She knew it was a mistake. Black Scorpion, or so her 'lady night' name was, had only just joined the group after having eaves dropped on one of Candy's conversations with their leader, Starlight. And she was relatively knew to the Peach as well. At the Peach, she was called Poinsettia, like the flower, and tended to wear lingerie of the same color- to accent her black hair and red eyes. Though those few who got close to her, knew her by her given name of Ursula Deigh.
And sure, Ursula was a strong girl, heck, she was the tallest one of their group! And if Candy had to put her two cents in, she might even have to say she was more stubborn than Starlight, or even herself! And it was that evening, when a rare storm dropped gallons of water, even hail on the city, thus dampening any sales for the evening, as well as the Ladies plans. But it was the perfect time to at least plot, and the girls of the night had gathered into Starlight's room, (for it was the first time in ages she hadn't a patron, but she also hadn't even performed for the night- due to lack of a crowd). And it was here Candy brought up a lead she thought they should look into, however, from her sources, the lead would be leaving the city before the morning.
Seeing how the weather was, Starlight said for them to forget this gig. They couldn't help everyone, and as the girls all turned in for the night, Ursula approached Candy and inquired more about the lead. And that's what lead Candy, or more appropriately- 'Card Trick'- to be out on such a horrendous night. And she was beginning to regret every decision she had made that night. Her tuna sandwich had made her queasy, she ran out of her own soup and oils and used Starlight's, which made her skin itch and left sparkling residue that was hard to rub off, to her revealing the more intimate details about this lead.
A certain man by the name of Tress Westley owned and operated the Mill on Harbor Lane. Though turns out, when he took over ownership over a year ago, the MIll was doing more than grinding flour. Turns out it was a hub for some underground activity, ones that sold potent drugs that were not only illegal in Ketra, but most of the world. And had Candy known Ursula had a personal history with the drug, (who most knew as the Snake Wine)- whichw as basically a drnk with as much venom as the human body could handle that would put the mind into a sensational high. However, too much of the poison caused death, and it was something the body was easily addicted to. So Candy could have kicked herself. She had almost forgot that was why Ursula was sold to the Peach. Her brother, she said, had a history of drugs, and was soon in the poor house and with no other family or means of money, he sold his sister without a second thought.
Now she said he was dead. And Candy knew for sure she was out here for revenge. And now thoroughly soaked, despite her attire, 'Card Trick' blindly moved towards the mill. And the rain was so thick it came down in sheets. She couldn't see more than a foot infront of her, and that, coupled with the winds and the sudden bits of hail that were falling, she knew she had to hurry- and fast.
No one would be on the roads at such an hour, let alone out in such weather, but apparently she was wrong, because as she rounded the bend to take a small reprieve in the alcove of a building just nestled into the alleyway- she hadn't seen that someone else had the same idea, and the soaking wet, cross dressing woman couldn't stop herself from suddenly tumbling into the young man standing there, and falling right into his arms!
