Livin La Vida Loca

Chapter 6


Angelica slowly awoke and sat up as the sun shined through the balcony door. She looked over at the sleeping man next to her. Christ, he was gorgeous, even asleep. She stood up and stretched, feeling a pleasant soreness all over her body. After donning her robe, she stepped out onto the balcony and into the sunshine. She wasn't sure what her feelings were. Last night had been wonderful of course, but she still had broken her rules yet again. How had he even found her? She of course, had wished to see him again, but she knew things were not the same. He was the first and only of her clients she'd ever slept with and it bothered her that she'd broke that rule. She wanted him yes, definately, but she wished it had been under different circumstances. She jumped a little as she heard his voice in her ear....

'Leaving me again, sweet thing?" a light kiss to her neck.

She turned to him and was instantly floored at the sight of him in his jeans and no shirt. She grinned. "No.... I always come out here when I first wake up... to think. It clears my mind."

"Thinking, huh.. about me I suppose.." he said with a cocky grin.

Angelica looked down.. "Sands..come here, sweetie... " and she pulled him to her only to wrap her arms around him and lay her head on his chest. Sands was a bit surprised, but held her against him.

"Something's wrong, I can tell. Want to let me in on the secret?"

"Sands..I.. I'm not sure what to tell you. I've always kept to my rules. In my kind of work, you don't break the rules. You dance the dance, turn them on, get the money, and get out. I'm not a whore. I don't sell my body. Yet, I broke my own rules and gave in... "

"So you're telling me that you feel like a whore becuase we slept together? You didn't break the rules Angel, I did. I touched you first. But that's the way I am. I break the rules to get what I want. And if I remember correctly, you wanted me just as bad. Those looks you kept giving me that first night wasn't all acting, sugarbutt. Believe me, I know the difference. In my type of work, disguises and acting the part are part of the job. True feelings, I can spot in a minute. When you took that dare, you knew what was going to happen, whether or not you'd like to admit it."

Angelica sighed.."But its never happened to me before. I've always been able to put my own feelings aside and do my job. You changed that. Now, every time I do a private dance, its not the same. But its not them I am left thinking about, its you. Ok, I admit it. Yes, I did want you that night, whether I knew for sure we'd end up in bed or not. But that first touch.. changed everything. Last night when you showed up, I wasn't going to hold back, not at all. But then it wasn't the same situation.. how did you find me, by the way?"

Sands grinned. "Well, if my barely touching you to stuff money in your crotch got you that worked up, its no wonder you tied me to the balcony.. As for how I found you..well you're not exactly easy to find, sweetness, but I asked around and the right person came along at the right time and told me where you lived."

Angelica was a bit taken aback by that revalation, but pushed it from her mind.

The problem, is that we've slept together twice now, and we don't even know each other. I know your last name, that's it. You at least know my stage name, what I do and where I live. The only thing we really know..is that its obvious we can't keep our hands off each other whenever we get near each other.." she chuckled in spite of herself.

"So that's it? We're practically strangers that have chemistry? Come on, lets go inside, and I'll tell you what you want to know. Well almost everything. Some things I can't tell you and when you find out why, you'll understand."


They stepped into the house and Angel got them some coffee, bagels and fruit and took it to the den. She started to sit down on the couch, but he pulled her onto his lap.

"Sit right here, Angel.. more comfortable.. " he winked.

Boy, he had no idea exactly what he was doing making her sit there, or maybe he did. She settled down on his lap.

"So tell me Sands.. what is your name? Your real name and what do you do for a living?" she grinned as she took a bite of bagel.

Sands sighed, here goes nothing. "CIA Agent Sheldon Jefferey Sands, that's me.. but truthfully, I prefer just Sands.. savvy?"

Angelica's jaw dropped. "You're a fuckin SPY? In the CIA? That is so damn cool!" She grinned.

Sands had to chuckle.." Yeah, pretty much. But its not so cool sometimes. I am a dangerous man, Angel. I have killed and do kill people if I have to. Its part of the job. Sometimes it even happens if I don't have to. Goes with the territory. I can't tell you what kinds of cases I work on becuase they are top secret. Just know that if one day you never see me again, it may be becuase whomever I was after got me first. Its a dangerous job, but I wouldn't have it any other way."

