Chapter 112
Kent climbs out of the second of three cars that take him and his captains to the
meeting. He has shown up in force today, his overblown security force a
deliberate message to Alden. Kent is done being pushed around and will rally his
superior forces to stop
it, if necessary.
Climbing the short few steps into the strip club, Kent remembers
the last time he was here. When he had followed Fay into the Champagne
Room, saw that pig of a man pressing her up against the cocktail table, ready to
do as he pleased with her.
That moment had set his blood on fire. He had acted mostly on instinct that night,
thinking he was helping a pretty young girl who didn’t deserve to be wrapped up
in Dean’s particular brand of sexual depravity.
Little did he know what a diamond he'd found in this rough space.
Kent and his crew enter, heading directly for the back of the club, ignoring the
pounding music and the dancers lighting up the stage. Instead, Kent's crew
works their way towards a back door where one of Kent's security detail is
already waiting.
The security agent nods to Kent, letting him know all is well, so Kent pushes
through the door.

Alden is there already, waiting, as Kent knew he would be. Kent
had delayed deliberately, had let the man wait.
“Lippert,” Alden says, tapping his fingers against the low coffee
table set in front of him that has a spread of food and drinks
already laid upon it. The room was nice, for a strip joint — the
nicest they had. Leather seating ranges around the room with
purple and chrome accents.
Alden has brought his own small crew — certainly fewer than
Kent's numbers. They look around anxiously as Kent's people fill
the room.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting,” Kent says, still standing, looking
down at Alden. Letting him know precisely his place in the
relationship.
Alden sneers at Kent, just a little, his lip twitching with displeasure.
He understands everything Kent's late arrival, his increased
forces, and condescending manner are trying to say to him. And
he doesn't appreciate it.
“Sit down, Kent,” Alden says, leaning back on his chair and
pretending a casual attitude he doesn’t actually feel. “You called this meeting,
pulled me out to this rat's den in the middle of the
day. What is it you want to say.”
Kent does sit, one of his captains pulling over a chair for him.
“I want to know what you're playing at,” Kent says carefully,

“Intimate chats,” Alden says, laughing
lightly, trying to play it off. “It was just
a little barbeque at the beach — they
ended up sitting next to each other,
by chance. These young attractive
people — you know how they always

Kent says nothing, simply narrowing
