Image
Name:

Katherine Valle

Nickname: Kitten, Kat, Katie, Kate
Job: Stripper
Stage Name: Kitten
Age: 19
Sexuality: Bisexual







Image
Height:
5 ft 4

Weight:
110 lbs

Personality:
Katherine is a sweet girl who loves to dance, which is why she actually enjoys stripping. She also enjoys having an audience as long as people know to only look, and not touch....well maybe they can touch, but thats only when she has taken a shine to someone, or just wants to be cuddled. Kat is an affectionate girl and thinks that sitting back, cuddling with someone and watching a good movie is a great way to spend a night, she loves kissing and touching as long as she cares about the person. Her old friends found her weird for it though, and often get defensive when she asks to cuddle or anything like that.

Kat is far from shy. She can fit into almost any crowd with ease. Her emotions rule her, and she doesn't mind the roller coaster. She is always honest with people, even if they dont want to hear it. People should just not ask questions they didnt want answers to.

Her education stops at a 10th grade level so she isn't very smart, and she hates when people point that out or being called stupid. Kat has little fury though, how she deals with issues is to pretend that it never happened, the people that irritate her, they just dont exist to her unless they have to.

History:

Katherine Valle lived a normal life until she was 17 and in the 10th grade. She lived and laughed like any other kid, had friends and was interested and curious about the opposite as well as the same sex, but its not uncommon for people to experiment, especially at such a young age. Everything changed when her mother passed away from cancer. Being the only child and being the child of the milkman she was left alone. Yeah she had relatives, but none she really cared for. Kat decided to drop out of school and get a job. She had her licence and her mothers car so she thought she wouldn't have any problems.

For the next few years she struggled from paycheck to paycheck until she discovered she could dance. After that she decided to become a stripper, they made great money. She bounced around quite a few clubs until she found the Windy City Gentleman's Club and she was hired. After her first strip she loved how she could use her body to gain for herself, and Big Daddy seemed to appreciate that she was unashamed to take it all off, as long as she's paid well enough. Katherine was soon given the stage name "Kitten" because of her youth and newness to the game.

Katherine Valle


Katherine had been sitting at the little cafe since her shift at Windy City had ended, she was new in town and hadn't found herself a place to stay other than a few run down motels. Once the scum that lived there found her at the club, it was time to move on. She knew what she was, and she knew what she wasn't. The word "stripper" did not mean "hooker", no matter how many people thought so.

Sipping her caramel frappe she browsed the wanted ad's on her laptop, her search for a female roommate was becoming hopeless at best. The bells on the door announced a new arrival to the cafe and a break from her boredom...what time was it anyway? A quick look at her pc informed her, 4:30 A.M.. Kat watched the woman walk in. She seemed troubled, and obviously tired, at 4:30 in the morning who in their right mind wouldn't be?

When she pulled out her sketchbook, Kat smiled. Art was an amazing thing, and so diverse. Her dancing is a form of art, and this girl could draw, it seemed, without even speaking, they had something in common besides age. Kat decided to watch her for a while longer before making her move, but that while may just turn into moments, because she already felt like a major creeper, and who likes a creep?

As she drew Skye really wasn't paying at what she was drawing she just let herself go in the moment, not too focused of anything going on around her. She wanted to talk to Frank, she wanted to know who her father was even if her father or mother didnt want her to know. She had a right to know who she shared her genes with. She wasn't six or seven years old anymore, she was seventeen and she could handle knowing whatever or whoever her father was. Over the past couple days she has seen more things that she has ever wished to see, maybe she should just ask her mother again, its been awhile since she asked last.

As she put down her pencil she finally saw what she drew and it made her feel sick to her stomach. The page showed the inside of the Bistro with a guy on the ground and her sitting on the guy and holding a knife over his chest. She drew Tesla off to the side and Cole standing near her. She just couldn't get it out of her mind. She ripped the drawing out of the book, which she never did even of the drawing wasn't good she always kept them to help her get better, she crumpled the piece of paper in her hand and slammed it on the table.

A few tears fell down her cheek as she whispered "why...why..why" she looked around at the deserted cafe, only a few people there. Her grey eyes met another woman's eyes, the woman was watching her and Skye quickly looked away. She felt dirty even though she rubbed her skin raw in the shower, there was still red patches on her hands, arms, and body. She took out her phone and teied dialing Frank's number but there was no answer. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she laid her head ontop of her arms on the table as she tried to fight the tears that wanted to break free.

Kat continued to watch the girl set her pencil down, and she cocked her head to the side as she saw the girl give a shocked reaction to her picture.....she drew it. What on earth would make her give that sort of reaction? After she proceeded to rip the page out and slammed it on the table Kat wondered if she lacked the talent for drawing and just didn't like the work, but the tears that followed wiped the question from her head as she seen her whisper something she didnt quite catch. When her stalkee looked around the cafe and caught her watching her, she turned red and looked away, almost as quickly as she did. Well there goes that one ya freakin creeper. Kat shook her head with the thought. She heard the girl she was watching try to make a call, her sigh must have meant no answer. Her friend was probably sleeping or something.....

Kat braved another glance at the girl, and seeing her with her head down on the table she shut her laptop. Enough was enough. There was something going on with the poor girl and she didnt deserve to be alone right now, even if it was what she wanted. Kat needed to know why she couldn't keep her attention off of her anyways, so she stood and made her way to her table. "Is...this seat taken?" Without waiting for an answer, Kat slid into the seat and placed her laptop on the table, leaving it closed. She had no idea how to continue her futile attempt at a conversation, so she just sat there and thought about putting a hand on her arm. The red blotches told her it wasn't a great idea so she settled for a rather lame "You ok hun?"

