Crimes in the heart of Blackcliff (part 2)

Jack drove after them.

Gwen stepped out of the car when they got there and looked up at the new place, turned out better than she expected. She smiled over at Roger taking his arm as they headed in.

Jack muttered something under his breath lighting a smoke before looking the place over.

"Oh lighent up a little Jacky boy" Roger said

Jack shot him a glare before giving him a forced friendly expression. "Yes, sir", he said before puffing at his smoke.

"That's a good mate" Roger smiled patting his back.

James was at the mansion relaxing.

"It's uh," Nadine said looking over the building, "Definitely huge... so what was it before? A restaurant or something? You've expanded out too, as there was a car park here before."

"No, just the same it is now" Gwen said heading in

"Just looks bigger because things have been moved around," Nadine concluded.

"Oh, it is a little bigger" Gwen said "Talbot insisted I add a security room. Plus there's some extra space for the entertainers to change."

"Entertainers... me... I like it, Gwen," Nadine said looking at the stage.

"What else would I call them" Gwen said "Not everyone that puts on a show here is a woman and most of them aren't strippers, well at least not the kind you'd see dancing around a pole."

"Oh, I wasn't meaning the title, Gwen," Nadine said, "It's just you said entertainer's have a room to change, and for a minute I forgot that this was something I'm meant to be thrilled over. I'm already won, but having a security room here, will give us all better protection."

"Yes it will" Gwen said "So are you up for giving a little show right now?"

"Now?" Nadine said slightly shy, and turned to see Tiffany walk through the door, and then agreed quickly, "Sure why not, as long as I don't have to do it alone."

James walked in with Tiffany.

William was checking out the security room.

"No you don't" Gwen said looking over at Tiffany "and don't be shy dear."

"Newbie, give me ten minutes and she'll be right for you. Come on, Nadine... I don't think Gwen was joking about you performing. She wants to make sure I have the best dancers on the floor," Tiffany said coming up behind her giving her a startled yelp, "And I'm sure James can get his brother to come back in, when we're ready."

Nadine blushed as she headed off like a helpless victim.

Gwen smiled at the two before going over to the bar and getting a drink.

James and William walked over to the bar.

"This is for you... is basic, I was going to keep it for you for later, but costumes have been known to make more than one appearance," Tiffany said pulling it out of its bag and shaking it out, then she caught eye of Nadine's reaction.

"Hey... its an angel costume... I wouldn't be putting something so sweet as you in something raunchy too soon, it would be a joke."
"It's short."
"Would you prefer a nun's outfit? Here's one?"

Nadine glanced at the outfit and shook her head, but Tiffany sighed and hopped up onto a bench, "Alright, amuse me... what sort of dancing have you done, ballet?"
"No."
"Tap then? Come on, I'm serious, I want to know not because I'm teasing you, it will help me understand your history."
"I've done aerobic dancing."
"Ah."

She disappeared and came back with an outfit that Nadine actually nodded to.
"Now, the music won't be too flavoursome, but on this occasion, its just to get you dancing. Making you feel comfortable, not so much of a bitch am I? Yeah, yeah look surprised. I actually have you girls best interests at heart. I'm not going to force you into a costume that's completely not you, until you're ready, otherwise not only will you look the fool, I'll be one too."

Tiffany headed out to the stage and lent over to pass a CD down which a worker took off her. She spotted the boys and called out, "I've got her in an outfit, took a bit of persuasion, but I have worked my magic with her."

James smirked a little. "Heh."

William elbowed James.

Jack sat down with a drink.

"Behave boys" Gwen said looking over at them
