A/N: Please forgive me for those of you who like Gail, this chapter is not Gail friendly. Hope you still stay with me and enjoy
Gail has been in Montreal for the past month and has been working at the Black Knight Strip Club on Jacobs Street, she is trying to hold it together but failing. You see it all started shortly after starting her job at the club
Flashback…
Black Knight Strip Club…
It's 6:00 pm on Friday night when Gail enters the Club as Charlie Bane of San Diego
Duke: miss may I help you, the club doesn't open for another hour
Charlie: yes I am Charlie Bane I start work tonight
Duke: follow me then
She follows Duke down the hall into the back of the club
Outback…
Duke: ladies we have a new girl starting tonight show her around and help her get settled in
Candi: you got it Duke come in and don't be shy I am Candi
Charlie: Charlie Bane
Journey: Hey I am Journey welcome where are you from Charlie?
Charlie: Originally from San Diego
Coco: let's give you a tour we open in a while
Charlie: alright
Coco escorts Charlie around the back of the club
Coco: the bathrooms are down the hall on the right. The boss's office is upstairs on the left but it's totally off limits to new employees. You were just in the dressing room
Charlie: how many girls work per night?
Coco: between 3 to 5 on stage we all have our own sets and then we have the waitresses so it's probably like 10 girls a night. We rotate from stage to serving. But since your new your start out by serving drinks and if you do good then we'll work you in to the stage acts
Charlie: sounds good
Mac the bartender comes down the hallway and right into both Coco and Charlie and he's high
Mac: sorry ladies my mistake
Coco: Mac what are you doing? Try watching where you go there are others that work here too
Mac: sorry
He goes into the men's bathroom and takes out a syringe and shoots it into a vein on his right arm
Charlie: is he alright?
Coco: yeah that's Mac the bartender
Coco finishes the tour and the other girls are coming in for the night
It's 7:00 pm when the doors open for business
Journey: you take the guy over by the door his name's Johnny, he's a regular. He's a nice guy and he tips well
Charlie: sure
She goes over to Johnny who is looking her up and down with a huge smile on his face as she walks over to his table
Johnny: your new here sweetheart what's your name?
Charlie: Charlie what can I get for you sir?
Johnny: Whiskey Sour
Charlie: be right back with your drink
She goes over to Mac at the bar
At the Bar…
Mac: what's he getting tonight
Charlie: Whiskey Sour
He makes the drink and she takes it back over to Johnny
Johnny: thanks sweetheart
Charlie: your welcome
He slides her a $50 dollar bill with a note saying to meet him in the men's room in 5 minutes. She goes about her business and then heads to the men's room
5 minutes later…
Men's Room…
Charlie: hello
Johnny: come here
He slams her against the door and starts assaulting her with his mouth and she begins to moan.
Charlie: I really should not be doing this
Johnny: I know but dam you look so sexy in that dress I could not resist
He continues kissing her and she wraps her legs around his waist and she can feel his zipper coming undone. He slams into her with full force and they have ruff and totally out in to open sex in the men's bathroom. Duke tries to open the door and finds resistance
Duke: is someone leaning against the door?
Johnny: be out in a minute
Charlie: we should not be doing this in here
Johnny: shush
He continues to thrust into her and he finally comes, all while Charlie is groaning very loudly. She drops to the floor and fixes her dress while Johnny zips his pants back up and they open the door to see a very pissed off looking bouncer
Duke: Charlie I know it's your first day here but don't get caught doing that in the club. Mr. Jacks doesn't want any trouble between his girls and the customers
Johnny: sorry that was my fault it won't happen again
Duke: save that for after you get out of work
Charlie: you got it
They leave the hallway and they go back to the front room. It's her second week working at the club when Charlie overhears the owner Wilson Jacks and an unknown man talking about a shipment coming into Montreal in the next day or so. She also has been seeing Johnny outside of the club, he has no idea that she's an undercover cop
Wilson: when is the shipment coming in?
Rick: Friday night, the suppliers are really hyped up about it. They say it's pure Black Tar Heroin street value about 3.5 million dollars we are going to make a lot of money from this
Charlie trips over the trashcan at the bottom of the stairs
Rick: what was that?
Rick opens the door and starts going down the stairs to check it out, Charlie hears him and she panics and darts into the ladies room
Wilson: your hearing things now where were we?
They finish conducting their business and Charlie comes out of the bathroom and once again walks right into Mac
Mac: we have to stop meeting like this
Charlie: what are you talking about?
Mac: I've noticed that you have been struggling to keep up I can give you something to take the edge off and help you keep up
Charlie: what are you talking about?
Mac: oh you know
Charlie: why are you wasting my time
He takes a syringe out of his jacket pocket
Mac: Journey told me she walked in on you last week take it you'll be glad you did
Charlie takes the syringe from Mac when Wilson and Rick come down the stairs from the office
Wilson: Mac what's going on here?
Mac: was just giving Charlie a boost that's all
Wilson: Charlie is it?
Charlie: yes Mr. Jacks
Wilson: your new here how are things going?
Charlie: a little overwhelming but I am holding my own
Gail is about to go to a place she never thought she would
Wilson: we're all friends here you don't have to hide it from us
Charlie looks at him with uncertainty in her eyes and begins to panic
Mac: give me it
He takes it out of her hand and takes her right arm and shoots it directly into the vein. Unable to stop herself she stumbles backward hitting the wall. Mac reaches out to steady her and she grabs a hold of his arm
Wilson: easy he shot it through your vein quicker than your used to. It takes hits you fairly quickly
Charlie is now able to find her feet and she steadies herself
Mac: feeling better?
Charlie: yeah thanks
Wilson: both of you need to get back to work nice to have you with us Charlie
Charlie: thank you
Mac and Charlie go about their business while Wilson and Rick leave the club to set up the arrangements for the shipment coming in