She doubted that there would be any real conversation happening this morning, for all she knew this girl thought she was a weird creeper chick with a staring problem.

Skye Keaton

Skye heard footsteps approach her table but she didn't look up, hoping whoever it was just would go away but nothing was going in her favor lately. She heard the chair being pulled back and something be put on the table, hearing the soft sound of a woman speak asking her if the seat was taken but she didn't give any answer. When the woman asked if she was okay she wanted to laugh.

Looking up she saw the blonde woman that was looking at her before now sitting across feom her. She did let out a small painful laugh and wiped her eyes. "Do I look okay to you?" she said with a soft sarcastic tone. Letting out a small sigh she rubbed her forehead and looked down to her drawing pad "sorry...just not had the best last couple of days...thats all". For some reason she just wanted to tell the blonde beauty everything that has happened over the past three days but she knew she couldn't. Her life would be on the line if she did or worse her mothers and she just couldn't let that happen.

Gripping her sketch pad a bit she looked up to the woman "Im Skye" she said with a sound of tiredness to her voice. "If your looking for some good company your probably at the wrong table." She then saw the crumpled up piece of paper that had the gruesome drawing on it right in front of the woman, she stared at it for a few minutes, which may or may have not been taken as her looking at the woman's breasts. She looked bqck down at the sketch pad and wondered if the woman would look at the drawing. Part of her wanted the woman to look at it but another part of her didn't, knowing if the woman did their could be alot of questions that she just wasn't ready to answer and she really was not the best liar.

When she heard Skye's sarcastic answer followed by her apology and short explanation, she looked down with an embarrassed smile "No need to apologize hun, but thats what made me come over I guess....Its no fun to be alone when things suck." After hearing her name and her lack of belief in her company keeping skills Kat let a dull giggle escape her parted lips. "I'm Katherine, but call me Kat, though I'm known in some circles as Kitten or Kitty, and your company is alot better than some of the others I've kept. Some people will tell you mine is the bad company.....but they don't understand my art.....but you might, considering..." Kat reached her hand out to the crumpled paper that Skye had been eyeing, though her shifting eyes wern't always on the paper, Kat didn't mind. She wasn't the only person who had ever eyed her chest. For some reason it gave Kat a sort of satisfaction this time though.

Toying with the crumpled ball she pondered seeing what Skye had so violently disapproved of, but she didn't want to invade her privacy. Instead she decided on asking her some questions about her art, then maybe lead in to her curiosity. She moved her hand from the crumpled ball and rested her hand lightly on the sketchbook. "Can i take a peek?"

As the blonde introduced herself as Katherin, well Kat, she looked up and gave a small smile "its a pleasure to meet you Kat, lately I have been feeling alone even if I am in a group of people, I just don't fit in with them" she obviously meant the people she worked with but she knew Kat wouldn't know who she was talking about and she didn't feel like getting the blonde involved.

When Kat mentioned something about art she gave the blonde a questioning look "what kind of art do you do?" She then watched as Kat reached for the crumpled piece of paper and ahe stiffened a little but relaxed a little when she reached for her sketch pad. She was a bit hesitant about letting Kat look at her sketch pad, she didn't allow just anyone to look at it but something in her made her push the sketch book in front of Kat "they're nothing much, just something I do in my spare time".

In the book there were different sketches, some of her mother working in the garden, some that are just landscape sketches. The recent ones that were farther into the back were sketches of some od the employees of Buca. There was one of Maria and Aurora behind the bar, one of Cole and Suri talking, then there was just one of the inside of Buca. She drew it all by memory and they actually looked pretty accurate.

Kat smiled when she asked her what kind of art she performed, and spoke rather proudly when she said "I'm a dancer, well, an exotic dancer anyways, and it sounds like your in the wrong group then. Friends should be the ones you can let go with, be crazy around and be alright with it." She wasn't sure if this was true for everyone, but the friends she had before she dropped out of high school were always this way. They were tons of fun all the time....it was a shame she had to leave like she did....

When Skye let her look through her sketchbook, she smiled. These were the hart and soul of artists and it was almost a special occasion when they let you look inside, especially when they hardly know the observer, and they almost always underestimate themselves, unless they actually lack talent, are brand new, or are recognized for it, then they tend to be pushy about it. When Skye said her art was nothing special, she responded with "We'll see about that." Giving her a smirk she flipped the cover and peered inside.

Her earlier suspicion proved to be correct when she saw the portraits, just like if a camera was in her hands instead of pencil and paper. "Skye, you got talent. I couldn't have done better with a camera....." Flipping through the pages she was put into awed silence by the details. The picture of the woman in the garden showed the dirt on her hands, a ladybug on a flower.....and the flowers looked so real....the landscape showed birds, almost every leaf on the trees, the reflection on the lake was perfectly symmetrical. The people at the bar were as amazing as the one before it. She kept her eyes on the pages as she asked the question she had been leading to the whole time. "If these are this good then what happened to the crumpled ball on the table.....it would be hard to believe you'd so much as smudge a line..."