"So now I guess you'll have to kill me becuase I know you're a spy, right?" she said, half joking.

"You watch too many Bond movies, sugarbutt.."He said, rolling his eyes and laughing... "No, I won't have to kill you, but you will need to watch yourself. If people see you with me, they'll try and use you to get to me."

"I see. Well, I suppose I'll have to keep that pistol handy after all.. oh, and I prefer Austin Powers to James Bond, doll.." she winked.

"Oh, behave, baby.." he said in his best imitation of Austin Powers and then kissed her playfully.

Angelica caught her breath and grinned. "Sands, you really gotta stop kissing me if you want me to stay focused on this ..."

"Why's that, sweet thing?"

"Becuase every time you do, it takes me a minute to be able to think coherently again.." she admitted.

"Hmm, really?"

"Yes, besides the fact I am sitting on your lap and if I recall, I got myself in quite a heated situation last time I did this.." she chuckled.

Sands looked at her and then kissed her again. This time it was hot and passionate and made her melt, she moaned softly into his mouth. He broke the kiss.."Yeah, but you loved it.."

Angel had to once again come to her senses.." Er..yeah..I did..now stop.." she playfully slapped him on the shoulder. that got her another kiss just for telling him to stop. When she opened her eyes that time, he had a self satisfied, cocky grin on his face.

"Ok.. now that I can think straight again..what is it you want to know about me?" she asked, catching her breath. Truthfully, she wanted to kiss that cocky grin right off his sexy mouth.

Sands chuckled.." Well I guess I want to know your name..your real name.." he pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her neck. Angelica felt a throb between her thighs, but did her best to ignore it.

"Angelica.. Angelica Russo. You already know I'm a stripper and where I live, not to mention a few other uh..personal things." she chuckled.

"What made you want to become a stripper? Any why is it that a hot little thing like you isn't taken already?" More kisses to her neck.

"I really got into it for the money..baby, you really got to stop that...."she moaned...

"Stop..what?" more kisses along her neck.

"Teasing me, Sands..I'm trying to be serious here.." she said breathlessly, geez he was driving her crazy.."I..I..um..yeah..I got into it for the money, becuase I couldn't find good pay elsewhere. As for being taken...I've had relationships in the past. Some good, others not... But truthfully, after the last one about a year ago, I just decided maybe it was for the best, considering what I do. But that's changed too. Might as well say you've corrupted me, Agent Sands...becuase no matter who I dance for, its always you I am left thinking about."

Sands grinned as he continued to kiss her neck. The woman was hooked, for damn sure. As much as he wanted her too, he knew it was a bad idea to let her get too close. Last thing he wanted was for her to get hurt or even killed on account of him. What he could do, however, is give her what she wanted whenever they saw each other.

"Well, its hard for me to have relationships too, sweet thing..doing what I do, makes it that way. They try and use the ones closest to you, to get to you. But that does not mean we can't see each other and I can't give you what you want..I'm never in one place for long, but when I decide to stay somewhere for awhile, its Mexico..I have a love affair with this place."

"So you're saying we won't see each other often, then? Damn, baby, I don't know if I can stand not having this..." she ran a hand across his crotch and felt his cock jump.." for long periods of time.." she looked at him saucily.

Sands groaned.." Now, who's teasing? Better watch what you're playing with there, babe, or I'll be forced to bend you over this couch and give it to you nice and hard.."

Angelica moaned at that thought.." What can I say Sands, its an addiction, and believe me, doll, I ain't lookin' for rehab. The only way to relieve it is to do what you do best..."

And with that, she moved to straddle him as she kissed him hotly....


