Chapter 112

Kent climbs out of the second of three cars that take him and his captains to the meeting. He has shown up in force today, his overblown security force a deliberate message to Alden. Kent is done being pushed around and will rally his superior forces to stop

it, if necessary.

Climbing the short few steps into the strip club, Kent remembers

the last time he was here. When he had followed Fay into the Champagne Room, saw that pig of a man pressing her up against the cocktail table, ready to do as he pleased with her.

That moment had set his blood on fire. He had acted mostly on instinct that night, thinking he was helping a pretty young girl who didn’t deserve to be wrapped up in Dean’s particular brand of sexual depravity.

Little did he know what a diamond he’d found in this rough space.

Kent and his crew enter, heading directly for the back of the club, ignoring the pounding music and the dancers lighting up the stage. Instead, Kent’s crew works their way towards a back door where one of Kent’s security detail is already waiting.

The security agent nods to Kent, letting him know all is well, so Kent pushes through the door.