Skye looked to Kat as she explained that she was an exotic dancer, this made her give a once over look of the woman in front of her "your very pretty..I bet you have tons of people watching you" she doesn't know where that came from but she blushed and looked down at the table. "They aren't exactly my friends...they are just the people I work for...I don't know how I got into the mess..." she quickly put her hand over mouth and cursed softly as she looked away. Please don't question that...please don't she thought to herself. She suddenly felt a burst of tiredness and her faced showed it, under her eyes were dark and a bit droopy.

As Kat looked at her sketchbook she fiddled with the bottom of her shirt, her right leg bouncing just a little. It took everything in her from grabbing her sketchpad and running out of the place. The woman doesn't even know she is talking to a killer...a murderer. Her eyes blurred with tears and she took a deep breath in then let it out.

As Kat commented on her work a pink tint shaded onto her cheeks and she mumbled a thankyou in a soft voice, her hand running through the ends of her hair nervously. What Kat said next caught her off guard and she became speechless, she eyed the crumpled ball of paper and opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. Her heart started to beat faster then normal, looking at Kat her eyes held a scared look to them. She started to panic, her body started to shake, she didn't know what to do. She was starting to have a break down.

Her eyes went to her only escape, the doorway, which a few people just walked in. She felt like she couldn't breathe, everything was finally catching up with her. She needed air. She looked at Kat once more then bolted out of her seat and out the door, she turned right and then ran into an alleyway which was empty. She crumpled down to her knees as she took short rapid breaths in, she still felt like she was suffocating. She even forgot her sketchpad, bag, and that crumpled piece of paper inside the cafe.

Suri Desmond

As Suri kept the russian dude in a choke hold and her gun to his head she felt something familiar be pushed against her head "ah you got to be fucking kidding me" she muttered out loud. "Okay boys I guess you want to do this the hard way". She moved her gun hand down and was about to reach for the knife in her sleeve when she felt the air get kicked out of her. Her head slammed down against the wood and she took a sharp intake of air.

Once she could think clearly she stood up, her legs a bit wobbily, what she saw made her laugh. Cole was just slamming his fists into the russian dude that was holding Maria. She then looked for the guy that held a gun to her head. This dude was in for it, she didn't give a fuck if she got in trouble. No one holds a gun aginst Suri Desmond's head and gets away with it.

She saw the man laying on the ground, his gun a few feet away from him. She walked over to him and then stood over his body " 'ello handsome" she said sarcastically not giving a damn if he understood or not. She leaned down and gripped the guys shirt and grabbed her extra gun from the back of her pants and held it to his head "so how do you fucking like it? huh? having a gun pushed against your head. I could blow your brains out right here..but..." she brought the gun back and looked at the guy with her different colored eyes, her sunglasses fallen off somewhere when she fell. "I think I would love to have you suffer just a bit.." she heard a car but paid no attention to it. Her mood has went dark and she had some matters to take care of.

She held the gun to the guys right forearm "I got shot in the same place last night, let me tell you...it hurts like a bitch!" She then pulled the trigger of the gun and blasted a hole throught the guys arm point blank. She then did the same thing to his thigh. "That will teach you not to fuck with me". She then got up and walked over to where Maria was, she kneeled down by the woman and checked for a pulse. "Maria..Maria can you hear me sugar?" She pulled off her jacket and put it over Maria's tophalf.

She then heard the words of a cop and she muttered a few swears under her breath "Maria we need to get out of here". Her arm and head was aching but she didn't care, she just knew that they had to leave...soon.

Kat smiled when she said she was pretty "Yeah, they do, and then try to follow me home....thats why I'm here, looking for a roomie. Hard to find one thats a girl and much less one that wouldn't mind taking a stripper in. Half of the population thinks were nasty, the other wants to jump our bones." Kat listened to her, and she knew how it was, the people you work for can rule your life if you weren't careful. "I know how that can be.....how did any of us end up in this mess?"

Kat giggled when she saw Skye blush, then withdrew her hand from the piece of paper when she saw her panic. Guilt rose into her throat when she ran out, leaving everything behind. She sat in shock for a moment more before grabbing her laptop. Sliding it into its case she grabbed Skye's belongings. Around the cafe people were giving her disgusted looks and speaking in hushed tones. Making her feel even worse than before. Kat grabbed the crumpled paper as well as the remnants of their coffee and threw them into the trash. She hurried out of the cafe cursing herself and calling for Skye, though she doubted she would get a response.

Looking up the street she found nothing, but the gasps for air told her that she had escaped to the alley way. Kat hurried to her worried she may have had asthma, worried about her in general. What could have caused such a reaction from the poor girl?

When she reached Skye she sat down what she had been carrying and hugged her, falling to her knees as well, her voice portraying her feelings. "I'm so sorry for freaking you out like that.......is there something you need? Something i can get for you? Help you with? Oh my god I'm such a screw up I'm so sorry.....are you ok?" Pulling out her cell phone she got it ready to dial "Do you need me to call anyone for you? An ambulance? I'm so sorry." She was at a loss for words and felt absolutely horrible for making this girls night even worse when she was looking to help....why did she even have to ask about the paper? She felt like she should have never went over to that table, that she should have just gone home but then again she didn't....but she should have left that paper as it was.....all she knew to do was hug her, but considering she couldn't breathe right she might be messing that up as well....