Chapter 7


Angelica sighed as she watched Sands drive away. She could still taste his kiss on her lips. In the midst of some heavy making out on the sofa, his cell phone had rung and try as he might to ignore it, whomever it was, was insistent. He finished dressing and prepared to leave, off on another mission, she supposed. However, he did not leave without giving her a cellphone with instructions to keep it on and charged all the time and not to call him, he'd call her. After a long, lingering kiss at her front door, he got into his car and drove away. Now that they knew more about each other, Angelica was beginning to wonder just what there was between them. Were they lovers or was she one of many that he had in various places waiting for him to come into town? She didn't know, but right now, she was content with having him at least sometimes. The hot CIA agent was truly an addiction she couldn't shake. Every kiss, every time he touched her, did things to her that try as she might, she couldn't help but want. She took a shower and got dressed and went to work. She had a few private dances lined up tonight, but she figured that soon she'd hit the clubs again. Dancing in the clubs was a bit less risky,and she loved the risk, but the work wasn't that constant. She sighed and turned off the radio as she pulled up in front of the hotel....

Sands sat in the dusty cantina in Texas, waiting for his contact to show up. He hated it when people were late. The bastard would be lucky if he didn't get a bullet to his brain for his trouble. He was anxious to get the ball rolling on this new mission. He needed to get his mind off of Angel and on his job. He'd seen the wistful look on her face as he drove away. The woman had it bad for him, he could tell. Truth was, he wasn't sure how he was feeling either. He wanted her yes, looked forward to seeing her, definitely. But he couldn't let her get too close. The Torrez brothers were a bunch of nasty fuckers and last thing he wanted was for them to get a hold of her because of him. God knows what they would do to her to get her to talk. Angel of course, knew nothing about his work, but they did not know that. This was his only way of protecting her. Just to see her when he could, but keep it just sex and fun and nothing more. Just then his contact walked in the door a half hour late...

A few weeks later...


Angelica lay on the sofa watching TV after work. It had once again, been about two months since she'd seen or heard from Sands. In the back of her mind, the words he'd said about never seeing him again, nagged. She wouldn't think that way though. Sands was too smart for that, she liked to think. She'd give anything for just a phone call. Just to hear his voice would make her feel better. God, why did she suddenly care so much? She knew why. Whether she liked it or not, she missed him. Missed his kisses, the way he pleasured her body, his cocky sarcasm. She sighed as she flipped through the TV channels. She kept the cellphone on her or near her at all times and looked down at it with a glare. Suddenly it rang, startling her. She flipped it open to answer it.

"Well, hello, sugarbutt.."

"Sands!" she tried not to sound too excited or desperate, but the truth was she was both. Excited to hear fm him finally and desperate for his touch.

'Whoa, sounds like someone is bit excited... or is it that you're desperate for me to come give you some?" he chuckled.

She could hear the cute sarcasm in his voice and it made her grin. "Well as a matter of fact... I was just..thinking about you..." she answered silkily.

"Oh yeah? Thinking about what, exactly, sweet cheeks?" He did not miss the heated tone of her voice.

"Ummm...well...I was thinking..about how hot you are...and how much I love the way you kiss me, Sands. It makes me so hot for you, baby..."

Sands grinned. He knew where this was going. " Are you hot for me now, Angel?" his voice took on a serious, lightly seductive tone.

"Mmm..yes.."she barely got out as a throb hit her between her thighs at the sound of his teasing voice. Her hand stole inside her robe to lightly squeeze her breast.

"How hot are you, sweet thing? Tell me..." his voice teased.

" I'm so..mmm.. hot for you..so wet, Sands.. want you..so much..." she barely got out as her hand moved slowly down her stomach.

Sands grinned.." What do you want me to do to you, Angel?" He could feel his cock beginning to grow as she moaned in his ear.

"oooh.." she bit her lip.." I..I want to feel you Sands...mm..feel those beautiful hands all over me.. feel your hot mouth devour mine and your hot tongue all over me...."

"Yeah? Then come here, baby... I'm gonna make you feel real good. Gonna kiss you so hard... just like you like it..."

"Mmmm..yes, Sands..." she moaned as her fingers began to lightly stroke her throbbing core.

Sands grinned as he heard her moan. His cock felt like it was about to burst right through his jeans and he undid them to free it from its tight confines.