Journey: she got in over her head and she is not doing so well. Wilson got her addicted to the Black Tar Heroin he's been dealing out of the club
Tyler: sounds like she needs some help, I'll contact her CO when this is all over with. I haven't heard from her in like 2 weeks so I figured something might be up

Johnny: baby you need to get some sleep you have been up for the past 2 days what is going on with you?
Charlie: I can't sleep I feel like I've messed up some how and this is my punishment
He wraps her in his arms and she begins shaking uncontrollably
Johnny: you can't go to work like this you need to call out
Charlie: I can't they are putting me on stage tonight and I have to be there or they will know something is up
Johnny: I don't like it I am just saying
Charlie: I know it's going to be ok and then I'll be back here in your arms before you know it
She gets up out of bed and goes to the bathroom to get ready for work and she finds her hidden stash of her new addiction and she shoots up between her toes. She then goes about getting dressed. This is all going on with her boyfriend Johnny on the other side of the door oblivious to what has been going on
It's 6 pm when Charlie arrives at work and she is really excited about going on stage
Coco: hey Charlie are you nervous?
Charlie: yes and no, what's it feel like being up there?
Coco: there is no one else in the room it's just me doing my thing
Charlie: I've done nothing like this before
Coco: weren't you a stripper back in San Diego?
Charlie: it was a small club we did private parties nothing like this though
Coco: ok well the boss is here tonight so good luck
Charlie: thanks
Coco goes about getting ready for the night while Charlie begins to panic and she heads for the ladies room and takes out another syringe and shoots up
In the Dressing Room…
Journey: Eden where's my lip stick you borrowed it the other night?
Eden: sorry here it is
She hands Journey the tube of lipstick and Charlie comes out of the bathroom
Dylan: good evening ladies
Eden: hey Dylan
They finish getting ready for the evening. Wilson and Rick begin unloading the shipment of Black Tar Heroine out back in the alley when the police raid the club
Detective Tyler Franks: police no one move you are all under arrest
Charlie: what's going on?
Tyler: miss you were told not to move
He stops her from struggling and puts her hands behind her back and puts cuffs on her. The rest of the raid team continue to round up the employees. Detective Franks hands Charlie off to a female police officer and he goes out back with two others to the alley behind the club
Out Back in the Alley…
Wilson: this is good almost done unloading
The door bursts open and several Officers come out with Detective Franks in the lead their guns drawn
Detective Franks: freeze Wilson Jacks your are under arrest for distribution of Narcotics you have the right to remain silent…

Tyler: your strung out and I think you got in way over your head when you took this undercover op. You are being put on paid leave until you can get yourself under control
Gail: does my Staff Sergeant know about this?
Myka: not yet and we prefer not to tell him that is if you are willing to get yourself into a program and get clean
Gail: alright where am I going?
Tyler: Last Chance in Toronto you are not to contact any of the employees or customers from the Black Knight Strip Club. Officer Connors will escort you back and get you into the program
