“Do you have everything ready to go for tonight?” Fred came up behind me. The sun was starting to set and I was just watching it. Soon, people from all over will be arriving and all I could think about was Kara. Hopefully, Vin wasn’t doing anything to hurt her.
“Yeah. The girls were brought in about an hour ago. They are in their cages and ready for the show.”
“You look like a love sick puppy.” Fred slapped my back.
“I never enjoyed these events. Too many rich pricks measuring their own dicks. Never understood why they didn’t just go and steal human girls?”
“Where’s the fun in that!” Fred laughed as the sound of a car approached came up from behind us. “Show time.” Fred walked out as I went to the shed. My place tonight is in the shadows. Staying in the background, looking for my target and taking care of any drama that arrises.
The different venders were either done setting up or were putting up their final touches. Slipping against the wall, only my shoes were visible in the lightening. I dressed in all back to blend in as much as possible.
More and more people arrived, quickly filling the room with loud whispering. Circular tables were set up along the walls with chairs but there was still quite of few men that chose to stand. As the event was about to get started, the lights dimmed and the soft yellow lights flickered on. Only one large white light hung above the stage where the girls will be standing.
Since fights were prone when dealing with this kind of merchandise, we established an electronic system. Each person submitted their payment method and information when they arrived. In return, they got a key pad. If you wanted to bid, type in your amount and hit send. If your bid was first, the screen said first, or second and so forth. You can either submit a higher bid or hit cancel. Each girl was standing there for ten minutes or unless the bidding stalled.
“Does everyone have their beverage of choice and into position?” Hank was the auctioneer for these events. He was one of the worst guys I have ever met. I didn’t really give two fucks what happened to these girls but he took it to a whole different level. I’ve seen him cut a girls throat for not walking quick enough.
He is what people would call a silver fox. Salt and pepper hair with more gel than I thought it could even hold. He wore stupidly expensive suits for being as skinny as he was. More than once, I thought of him as a stick bug.
The flights instantly went off and the center one went on. Most of the whispering stopped and all eyes were focused on the stage. The door opened and a shorter girl was brought out. She was wearing only her bra and panties, her hair was flattened with makeup. This was Vin’s rule. If the girls looked good, they would sell better. So, a week before this event, no hitting or abuse so their skin is clear. All the guards I recognized from Vin’s army. He’s been wanting to take over for Darin but most of these guys are not wanting to do business with him. Like Frank said, his lack of respect is enough to push them away.
“Her name is Stacy. She comes from the fall of Alpha Rip, where she was groomed and taught values and morals. She is ready to be submissive to her next owner.” Hank stated clearly as he tossed her into the ring. She walked nervously to the middle and just stood there. She wouldn’t have been able to see anyone so as her eyes looked around, she was seeing only black.
My eyes scanned the room, looking for my target. At this point, there wasn’t any sign of him. Still, I kept looking at each face of each man that was here. Walking around, quietly, I acted as if I was just making sure no issues were around. Not looking too long but making mental notes of all I could see.
What bothered me more was the fact that Zac was sitting in the corner like he belonged here. However, if Vin was right and Tony was Colt’s private investigator, then he might just show up too. If I couldn’t find Tony, I might be able to follow Zac and find Tony that way.
Unfortunatly, Zac spotted me as I made my round but didn’t acknowledged me. We agreed to go our own ways when we woke up but I knew it was sooner or later our worlds would connect. He was a fucking roach for everyone involved.