" Want me to touch you, Angel? My hands are squeezing those luscious tits of yours while I suck your hard nipples and bite them.. you love that, don't you, sweetness?" his voice was teasing in a sinister way.

"Ooooh..oh my god yes....love it, Sands.. can't get enough.." she moaned as her fingers began to work hard on her aching pussy.

"I bet that sweet little pussy of yours is just aching for my tongue, isn't it? My tongue is sliding down your body.. closer....closer...ah.. there it is.." he chuckled.

"Mmmm..oh, yes, baby..soooo good.." she bit her lip as her fingers worked harder.

"Tastes so good, sweet thing...and that clit of yours is just begging to be sucked..let me suck it for you, Angel...."

"YES...oh god..need to come, baby.... but I want your luscious hard cock inside me.... are you nice and hard for me,Sands?"

"You know it, sugarbutt...want me to fuck you?" he asked as he began to stroke himself..his breath catching. She was so damn hot, even on the phone.

"Mmm..yes...slide that hot, hard cock into my aching pussy, baby... I'm so wet for you. Its so tight, Sands....and hot..you want it, don't you?" God, she was about to explode.

"You know I do...gonna fuck you so hard, Angel, you love it when I do, I know. Pounding you hard, baby. You ready to come? Because I am going to explode..." he barely got out as he stroked himself harder...

"Ohhhhh...oh god...."she moaned into his ear as her orgasm overtook her. Pleasure hit her hard as she came.

"Ah, fuck, Angel!" Sands nearly screamed as he exploded..

All they could hear was each other's panting as they each came down from their orgasm induced high.

"You ok, there, sweetness?" he managed to get out.

"Y-yes.. oh my god.." she panted.. "Thanks baby, I needed that.."

"Anytime, sweet thing..didn't realize you missed me that much..."

"Neither did I, Sands..but it seems I do..." she admitted.

"Well, I'll be around before you know it. Until then...there's always the phone.." she could tell that cocky, self satisfied grin was on his face. "Good night, sweetheart..."

"Good night, Sands..I wish you were holding me.." she said in a low voice.

"I am, sweet cheeks..." he answered and then hung up.

Angelica bit her lip. Sweetheart? That was a new one. She smiled as she fell asleep on the sofa.


Chapter 8


Angelica sighed as she sat at the dressing table, preparing for her dance set. She'd taken to dancing in the clubs again, but mostly in the one she'd first laid eyes on him at. Pepe was always glad to have the woman he called his best dancer come back to the club. She was always glad to show up and make the club and herself some money. She danced night after night for them, always putting on her best show. Always, though, her thoughts were on Sands. It seemed like forever since she'd even heard from him. She didn't know what to think about their situation. Sands made her feel things she hadn't felt before, and truth be told, it scared her a little. She didn't know if she wanted a lover that was hardly ever there. Now, that's not to say it wasn't good when he was there, but it always seemed to go by too quickly and he was gone again. Maybe she was afraid to fall in love again, although Sands did not seem to be jealous of her occupation. She didn't know. All she knew was that if she didn't watch out, he was going to make her fall for him. Hell, maybe he already had. She always fell for the bad boys it seemed, and he seemed to be one of the baddest. She sighed as she made her way to the stage and began her dance. She moved provocatively to the music as she looked out into the crowd, just hoping maybe he'd show up.

"Christ, I need a vacation," Sands muttered to himself as he boarded a plane to Peru. He'd gotten a tip off about his case and was going to check it out. The Marquez' it seemed were doing some smuggling of stolen blue diamonds and illegal weapons. How they were doing it, was what he wanted to find out, as well as seize the goods. It was a dirty job, but somebody had to do it. People would get killed in the process, he knew. Maybe even him. Sands knew he wasn't invincible, but he was smart. The plane touched down and he departed, picked up his car, and made his way to the nearest town. As he parked at the nearest hotel, and got out of the car, it wasn't long before a couple of prostitutes propositioned him. He wasn't interested. Maybe at one time, he would have, but not now. There was only one woman right now that he wanted, and she was in Mexico. As much as he did not want to admit it, she'd hooked him the night she'd been so bold enough to blindfold and tie him to her balcony. He groaned as the memories of that night flooded back. Christ, he needed a drink. He checked in , went to the store next door and picked up some tequila, and went up to his room. Tomorrow, he'd check out his sources. When the sun shown in through the window the next morning, Sands awoke with a hell of a headache. He growled and got up, took a shower and got dressed. Arming himself with plenty of weapons, he set out to check his sources. He found evidence of the heist, but the Torrez' were long gone. He cursed loudly as he dialed a number on his cell phone. Time to take a little vacation.

