GREEN 2 Chapter One

The huge man coiled his arms around Clover like a snake coiling around its prey and began to squeeze the life out of her.  
"This is what women get for playing with monsters" said the huge man.
"And you'll get your brains blown out of you don't release my friend" said Amber Forest as she pointed her Glock at the hulk of a man.
"Do you know what will happen if you kill me?" asked the man.
"Nothing but you do know what will happen to you if you don't release Clover" said Amber.
The huge man let go of his hold on Clover and dropped her on her feet.
"That's a good little monster.  Now step away from Clover.  Do as I say and you want get shot" said Amber Forest.
The large man took three big side steps and moved to his right.
"Good tell your sister Ivy to pay me my money.  Clover walk over to me" said Amber Forest.  
Clover strutted over to Amber Forest.  Clover looked at the large man and said
"This is what monsters get for playing with women."
"And the next time Ivy try to muscle her way out of paying me my money bad things will happen" said Amber.
"We'll talk later Amber" said the large man.
The monster of a man got into his car and pulled off.
"I can't believe he pulled that stunt on me at the Emerald Lady.  My own night club" said Amber Forest.
"Ivy must be in hard times.  Using her brother to solve her money issues says a lot" said Clover.
As the two women stood in the parking lot of the Emerald Lady an old school 1970's Cadillac pulls up besides the two women.
"Hello Amber how's business?" asked the driver of the Cadillac.
"Edward Davis why you're not at Club Envy?  Your own club" said Amber Forest.
"I just wanted to stop by and celebrate the success of the Emerald Lady" said Edward Davis.
"Yeah I bet" said Amber Forest.
"Any time you need to make some extra money there's a pole at Club Envy with your name on it" said Edward Davis.
"No thank you Davis.  The Emerald Lady only accepts paying customers" said Amber Forest.
"Ha, ha, now you got jokes" said Edward Davis.
Davis pulled out a crisp $20 bill, reached out his widow and handed it to Amber Forest.  Edward Davis backed into a parking spot and got out of his car.  He followed Amber and Clover into the Emerald Lady.
"Wow Amber I'm impressed.  You got a nice size crowd" said Edward Davis.
"All my hard work paid off.  Would you care for a drink?" said Amber Forest.  
"No to tell you the truth I need to speak with you" said Davis.
"We can talk in my office" said Amber.
As the three sat in Amber forest' s office Edward Davis told her what was troubling him.
"I'm going out of town for a while.  I need get out of Green Haven.  I'm in a sticky situation with the police.  A lot of the police in Green Haven are corrupt but you already know that being who you are.  With you being the new leader of the Black Crime Syndicate you know what type of officers I'm dealing with.  I want you to keep an eye on my club for me."
"Sure Davis anything for a friend.  How long do you plan to stay out of town?"
"For a month."
"Why are the police interested in you for?" asked Amber Forest.
"Why ask a question you already know the answer to?" said Edward Davis.
"Prostitution, they're trying to bust you for running a prostitution ring" said Amber Forest.
"Yeah I closed the club down.  Me and Sin are going up north for a while.  I just need you to watch my club for me."
"Sure like I said before anything for a friend."
"You might want to watch your step in Green Haven.  Things are about to get crazy.  Amber as your friend I'm telling you to keep your eyes opened.  Thank you for your hospitality but it's time for me to go."
"I'll walk you out.  Clover after I see Davis out I'm leaving.  I need you to run the Emerald Lady while I'm gone.  I won't be back tonight.  Lock everything up at closing time."
"Yeah Amber sure" said Clover.
Amber and Davis made their way to the parking lot and said their goodbyes.  That's odd.  There's a lot of officers that buy sex from the girls at Club Envy thought Amber Forest as she got behind the wheel of her VolksWagon Jetta.  As Amber drove home she questioned why Ivy would send her brother to the Emerald Lady to handle such a small debt.