As Skye struggled for air she felt arms engulph her and she leaned into the arms, finally feeling comfort she hasn't felt in awhile. She felt like everything was spinning and everything was getting dizzy. She didn't know how to answer Kat, didn't know what to say especially when the woman asked her if there was anyone she could call. There was no way she could call her mother, she didn't need her mother getting into this mess, she couldn't call any of her friends because she just couldn't tell them whats going on. The only people she thought of calling was Maria or Aurora but they probably wouldn't want to deal with her.

This observation just made her feel worse "I..I have n..no one" she whispered and knew she probably looked pathetic as hell at the moment. "I was m..made to do something bad....something really bad" she took a sharp intake of breath in "a..and I just d...don't know what to do. If I say anything to anyone they will probably kill me" she whispered the last part.

She took a few moments to just let herself breathe, she was starting to come down from the small panic attack but her body was still shaking. She thought about what Kat said before about needing to find a roomie. Maybe it was time to get her own place, move from under her mothers roof. She had enough money because of her mystery unknown father. Kat's comforting arms were atill wrapped around her "I uh would be willing to be your roommate but we would have to find a place...I uh think its best I move out from my mothers place...especially with what I got into lately". She looked down to the ground in shame and let out a small sigh "thank you by the way...I am sorry you had to see that...I am just a mess right not. My life used to be normal until three days ago, everything has changed".

Suri Desmond

Suri watched as Maria walked off, yelling to her that she check her arm later this evening. She gave a wave as the woman drove off, she was always one to be at Buca's at night. It was like a ritual for her. As she looked at the time she knew she had a few things she needed to take care of before she could go home and clean up. She looked over to Cole and Martin and gave them a wave before she got into her car, she would most likely see them later in the day.

She drove off and went to the bank, she took out a large sum of money and then headed to Wind City. She planned on taking care of Lexi's payment without Lexi. She didn't want the girl to have to go back into the place. She knocked onto the side door where staff were let in. A bouncer opened the door and looked her up and down and the guy grinned and pulled her into a bear hug.

"Suri! Been too long! How are you, what are you doing here so early"

Suri shook here head and squirmed out of the guys arms "Damn Jake, you could of squeezed me to death" she carefully touched her wounded arm and flinched "I need to talk to Jay, is he in?"

Jake nodded "yeah he is in, come in and take a seat at the bar and I will get him for you". As she went inside, Jake left to go find Jay. She took a seat at the bar and waited for Jay to come along. It wasn't a long wait till she heard footsteps behind her. "Suri, Suri, Suri...heard you got one of my best men fired and also took another one of my girls under your wing". Suri smirked as she heard Jay's voice and turned around "well I can't take responsibility for that assholes actions, as for the girl. Shes underage ya know that? Im going to pay for what she owes you and then ypu willbleave her be, got it Jay?" She stood up and held out the bag of money. Jay seemed to ponder this for a few minutes then he took a look into the bag, there was probably more money there then what Lexi owed.

"I usually don't like doing this...but since this is you I will make an exception" Jay then took the money and Suri smirked "good choice buddy, especially when I am the one you get your goods from". She then patted the guys shoulder and walked out of the building, giving Jake a small wave. She got into her car and finally drove home. Once ahe was inside she went and made a new pot of coffee then took a seat at one of the stools that were seated at her kitchen island and let out a small yawn. She wondered if Lexi was awake yet or not, she decided she would wait to check because at the moment she wasn't feeling like getting up.

Kat held onto her, rubbing her back gently as she listened to her fumble out her words, feeling worse and worse as she continued her stammering. What kind of people surrounded this girl? Why would they make her do something "really bad" when she was obviously quite fragile? What could she have done that would make anyone want to kill her? Judging by her previous reaction to her asking about a piece of paper she decided not to question anything Skye was saying......but she would make sure that she had someone to go to, because Kat needed someone too. She had no idea what she would be getting into, and Skye didnt make it sound fun, but if it would help her, Kat was gonna get into it. This poor girl had been through enough alone.

When Skye offered to be her roommate and suggested they get a place, Kat released her, though Skye was still visibly shaking she was beginning to calm down. Taking a seat next to her she gave a small smile. "Its understandable, and being roomies would be great. Be easier to find an apartment or a house even. Seen a few listing while I was browsing....but it might take a few nights and a private session or two to earn up the money for the down payment." When Kat mentioned "private session" she cringed, not many strippers enjoyed the private sessions because people tried to go a little too far....even when blatantly told not to touch. Not much that can be done about it, she learned quickly that the boss man didn't like lawsuits and troublemakers.

"From now on ya got somebody." Kat didnt know what it meant to Skye but she meant what she said.

As Kat let her go and moved to sit beside her Skye looked up to the blonde and smiled just a little when she agreed to be her roommate. "I have enough money for the down payment and everything.." she looked down to her hands as she told the next part "my father has besn putting money into my bank since the day I was born...but I don't know who he is, my morher won't tell me, so I have an investigator looking into it for me." She scratched the back of her neck slightly then looked around "I guess we uh should maybe move out of this alleyway?"

She stood up and grabbed her things and just then her phone buzzed telling her she had a message. "Uh sorry let me just check this real quick". Skye opened the text and read it, glad to finally hear back from Frank, she quickly wrote a message back to the cop.

Well I was applying for jobs and my friend actually had me apply to Buca's, I didn't think I would get in because I had no previous experience but I did. Would you want to meetup sometime today, I know youbsaid you had a few questions before?

