Plan

The Skye club was the most popular in the town, everyone knew that it wasn't just a club but a front for the dangerous and most deadly drug dealers that the under ground cartel had to offer, the club was the available market that gave them a platform to sell their drugs to both young and old clients. It wasn't just a place for drug dealers, it got worst when the owner, Mr Lee, a ruthless Chinese that was rumored to have fed off his last girlfriends flesh, opened his underground club to arms dealers who held auctions where illicit items, weapons and sometimes persons where sold.

The club is located at the outskirts of the town, isolated from the rest. It was an empty place in the daytime but sprang to life at night and while the young partied and squandered their money and women and alcohol upstairs with loud music blaring from the speakers, the big dangerous men convened in a secret room under the club, shielded by the noise of the club, carrying out their dangerous affairs underneath.

On this particular night, a black SUV parked behind the club, in the woods not too far off from the club's building. Liam, a tall muscular man stepped out from the car and made for the group of men that had parked their cars in a similar spot and stood, hands in their pocket staring at nothing on particular. To the ordinary eye, they were so out of place as there was nothing within the woods except for the club in front of it but other than the men, no one knew that they was a secret large trap door underneath the dried leaves that opened up into tunnel, leading directly to underground room where the men held their meetings, once every seven months. Tonight they had an auction to attend.

Liam approached the men, they were four and all dressed in black except for the female on red. They were all wolves and belonged to the blood stone park which Liam is dominantly the Alpha of. The first man, short and with a stone faced expression and a bald head is Stefan Cambridge, he worked for a phillipino drug lord and attended these meetings on his behalf. The second a man of average height with short cropped hair and a smiling face, is Bob Frank, the owner of a small scale drug business that has sent many young kids to the rehabilitation center.

The third, the handsome one among them, nice features and jet black hair, most people mistook him for Liam due to their similarities in looks and expression. He rarely smiled and is the personal assistant to Liam, his right hand man, he is usually called Tony although it's just an alias. The last of them, who went by an alias name, candy, no one knew her real name and no one dared to ask was the female dressed in a red slit dress that highlighted the curves on her body, her red spiky heels only made her look more domineering. She is the only surviving daughter of the notorious Mr Lee, she ran the club alongside her father and was reputed to own an iron fist. She has a long time crush on Liam but he didn't entertain her advances. She was always here to escort them to the meeting room.

"Mr Liam", she smiled broadly, "Welcome". She extended her hand for a handshake and he took it politely.

"But that's not fair...", Bob pouted. "You didn't smile at any of us when we arrived, why does he always get the special treatment". They all ignored him and she took out a remote with two buttons from her black bag, one red and the other green, he hit the green one and the ground slid open, dried leaves falling into it, it gave way to reveal steps that led into tunnel.

"Shall we?". She asked taking the lead and stepping into the tunnel. The others followed, the moment they were all inside, she pushed the green button and the door slid shut.

"Right this way gentleman", she led them deeper into the well lit tunnel, with lamps hung at each side of the wall. Her heel clattered on the cemented floor as they made their way into a large room with a round table and chairs round it. A small stage had been erected in front for the auction and a bottles of wine and glasses filled the table. Some men that Liam could recognize from prior gatherings where already sitted around the table and interacting in hushed tones. The elevator on the other end made a ding sound and slid open.

"Liam!", The bald Chinese man known as Mr Lee and Candy's Father, stepped into the room from the elevator. "My very good friend, it's been a while". He shook his hand and tapped his hand gently in a fatherly manner. "You can have your seats, the auction would start soon". He gestured towards the chairs and the other men took their seat.

"Father". Candy nodded in greetings to her father.

"You both would make a power couple, don't you think?". He asked smiling up sheepishly at Liam who only laughed because he couldn't outrightly tell an old friend that he had no interest whatsoever in his daughter and not in the presence of candy. Her cold and menacing reputation plays a great role for her in this business as people rarely took women seriously especially in an occupation such as this so he knew well enough that turning her down publicly would hurt her and ruin an image she had worked so hard to keep.

"You should take a seat, I have something to attend to downstairs. I would join you shortly". She smiled at him and headed for the elevator with her father while Liam joined the men on the table. Upstairs meant the club while downstairs was a whole room dedicated to Mr Lee's business of wrapping up deadly drugs like heroin and nicotine even knew ones that were just flooding the market. If this underground room ever got busted by the cops, Mr Lee's empire would be buried overnight along with his money, influence and freedom.

"I heard there's a human on the auction board today", Bob whispered. "One of my girls told me".

"You mean those little things you take from the club and toy with", Stefan said mockingly.

"No!", Bob protested. "This one works directly for for candy, she overheard her discussing with someone about auctioning off a young woman", he reduced his voice to a hushed whisper to prevent the attendants present from overhearing their conversation. "Rumors has it that she is a human". His eyes bulged at the discovery he had just told them but no one seemed to believe or was interested in it.

The microphone suddenly made a sound and a young gentleman rose to the stage. Behind him was a large flast screen television, pinned to the wall. It was for displaying the items for sale and the highest is required to check his item out from Mr Lee's possession after the auction is over and the buyer had made full payment.

"Gentlemen", the young lads voice boomed through the speakers. He was young with Sandy coloured skin, a crop of brown hair, freckles across his face and light blue eyes. "The auction would begin now", he hit the gravel twice and the room fell silent. The elevator slid open and candy hurriedly took her seat besides Liam and Bob frowned disapprovingly.

