!" Brian nodded and walked over to his cell phone to call up Monica.