When she sent the text she looked to Kat "sorry it was the investigator" she then reached her hand down to help Kat up. "If you need a place to stay while we find a place I have a comfortable couch in my room if you want to stay at my home. My mother wouldn't mind, shes an amazing woman and mostly likely will try to feed you" she then laughed a lottle, her body was shaking less as she tried to get her mind off of the night before.

Kat found it interesting that a man Skye doesn't even know is giving her money. She wondered if he thought he was making up for being absent from her life by paying her. She wasn't sure how she felt about that, but all the same she was glad Skye had a trust fund just in case. Kat couldn't blame her mother though. "Its good you have a trust fund, my mom couldn't afford something like that for me, had a no show father, my mom never said anything about him either. And its cool to know a PI, they can be useful, especially in a case like that. Hope ya find him. Yeah, I was gonna offer to get ya another coffee but I dont think I'd be welcomed back in the cafe without afew words. Where ya wanna go?"

Kat just watched as Skye returned the message from her investigator friend, taking her hand when it was offered she got up and grabbed her laptop. When Skye offered her to stay in her room with her she let out a sigh of relief, Kat hated being alone and hated going back to that motel room even more. "Sure, I'd love to stay with you, if its no bother or anything. When Skye mentioned how her mother would try to feed her she got an exaggerated look of pleasure on her face "A home cooked meal made by a mom. Nothing beats that. My mom made the best food, she was starting to teach me too before she got sick. I miss it."

Looking back to Skye she gave a small smile. The next question would more than likely be what she'd gotten sick from, it always was. "My mom was diagnosed with cancer my freshman year, and they found it too late to help her. She died when I was a Sophomore and I dropped out like a retard and got a job instead of letting the state take care of me. Thought I could do it on my own, but life turned out to be harder than I thought it was. Never went back to school and not many people wanted to hire me, the ones that did, didnt keep me on long. Stripping has been the most stable job I've ever had. Pays great too."

Skye Keaton

"Sounds like we are kind of in the same boat when it comes to our fathers" Skye said as she looked to Kat "I was thinking we could got to my place, my mom will be up soon and probably wil make some breakfast." When Kat explained about her mother Skye put her hand on the girls shoulder "i'm sorry to hear about your mother, my mom tries to teach me how to cook but I always seem to burn things. I bet my mom wouldn't mind teaching you" she said with a smile.

When Kat mentioned stripping she bit her lip and was kind of afraid to ask the blonde but decided she needed to "Uh where exactly so you work?" She really hoped she wouldn't say wind city, that would mean Kat is already pulled into the Occheto business. Anyone she meats they are ties somehow to that famile. She started to look pale once more and she started shaking lightly. "I work at Buca's but not sure how much longer ill be staying.." she still was contiplating quitting but wasn't sure if that was a good idea or not.

She walked out to the sidewalk then turned to look at Kat "do you have your own car or do you need a ride?" If Kat didn't have a car then maybe she could stop at Bucas and pick up her bike and Kat could drive her car. She looked down to her feet and shifted a little as she waited for Kat's answer.

Kat smirked when Skye said they were in the same boat. "Yeah, but mine could be dead and buried for all I care. I remember my mom sayin "The best thing that man ever did for me was give me you." Then shed go off swearing under her breath." When Skye put her hand on her shoulder and said she was sorry about her mom she smiled. "Your place sounds great....so does breakfast, I'm starving. Don't be sorry. If you would have seen her at the end you'd be glad. The cancer got the best of her and she was in a lot of pain. Miss her a ton, but I'm glad she aint hurtin no more."

Kat smiled warmly at Skye, after all these years she was starting to get used to the fact she was gone, but there were still times when she cried for her. "I'm glad she was able to teach me some things though, whenever I miss her bad I jump in the kitchen and make a meal you wouldn't believe, don't taste like when she did it, but its good. I hope your mom will teach me some things too, then I can just cook for you too and we wont have to worry about our place burnin down." Kat bit her tongue between her teeth and gave Skye a wicked grin, something she always did before when teasing one of her friends. She liked how easy Skye could be to get along with.

After Skye asked where she worked, she noticed she began to shake again and mentioned how she may quit her job. Kat wondered why she wanted to quit, but decided not to ask. After they stopped walking, Kat leaned against a building. "I just got a job at Windy City not too long ago. Not so bad really. And yeah, after my mom passed, I inherited her car, its a nice little thing."

Skye Keaton

Skye smiled as she listened to Kat talk about her mother, she wouldn't know what to do if anything happened to her mom. She let out a small laugh when Kat said she would cook so that Skye wouldn't burn anything "ha ha very funny" she stuck her tongue out at Kat. When the girl mentioned that she worked for Wind City she gripped her hands a bit then looked at Kat "promise you will be careful...I work for the same family, the Occhetos, they own Wind City and Bucas....becareful...they aren't exactly the best people to be associated with. I learned that the hard way."

She looked forward "Okay well you can just follow me, im the little white car over there" shs pointed the the car across the street from them. Turning towards Kat once more she went over to the girl ans hugged her and whispered "thankyou" before she turned and walked to her car. She unlocked it and got inside and watched Kat for a few minutes before she lit up a joint. After a few hits she put it out then pulled out of the parking space.

Making sure Kat was behind her she drove through the streets until she got to hers. She pulled into the driveway and parked, gwtting out of her car she leaned against the door as she waited for Kat.