A week later, Angelica was dancing on stage, when she spotted a very familiar face among the crowd of club regulars. Memories of the first time she saw him suddenly flooded back and she once again, almost stopped in mid dance. The knowing smirk on his face let her know that he was remembering too. She finished her set and rushed back stage and told Pepe it was okay for him to be back where she was. She quickly threw on a shirt on, then grinned when she remembered it was the same shirt she'd worn during that private dance. It hit her at mid thigh and she threw on a pair of shorts under it and made her way outside the dressing rooms to the backstage area. Christ, there he was. A huge smile crept across her face as she ran to him and all but jumped into his arms, her legs going around his waist. Her lips descended on his in a kiss that made them both moan. When the kiss broke, he didn't put her down just yet.


"Uh, you miss me, sweet cheeks?" he asked with a cocky grin.

"You know I damn well did, Sands.." she said breathlessly, "Where the hell have you been for so long?" she kissed him again ..softly this time.

"Working..can't say where..but here I am, back for a little vacation.." he answered as he put her down, but he did not let her go.

"Vacation, huh? Well, you do know you don't have to go get a room this time...." her voice trailed off as she kissed down his neck.

Sands grinned.." No?"

"Nope...you're staying at my house..and you'll be lucky if I let you out of bed for a week...." she said with a saucy wink as she began to kiss him again. Sands walked her backwards until she was up against the wall, the kiss deepening as his hands roamed her body. Angelica moaned softly into his mouth.

Sands broke the kiss, his mouth trailing down her neck.. " A week, huh? Trust me sweet thing, the things I'm going to do to you...will exhaust you so much, you won't want to leave the bed..." he whispered hotly. Angelica moaned.

"Let's get the hell out of here, doll.." she said breathlessly.

They made their way out of the club's back entrance and to her car. Little did they know they were being watched.

The sex was hot and wild that night, because they were so hungry for each other.. Sands pleasured her over and over and she him until the both of them were exhausted. Angelica called Pepe the next day and let him know she wasn't going to be in for about a week. They spent all their time together either in bed, or roaming the streets of Mexico City, laughing and having fun. Sands was really enjoying himself. He knew he was falling for her, but in the back of his mind, the bad idea thoughts still lingered. He had to protect her. Angelica knew she was falling for him too. She hadn't had this much fun in a long time, and she'd been ravenous for him. They roamed the streets by day, and spent their nights in bed, feeding the addiction they had to each other. Neither of them wanted it to end. Angelica knew that it would eventually had to, and it made her sad. She held onto him as if he was going to leave her any second. Just counting down the minutes until he was gone again. She looked up at him and softly kissed him.


" I have to admit I am jealous of your job, SJ..I don't want you to leave..." she said, looking at him. He had the prettiest eyes she'd ever looked into.

"SJ?" he looked at her, raising an eyebrow.

"Er..sorry..its a nick name I kinda came up with..." she giggled.. "I mean as...uh.. familiar as we are with each other, I just can't see calling you by your last name all the time, and since its obvious you hate your name, I figured I'd just use your initials.."

"Ah, well then, I suppose I can dig it.. " he grinned.. " But you know I'll have to eventually leave. Its inevitable, sweets..."

"I know, but that doesn't mean I have to like it... " she whispered as she kissed him. Sands deepened the kiss, rolling her over on her back and pulling her legs up around his waist.....


A lone figure ran from the side yard and up the road to where a car was hidden. Seemed Sands had his mind on everything but them. Rico Torrez laughed to himself as he drove away.


