Chapter Thirteen

Megan

After four additional shifts, Megan had the required tokens for a bribe plus enough so each lady could keep two for herself. There was nothing stopping her now.

Excitement prickled her skin. I can do this.

I’d better or else. Her stomach dropped like a rock.

Vespar, Andros, and Racan’s shitty treatment didn’t help. She’d fought to keep her distance, which Vespar hadn’t allowed. Fine. She could play that game, except it wasn’t fun or satisfying. When she ignored them, as they had her, hurt registered in their eyes. Then they were back to their macho crap.

Guys were such jerks. How easy everything would have been if she could have opened up, telling them to treat her like a damn worthy person.

Dream on.

They didn’t care and never would. Fuck, they were demons, even if it was the lesser, fallen angel variety. To her dismay, she still liked them, or the men they could be if they weren’t such dicks at times.

Like they’ll ever be nice down here. Sure.

She shook off her futile hope and shoved the tokens into a bag from the company store.

As ready as she’d ever be, Megan nodded to her crew. They surrounded her near the lowest bunk in the dorm, masking the filled bag from the cameras. As they engaged in a group hug, they tottered en masse toward the hall. If the guys watched and thought their behavior strange, let them. She’d lie about her BFFs liking women as much as guys.

Once they reached the hall, Katie squeezed her the hardest. “Be careful.”

“I will.” She spoke as softly as Katie had.

Jahzara kissed her cheek. “I know you’ll make it. You’re the one.”

“You betcha,” Dolly said, tears running down her face.

Francine, Petra, and Queenie cried too hard to speak.

Megan was weepy, too, and scared, but put on a brave front. “Everything’s cool. This is doable, all right?”

They nodded.

She pushed back her fear. “If I don’t return in time for my shift, pretend I never existed. You don’t know me.”

Katie sobbed. “Don’t say that. We’ll create a diversion, setting fire to the place, or getting the patrons to tear it apart again, or something to keep anyone from noticing you’re late.”

“Don’t, please. I don’t want you guys hurt by what I’m doing.”

“We’ll be fine.” Dolly squeezed her shoulder. “Watch out for yourself. We won’t rest until you get back.”

That’s what worried her. No matter what the guys did to her for attempting to escape, she’d made that choice. She didn’t want her decisions to affect anyone else. “Think of those who’ll come after me and the ones already here, including you. If you don’t protect our plans, no one will get out. So quit crying, do your shopping as always, then go back to the dorm or the club. Pretend everything is normal. Please.”

They promised to do so, but insisted on surrounding her for protection until they’d passed the store.

Without them as her shield, Megan clutched the tokens to her chest and ran as she never had before down the unending hall.