Suri Desmond

Suri put one egg sandwhich on a plate and brought it over to her small kitchen table and placed it down "come sit down and eat hun while its still hot". She smiled at Lexi's ethusiasm of going to work at the tattoo shop. "Well there will be plenty to do, I haven't organized my stuff in weeks. Been too busy." She went back to the stove and started to make her own sandwhich when her phone buzzed. She set down the spatula and pickwd up her phone and read the text from Aurora, ahe smiled lightly and quickly wrote back.

Being productive is good. :) Im currently woeking making egg and cheese sandwhiches for Lexi and I then heading to the tattoo shop for the day. Ill be at Bucas after hours tonight. Maria plans on fixing up my arm and I gotta have my few drinks for the day.

After she sent the text she finished making her sandwhich, putting it on a plate she then went and took a seat across from Lexi and started eating. She was hungry and thinking she actually will probably make another one.

Kat was slightly confused when Skye got so defensive over the fact that she worked with the Occheto family, but then she thought about earlier today, and wondered who exactly it was she was working for. "I promise........and you promise too...and I got the navy malibu right there" She pointed to the car parked by the cafe before Skye hugged her. She heard Skye whisper a thank you and go off to her car. Kat could only giggle as she went to hers.

Opening her door she placed her laptop on the passenger's seat and fished for her keys. Finding them after what seemed like forever she plugged them into the ignition and revved the engine. After Skye pulled out of the parking space, she followed her until she pulled into a driveway, she parked along the curb out of courtesy and grabbed her laptop and keys before stepping out and making her way up the lawn, she saw Skye waiting at the door for her. "Nice place ya got here." Once she was on the porch she gave her joking smile and said "Ya sure your mom won't mind ya bringin a girl like me around for breakfast." She winked waiting for Skye to open the door. It was sad for Kat to admit, but she was excited for a home cooked breakfast.

Skye Keaton

Skye smiled to Kat "my mom won't mind at all, she will just be happy to be able to cook foe another person. She loves to cook". She opened the door and took off her shoes, setting her bag down by the door. She heard noise in the kitchen "Sweetie is that you" her mother called out. "Yes Mami its me, I brought a friend over, think you could make enough for three?" she asked as she walked towards the kitchen, turning to look at Kat to make sure she was following. Her mother looked up and smiled.

"Of course, there is always room at the table for more" she wiped her hands on a towel then walked over to Kat and gave the girl a hug then stepped back. "Im Shannon, you are just liked Skye, you need more food on your bones" she shook her head slightly making a tsking sound then went back to cooking. "Why don't you girls sit in the living room, breakfast will be done soon"

Skye smiled to her mom "Mami is it okay if Kat stays here for a few days, we are actually thinking about getting an apartment together". This made Shannon look up and give her daughter a look. "Are you sure your ready for that Skye? Your only seventeen..and yes your friend can stay". Skye looked to her mom "Yes Mami I am ready" was all she said before she took Kat by the arm and brought her to the living room.

She sat down on the couch and looked to Kat "She can be a bit overprotective but in a good way" she then patted the seat for Kat to join her on the couch.

Suri Desmond

Suri finished her sandwhich before she replied to Lexi "Glad you like it, and your welcome sugar" shen then got up and out her dish in the dishwasher. "Once your finished how about you go get ready, im going to get cleaned up and changed". She then went to her room and stripped out of her clothing then went ot her closet and looked through her clothes until she found an outfit she was satisfied with.

She put the jeans and top on, leaving the leather jacket on her bed, she went to the bathroom and let down her hair. "I really need to re-dye me hair" she muttered as she put it up in a messy up do. Just as she was heading back to her bedroom her cat Faxel jumped up onto the kitchen sink and meowed. "Aww Faxel baby, I haven't give you much attention lately, have I?" She picked up her cat and held him close, giving Faxel a kiss on the nose.

Image

She held him till she got to her bed and set him down on the bed. She then grabbed her jacket and put it on, putting her knives in her boots and a gun in the back of her jeans. "Be a good boy Faxel" she gave the cat another petting, smiling as she heard him purr. She then headed to the front of the house, grabbing her keys and bag, she waited for Lexi.

Maxxie Williams

Maxxie woke up and stretched her arms, she was dressed in just a tshirt and boy shorts. She slowly got out of bed, her body aching slightly, she let out a small groan. She decided she would get Kenz and her something for breakfast instead of making it, because she did notnfeel like cooking. She took a shower letting herself relax in the water for a little while before she got out. She looked at herself in the mirror and frowned slightly. Her body was covered with scars and she was wicked skinny, the doctors said it was probably from one of the meds she was taking, she had to constantly eat but she still had a hard time keeping on the weight. Her finger traced the scar over her heart for a few minutes before she looked away and headed back to her room. She got dressed into jeans and a big tshirt then went out to the kitchen and wrote Kenzie a note.

Hey Kenz I went to go get us some breakfast. Be back soon <3 Maxxie

She left the note on the counter then grabbed her keys, putting on a pair of sneakers she headed out the door. Maxxie knew Kenzie wouldn't be too happy with her because she didn't write where she was going but she was an adult not a child. She got into her jeep wrangler and pulled out of the driveway and onto the road.

A few roads over she drove past Buca's and noticed they had some bakery thing going on. She found a spot to turn around and then parked in Buca's parking lot. She got out of the jeep and walked to the front doors and walked in. She could smell the cooking and her stomach growled just a little. She walked up to the counter and looked over the muffins that were on display and waited for someone to come out and take her order. She knew the place was owned by the Occhetos, she also knew her sister planned on getting a job here, if her sister found out she came here without her she would probably get yelled at but the muffins looked delicious and she wanted to try them.

