Chapter 13

The Prancing Pixie looked fine, albeit quiet. It tended to look that way most of the day, she thought fondly. Though by the point in afternoon that Anjasa arrived, it should have been showing some signs of life at least.

It was a relief to see it was in better shape than her dress, at least, which by that point was not only sullied but also tattered and torn.

When she went to the door she found it unlocked and ajar, though inside…

A huge mess was the only way to describe it. A huge, nearly vacant mess. Tables and chairs toppled over, hardly a one up-right. The crunch of glass as she walked in said that many of the lanterns and glasses had also been smashed. Though she heard some voices coming from the kitchen area.

As she approached it, she saw within two of the club's workers.

The plainclothes workman, Lucas, was handing a steaming cup to Prim, one of the club’s youngest and daintiest dancers. She more than any fit the club’s name, though she shook like a leaf as she accepted the cup.

Anjasa cursed herself. She thought she’d been playing Luscius, feeling out some weak point, but she wasn’t. She was being played by him. That, more than anything, pissed her off. She was smarter than this. Better than this.

Her libido was just numbing her brain and fogging everything else.

The elf's hands tensed into fists and she silently observed for a few moments, glancing around for a trap. It had to be another trap.

Prim’s cutesy little voice was wavering from the tension that obviously strained her delicate body. “Is… do you think this is it then for the club, Lucas?” The teacup shook in her hands and the kindly Lucas helped steady it for her, lifting it to her lips so she could drink a sip.

“Nah, there’ll always be need of a place like this, lil’ miss,” he reassured her in a calm and steady voice. He was a day worker mainly, helping with the loading and unloading of goods, tidying up and preparing things each morning. There was a good chance he missed whatever happened over night. “You won’t need ta worry ‘bout bein’ outta work.”

“But you don’t know what it was like!” she cried, eyes big and glassy. The poor young woman must have been traumatized by the thug’s events of last night. “They searched and in… in… interrogated us all! Gave us each a prick with some needle-thing!”

Anjasa’s nose crinkled at the memory of Luscius’ token and the prick it had given her. Sneaky fucker.

“S’alright,” he assured her, helping her take another sip of the steaming tea as he cupped her hands, keeping them steady for her.

“They… they took some of the girls away,” she added meekly, sadness filling her voice.

“Who?” Anjasa interrupted, her arms folded beneath her bust. “Which girls?”

Prim nearly jumped out of her seat, and if it hadn’t been for Lucas holding her hands and the cup itself, it would have went to the floor.
