Invincible: A Descent into the Dark World of the Annual Pimp Party Chapter Sixteen: Invincible It was a few days later when Rich received the phone call. Bishop had requested that Angel perform at the annual, in just a few days. Angel was far from happy about the news. It was never good when another pimp took interest in another’s girl. Rich wasn’t too happy either. He was territorial of her, but it was out of his control. And so she would perform at the annual. The annual. It was more like a party for pimps, hosted by Bishop Bordeaux, the most famous pimp in the area. All the pimps and high paying clients would attend. There would be drugs, alcohol, weapons, and of course, prostitutes. Pimps could purchase new girls or trade them. Clients could pay for any act they wanted. Nothing was illegal at the annual. Angel was working over a new dance routine for the annual when Rich walked down the steps into the basement. “It’s looking good.” Angel pulled the earbuds out of her ears “what?” “Looks good.” Angel nodded before stopping the iPod’s music and set it down on a nearby table. Despite the cold air of the basement, Angel was sweating. Rich pulled over a folding chair and sat quietly as Angel took a moment to catch her breath. The basement was where the girls usually practiced before doing a new routine at the clubs. There was a pole that the girls could practice on, but otherwise it was an empty basement, only otherwise occupied by a few boxes storing a hodge-podge of stuff. “Do it again.” Angel gave him a blank look, still catching her breath. She inhaled deeply before picking up the iPod and unplugging the earbuds. The external speaker kicked on automatically, and she hit play on the iPod. +-+-+ The day before the annual, Rich got the text. It contained the address of the warehouse where the annual was being held. The address always comes last minute. This way police don’t have time to set up a raid. +-+-+ Rich pulled up a warehouse. He had driven to the address of the annual, but from the looks of it, he and Angel were alone. There were no other cars in the lot surrounding the warehouse and it’s neighboring warehouses. They seemed abandoned, with their dirty broken windows, faded paint, and chains and locks on the doors. Rich looked at Angel, this was not their first time at the annual, and he knew they both knew that despite appearances, they were far from alone. Angel stared out the window. A man tapped Rich’s window, making them both turn. …and then things took a turn