Katherine Valle


Despite Skye's reassurance, Kat was still nervous. After Skye opened the door and removed her shoes, she did the same out of respect. The warm smells hit her almost instantly and her stomach growled, causing her to turn pink. Kat followed Skye through the house quietly, looking around as she followed until she ended up in the kitchen. The woman standing at the stove was a very pretty woman, no doubt where Skye got her looks, she saw several similarities in the two.

Kat smiled when Shannon said there was room for her at their table, but wasn't expecting to be hugged. The hug actually made her even more nervous, she should have gone back to her room and showered after work instead of heading to the cafe. Kat prayed the smell of coffee would over-rule the smell of the club. This was not the impression she wanted to make on Skye's mother. She didnt want Shannon to doubt the person who Skye would be rooming with. After realizing it had been a moment after Shannon had introduced herself, Kat managed to get "My names Katherine, Katherine Valle, call me Kat." out with a smile. Shannon was quoting her mother as well, she wondered if every parent thought their children were to skinny. The thought made her laugh a little "You sound just like my mother."

She was about to go wander until she found the living room when Skye asked if Kat could room here for awhile and their intentions of getting their own place, when Kat saw the look that Shannon was giving Skye she bit her lip only to smile when she heard that she could. After Skye said that she was ready and yanked her into the living room she let out a breath and sat down next to Skye. "Most patents are when their kid up and tells them they wanna get their own place with a person they just met. Your moms real nice though, I was kinda nervous." Kat gave a half smile and she relaxed herself on the couch "This couch is awesome. I want nice furniture like this....everybody should have nice furniture like this." Looking at Skye she giggled a little, excited about getting an actual place instead of another run down room.


Makenzie Williams


Makenzie woke up when she heard the door to their apartment close, Maxxie left without waking her up again, causing Kenzie to groan and pull the covers over her head, after a moment she heard Maxxie's jeep start and leave. Kenzie couldn't hide in her warm fortress of nice smelling blankets forever, and to prove it she kicked them off the bed as she sat up, and slowly made her way off her bed. She pulled on some comfy pajama pants and a random shirt before making her way out of the room. There was nothing but a piece of paper on the counter, further investigation found Maxxie's handwriting:

Hey Kenz I went to go get us some breakfast. Be back soon <3 Maxxie

Kenzie took the note and stretched out on the couch, wondering if she'd gone far and hoping she didn't go to Buca's, Kenz didn't need Maxxie getting mixed up with them before she got a feel for the Occheto family. Kenzie didn't think she could handle a situation where Maxxie was compromised, and she didn't want to, but Maxxie was too headstrong for that, she just didn't understand....picking up the remote Kenzie turned on their TV, flipping through the channels she waited for her sister to return.


Demitria Lawrence


Demitria just layed there, listening to the buzzing of the bell that signaled it was time for the inmates to leave their cells, they were actually allowed outside today, which really meant that the employees wanted to smoke the cigarettes that they wern't allowed to touch. Torture at its finest. The loud click told her her door was now unlocked, she dressed herself in the clothes she was permitted to wear, jeans and a t-shirt, and made her way out of the room. The best part about this place was the lack of care they took with their patrons, this was not one of those fancy rehabs that people enjoyed, it was a reformed insane asylum, to Demi, it was prison.

As the other drug addicts made their way out into the common area, Dementia looked around the fence, looking for the place she had escaped last time, the small gap in the fence. The institute was too poor to fix it, and as far as Demi knew she was the only one who had used the gap to break out, so there was really no point. The institute was backed up to a small section of woods so once she was out she was gone. The pursuit of the drugs made her anxious as everyone was filed into the yard, and as soon as the guards had their backs turned, she was out.

Demitria made her way through the woods, a trail she had traveled many times before that led to the city. She had to find her fix, her body was starting to shake in anticipation. The only reason she hadn't shriveled up and died in the institute was they gave her pills to relax herself. Her guards learned the first time they couldn't just cut her cold turkey, she needed something to help her stabilize herself, and although they weren't her drug of choice, it helped.

Dealers battled in her head, who was who was starting to become impossible to decipher. She turned down another street and closed her eyes, rainbows of colors flashed behind her eyelids, then she saw hair, it was familiar, not red like her own, but white, and now black too.......then she heard something.....sounded like shhhhhhh........grrrrrrrr........shhhhhgrrrrrr.........then she opened her eyes and she heard it clearer sugar........PULSE!!! She had to find Pulse. Pulse was a dealer and an old friend. She would help her, she had before. There was a tattoo shop that she remembered Pulse running, and it was around here somewhere.

Demi kept walking, or tried to keep walking, the relaxers had stopped working completely by now and she was starting to freak out. She couldn't go much farther. Demi just had to keep going until she found the parlor, then she could stop, but she had no idea where the parlor was, and she forgot where she was......there was an entryway to something, she didn't know what it was but the place wasn't open. She would just sit there for a second to regain herself, just a second to stop the shakes. Making her way up the small stoop she crawled into the dark corner and pulled her legs close to her body. She started to rock back and forth. Just a second. Demi's whole body shook violently. Just a second. Placing her head on her knees her vibrant red hair fell over her legs, hiding her face from what ever was out there. Just.......a....... Demi closed her eyes and waited for the violent shakes to stop, but unless she got a drug soon, she knew it wouldn't.

