The Equalizer Ch. 3
Robyn and Mel knocked on the door of the superintendent.
"Hello," a middle aged woman answered the door.
"Hi we're looking for this gentleman," Robyn said showing a picture of Bathsheba's boyfriends on her phone.
"Oh him hmph. I haven't seen him for at least a week and he's behind on rent."
"When did he disappear?" Mel asked.
"Dissapppeared? As far as I know he was dunking out on the rent and hiding somewhere. The last I saw him he was rather paranoid like someone was after him but he never seemed right in the head to me, so I didn't think much of it. Personally, I think he's on drugs."
Back at the lab Harry looked at security cameras around the apartment building and looks at the phone records. "So, her boyfriend's name is Jeremy Nickels. The location of his phone puts him last at the club, which means he didn't go home that night."
"What if the pimp took him and Bathsheba for his debt?"
"That would explain his disappearance," Harry said.
"But where could they be hiding them? Harry could you find out about the pimp? See who he is and what property he might own."
Meanwhile, Bathsheba and Jeremy are chained up in a basement. "Jeremy I'm scared," Bathsheba said shivering. Her face was a little bruised and she struggled with her chains. Her dress is tattered and torn with bruises on her legs.
"I'm sorry that I got you into this mess Baby," Jeremy said pitifully with his back slumped.
Just then footsteps approached. It's the pimp with a red dress hand. He approached her and said," You. You're coming with me."
Bathsheba whimpered and her eyes started to tear up.
The pimp unchained her then forced her to her feet.
Meanwhile Robyn received a call from Dante.
"Hey Marcus."
"Hey Robyn."
"LA still won't ever feel like home. I miss you my weekend visit was not enough."
"I miss you too and actually I have something to tell you."
"What about?"
Just then a call from Harry came in
"One second Marcus Harry is calling me about a case."
"Talk to me Harry."
"Ok so the pimp we're looking for is named John Philips and he is connected to the mob. He has a history of money laundering in addition to human trafficking and he owns properties on the lower east side. My bet is that they are somewhere in one of his properties."
"Great I'll be on my way."
Harry Hung up.
"Marcus Are you still there?"
"Yes but I have to go we have a meeting. We can talk soon."
Meanwhile at the pimps' property Bathsheba is dressed in a sensuous red dress and is crying on a bed where she waits for a John. The sound of men fighting is heard in the background. Robyn busted through the door.
"It's alright Bathsheba I'm hear to bring you home," Robyn said assuredly.
Bathsheba cried into Robyn's chest.
Just then Mel came through the door with a liberated Jeremy.
"Baby I promise I'll do better. I'm so sorry."
"How about we do the making up once we're out of the building," Robyn said.
"Right," Mel replied.
Just then some henchmen with guns came through the door shooting.
Robyn and Mel shot back with Bathsheba and Jeremy safely behind them. They ran out to the van Harry was waiting in. The four of them loaded into the van.
"Go, go, go, go," Mel said.
They sped off into the night.
Bathsheba was reunited with her mother. They embraced each other.
Jeremy goes to rehab.
Robyn crept into the house at 11:00 p.m.
"Hello Robyn," Aunt Vi said firmly.
"Hey Mom," Dee said.
"You're just in time for a family meeting," Aunt Vi led.
"Ok. About what?" Robyn asked.
"These two party favors," Aunt Vi said brandishing the two positive pregnancy tests.
Robyn looked at her as she is caught and has been found out.
"Robyn are you pregnant?" Aunt Vi asked frankly.
