Chapter 73 - Collecting Information (2)

SD led her to an alley where there were a couple of public toilets. His 'hunchback' was actually a large bag carrying clothes and important toiletries. He handed Sunye a pair of casual clothes.

"We'll have to change in the toilets," he said. Sunye nodded and both of them headed towards the male and female toilets respectively. SD emerged out of his cubicle, already changed into a white shirt and leather pants. He washed his face and sprayed a strong scent all over himself to get rid of the stench he had been carrying for the mission.

Sunye was already waiting outside for him. She had changed into a flannel crop top and a short skirt. She wore a blue wig and boots.

"Looking like a harlot," SD remarked. "Perfect!"

"Why do you get to wear normal clothes?" she frowned.

"Because I'm going in as a customer while you'll be a server," he simply said. Sunye scowled at him. He was definitely enjoying dressing her up in such skimpy clothes all the time. 

Someday, I'm gonna make him suffer! She swore.

"So what are we exactly looking for?" Sunye whispered. He still did not tell her what sort of information he was fishing out.

"Usually I stake out for days, finding out even the tiniest information I can," he muttered back. "But let's keep it simple today. The guy's name is Heo Jinki. A stockbroker by profession but there have been whispers that he's been selling stock information to several firms in return for a huge sum of money which led to a massive amount of speculation. Many firms are buying stocks in bulk, causing a major crunch."

"His supervisor asked me to find the link," SD went on. "He isn't using any written nor traceable electronic method to sell the information. So how is he doing it?"

"You think he's conducting secret meetings with those firms?" Sunye deduced.

"Probably, " SD muttered. They were crossing the road, seemingly casual and cool as they walked towards the place where Jinki had disappeared. 

"But it's not that easy," he said. "Even if meeting them like this is a risk. Nah. He's using some other method."

"Who was the guy with him?" Sunye asked.

"I dug out information about him and he turned out to be a pimp," SD shrugged.

Pimp? 

"SD, are we entering a red light zone?" she hissed.

"This isn't exactly a red light zone," he murmured. "I've been following Jinki to this place for the past few days. He's a regular here but I didn't enter the place yet."

He pointed at the pink signboard which was now visible. Sunye read it and frowned. 

"Sweet Time Club," she read. That does not sound right.

"It's a strip joint," SD revealed. "Orea looked up the place and made all the preparations for our infiltration. I think he's using this place to sell his information. But how…"

"Please don't tell me I'll have to pretend to be a stripper!" she protested.

"Not a stripper!" SD groaned. "Just a server. Give them drinks and all. There's an ID in your skirt's pocket. Orea made it for you. It should get you in through the employee door. There's also a small bluetooth speaker in it. You'll be able to communicate with me through that. Once we're inside the club, you don't know me nor do I know you. Don't even look at my way. If anything goes wrong, just say the word 'Coconut' and I'll know that you're in danger. In that case, abandon your efforts and make a smooth exit. Don't try to engage in any conversation with people. Just act casual. Oh and your name in the club will be Hwang Nayeon."

"Once we identify any one of Jinki's clients," he said, taking out a small recorder and handed it to her. "We'll put this on him or her. I have one and you have one. Whoever amongst us is near a client, will put this on them. Got it?"

"Understood," Sunye nodded. She increased her pace and walked ahead of him. Taking out the speaker, she was surprised to see how small it was. In fact, if she put it on her ear, people would not notice it unless they stood too close. She hid it behind a veil of blue hair and headed towards the strip club.

A guard stopped her upon entry.

"Name?"

Sunye took out her ID and stated, "Hwang Nayeon. The manager hired me last night."

The guard had a laptop in front of him. He searched for the name on their system and it popped up. Checking the information, he gave her the employee pass card.

"Go in," he said gruffly. Sunye strutted through the employee entrance where she was met by another server. 

"Stripper?" the server asked.

"Waitress," she said in a clear tone.

"Grab your uniform from the laundry and start working then!" the server ordered. She showed Sunye towards the laundry. Sunye braced herself and walked towards the laundry where the attendant gave her a leather corset with a matching skirt. It was a tight bodice and Sunye tried not to wince at the outfit. SD was going to face an early christmas once he saw her in this!

Then an idea hit her. Maybe she might have some fun with that outfit after all…

SD entered the club and walked towards the bar. His eyes scanned for Jinki who sat a few meters away with the Mickey Mouse pimp. They were ogling at the girls who were dancing in front of them. A red head swayed towards them. She bent and pushed her butt towards Jinki who spanked it and laughed. He took out a wad of notes and shoved it in her panties. The girl winked and went on to dance for other guests.

"If only Sunye danced like that for me," SD lamented. "Or better, spanked me like that. Ahh the wasted potential…"

"Stop fantasizing, creep!" her angry mutter came through his speaker.

"A man should never give up," he smirked, picking up a beer from a brunette server who winked at him in a sexy way. He grinned back and put a few dollars on her tray. 

The club was going on in full swing even during the day. Weekends were probably very profitable for the strippers because a lot of the men came to that place under the guise of outdoor chores or hangout with friends. The walls were painted a dark maroon color while red and green smokes filled the club. A dance floor was placed in the middle and a pole was attached to it. A small starway led to the more private bars for a full session with the ladies.

SD looked at Jinki who was now enjoying a lap dance from a green haired chick. He was touching the girl inappropriately and despite her obvious discomfort, she could not stop him. It was against the rules to touch the women and anyone caught doing that would be banned. 

But the servers walked past them, not paying any heed to Jinki's actions. Either they did not care or were ordered not to care. 

He watched carefully as Jinki slipped some cash in the girl's cleavage before letting her go. He whispered something into the pimp's ears who ushered at one of the servers. The server nodded and led the girl into a private room. SD expected Jinki to go there as well but to his slight surprise, Jinki remained in his spot, enjoying the pole dances.

"VIP room number 10," SD muttered. "He sent a girl there but didn't go himself."

"He might have slipped something in her cleavage," Sunye's voice came from the other end. SD glanced at his surroundings. Where was Sunye? Did she see Jinki with the girl?

From the corner of his eye, he noticed a blue haired server walking up to Jinki and the pimp who were engaged in another dance. SD almost lost his composure upon seeing her.

Sunye? Are my fantasies coming true? He wondered. 

Her leather corset was perfectly highlighting her voluptuous figure. She even wore the skirt shorter than needed to blend in with the atmosphere. Her poker faced expression exuded her cold beauty and she strutted with a cool confidence as if she belonged there.

From afar, Sunye could feel SD's sly eyes on her even though she was not looking his way. For some reason, she felt good having that control over him. He was clearly being tormented at the sight of her and if it was anywhere else, he would have banged himself in the head pretty hard for inflicting this torture upon himself. And Sunye was not going to make it easy for him.

She confidently walked towards Jinki and his pimp who whistled upon seeing her sight. 

"Who's this beauty?" Jinki smirked.

"A new server," she replied with a cool smile. "Beer?"

She offered them drinks which they took quite excitedly. "If only servers would give us a lap!" Jinki laughed and tried to spank her but Sunye was fast. She coyly stepped aside, a grin playing on her lips to tease him.

"I'm only for the VIP guests," she smirked. "This ass is expensive, hun."

She heard a low curse through her speaker and grinned. Time to make this mission more interesting.
