LATER IN THE EVENING..

"Aren't you going to the club today?" Elvis asks as he sits by her on the bed... "No" "And why?" "I don't feel like going". "You sound like you have a choice". "And why can't I have a choice when Alfred makes decisions for me just because I work for him? Why can't I also have a choice?" She flares up. "Emerald? What are you hiding from me? What aren't you telling me?" He raises an eyebrow questionably . "Nothing.. It's nothing". "Nothing?? Really? Listen Emerald I'm your brother and I love you.. I love you very much..I'm willing to protect you with my life if need be.. If you can't tell me about certain things that are bothering you, then who else would you confide in?". "I love you too brother... If there's anything I promise to tell you.. I'm just...moody that's all" she hugs him and he sighs... He could tell she wasn't being truthful but for the time being he was going to let it go... He hugs her back and caresses her hair, sniffing it......

AT THE NIGHT CLUB...

He was seated with his legs crossed, his car keys twirling between his fingers as he glared at the man seated before him.... "What the hell are you telling me?"

. "I really don't know anything Mr. Fred" Alfred says... "Are you aware that with just the snap of my fingers I could get this entire night club pulled down? I need that girl!!" Fred growls. "I wouldn't lie sir.. There's no relevant information about melanin" he replies as he rummages through the files with shaky hands. Frederick angrily snatches the files from him and searches through them, his frown deepening with each turn of page... "How the f*ck is this possible!!!! She's been working here for almost six months and you have no information about her.... All I see is her name, age, parents and siblings name and nothing else.... No address, no contacts.... Nothing!! Absolutely nothing!!" He throws the files onto the floor and adds "Where is she now?" "She didn't report for work today.. She called in sick" "When she reports for work, let me immediately or else... You know what I'm capable off... I want Emerald at the earliest!! I want that girl.. I'm not done with her. I want her to work for me alone as my call girl.. Dance for me whenever I want, grace my bed whenever I want... I will pay you any amount Alfred..I'll be waiting" he says and walks out banging the door behind him.... Alfred sighs and gathers the files he had thrown away... Emerald was one of his most efficient workers and he couldn't just let her go but if he didn't, Frederick would hunt him down.... Frederick was just a twenty two year old man but his actions were the same as that of a rogue... His father's wealth and power had gotten so much into his head that he had no respect for humanity especially if they were not of his class.... He was well known for using girls for as long as he wanted and then discard them like trash when he felt bored... It was no news, everyone knew of his deeds but no one could say a word to his face. Why? Because he was the one and only chief Benson's son. If something was not done, then Emerald's life could be ruined, void of joy and peace just like he had done to all those girls.... Picking up his phone, Alfred dials a number... "Hello?"

*******

There's a call for you. You really should get yourself a phone" Elvis says as he hands her the cell phone.. She shrugs and takes it, placing it against her ear "I don't need one" "Hello.. Yes...why?? Okay.. Bye" "What's up?" "My boss... He just gave me a two weeks leave from work". "Really? That's... Unlike him" "Something is fishy but anyway I don't care.. I will have time to rest and study" she smiles... At least, she wouldn't have to worry about bumping into Frederick for the next two weeks.. That's if, she manages to convince her brother to change their place of training. Maybe he would get a different arts training center, in a different environment, where she was sure Frederick wouldn't be the owner..... "I love you so much brother!" She pouts... He looks at her suspiciously and laughs "Tell me, what do you want? You don't just say you love me for saying sake". "Can we go a different place for our training?". "And what's wrong with where we train?". "Well, its not a nice place.. Its not cosy.. The people there are not welcoming... They have poor training materials" "You know, your are just giving flimsy excuses.. But anyway fine..

. If that place isn't comfortable for you, then we aren't going there. Happy?". "Very happy.. You know you are the best brother there is right?" She asks fluttering her eyelashes. "Yh. I become the best anytime I do something for you" "Oh cummon.. It's the truth" "Yh yh... Okay now go to bed.. You have lectures tomorrow" he says and pecks her forehead before walking out.... She lays on the bed and closes her eyes.... Now, she wouldn't have to bother about seeing Frederick Benson anytime soon....
