The Equalizer

Ch.2

Robyn couldn't believe the results. She shook the test as if it would make the plus turn into a minus. "Ok. Let's try this again," Robyn said to herself before opening the second pack holding the other test. But sure enough that test had a bold plus sign that taunted her. She had no time for this when there was a kidnapped woman out there who could be enduring God knows what.

She had no clue what she was going to do, but she knew that she needed to rescue Bathsheba.

Just then her phone rang, it was Harry.

"Hey Rob."

"Hey Harry."

"So I found some information on Charles Riker also known as Fabulous, the club owner and there are also a few witnesses who saw Bathsheba right before she was snatched.

"What's up with the club owner?"

"Well he's been suspected of drug trafficking and said to brutalize those who owed him money."

"So you think Bathsheba's boyfriend owed him money and let Bathsheba be taken as payment?"

"It will be hard to interrogate him as it seems Bathsheba's prince charming has vanished."

"We got to find him, he is a big piece in this puzzle.

"Are you feeling up to it? Did you get enough rest?

"Yes. I'm positive."

"Ok. Our best lead is talking to the club owner."

At the club Robyn and Harry waited in line to be admitted into the club. They both were wearing clubbing outfits.

Meanwhile, Delilah took out the trash out of all the house's trash cans and then went to the garage to dump the giant bag of trash. What she found was a small trash bag that unraveled, exposing two pregnancy tests.

Shocked, Delilah put down the bag she had in hand and retrieved the small trash bag and went inside with it.

Aunt Vi was cooking gumbo in the kitchen and humming merrily when Delilah produced the two pregnancy tests.

"Auntie whose pregnancy tests are these?"

"Oh my. What are those doing in this house?"

"That's what I'm trying to figure out. Auntie?" Delilah said.

"Their not mine."

A look of epiphany comes over both of their faces.

"Mom?"

"Robyn? It can't be."

"Well who else lives in this house?"

Meanwhile Robyn and Harry scoped the V.I.P room.

"Harry look that room over there that says V.I.P. It's the club owner."

"He'll probably have security with him."

"You ready?"

"I'm as ready I can be," Robyn said shaking her arms out.

They approached the security guards and made quick work of them. They then forced their way into the V.I.P. room where a bunch of scantily clad women are dancing and grinding upon the club owner and a few other men.

"Fabulous," Robyn called.

"What do you want," the club owner called.

"Bathsheba Roberts," Robyn said.

Harry was on the lookout for the V.I.P.

"Who?" the club owner asked Robyn produced a picture of the young woman who was kidnapped.

"I don't know nothing about that dame," he insisted.

Robyn delivered a roundhouse kick that sent fabulous into the back wall. The women are startled and run out of the room.

Fabulous grunted and winced in pain.

"Now I'm not a woman who enjoys repeating herself. Tell me where is she?"

"I don't know there was this pimp here one night. I didn't know he was a pimp, but he had his boys with him. They were arguing with this chump who owed him some money and then he started getting rough with him. That broad was with the chump. I had them take things outside but I didn't see what happened to her. I swear."

"I'll check the security cameras, but if you're lying you will be an accessory to kidnapping and wrongful imprisonment.

In the lab Harry looked up the security footage more closely. "So as it turns out the boyfriend, Matthew Sanders, did owe a lot of money for an entreprenual venter that went bust."

"We got to find him."

"Well apparently he lived in an apartment located in lower Queens.