Chapter 9


Angelica wondered where Sands was. The past week had been wonderful, but once again, he'd had to leave. She wanted to go with him. Of course, she knew she couldn't, she was no agent. Then she got an idea. Perhaps she really didn't need to be. Maybe if she could prove to him that she could take care of herself, he'd take her with him. She missed him already. It so happened she knew people who could teach her what she needed to know. The same person who got her the derringer and taught her to shoot it could teach her something more high powered. Her teacher from self defense classes could teach her more advanced martial arts. She already had her throwing dagger and was perfect at hitting anything she aimed at. She picked up her cellphone and made a couple phone calls. Sands was going to meet an entirely different Angel next time he came around.

She trained by day and danced by night, still had bills to pay. She was tired, but what kept her going was thinking about Sands and wondering how impressed he was going to be....or not. She worked hard, target practicing every day with her new AK47 pistol. Her instructor declared that she was nearly a marksman with it. When asked why she wanted something more powerful than her derringer, she'd made up a line about wanting to be more protected. Her teacher at the school was pleased that she wanted to advance in the martial arts and was a sort of mentor to her. He began teaching her her both taekwondo and ninjitsu. She worked hard, hoping it would all pay off. All she could think of was kicking ass along with Sands. She became harder, more determined. People quickly learned she wasn't one to mess with. One night, she'd been walking to her car after work, when some drunk bastard tried to grab her from behind and push her into a darkened alley. Her new instincts kicked in and she flipped him and pressed her boot to his throat...

"Try that again you drunk fuck and I'll kill you!" she said and then walked off while the man lay there, stunned.

She talked to Sands on the phone as much as he was able to call, but he knew nothing of what she was doing. She wanted to keep it that way. Let him be surprised. What did not change, however, was her personality. She was still the same girl who danced at the club and everyone still loved her. Only now, she knew how to take care of herself even better than before. She continued her training, working hard to learn all she wanted. Her shooting instructor and her martial arts teacher were both proud and impressed.


Sands was getting pissed. Evey time he thought he had the Torrez', they slipped through his fingers. Christ, he should have stayed in Mexico longer. At least there, he would have been having more fun than he was here. He got more leads and tip offs about the case, but a lot of them led to no where. People got killed for screwing him over.. that's just the way it was. He missed Angel too. That little senorita had him hooked for sure. Sometimes he wished he could bring her with him. The look she always gave him when he was about to leave, made him just want to tell her to pack her stuff and get in the car. He couldn't risk her life though. Not for him. She was too good for that. Better to see her when he could and keep her safe. At least he knew she was there, waiting for him. He knew she must be getting tired of only seeing him every now and again. He sure couldn't see it though, not after the way she'd greeted him this last time. The woman was all over him and he'd been willing to give her what it was she wanted. As much as Sands wanted to keep it just sex, something told him that if he didn't watch out, it was going to wind up far more than that.


Chapter 10

Emilio and Rico Torrez pulled into the nearest hotel and got some rooms. With them, was Elena, Rico's girlfriend. Several henchman who worked for them also accompanied the brothers. Rico had followed Sands and some woman he was with to where he was assuming was her home. He had watched them go into the house before he left and drove away. They knew she worked at the club where they'd spotted Sands first. Of course, lying low, he had no idea they were there.


"So what's the plan for getting rid of Sands?" Emilio asked, as he took a sip of his drink.

Rico smiled.. "Have to be secretive about it. What I was thinking.. is that maybe Elena could help us."

"Me?" the red haired beauty asked.."What the hell could I do, Rico?"

"Alot, babe. What I want you to do, is get into that club, get hired there as a stripper. Its obvious that its a place that Sands frequents. You lure him out and we get him." Rico smiled as he kissed her forehead.

"So I am to be a decoy then?"

"Exactly. "

"I see..." Elena blushed. She'd never been asked to help before, although she knew she could. She'd do what he said.. "Ok, Rico, whatever you say. I'll try and get in tomorrow."

Angelica noticed the new girl right away when she walked into the dressing room the next night. Most of the girls were brunettes, but this one had red hair. She was pretty and Angelica was sure she would make alot of money for the the club. She sat down in her usual spot and started getting ready. The first set would have more than one of them on stage dancing at one time and it looked as if she'd be dancing along with the new girl. Better introduce herself, she figured.

