Lana and Liam looked around and subtly checked for any hidden camera or bugs inside the room, including the bathroom, but there was nothing.

As they thought, the club people were not stupid enough to install such since any recording could be an evidence of their prostitution or anything that could be illegal.

Soon, a young woman with a beautiful smile entered.

“Hello handsomes… Ohhh so good looking…” she mumbled as soon as her eyes landed on Liam.

Lana’s face twitched as she mumbled, “So you are ready to have fun with two of us together and you are doing this all for only earning money. How about I give you a huge amount of money, ten times what we will pay you tonight, and you just have to give me a little information about someone?”

The women’s eyebrows creased. She looked at Lana and whispered, “are you perhaps from the police?”

“No… We are not and be rest assured we will not entangle you in any case.” Liam interrupted.

“But we just want to get some information about one of your regular customers, because we heard he often takes you out… even out of this club…”

“Who are you referring to?” Zayn asked, her eyes glittering, as the greed of that amount of money was already reflecting in her eyes and she wanted that money at any cost!

“Doug Ming.” Liam answered and Zayn’s eyebrows creased hearing his name. Doug was indeed her regular customer. She liked the man since he was generous in tipping her with a good amount of money and taking her out on expensive dinners sometimes as well. She was enjoying his company before as well since he was robust unlike her other old boring customers of his age.

“What about Doug?” Zayn asked.

“We just want to know about his lifestyle. Where the two of you often went as he had been seeing you almost everyday for a few months and you had spent many of your nights in his house also. You must be very much aware of his likes, hobbies and even his temperament… and we want to know whatever and how much ever that you know about him, everything that you can tell us about him.” Liam encouraged, hoping the woman would cooperate well.

Zayn contemplated for a while and didn’t understand why they were asking about Doug so much. She knew Doug had some grey shades in his life. She witnessed his extreme psychological burst outs a number of times and because of that she was laying low in seeing him and going out with him anymore.

She was a p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e who would sell her body to earn money. But her conscience was still not dead. After watching the dark side of his personality, she decided to keep a safe distance from him and stopped going out for dinners and at his residence.

Zayn looked at the two of them and asked, “May I know what this investigation is all about? Are you two trying to frame him for something?”

Lana shook her head and replied, “No. actually he had framed an innocent young girl and we simply want to save that girl from death penalty. We have some proofs in hand and only a few loopholes are to be filled and this is why we are asking you about all this.

We have evidence that he is involved in the murder of his nephew and then framing his newlywed wife for the murder. So you now have this opportunity to lend a hand in helping her get justice.”

Zayn heard Lana’s words. She nodded her head and started speaking, “Doug loves gambling and giving away money. I guess he has plenty of it…”

“How about when you’re with him. Did you overhear something while he was talking on the phone or did you witness him fighting with someone or anything that you witnessed that was suspicious in any way at all?” Lana pondered.

“Are you sure that I will not get in any kind of trouble?” Zayn whispered.

“Of course you won’t. Whatever it is that we will talk about inside this room tonight, will never be leaked with your name. That way you’ll be safe and will be able to receive a lot of money in return. Don’t mention to Doug about tonight and you’ll be safe…” Lana explained.

“I overheard his phone conversations a few times… It looked like he had lost a very huge amount in gambling and was under a huge debt. When I went out with him a few more times, he started getting more and more irritable and aggressive in his attitude.

He… he even hit me in his angry state a few times. That was when I stopped going out with him. Yes, and I also remember, once he was in a very good mood after having s.e.x at his place and was also quite drunk, that night he mentioned about getting a large amount of money very soon.

He then blabbered a lot about those people to whom he owed the money and was very arrogantly talking about throwing the money on their faces to pay all those people who were bugging and harassing him.” Zayn recalled.

She still could remember that time since it was after a long time that he was happy and not irritable around her. He was usually calm and soft-spoken when he first started visiting her but later because of his gambling, he was laden heavily with loans and the loan sharks were the worst news for anyone who had no resources to pay the money back. After he realised what he had stepped into, he started losing his rational mind and becoming aggressive.

“Oh, there’s this one time… we were going out for dinner into a restaurant and he stopped at a secluded place in between which was surrounded by some dangerous looking men… Just by looking at those men and watching the place from outside, I could tell that they are from an underworld gang.

I think he met them that day in connection with his debts. I just couldn’t hear their conversation since he left me inside the car and went alone inside to talk to their boss probably.”

“Do you remember the address of that place?” Lana asked, Zayn nodded and readily gave them details whatever she could remember.

‘Bingo!’ Lana and Liam cheered in a silent chorus as their eyes met.

“So you’re a woman in disguise as a third gender, huh? Your disguise is such a flop honey” Zayn asked with curiosity.

“How do you know?” Lana plainly asked.

Zayn chuckled and candidly uttered, “Well, you are looking at me as if you will kill me whenever I look at him…”

Lana’s nostrils were indeed flaring in irritation because she noticed the flirtatious stares the woman Zayn was giving to Liam. Zayn’s eyes were silently saying ‘fu*k me’ directed at Liam.

‘F*ck off!’ Lana wanted to slap back at Zayn’s face but then she knew she was being too possessive since she had no way to prevent everyone’s hungry eyes preying on Liam. But if possible, she would poke all those eyes out! She shook her head and tried her best to clean her thoughts..
