"C'mon, hurry up!" Seth yelled as he pushed open a huge steel door leading into a building.
"Seth where the hell are you taking me? And what's going on?!"
"We're going in the back way." He said as he held the door open for Arizona.
She slowly stepped inside and was overwhelmed by the smell of weed and alcohol. It was dark and dingy and she struggled to see her hand in front of her face. Seth grabbed her arm and pulled her after him down the hallway and further into the building.
Loud music rang out from speakers positioned all around the walls, it was deafening, yet still did nothing to drown out the sexual moans eminating from the rooms all around. Headboards banged against the walls and mattresses squeaked under the strain.
She pulled back on Seth's arm making him stop. "YOU BROUGHT ME TO A BROTHEL?!" She yelled over the noise.
He shook his head. "IT'S NOT A BROTHEL!!" He replied as he pulled her along again.
They reached a part of the building lit by a dim red light and Arizona's eyes darted around catching a glimpse of each room where a door was open. Guys sat on sofas snorting lines of coke off the dirty table through rolled up 20's. Prostitutes recieved their pay as they left moving on to the next sad, lonely guy.
Arizona was shocked, she felt unsafe knowing that she lived so close to all of this. Thoughts span around in her head as Seth continued to drag her through the building. She felt dizzy from the fumes and had to fight back the vomit rising in her throat.
"S-Seth..." She uttered, still shell shocked from what she had just seen.
"Ok look we're here, c'mon, in here!" He held open the door and lead her inside a tiny apartment, that was covered in filth and grime. Cups and pots overflowed the sink and a mouldy stained matress sat in the corner, a crumpled up sheet thrown over it. Water seeped in through the roof above and fell down in droplets around them.
Seth paced around panicking. "He was here a minute ago! Where the fuck has he gone?!"
"Seth? Who?"
"This guy, his name's Connor, and he was here like 2 fucking seconds ago!!!"
Arizona paced around after Seth trying to calm him down. "Seth, who's Connor?! What's happened?!!"
A loud bang at the door stopped them both in their tracks, followed shortly after by another one which sent the door flying forward in two pieces. Arizona screamed and ran back towards the wall. Seth just stood there frozen to the spot.
A guy walked in, he was wearing a smart suit, like a businessman, however Arizona knew he was hardly the honest businessman type. "Seth, how lovely to see you again." He said sarcastically. "Have you got my money?"
Seth began to panic even more, he began shaking and sweat ran down his face. "Connor, look just give me three more days, please."
"I gave you three more days!!" Connor yelled back. He shook his head. "You brought me to this Seth, I gave you a chance." He pulled a gun from a holster underneath his jacket.
"Whoa!! No Connor, wait, I can pay you!!!" Seth screamed as he held up his hands as if surrendering.
"NIXON!! BRING HER IN!" Connor yelled back towards the door. An evil smile played across his face as another guy walked in dragging a woman behind him. She was crying and trying to fight the man off. blood ran down her face from a gash on her forehead. She was wearing very little, and her face was plastered in makeup.
"P-Pauline?" Seth stammered. He watched in horror as the guy threw her onto the floor. She scrambled to her knees and tried to get away, but Connor loaded his gun and pointed it at her head making her stop in her tracks.
"Connor, no please don't, I can pay you, I'll get the money!!!" Seth begged, his eyes still glued to Pauline on the floor.
"I gave you a chance Seth!" Connor yelled back.
Seth turned to Arizona who had been stood in the corner watching in horror this whole time. Tears ran down her face, her eyes wide with fear. "Pay him!!!" Seth yelled at her.
"I d-don't..."
"JUST FUCKING DO IT!!!!" He yelled again, getting more hysterical.
Arizona slid her purse off her shoulder and rooted around in it frantically trying to find some money. "I have 42 dollars!" She said as she held it out in her hand.
Connor laughed, he shook his head slowly, then pulled the trigger. A shot rang out and the woman fell to the ground almost in slow motion, blood and brain matter pouring out of her head.
Arizona couldn't hear anything, her eyes were fixated on the dead body in front of her. Connor signalled to his partner and they both left without saying a word. Seth dropped to his knees in front of Pauline's body and began sobbing. He held his hand out over her body as though unsure of what to do.
The strong stench of blood and death filled Arizona's nostrils. She'd smelt it before at the hospital, she'd seen death, but not like this. This was 10 times worse than anything she'd even seen, and as she managed to get her breath back her stomach wretched and she fell to her knees throwing up all over the floor.