"Hi, I am Angel..you must be new!"

Elena eyed her.. "Yeah, just started tonight. Name's Elena, nice to meet you.."

They had no more time to talk for their entrance was starting. They went out with a couple other girls and began their show. Angelica, of course, spotted Sands right away and gave him a wink and an enticing roll of her hips. Elena saw him at the same time and danced in front of Angelica, trying to get his attention. Angelica eyed her with a glare and continued dancing. The girl kept getting in her way, and truthfully, it was starting to piss her off.

Sands did not miss the glare in her eyes. He chuckled. Seemed she was jealous that the new girl was trying to get his attention. She needed not be though. Sands had no designs on the pretty red head. She, however, had other ideas. Elena decided if she was going to get Sands attention enough to lure him into the trap, she needed to get closer to him. She went down offstage and to where he was and danced right in front of him, nearly getting on his lap.

"You want some of this privately, baby?" she mouthed at him as she danced.

"No thanks, sugarbutt, got my eyes on another girl..." then he looked past her at Angel on the stage.

Elena moved back on stage. By the time the dance ended, Angelica was fuming. She stormed back stage and right up to the new girl and got right in her face.

"What the fuck were you trying to prove out there?" she said, her eyes blazing.

"What? Is he your boyfriend or something? I was just dancing for him. THought maybe he'd want a private dance." she answered.

"Not boyfriend exactly, but we are close...." Angelica said, still fuming.

"Well, you have nothing to worry about. I am not interested in sex with the men I dance for in clubs. Its just for the money. I actually do have a boyfriend, though he wouldn't be caught dead in a place like this."

Angelica softened just a little, but her eyes were still narrowed. "Yeah, I guess I kinda know what you mean. Who wants to have sex with a drunk, stinky man? And most of them are that way after they've been here a couple hours. I only dance for the money too. I am sorry I blew up at you, but as I said before, he and I are close."


"Ah, right..well time for us to get back to work I suppose."

Later that night, Elena watched Sands and Angel leave together and she cursed. The first time she's asked to help and she doesn't get it right. Rico would be pissed. Oh well. She walked to the car where they were waiting and got in.

"You fucked it up, didn't you..." Rico said as soon as he saw that Sands was not with her.

"Seems so. You were right, baby. He is close with that woman. She said he isn't her boyfriend exactly, but the way she acted and the fact that he turned me down...tells me that she means something to him." she sighed.

"Ok, I am going to give you one more chance. If we can't get him, we can get her. I want you to really buddy up to her tomorrow night. I am going to set up a fake private dance and ask for both of you. When she comes out with you to go do it, we get her. You think you can NOT fuck up this time?" Rico grinned.

"Well I will certainly try...." she answered.

The next night...


Angelica was once again getting ready to dance when Elena came by her once again and apologized. She seemed sincere and Angelica began to talk to her more. As the night went on, Angelica danced her dances and got her money. Then she saw Elena motion her to come to where she was standing. She walked out of the dressing room and to the backstage area.

"Look..I know you don't think much of me, but we do have to work together so let's try to get along, ok? It seems we have been asked for on this one private dance. They want us both."

"They do, huh? Well, I hope they can afford it. Where do we go?" Angelica asked her.

"I was told there is a car waiting outside to take us there..so I guess we better go.." Elena answered.

"Ok, then... " She followed the other girl out to the parking lot .


The Torrez' henchmen watched Elena approach the limo with the woman. She was a looker all right. Elena opened the door and they got in. Angel suddenly felt uneasy.

"Where exactly are we going?" she asked.

She was immediately grabbed by Elena and held by her wrists.

"What the fuck?" she exclaimed as she began to fight, kicking and screaming. Elena was surprisingly strong, but Angelica could feel her grip loosening.

"Dammit, hurry, before she gets loose.." Elena said through gritted teeth as she fought to keep Angelica in her grasp.

A handkerchief laced with ether was placed over Angelica's nose and all went black.
