Part 1...jesus
Vala had woken up late in the day to find Jordan already gone. It didn’t surprise her really. She’d showered and then dressed in a long white flowing skirt with a fitted lavender t-shirt. Slipping a pair of white flip-flops on, she tied her hair back with a lacey scarf. She was about done putting her makeup on when a knock sounded at her door. Going into the living room she opened the door finding Jazzy standing outside. The other girl entered and they talked for a few moments about the night before.
Finishing up getting ready, Vala grabbed up her large purse and made sure everything she needed was inside before they headed out. Shopping had always been one of Vala’s favorite activities. Jazzy and her shopped til their hearts content, grabbed a bite to eat and then went their separate ways.
Vala still had one thing to do before she returned home. Making her way to Temptress she swung the bags in her hands, mentally singing a tune. Walking into the strip club she raised a brow at the handful of early birds, praying that her boss wouldn’t put her on the spot and ask her to come in. She really wanted the night off to do nothing but sit in front of her TV, eating Ben and Jerry’s and just relaxing. It wasn’t really like she needed the money, one she had some money still coming from her father and two she’d managed to squirrel away enough of her work earnings to live a little more comfortably. Going over to the bar she rapped on the top and smiled sweetly at her boss. After speaking to him for a few moments he handed Vala her check.
It was then she felt a tap to her shoulder. Turning around she raised a brow at Anna Lisa whose expression was sour towards her.
“Someone wants you…again.” The short blonde snorted, a disgusted look upon her face and then turned on her heel with a flip of her hair.
Vala let out a soft sigh, both brows rising as she scanned the club. There weren’t any of her regulars in the club, but there was a new guy.
Ok, Vala thought to herself as she started over to him, What the hell is going on?
She paused a few feet away from him, and eyed him carefully as he spoke her name. She nodded her head, watching him carefully still as he stood on wobbly legs. She blinked as he leaned on her, and started whispering close to her ear. Her brows furrowed, lips parting in a silent gasp as he mentioned Phillip. She had no idea that Phillip was actually an officer for the HILE. He’d seemed so nice. A little pushy and clingy perhaps, but nice. He was the man that Jordan had run out of the club last night actually. Vala was a little skeptical of this man’s offer, one she didn’t know his name and two she had no idea of what his intentions really were. However, he was drunk and apparently needed help getting to wherever he was going. If he was lying to her, she could dust him and then leave before anyone would be the wiser.
Letting out a mental groan, she shifted all of her bags to one hand as soon as it was apparent that he wasn’t going to take no for an answer. Wrapping her free arm around his waist, she gave a nod to her boss as they walked out and glanced up at the man as he paused for a moment outside of Temptress. She wondered exactly what he was looking for as his gaze was cast up and down the sidewalk, and then they begun walking. The walk was long, and Vala was about to pull out her notebook and ask just where in the hell they were going when a rather large ship was brought into view. She blinked, eyes going slightly wide at the size and beauty of the ship. She’d never seen anything like it.