"The first item on sale is an old painting by John Blake, it has been missing for years now and suddenly resurfaced after 20 years in the underground black market...", The screen displayed a painting of the ocean with an island, a boat, a Fisher man thrusting his net to the sea and his daughter at the shores waving at him. It was indeed beautiful, everyone in the room recognized the painting immediately.

"No way", Bob gasped while Stefan slightly gawked at the painting but he quickly recovered. "That's James Blake's painting, it was stolen from the museum years back". He turned sharply to look at Candy. "How to do you people get your hands on precious items like this?".

"We have our ways". She smiled and nudged his face back towards the the stage. "We have much more surprises for you". Bob turned around eagerly, like a child eager for a treat.

"The auction price begins at one million dollars", the lad in charge of the auction continued. "Anyone?". Bob's hand went up first, followed by a few of the men in the room.

Liam pulled out his cellphone and began to scroll through his scheduled meetings for the week, he had no interest in the auction, he was only here because of Mr Lee and his pack. Candy noticed how uninterested he was and moved closer to whisper into his ears.

"You are not interested?". She asked with a sultry tone, expecting to get a reaction from him but only a thin smile broke across his lips.

"Nothing much to see". The the item was sold to Bob at three million dollars and the lad moved on to the next auction.

"You should stay focused, I have a surprise especially for you". He looked at her from the corner of his eyes, keeping his eyes on his phone to avoid her noticing that he was watching her her.

"What kind of a surprise?". He asked curiously, seriously contemplating what Bob had said about a human on sale.

"You'll see see". She winked and squeezed his laps before turning to face the stage. The auction continued smoothly for thirty minutes, new items were displayed and people tossed the prices they felt was worth the item. Mr Lee was definitely making money from milking these people.

He only attended because Lee was an old friend and he frequently bought an item or two to keep Mr Lee's on his side.

The auction finally came down to the last item for the day.

"Ladies and gentlemen", the lad voice boom excitedly, "We have a special sale tonight and it's something that rarely occurs in Skye's history". Bob looked around frantically at everyone whispering, "I told you so!".

"We have a fresh blooded human female for sale". The TV displayed a female with squinty eyes and black long hair, she must have been crying for a while as her face was swollen and her hair was glued to her face due to the sweat on her fore head. Her eyes were green, greener than anything he had ever seen.

He looked at the screen in shock, it was her, it was the woman he had thought was long dead. How possible could that be? He stared at the screen, only candy noticed the change in his expression.

"What's wrong?". She asked, worried that she had offended him but he didn't reply, he only kept staring at the screen.

She watched his expression harden and when the lad wanted to call out the price for the auction, his harsh voice cut him off.

"I'll take her". He said authoritatively, everyone turned to look at Liam who had been quiet since the auction began, he rarely bought anything, he only usually donated money to Mr Lee's business and of all things he wanted to buy a woman. Nobody dared to counter him.

"Is everything alright?". Candy asked again, slightly touching his sleeves but he took his hand away from her sharply.

"Where did you find her?". His tone incomprehensible.

"Is everything alright?".

"Just answer the damn question". He slammed his fist on the table and everyone in the room jolted except for candy and Tony. Candy was a tough woman, it would take more than a sist being slammed on the table to scare her off. She looked at him, confused, wondering why he was behaving this way.

"I don't know", she hissed angrily. "A couple brought her in earlier, she was unconscious".

"Who are they?".

"We have a strict policy of protecting our informats and suppliers Mr Liam". He was beginning to get on her nerves because of a weak human that she barely knew.

"Find the couple". Liam said to Tony who nodded without a word. With that he headed for the elevator, "I need to have a word with your father". Before he got in front of it, she quickly blocked his way. Everyone in the room gasped at her boldness, they knew Liam and what he was capable of.

They all held their breaths, watching and waiting patiently.

"You can't meet him without an appointment". She stamped her heels on the floor and looked directly into his eyes, daring him to lay a finger on her.

"Out of the way Candy".

"Who is she? What is it about her that has you so upset?". He glared down at her, his eyes flashing another color, his wolf was obviously fighting to let himself out, her wolf hissed at her, afraid of Liam. Tony who had followed Liam immediately, stepped in between them to avoid a situation.

"Please step out of the way Candy". He pleaded and took her hand taking her away from his presence. Candy had always had a soft spot for Tony due to his similarities to Liam. When she was no longer in his way, he entered the elevator and it slid shut, taking him downstairs.

The room fell quiet the moment he was gone, every one could breath properly now.

The boy who had been leading the auction took the que that the event had ended and quietly excused himself from their presence, the other men began to leave quietly too until only Tony, Bob, Stefan and candy were left in the room.

Candy grabbed a glass of vodka and gulped it down in one go.

"Whoa! Whoa! Slow down Love", Bob advised, prying the glass away from her well manicured hands.

"Did you recognize who she is Tony?". Candy asked but Tony only shook his head without a word. They all turned to stare at the TV that was still on with the picture of the woman on full display. Candy pinned the picture with a cold stare, she barely knew the woman and already she hated her more than anyone in the world, she made a vow at that time to find out everything there is about this woman and how she was connected to Liam but first she had to get Tony to agree to her plan.

"I have a job for you all", she looked at them each, one at a time, certain that she had already worn Bob over with the way he flinched under her intense gaze. "It's a very simple task". She said with a grin causing Tony to raise an eyebrow at her.
