It had been 2 months since the crazy weekend at the Biker Festival and Louise and John had got back into the usual routine of work and weekends. The last month had been highly stressful however as the company John worked for had gone through a restructure and John's boss who he got on with had been made redundant.
The new boss was an old rival who had seen John as a threat when he had joined the company and clearly now saw this as his chance to remove John, he had managed to persuade the new Vice President that the team could be reduced to drive further efficiencies. So, John found himself redundant with a small redundancy package, he was always open with Louise but did not want to stress her out over the situation so assured her that he would find another job soon.
However, after a month of searching it was evident that the whole market was in a downturn and the opportunities very limited. A year before they would have been fine, but they had sunk all their savings and a hefty remortgage into an extension they had built; so now faced a lot of repayments.
Another month had rolled around and the money from the redundancy was being eaten into rapidly, if nothing came up soon, they were going to have to discuss selling the house and downsizing, they were determined they would not do this, but their options were running out.
Louise came into the kitchen where John was looking for more job opportunities; "Any luck."
"Nothing that pays enough to cover us, I shall keep looking."
Louise grimaced it was clear John was stressed "But we are running out of time."
"I Know but we don't have any other options" John replied.
"Well, there might be one."
"I don't want to ask your parents and mine would never lend a penny anyway."
"I did not mean borrow from them."
"Well, what's your idea?"
"You remember the festival."
"How could I forget it; it was hot and crazy."
"Well remember that biker Mike who approached us and his leaving note, I still have it and he said if we ever wanted work to use the email."
John frowned "Are you sure, you want to do this, you know it's going to involve something sexual, and we have no idea who this email is going to reach is it mike or someone else."
Louise pulled out the piece of paper and read out the email address, "the name is Nicolai Dujak."
"Hmm, that sounds like eastern European possibly Albanian, they are dangerous people and involved in all sorts of dubious activity, are you sure you want to do this."
"I think we need to do something, or we are going to have the bank after us, I will email him and just say I am looking for work and see what comes back, if it sounds odd, we can ignore and think of something else."
"Ok but only if you're sure."
"I am going to give it a go, it might even be fun."
"I am not sure Albanian crime lords are fun."
"We don't know what it is, I am going to email him now and tell him Mike told us to get in touch."
A day passed and Louise was checking her emails for a response to her enquiry for work, 3 emails down she saw it, a message from Nicolai it simply read; come to the below address 1700hrs Friday, dress appropriately for your interview and ask for me, the crimson rooms, Millers gate road, Southampton.
Louise read it to John, "what do you think, it does not say much, and I don't recognise that area, do you."
John laughed "that's because that's a seedy end of the city you never go to, it's a notorious area and sandwiched between a run-down suburb and an industrial estate, just searching and the Crimson rooms are a strip club, not much info but looks like a fully nude strip club not much info on their website."
Louise grinned "well I can pole dance and don't mind nudity so it's worth a go."
"Are you sure, you want to do this we can hold out for another month."
"No, we need to do something, and this could give us breathing space."
"Ok but I will come with you."
It was Thursday and Louise had been deliberating all week on what she would wear for her interview with a few impromptu dress up sessions that John had enjoyed. John was going to drop her off, but she did not want him dropping her off right outside the door as the less they knew about John the better and she did not want their car number plate tagged in case anything did not work out and they could find their home address.
Probably being paranoid Louise thought but better safe than sorry, slightly ironic she thought since the predicament they were getting into.
Friday rolled around and Louise was nervous, she had had some crazy sexual adventures, but this was different she was effectively applying for a job and whilst she knew it was a strip club, she had no idea what the job might fully entail. John was downstairs still looking for jobs as she began to get ready.
She had shaved her pussy, selected a simple but striking barbell for her VCH piercing and painted her nails a bright slightly whoreish red. Next came stockings and suspenders with a tiny sheer wicked weasel thong that showed the outline of her pussy lips and the glinting piercing. Louise then picked out a short black clingy strapless dress and a pair of black high heel strappy stilettos.
Louise walked downstairs and John looked up, jaw dropping he got up and Louise could see his intent.
"No, I cannot get my hair and makeup messed up, later."
John shrugged "you look amazing, lucky interviewer, we better get going anyway."
It took 40 minutes to reach the industrial estate, John pulled up the car. Louise looked around the area, it certainly looked run down she was going to look out of place but what the hell it was only a 200m walk to the address.
John turned off the engine "ok just follow this road and turn left opposite the old railway siding 100m ahead of us, the club should be on the left next to the car workshop, just call me when you're done, and I will be back here to pick you up."
Louise took a deep breathe, leaned over kissed John, and stepped out of the car. She felt exposed but could not see anyone so started walking down the road, as she approached the old railway siding and turned left into a small road with a collection of various garages and low rent looking buildings, she heard voices.
Louise spotted the crimson rooms a 3-story building with black smoked windows and a neon pole with the name and the outline of a stripper dancing around a dagger in bright crimson. The noise was coming from 4 guys giving banter to each other in the forecourt of the garage next to the club. Louise kept her head up and eyes straight ahead as she walked past the garage to the club, the shouting stopped and she heard a wolf whistle, ignoring it she walked on.
