Chapter 445 - Spirit Pavilion (6)

Down at the bar, Roxy saw Ginny return with an empty tray and showed a victorious smile to Priscilla and Tim. "We got them!"

Three of them celebrated with a round of drinks after which Roxy went to the security room to check status of the drinks in front of White brothers.

Tim and Priscilla waited for her at the bar, each busy with their own thing.

Tim was looking at some babes who were lingering next to him at the bar, obviously longer than necessary. He was tempted to make his move, but Priscilla's presence reminded him why he is there, so he held himself back.

Priscilla had difficulty forgetting what she saw on the lower floor. Her mind was wondering into that direction, remembering Roxy's brother and how he enjoyed in that jacuzzi.

Roxy returned sometime later with a complex expression.

"How is it?" Tim asked impatiently. He was not happy that he needed to pass on those babes earlier at the bar, because he is waiting for his chance with ladies in that VIP room.

Roxy was in thoughts and spoke absentmindedly. "I'm not sure. They are drinking… but I can't tell if they are drinking from the bottles I sent."

What Roxy does not know is that Sarah got Eve to play a loop on the security camera which is recording their room. Instead of showing current state of the room, camera is replaying a three minute long loop from before Ginny got them spiked drinks. With number of bottles on their tables, Roxy could not tell which ones are which, or if her drinks arrived yet or not.

"Let's wait a bit more before we make our move, just to make sure." Roxanne decided, and Priscilla and Tim had no other choice than to agree with her.

Priscilla's mind was repeatedly wondering to the lower floor. She was remembering the scene of William in a jacuzzi. Somehow, that picture refused to fade from her mind. Priscilla had to remind herself to focus. She is going to snatch younger White brother, whatever his name is. And he is handsome and rich. That is enough. But no matter how much she forcefully concentrated on Aiden, image of William in the jacuzzi was resurfacing and she wondered what William is doing now. Is he still in that jacuzzi?

Not long after, Roxy announced that they can head to the VIP room after they finish with their current drinks.

"Uhm… I'm going to the restroom." Priscilla excused herself.

"Now?! What a timing!" Roxy was obviously displeased. "Now we have to wait for you!"

"Don't wait for me… it might take a while. I will join you when I'm done.", Priscilla mumbled and swiftly left.

"Ewww…" Roxy grimaced. "That is too much information!" She assumed that Priscilla is going to defecate.

"Should we wait for her?" Tim asked.

Roxy scowled. She didn't like that Raj left and now Priscilla left as well. "Let's wait a bit. We can have another drink, no rush."

…

In the VIP room, they finished watching recordings from the security room and from the lower level. The understanding was clear that Roxy is plotting against them and her focus is on Jeff. Priscilla has her eyes set on Aiden, while Tim is interested in both Sarah and JoAnna. Other people involved are Raj who left, (on time) and from the staff Ginny and the bartender. Bartender does not know whose drinks he spiked, but he had no problems doing it. And Ginny was aware that last round of drinks she brought was tampered with. Another accomplice is William, who knows that his sisters is after Jeff and Aiden and he didn't stop her.

Jeff, JoAnna, Aiden and Sarah had matching dark expressions. It's not easy to know that someone wants to use you for their own selfish reasons, because they don't care about anything and anyone other than themselves.

Sarah snapped out of it first. She loudly clapped, which got other three startled. "OK! Now we know who and why… Let's make a plan. How do we deal with this? The Roxy character seems to think that we are enjoying our drinks, she went twice to check surveillance footage since Ginny delivered last round. I can assume that she will come up personally when she thinks that we are under the influence of whatever they put in the drinks. What after that?"

"I will take care of her." JoAnna spoke with a firm tone. Roxy was after Jeff. JoAnna will teach her a lesson.

"If she comes with anyone else, I will take care of them." Aiden volunteered. He flexed his fingers while thinking about Tim.

"But if that Prissy comes", Sarah was referring to Priscilla, "she is mine!"

Aiden nodded in agreement.

"Do you have your laptops?" Jeff looked at Sarah and Aiden.

"Always." Sarah smiled. "They are in the car."

Jeff made a phone call and asked driver to bring the bag with laptops to the VIP room. It was all done swiftly, and within few minutes Aiden and Sarah had their laptops in front of them and waited to hear what Jeff has in mind.

Jeff took a deep breath before speaking, as if this is difficult for him to do. "William Carter, Roxanne Carter. Empty all of their accounts. Cancel all their cards and credits. Find all assets on their name and remove them from titles."

"Where should the money go?" Sarah asked.

"It does not matter." Jeff shook his head and stood next to the glass railing, looking down. JoAnna came next to him and he pulled her into a tight hug.

Jeff was disappointed that a person he considered friend does not care if someone plots against him and his family. William knew that his sister has bad intentions toward Jeff and Aiden. William was supposed to stop his sister, or to warn Jeff. And not to leave it like this, like he does not know anything.

Jeff could not help but think what would happen if Sarah didn't notice oddity of Roxy sending drinks which alerted JoAnna, so she caught that drinks were tampered with? Probably the first round of cocktails that Ginny brought was spiked as well. If girls didn't catch that, what would happen?

Jeff can't bear thinking of being with another woman. Even if he is drugged, by morning drugs would wear off… how could he live knowing that he touched any other woman, and that hurt JoAnna? And what if she was drugged? And another man has his way with her? In front of Jeff?!! He felt that it was difficult to breathe. All the absurdity of people who don't understand importance of love and real connection between two people enraged him. If Roxy's plan succeeded, she would not only break up two couples. She would destroy four lives. It's one thing to be ignorant. But to try to separate couples just because you feel like it? How reckless is that! And how unfortunate for them to plot against him and his loved ones.

Jeff held JoAnna tightly, not willing to let go. He needed her closeness to subdue rage that was boiling inside and threatening to consume him. And she granted it. JoAnna's hands were around Jeff's torso, holding him tight and telling him that she is not going anywhere.

With help from Eve, Aiden and Sarah completed their tasks within minutes. It is terrifying how quickly those two can wipe off finances and assets of any person. They emptied business accounts for the Spirit Pavilion Nightclub as well.

"What's up with Jeff?" Sarah whispered to Aiden.

"William is his friend from high school." Aiden whispered back.

"Oh…" Sarah looked at Jeff with deep understanding of how it feels when people you considered friends betray you. She felt like giving him a comforting hug but gave up on that idea because JoAnna was hugging him already.

…

Down at the bar, Roxy and Tim noticed Jeff and JoAnna locked into an embrace in the VIP room.

Roxy's eyes lit up. "It's working… look, they can't keep their hands to themselves." She glanced toward back. "Where is Priscilla?! Why is she taking so long?!!"

"I don't think we should wait much more." Tim suggested. He was eager to go up and see two babes up close. And not just see them, but to do more, much more than that. His heart was racing, and he felt that he is drooling a bit. He licked corners of his lips. He knows that VIP room is furnished with a good, comfortable furniture. They don't need to go anywhere. He imagined what all he can do with two babes who are more than willing to serve him. He licked his lips again.

Roxy reluctantly decided. "You are right. Let's go. Priscilla said that she will join us when she is done with her… business."

What Roxy does not know is that Priscilla didn't go to the restroom. She went to the lower level.
