Chapter 7:
Lila Caputo walked towards the Tigers Club, a dusky, dingy and dank little nightclub in the poorest area of LA. From around the corner she could hear the somnolent buzz of the eponymous neon tiger which hung at the front of the building, she could hear the clinking of glasses and drone-like chatter of the hundreds of people gathered in the club. As she entered the joint, the intermingled smells of smoke and sweat instantly assaulted her nostrils as she inhaled deeply. She despised the place were the lower-class mingled, but it was her hunting ground. Finally finding her way to an empty barstool in the corner, she caught the eye of a young girl and a friendly smile wiped across her face. By now, her eyes were adjusting to the imminent darkness and tomblike at the same time. Bright spots of neon beer signs on the wall stood out, illuminating the faces and cleavage and mohawks of the crowd, while others disappeared into the contrastnig blackness.
A moment later, a glass of champagne slid in front of her, the bar staff all knew her by now and knew she liked anything with an expensive taste. She took her first sip of the champagne, cold and icy, slightly sweet and tangy against her lips. She sat sipping her champagne for a while as she carefully watched the young girl. She was perfect: young, sweet and innocent. Leaving her empty glass, she stood up and began calmly strolling towards the young girl. Sitting beside her, Lila asked "hi honey, are you okay"
"Fine" stuttered the girl, but Lila noticed there were tears sparkling in the girls hazel eyes
"I'm Lila...what's your name" replied Lila with a sweet smile
"Angel" answered the girl as a single tear rolled down her cheek and Lila gently placed her hand on Angel's knee. Lila looked like an old-fashioned, glamorous movie star, she looked just like Marilyn Monroe. She had seductive, heavy lidded, crystal blue eyesand high-arched eyebrows, giving her a look of suprise and continous interest. She had a long, yet slightly turned up nose, full lucious red lips and on her cheek a small beauty spot. Her hair was long and way, it was strawberry blonde and shimmered when it hit the light. Lila was extremely attractive and had an amazing figure, it was curvacious and buxom. Lila figeted with her diamond necklace which hung around her neck, before she smiled and questioned "Angel, honey...you look sad, what's wrong". Lila's voice was soft and heart-warming, she could capture anyones trust but it was a voice that she could also use to manipulate.
"I've run away, I hate my family and my life" mumbled Angel
"Don't say that, you're young...you've got your whole life, ahead of you" replied Lila before asking "are you alone, this place isn't safe for a young girl, how old are you"
"Yeah, am alone...I don't even know anyone here" sniffled Angel before she sobbed "I'm fifteen, with no money and no place to stay"
"Oh, honey" gasped Lila before she stroked Angel's cheek and asked kindly "would you like to come home with me, I've got a spare room"
"Oh, my god...are you sure" happily whimpered Angel as she wiped away her tears
"Yeah, I've always wanted a room mate, you should definitely stay...come home with me" assured Lila before suggesting "we'll go home, I'll cook you a beautiful meal...you must be starving"
"I am" answered Angel as she wrapped her arms around her growling stomach before Lila gently grabbed her hand.

