“Don’t be silly, you look amazing.” Madeline stated in reply to Kathryn’s first comment. When the other woman talked about the fire in Madeline’s eyes, she took a moment to force her body to relax. Maddy had no idea how to be tamed; she was as far from tamed as a person could get. “Tigers are not meant to be tamed,” she thought to herself. Fiercely independent, the idea of someone breaking her was honestly beyond her grasp. But she had to try, for Eloise. So, she fell behind Finn, walking alongside Kathryn and trying her best to keep a flat affect and avoid anyone’s gaze, her eyes often staying pointed down towards the ground. Finn seemed to embrace his role as he ordered the girls to get a table and she followed Kathryn as she aimed for a booth.

She stole a few glances around the room but something told her that the people they were looking for would be behind closed doors. If the buyers were as elite as Ugarte had implied, they would undoubtedly have some sort of VIP section for them. This being LA, it was hard to pick out exceptionally beautiful women that may have been brought here against their will. It was then that Madeline had a thought, one that wasn't very reassuring. They had figured out a cover story but they hadn't exactly figured out a way out. She could only hope that tonight went smoothly and led to them to where they might find Eloise. 

Finn would find Fernando at a corner of the bar, a beautiful woman on either side of him. An older gentleman, he'd be sipping a whiskey that would never go empty and mostly minding his own business. When Finn approached, Fernando would indeed be expecting him. He would direct him to a set of stairs on the back wall that was roped off. It would lead down into the basement and a separate, private area. 

Kathryn almost smiled as she watched Maddy try to change her attitude. She was a fierce young woman, and Kathryn was intrigued by her- although at the moment she mostly focused on the booth they were in. She presented her profile to the club while seeming like she was waiting for Finn's return.

Finn returned to the girls and, with a domineering hand gesture, told them to follow. He led them through the club and down the stairs. 

They walked into large, smoke-filled room. Ornate, comfortable furniture was juxtaposed with bare concrete walls. A few men were seated, some with girls on their laps, others with women simply standing next to them. Finn sauntered up and spoke to the man who seemed to be in charge.

"Here to do business."

Kathryn and Maddy, meanwhile, flicked their eyes around the room, looking for a redhead.
