Rotten to the Core (9 page)

Billy was the main man, the brains behind most of their business
;
he had the ideas and the nonce to pull stuff off, and he had nice little deals going on all over town, most of it dodgy
:
import, export
,
that kind of thing. Billy always had everything well thought out with all angles covered, so no one would ever catch them out on anything,
he
made sure of that. He was doing well for himself, had invested wisely in lots of properties over the years, and he defin
i
t
e
ly wasn’t short of a bob or two.
 
They were a good team, no-one with any sense fucked with them.

Although
Billy needed to get wasted tonight, he would have avoided Goldie’s at all costs at the moment with everything that had been going on, but he’d heard it was Jay’s night off
.
H
e hadn’t wanted to bump into him just yet, knowing the more he drank the more he knew he wouldn’t be able to resist doing him some damage.
I
f he saw him face
-
to
-
face he’d lose it and fuck his plan up completely.

             
“
How’s things
?” Billy asked Paul
,
as he downed his shot
,
starting
to feel a bit calmer as the liquid warmed the back of his throat and start to take effect.
             
“Things are really good
;
business is booming so I have no complaints
.
”

Paul could see Billy was still on edge, but no harm had been done
.
Although he and his friends were generally okay guys, h
e made a mental note to make sure he kept an eye on this lot tonight. He hadn’t done
much business with them but the
ir
reputation preceded them
;
if you needed a job done then these boys came up with the goods
.
T
here was very little that they couldn’t get hold of
:
motors, guns you name it. Not that Paul was into that sort of thing, but he liked to have contacts.
             
“Good, that’s what I like to
hear,
let
me get you a drink
,
Paul
.
” Billy lent over to the tray of shots.
             
“No thanks, Billy. I don’t drink while I’m working; I like to keep a clear head.”
             
Billy looked at him and smiled
.
“
I
t’s a shame all your men here don’t think that way
,
Paul
;
some people can’t help but indulge themselves
,
even while they are on the job
.”

             
“What do you mean
?”
Paul could sense by Billy’s tone that he had a bee in his bonnet about something,
the
comment
had been
loaded
. H
e was
 
intrigued. Billy obviously thought that he knew something Paul didn’t, and like Billy, Paul liked to know everything where his business was concerned. He was a control freak when it came to his club, he could admit that. Knowledge is power, and therefore he had always made it his business to know everything that was going on around him.
             
“
Y
ou got something you wan
t to
tell me
, Billy
?”
Paul was
getting a bit pissed off with the way this conversation was now going
.
             
“
Y
eah
,
I have as it ha
ppens. Your man on the door, Jay:
 
s
ome of my men have been keeping an eye on him for me
,
and it’s a good job too as it turns out.”
H
e paused for effect, enjoying the look on Paul’s face
,
there was something going down right under his nose that he didn’t
know about
it
.
             
“
G
o on
.
” Paul
had a feeling he should have taken that drink he
ha
d been offered.
             
“He’s a dealer, and
he
dabbles himself
,
I’m told. He’s been using your little club here to build a nice little clientele for himself
.
” Billy watched for a reaction then seeing there was none
,
 
he continued
,
“
C
hina
W
hite? You heard of it
?
R
eal lethal shit it is
.”

Paul felt
as if
he
had
been punched in the chest. He
ha
d heard of
C
hina
W
hite. It was a type of
h
eroin that you could snort
;
a bit like coke, but twice the strength of normal heroin and much more addictive. There had been loads about it in the papers recently; only last week
,
a kid in this area had died whilst using it. If that fucker
Jay
had been selling it to his punters there would be murder. A bit of coke flying around his club
was
one thing, but heroin,
and C
hina
W
hite at that, was a whole different matter. He didn’t want that on his
conscience,
when the shit hit the fan and where drugs like that were concerned it would only be a matter of time.

