The sky had turned into a beautiful mix of red and midnight blue by the time they arrived at a very discreet club "Jaya Joget?" Jade tilted her head. "It's a famous place for sex trafficking I heard...", Mark said. Louise heads in leaving both of them behind. Jade runs off to catch up to Louise while Mark gives his best 'GTA' stripper walk, trying to blend in.
Upon entering, Jade seems to be disturbed by the loud sound and flashing lights, she couldn't help but frown. Lousie leans in her ear, "Find anyone you recognize from the video.” As soon as Louise said that, Mark walked off towards the bar. He noticed some pretty ladies drinking by themselves and decided to make some quick conversation. Louise goes after him and smacks his head, "Don't take your eyes off her, follow her."
Mark let out a yelp "Ouch, I know don't worry...", he said while rubbing his head.
As Louise walked toward the bars, he noticed a familiar bowl-cut guy talking with someone, 'that's him...' He grabbed the guy's shoulder which made the man choke on his drink. When he turned around, Louise was already dragging him by the collar. Mark's attention averted to Louise who is heading towards the back and following him. Jade heads to the VIP sections, they didn't limit the area so she decided to wander there. She saw a bunch of geezers being accompanied by ladies pouring them drinks and all of that made her even more annoyed aside from the loud music.
Her adventures were cut short by some group of men standing in her way "Are you lost baby girl?"
"What the fuck did you just call me?", her brow furrowed and her mouth resemble a hissing cat. "So feisty...don't be so mad baby girl, I can calm you down", he said while rubbing her shoulder up and down. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME YOU FUCKERS,” Jade yelled loudly before smacking his hand off her and tried to run away but he grabbed Jade's wrist and dragged her into a room helped by a couple of guys. Jade was thrown on the table which made her hit her head and her hip.
When she tried to run away, mens who were surrounding the table grabbed her body part and pinned her down. Jade wasn’t backing down so she vigorously swayed her limbs and scratched anyone she could, acting like a wild animal. The guy who bought her there caressed her cheeks while saying some sweet slimy words like, "calm down baby-". Jade spat on his face which made him irritated, he wiped spit using her clothes and grabbed her hair. She screamed in pain so he grabbed her chin and forcefully kissed her.
'Bang!’
The sound of crates breaking from Louise throws the bowl-cut boy at the alleyway behind the club, he whimpers in pain "please, let me go...what do you want from me"
"Where Layla..." Louise stepped on the guy's face, and pressed it hard until he screamed, "I don't know who that is, I swear!"
Louise took his phone out and showed a picture of his sister, "Seems familiar?" The guy nervously looked at Louise, his mouth trembling, "I swear I don't know-" Louise kicked his jaw, and with no time to recover he grabbed his neck and punched him several times. 'that guy might end up dead if he continues...' Mark thought as he painfully watched all of this happen, "Yo Louise stop it already..." Louise ignored him and still kept going.
When he reached his end, the guy finally opened his mouth. "please... please! stop it... I'll tell you everything you want, just stop it...". The guy coughs up blood and gasps for air. Louise grabbed his cheek and made the guy whimper harder "Where is she?"
The guy was trying to talk but ended up coughing on Louise's face, he wiped it off and kicked his stomach. Seeing the guy's pathetic attempt to talk made Louise impatient even more "TALK DAMMIT" Louise kicked on his stomach more and more until Mark pulled him away. He threw up blood and finally formed a word; "She...she's dead!"
Louise is in disbelief, his entire body froze upon the word, 'that can't be… she can't be dead'. He kept staring at the ground trying to put everything together, he formed a fist "What do you mean she's dead?!" He looked straight at the boy's soul, gritting his teeth in anger.
That boy stuttered seeing Louise's fierce expression. "W-we were ordered to kill her and use her body for smuggling drugs after we played with her…" Louise kicked his stomach, and when the boy shields with his hand, he kicked his head, leg, and back instead. "tell me…WHO TOLD YOU TO DO THIS!". He kept going at him until he utter the name he despised; "Leo ordered us!".
Louise stopped, panting after holding his breath and tears the entire time. He pulled his hair back and told the boy to go, and he immediately ran away as fast as he could. Louise steps back until his back hits a wall, he falls to the ground and covers his face 'Why her? She didn't do anything, it should be me in her place…' Louise looked at the sky, washing his eyes with the pure moonlight looking for a glimpse of hope that she was still alive. He felt hopeless, he tried to deny her death but he couldn't, he tried to delude himself but somewhere in his heart, he had a feeling his last blood relation had left him alone. Mark pat Louise's head while looking at the same thing, Louise talks under his shaky breath "... I'll fucking kill him"
The grip on his heart was tight, he flashed through all the memories he had with Layla "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, Layla... I've failed you." Droplets of tears damped the harsh tar as he let all his sorrows out.
"Don't beat yourself buddy, you were an amazing brother" Mark comforted.
Louise wiped his tears and look Mark in the eyes "you're just saying things"
"I meant what I said" Mark sighs, "Well, we got what we came for…one way or the other", he smiled at Louise "Let's go fetch that girl.”
It dawned on Louise when he realised another terrible thing might’ve happened, Mark is the variable of his new found worries, “what do you mean fetch? Where's Jade,” Louise grabbed Mark’s collar while grinding his teeth, trying to contain some anger. At the end of Louise's hand, Mark was shocked by his sudden change of mood and he tried to blow the situation down, “woah easy Louise hahah… she’s fine don’t worry, i'm more worried about you”
“I can take care of myself, you letting her go was the same as feeding the fucking lion. She’s supposed to be a bait, not a damn food!”
As soon as Louise let go, Mark quickly catches his breath, “chill, that girl can put up a fight more than she seems”
“…I hope you’re fucking right.” They head back inside after fixing their clothes, they decide to split up so they can find Jade faster in that hectic club. Louise saw someone who had a similar figure and clothes to Jade, he tapped her shoulder only to find out it was a random girl. Mark asked people around, explaining her features to know if anyone had seen her. At this point, both of them have reached the same conclusion; 'Jade is gone'.
While in the private room, Jade is being held onto the table and her mouth is being covered with tape. She let a waterfall out of her eyes while desperately screaming for help
