The Bait

CHAPTER 5

THE BAIT

"Woah hot!" Clint breathed out.

And indeed she was, in the low-cut, off-shoulder scarlet dress she had on for the night, Erin was a head-turner.

"Thanks!" I saw Erin flush a little.

"Okay so me and Edwin in the chev, and you two go together." I cut to the chase.

"Let's roll CC" said Edwin.

It was half past nine when we parked across Contessa.

Me and Edwin took a room on the 1st floor, Erin sat at the bar table and ordered a drink while Clint was out in the smoking area to keep an eye out for things.

"Okay we are in!"

I turned around from the window of our cozy room and saw the 30 mini-screens on the laptop. Edwin had all the cctvs hacked into.

"You got it done fast."

"Told you world-class!"

If I had penny for all the times we have been stuck because of Edwin, I'd own Contessa by now.

My phone rang, it was Clint, "Holt's car just rolled in."

"Okay I will message Erin, you be ready too, put on a good show tonight."

"Get your popcorn ready" Clint joked, he always uses dry humor whenever we are getting a job done.

I sat on the plush couch beside Edwin, we could see Erin on CAM03 she was sipping her drink, even i couldn't stop looking at her the rare occasions she dressed up she was easily the prettiest girl in the room.

Through the entrance CAM we saw Holt and his two buddies enter.

"Hmmm" a thought bothered me, but I couldn't wrap my head around it.

They sat over at a table on Erin's left and ordered. We waited for a while, for them to get comfortable. Then Erin saw her chance.

The waiter was coming from the opposite side with a glass of white wine, Erin got up and walked towards him, nearing Holt's table, giving an Emmy-winning performance, she twisted on her heel and into the waiter.

The wine spilled all over Holt's table.

"Oh i am so sorry!" Erin said in sleazy way. " I think I had a little too many of those martinis"

"It's quite alright, dear" Holt was looking straight at her.

"No no let me help you out" Erin bent over with a napkin and wiped the table, and this did that low-cut dress a whole lot of justice.

Holt's eyes widened.

"Dear, you got a bit on yourself too" Holt slurred and got up, "I have a room upstairs where you can clean up."

Wait what! I thought, that's all it took, not sure why, but I was feeling uneasy.

"Do I go in now?" Clint asked over the speaker.

That was scene 1, our next part was Clint going in and creating trouble for Erin so she could turn to Holt as the damsel in distress.

"Umm, no need Holt bit the bait." I said.

"Already!" exclaimed Clint.

That's when the alarm in my head should have gone off.