             
“
W
hy are you telling me this
?
I
t
’s not
like you to be telling tales
,
Billy
;
what
do
you get out of it
?
”
             
“Just think about it for a second, Paul, some young girl in your club snorts some of that shit he’s
throwing about, ODs on it
.
Your
name will be linked to it, and if you lo
s
e this place, where the fuck are we gonna go for a bit of entertainment?”
Billy
laughed now
.
“I’m letting you know Paul,
be
cause you’re a nice bloke, and he’s a fucking waster, simple as
.
”

Paul was trying to take in what he was hearing. He paid Jay to man the door, not to stand there and make a killing off the back of him. He knew that Jay must have been taking the piss out of him and his position at Goldie’s for the entire time he worked here
,
and he knew he would have to make an example of him
.
Paul
wondered who else knew about it, but he was well aware that he could be also doing a bit of Billy’s dirty work for him. There was no way Billy was tipping him off out of the goodness of his heart.

             
“I don’t know what your problem is with Jay, Billy, but I’ll tell you something
,
it’s got fuck all to do with me
!
I appreciate you letting me know about
what he’s doing
in my club and I will be sorting that out myself, make no odds about that
.
”
Paul
got up, nodded
to
the men around the table and walked off.
             
“
Y
ou
’ve
fucking set the cat among the pigeons there
,
Billy mate
,
” laughed Jonny
,
“what do you think he’s go
ing to
do with that snippet of information
?
”
             
“
W
ell
,
let’s just say that we have just taken Jay out of this little scene for starters, he’s go
ing to
have to find somewhere else to sell his gear now, and his go
ing to
have fuck all back up from any of these boys
,
” he looked over to where Paul was now standing deep in conversation with a couple of the security men.

It was a start
,
thought Billy
,
as he looked over to one of the escort girls heading towards him
. She was wearing
a skimpy red miniskirt and tiny bra that barely covered her breasts. Catching his eye, Candice wiggled
over. She was five foot nothing, but stunning, like a tiny doll. What she lacked in height
she made up for with her big
personality.

Billy always paid her well, so she
gave
him all her attention
.
Candice
always made him, like she did with all the others, feel like they were her one and only
.
T
hat’s how she managed to rake in almost double what the other girls earned each night
.
If you made a man feel special,
as if
you
had
been hoping and praying that he would even glance in your direction, made it all about them, they were putty in your hands. She had figured that out early on, it wasn’t rocket science
, and
she couldn’t believe that some of the other girls hadn’t caught on. She was certainly not just a pretty face
.
Candice placed her arms over his shoulders and started kissing his neck
,
whispe
ring
into his ear.
Billy
smiled and then standing up grabbed her small pert arse.
             
“Back in a bit, lads
.
”
Billy
winked
at
Jonny
,
as he strode off with Candice to one of the private booths. Still thinking about how he was going to put Jay in the gutter and how he was going to enjoy every minute
of it,
he
 
closed the booth door behind him
and
grinned at Candice
.
S
he
had
a cracking figure and tits to die for
: she was
the best
-
looking girl in
the club
. He thought she had a thing for him, she always made herself available to him if he was around, always went out of her way to please him.

T
here was no need for small talk. Knowing exactly what Billy like
d
, Candice dropped to her knees
.
She had figured Billy out a long time ago; he had a
girlfriend
that gave him more chat than he could listen to
:
he
liked a bit of light relief now and then.
Billy
felt himself getting hard as she
undid
his belt
.
T
aking his cock in her hot, wet mouth
,
she began teasing him gently
,
licking slowly and then going deeper and deeper down his shaft. He groped her breasts now
,
feeling their
fullness through the tiny silk
bra, she started sucking him harder and faster then, her mouth really wet
. H
e took her long
,
blonde hair in his hands and pulled hard as he came in her mouth, shuddering intensely.
 
After pulling up his trousers, Billy put some notes on the table
.
Wiping her mouth, Candice smiled
;
she knew she was good
.
Billy normally took ages, tonight she
had barely got
started, and he had paid her the usual amount too
:
result.