Tiffany awoke to find Eddie sleeping at the bottom of the bed, a loving smile wiped across her face and she rushed her fingers through his hair. He always returned home late nowadays, simply because he worked late, often he spent hours during the night, prowling LA selling and dealing drugs. Tiffany couldn't help but worry about him, but it offered her a bit of excitement, she imagined herself as a gangsters moll. It was unusual to find him at the end of the bed, usually she found him curled up on the sofa in the livingroom, since he didn't want to go into the bedroom and wake his girlfriend. Pecking him on the cheek, she stepped off the bed and left the bedroom. Suddenly she heard the phone ring, rushing to answer it, she answered it with a cheerful "hello, who's speaking please"
"Tiffany, honey" she heard the caller purr, and Tiffany instantly knew it was Lila
"Lila, are you okay...it seems as if I haven't seen you for ages" replied Tiffany
"Honey, you've been so busy with my nephew, I think you forgot about little old me" giggled Lila
"Well, we'll go get our hair done this weekend, shall we" suggested Tiffany
"Definitely, but I think I'll be seeing you sooner...tell my handsome nephew, he's needed for business" informed Lila before adding "I'll see you later, come as soon as possible. Love you two loads". Tiffany placed the phone down, then turned around with a look of confusion on her face before she realised what Lila meant by 'business'. Entering the bedroom, Tiffany sat on the edge of the bed and tugged at the bedsheets, Eddie let out a loud yawn before sitting up and mumbling "what's up, Tiffany"
"Auntie Lila, she wants you now...for business" Tiffany revealed with a smirk
"Okay, are you gonna' come"
"Yeah, I haven't seen her for ages, bloody hell, she's the closest thing I've got to a mother" snapped Tiffany before giggling and flinging her arms around Eddie's neck. Kissing him passionately, she whispered "let's get ready". Tiffany slipped into tight leather pants, a leopard print t-shirt and slicked her hair back into a pony tail before announcing "am ready". Grabbing her bag, she grabbed a bunch of rope from a draw in the kitchen and stuffed it into the bag, before joining the anxious Eddie at the front door.
Eddie jumped into the drivers seat of his car and Tiffany climbed into the front passengers seat. He quickly switched on the ignition then drove to Lila's house. Lila's home was a large, spacious, picture-perfect two story apartment. It had the tallest ceiling ever, lovely crown-molding, a beautifully crafted marble table in the centre and a flight of spiral staircases which led to the second floor. The floor was made of ceramic tile which was imported first-class straight from Italy and amazing antiques were delicately placed around the several different rooms. Several magnificent pieces of art hung from the high walls, each one specifically painted to her standards. When Tiffany had first entered Lila's home, she was mesmerized by the beauty of it, she'd never seen anything so beautiful. Now, Lila's home had become Tiffany and Eddie's second home. Lila greeted Tiffany with a welcoming and loving hug, before pecking Eddie on the cheek and giggling "business as usual".
The trio hurried through the apartment, then entered a room at the far end of Lila's home, the room was empty except for a bed in the center and a table and two chairs beside it. Angel, the young girl from the club was stretched across the bed, the trio gazed at her. She was drenched in sweat, her panicking ivy green eyes where fluttering wildly as she wiggled left and right. She had an innocent sweet face and she was slim and slender, she had fiery red hair and pale milky skin. They studied her body, as Tiffany and Lila sat on the chairs and Lila began filling two glasses with champagne "this is all I drink" chuckled Lila
"Oh, I know...but it's so nice" laughed Tiffany before remembering "Oh, I brought you some rope, Eddie was telling me you need it". As the women chatted, giggled and sipped their champagne, Eddie stared at Angel with a long lustful gaze, until he slowly got onto his knee's and began crawling towards her. He looked at her with a yearning hunger as he began to passionately kiss Lila's defiant catch. "This one's a virgin, so I thought, I'd let my adorable nephew break her in...you know, before the clients come around" casually explained Lila, before adding "with the last girl, they complained since she began bleeding, I realised I had a virgin on me"
"Aren't they worth more, when you're whoring them out" wondered Tiffany
"Nope, I don't know why, but my clients, they like a young girl with experiance"
"Have you been busy" questioned Tiffany
"Oh, honey...my other apartments full of girls, it's always busy. Am worried, in case there's a bloody raid" complained Lila before asking "are you okay"
"Yeah, but I've been having them nightmares again" answered Tiffany
"Oh, honey, you poor thing. I know he doesn't know, so we'll talk about it later. I just want to see this" caringly replied Lila, before the two women turned to watch the predator and his prey. By then, Angel's clothes were wripped and torn, Eddie hovered his hands over her breasts and slid his fingers through her filthy jeans. Shameless, the two women watched intensely into Angel's crying eyes, "please, help me" she quietly mumbled. It seemed a neverending nightmare for Angel.
"It's fucking annoying, when they do that" sneered Tiffany as she glared at Angel
"Why" laughed Lila before adding sarcastically "do you feel sorry, for the poor little mite"...