Little did she know, Demi was curled up right outside Suri's tattoo parlor.

Suri Desmond

Suri was leaning against the door as she waited for Lexi to come out, she looked through her bag that carried some of her drugs. She was craving a fix, she hasn't had one in a couple days because of all the shit thats been going on she hasn't really been able to focus on her own needs. But unfortunately before she could even decide what to take Lexi came out....but not dressed. Suri looked at the skinny girl and quicklynshook her head "Ah come with me, I think I have a few things that you could wear. They might just be a bit big though".

She led Lexi to the spare room and opened the closet "there has to be something in here" she muttered under her breath. She sorted through the clothes and found a small pair of dark jeans and a white tank top and handed them to Lexi "If the jeans are too big there is a belt in the top drawer of the dresser over there" she pointed to the dresser and then went to head out. Before she left the room she turned her head to look at Lexi "ill be in the car waiting, don't dilly dally I have a customer showing up soon". Suri definately did not like showing up late for anything.

Suri went outside to her car and got in, she took a few pills from her bag, wishing she had the time to smoke but she didn't. After taking the pills she lit up a cigarette and smoked while she waited for Lexi. Once Lexi got in the car, Suri smiled and then drove off down the road, it didn't take long for her to get to the parlor. She parked in her usual spot "okay lets go open up shop" she said to Lexi then got out of the car and headed to the front door of the parlor. What she didn't expext was a red haired beauty curled up in front of the door, trambling badly.

"Demi?" she knelt down and put her hands on the girls knees, she knew the signs of withdrawel, she has been through them herself before. She stood up and quickly unlocked the door and picked up Demi. "It'll be okay Sugar, I got just what you need" she whispered and went to the backroom of the shop and laid Demi down on the table she had back there. "Lexi just start going through papers, if a customer comes in tell them I will be right with them" she yelled to Lexi then put her focus back on Demi.

She opened up her bag and got out a needle and some crank, she got the drug ready then got Demo's vein ready. When everything was set she gently eased the needle into the girls vein and let the drug seep into the vein. After she was done she put a blanket over Demi to keep her warm and sat down on a chair that was positioned across from the girl. "Its been awhile Sugar" she whispered putting her own hand on Demi's.

Skye Keaton

Skye fidgeted with her shirt a bit "no need to be nervous around my mom, shes pretty laid back and pretty much accepts anyone." When Kat went on about furniture she nodded her head in agreement "I love this couch, one of my favorites and it also has a lot of memories". Just as she was going to explain some of the memories her mom called them to the table because the food was ready. "Don't want the food to get cold" she said as she stood up and went to the kitchen and sat down at the table that had four chairs to it. On the table there was two plates that held pancakes and eggs, there was two pitches of juice, one grape and one orange, and there also was a bowl of fruit.

"Okay girls eat up, I have to take mine to go. Julie just called and needs me to come in early" Shannon explained as she went over to Skye and kissed her on the forehead "Stay orut of trouble sweetie, I still wished you would have come worked at the Bakery but I understand you don't want to work with your Mami" she joked but gave Skye a hug then went over to Kat and patted the girls shoulder "Eat up sweetie, there is more in the fridge if you are still hungry afterwards, I will probably see you later" she then headed our of the kitchen and went to get ready before heading to work.

Skye blushed a little as her mother went on, after her mother left the room she poured herlself a glass of oranje juice then started to eat small bites of her food. "My mom will probably try to feed you alot, that is what she does with me. She thinks I am too skinny and needs to put on some weight, I think I am fine but they always say mothers know best" she let out a small laugh as she continued to eat.

While she ate she thought about last night and her hand gripped her fork, she finally made up her mind, she decided she wasn't going to go to work tonight. Every time she worked there someone died, and last night she murdered someone, she took someones life and she just couldn't get the image od her jabbing the knife into the guys chest out of her mind. She also wanted to be available if Frank decided to want to meet up. She really hopped the investigator would be able to find out who her father is. As she was thinking she stopped eating and she was looking down at herbplate but her faced showed that she was distracted with her thoughts.

Maxxie Williams

Maxxie was looking at the muffins when she heard someone else walk in, she turned to see a good looking guy walk over to a women and took her to a table a bit aways. She looked at the two for a few minutes before she heard footsteps which made her look back over to the counter. There stood a women holding a thing of bread in one hand and a cake in another, flour and egg splattered over the apron. She couldn't help but smile. The women greeted her warmly and commenting on that she needed to eat more. "Good morning to you also, and yes I have been told that alot but I eat alot and still can't seem to keep the weight on" she smiled then looked over the food.

She watched the women put the food in the display "this is my first time here, I am new in town kind of and just having a loom around and alao trying to find something good for breakfast for my sister and I" she said as she tried tondecide on what she wanted. She kept her eyes on the women as she seemed to greet the other two that were sitting at the table. The women then looked back at her but she could tell thebsmile the women gave her was kind of fake.

"How about you pack me up a bag of your best, suprise me" she said with a smile and went to grab her wallet. Thats when she noticed that she must of left her phone at the house. She hoped Kenzie wouldn't notice or try to call her because that would just make things worse for her when she would go back home. She took out her debit card that was in the name of her alias Grace Parker, she was not suppose to have anything on her that held her real name just in case anything happened, she could not have her identity breached. Also in her bag she held a gun, the bag was a big one so that no one could really tell what was in it.
