"I feel like a detective." Rey says while putting on his make up in the hotel mirror.

"Me too." Alberto answers. "So when are we going to the studio."

"You aren't going."

"What? I'm not going?" Alberto asks.

"Yeah. You're not going." Rey starts to explain. "You are a man and he's a man, he won't open up to you like he would open up to a beautiful woman. I mean come on look at me. I look like I could do no wrong." Rey says.

"I don't want you to be by yourself."

Rey slips on his heels. "Look if I'm not back in an hour, you come down there." Rey kissed Alberto. "Be back."

David looked towards the door when he heard the chimes go off. It was his first customer in a few weeks and he was excited and it was a female customer so that made it even better.

"Hello. How are you?"

"Hello. I'm fine. Are you David Batista?" Rey asks.

"Yes I am."

"Great. So you're the one that took this picture." Rey pulled out the picture and laid it on the counter. Dave looked at the picture and his jaw tightened.

"Lets go to my office." Rey followed Dave to his office and took a seat in one of the chairs.

"Rosita told you about me?"

'Igancio's wife,' Rey thought. "Yes, she told me you were good but I could tell you were good by the picture."

"What do you want?" Dave asks.

"I want you to track my associates." Rey thinks of something on the spot. "I think they are doing something behind my back. Can you do a job like this or is this not your thing."

"Oh Rosita should of told you." Dave smiles. "I do it all for the right price."

"Of course. What would be the right price for a job like this?"

"If you pay for my transportation and hotel, I'll only charge $3,500 when the job is done." Dave continues. "But if you don't pay for those things, I want $4,000 before I begin the job and then $3,500 when I'm done."

"So if I may ask you a question?" Dave asks.

"Of course."

"What do you plan on doing if I reveal that they are doing something."

"Get them off the board and get total control. In all honesty, I hate these people so anything you find will be appreciated." Rey continues. "Once I want you to start, I'll call you."

"Nice doing business with you." Dave said and shook Rey's hand. Rey got up and started walking towards the door.

"Hey." Dave called out.

"Yes." Rey said and looked over his shoulder. Dave held up a picture up to Rey's face.

"It's you."

"Wha- Ah." Dave turned Rey around and grabbed his wrist.

"It's you, Reina." Dave said. "Rosita warned me about you and Alberto. She told me that Alberto always ran to the rescue of Ignacio and she was sure she would bring you along. I can believe she was right and all this time I just thought she was nuts." Dave says.

"She is nuts."

Dave laughed. "She told me to punish you if you came in here." Dave laughed again. "What should I do?"

"Let me go."

"No I have a better idea." Dave threw Rey on the grown and got on top of her. Rey tried to fight him off but Dave was too muscular. It seemed like the punches Rey threw didn't even hurt him.

Dave hitched up Rey's skirt and rip off his underwear.

Dave started to laugh."Rosita must be a psychic or some shit. She said you would be a man. She said you were too pretty to be a woman. Dave punched Rey in the mouth to disorientate him. Dave got off of Rey and grabbed a camera.

"Say cheese." Dave took a few pictures of Rey before grabbing his laptop and running out of the studio.

Rey just lays there, trying to get all of his thoughts back together. Dave had hit him pretty hard. He didn't know how long he had been there but he knew Alberto would be here in about an hour, so he laid there and waited for Alberto to come.
