Zandra walked into the club and was greeted happily by her co-workers. They were all dressed in their costumes and Zandra knew if she didn't get changed soon her boss would come back very angry. She did a very quick change and as she got the last snap of her top snapped he walked in.

"Nice to are you actually deciding to come to work Mocha." he said walking back out. Star nudged her.

"Nice job." Star said with a smile.

"thanks." Zandra replied as she adjusted her heals. "But I have a feeling I'll be up first."

"Mocha!" the boss called and Zandra have Star an I told you so look. Cyclone started blaring out of the speakers and Zandra opened the curtain. She bowed dramatically and quickly came back up throwing her hair back. The crowd went nuts. Zandra want the house favorite but she was the favorite warm up. If Zandra danced first she got the other girls hyped up. They all knew Zandra was an very good dancer so if she went first, they all had to step it up a couple of notches.

Zandra walked up to the stripper pole and wrapped her leg around it bending backwards till her hands touched the floor then stood on her hands and spred her legs. She stood up and moved her body round like mimicking a cyclone. She then climbed up the pole and slid down it up side down. She then walked down the stage and as sexy as she could crawled down to a guy at the end and took a twenty with her teeth. She unsnapped her shirt so she could out the money in her black studded bra. She danced till the song was done and she was only in her underwear and heals. That was one of thetge only reasons she danced there. It was one of the more respectable strip clubs where the girls didn't dance nude.

"That was Mocha, our naughty cop who isn't afraid to get down and dirty." the announcer said as Zandra picked up her cloths. "What a way to start off the night let me tell you what. She's one cop I wouldn't mind getting cuffed by."

Zandra playfully glared up at him and he blew her a kiss. He was another guy Zandra flirted shamelessly with. Most of the strippers did. The more he liked you the better he announced your entrance. The more money you made. It was a shameful secret of hers. And that was why she had only told Jesse about it. She didn't need the money so it was more of just a fun job on the side. The truth was it was the only place people didn't are her sscar and stare at it. It was the only place she felt truly beautiful.

"Hey Johnny." Zandra said walking up to her boss. "I need to take a month off for my other job. Won't be back till january."

"No can do baby." Johnny said shaking his head. "You need to be here, and you've already taken off to much time."

"Come on Johnny man." Zandra protested.

"Mocha you'd bring asked for some nights." johnny said looking up at her. "Your losing me business."

"Have Star dance for them." Zandra pleaded. "She needs the money more than I do. I could just quit you know. Its not like this is my ply income."

"Mocha, baby." Johnny said knowing he wasn't going to win. "Some guys are looking for a hot chocolate number like you. Do you really want to let them down?"

Zandra nodded and Johnny sighed. "Fine but if your spot is filled when you come back don't say I didn't warn you."

"Thank you Johnny." Zandra said with a victorious smile.

"Yeah yeah, just hey your ass on the floor and make some money." Johnny said waving her away. Zandra quickly changed and went back out to work the floor.

XOXOXOXO

Zandra didn't get back home till around five the next morning. She snuck into the house so no one would wake. Lucky for her she had washed her make up off and out her scrubs back on because jesse and Leland were asleep cuddled up together on the couch. When she walked into her bedroom she found Dakota asleep in her bed and Colbie asleep in Jesse's. Zandra smile and snuck back out of the house so she wouldn't wake any one. She then called Duane Lee.

"Aloha." Duane Lee said tiredly into his phone.

"Hey sorry to wake you." Zandra said softly. "Is your couch available?"

"What's wrong with your bed." Duane Lee asked sounding a little annoyed that she had woken him up.

"Claimed by a little Chapman munchkin." Zandra explained. "I didn't have the heart to wake him."

"Yeah come on over... Oh wait. Dylan has a friend over." Duane Lee said with a groan. He was obviously getting out of bed.

"Thats ok. I'll call Lyssa." Zandra said but Duane Lee said something before and hung up. "Sorry what? I missed that last part."

"Abbie has got a really bad cold. Lyssa would kill you if you woke her up." Duane Lee replied. "Come on over. You can sleep in my bed. I'm picking Justin up from the airport in a few hours any way."

"Are you sure?" Zandra asked she'd feel bad it she was really kicking him out of his bed.

"Just hey your ass here before I change my mind." Duane Lee said with a chuckle. Some times Zandra was too nice for her own good. When Zandra walked in she found Duane Lee in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee. He was already dressed for the day.

"I am so sorry. The boys were sleeping in Jesse's and my beds and Jesse and Leland ha the couch." Zandra apologetically gave him a quick hug.

"Don't worry about it Zay. I left some old cloths on the bed for you to sleep in." Duane Lee said with a smile. "Go hey some sleep. You look like hell."

Zandra playfully smacked his arm then headed for his room. The moment her head hit the pillow she was sound asleep. About six thirty he heard Dylan and his friend get up and ready for school. They both raced down the hall an into the kitchen where Duane Lee hushed them.

"Dylan, Zandra's asleep in my room. So lets yet not to wake her. She worked a double shift last night." Duane Lee warned. The boys looked at him funny.

"Why is she in your room?" Dylan asked. Duane Lee hid a smirk.

"Because I know how loud you can be. If she was sleeping on the couch you would have woken her."

"Who's Zandra?" Dylan's friend asked. "Is she your new girlfriend Mr. C?"

"No she's a family friend even though we have a net going." Dylan replied then looked over at his dad knowing he had just got caught saying some thing he wasn't supposed too.

"And this bet is?" Duane Lee asked and his son sighed.

"On who Zandra is going to end up with." Dylan replied. "Adam, Jonas, and Matty are in on it along with Cecily and Dakota."

"Tell me more." Duane Lee said Dylan knew he wanted to know where he stood in the standings.

"Cecily and Adam think she'll end up with Justin since they are closer in age. Dakota says Leland, but that's because he likes Zay better than Jesse. Matty and I think you. And Jonas thinks she'll date Justin and you but end up with Leland in the long run." dylan said with a smile.

"well no more betting on it." Duane Lee said. "And I will be telling Dad and Leland as well."

Duane Lee dropped the boys off at school then went to the airport where he met a very worried looking Leland.

"Whats wrong with you bra?" Duane Lee asked.

"Zandra didn't come home last night." Leland replied sounding very worried. "And her phone is turned off."

"Oh really?" Duane Lee said trying not to give away that he knew where Zandra was. He still wanted pay back.
