�Wake up you lousy scum!� One of the officers started brushing a metal cup on the bars, creating a loud commotion.

�Ughhh,� Janie stretched out her arms, �That was the worst night�s sleep I ever had,� she complained under her breath. Janie rubbed her eyes to the new challenges that were in store for her today. She glanced at her watch and looked around for Andrew. �He�s not here yet, darn it!� She folded her arms across her legs and frowned. �I don�t want to be here anymore�I have to find a way out, damn that��

��speak of the devil.� Janie spoke as she saw Andrew come up the stairs. He came up to the cell and grinned at Janie.

�Well, did you have a nice night?� He smiled.

Janie gave him a dirty look and stuck her tongue out at him.

�Kept up with that attitude and you�ll be seeing 10 to 15 years.� He threatened.

�Whatever�� Janie acted like she didn�t care, but truly, she didn�t want this at all.

�Officer Chud,� Andrew spoke, �Get me that girl.�

Officer Chud unlocked the door and went to go get Janie, �Get up!� He yanked her arm and pulled her towards the door.

�Let go you freak!� She yelled at him, �I can walk by myself!� She took her arm from him and walked out.

Andrew grabbed her arm and pulled her to his desk, where he pushed her down into a chair.

�Watch it punk!� Janie yelled at him, �I�m a person not a dog!�

�Actually�� Andrew mocked her as he took his seat, �I usually treat dogs better.� Janie ignored his comment and proceeded to whistle.

�Stop it, I�m going to talk about your punishment now.� Andrew gathered some papers from his drawer.

�You�re gonna let me go?� Janie scooted closer to his desk.

�Sort of�� he smiled and picked up his phone, �Mint, can you please tell Arthit he can come in?�

�Who�s Arthit?� Janie asked.

�You�ll see�� Andrew went back to signing some more papers.

A small dark man entered the room and presented himself as Detective Arthit Jaopraserd. He looked a bit creepy with his long hair and unshaven face.

�Take a good look at him,� Andrew addressed her, �You�re gonna be seeing a lot of him around.�

�What do you mean?� Janie was taken back.

�Well, he�s going to be your guardian until you tell us what you know. That means you�re going to have to go live with him and wear this,� Andrew pulled out a bracelet, �It�s a shock bracelet, if you try to escape, he�ll push a button and you�re gonna have some electricity running through your body.�

�What! That�s cruel and unusual punishment! You can�t do that to me!� Janie screamed.

�We�re not in the United States here, I can do whatever I want to make you talk!� He laughed, and so did Arthit.

�Please!� Janie begged, �I�ll do anything else, just not this!�

Andrew smirked, it seemed as if he was waiting forever to hear those words from her mouth.

�Are you sure you�ll do anything?� He asked her.

�Anything!� Janie spoke quickly, forgetting to think that she would sign her life away to yet another devil.

�Let�s see you put that in writing.� Andrew pulled out a piece of paper that was basically a contract that she would do whatever Andrew wanted.

Janie, forgetting to even read the contract, signed her name as Andrew pulled the paper away from under her after she completed signing the �n.�

�Now this proves that I am in total control over your life from this point forward.� Andrew laughed and beckoned Arthit to come to the desk. Janie flinched as she moved away from him. Andrew spoke some quick words with Arthit and he left in a hurry.

�Now,� Andrew walked over to Janie and pulled her up off the ground, �You�re coming with me.� He pulled he out of the office and towards the entrance of the police station. Janie was still in a confused state of mind, what did she just do?

�Wait!� Janie pulled back, �Where are you taking me!� She demanded.

�Arguing back isn�t allowed now,� Andrew retorted and pulled her down the stairs to his car. �Don�t forget,� He waved the contract in front of her, �you�ve signed your life away to me, it means you�re under my control from now on. Or would you rather go with Arthit here?� He looked over to Arthit who came hopping down the stairs with Janie�s belongings, and giving Janie a perverted smile.

Janie shrunk back into the car and turned her face away from him.

�Now that�s more like it,� Andrew smiled and took Janie�s bag from Arthit. He got into the car and drove off in a fury, �Buckle up now,� He looked over at Janie, �I don�t want my number one witness dying before I find out what I need.�

Janie, still in a daze, did as she was told.

From the police station, Krit looked after Andrew�s car as he drove off. �Be careful rookie, just don�t let me get my hands on her�� He grinned and walked back inside with a sneaky look on his face.

---------------------------

Andrew pulled up in front of a nice looking building. Janie peered out the window and was amazed at how high the building was.

�Get out�� Andrew told Janie as he got out of the car and gathered up her stuff.

Janie walked out slowly, looking around for any familiar landmarks. Andrew looked over to her and threw her bag into her arms.

�Oww!� Janie gave him a dirty look, �Next time hit me in the head why don�t cha?� She flung her bag over her shoulders and looked at him.

�C�mon�� Andrew ignored her and proceeded to walk inside the building. Reluctantly Janie followed him, but just then she recognized a familiar building. She smiled and followed Andrew inside.

�This is my condo.� Andrew told her as he unlocked the door and walked inside.

�Wait�� Janie was confused, �Why did you bring me to your condo?� She looked at him suspiciously.

�So I can look after you much easier�� Andrew answered as he threw his jacket on the couch, �Besides, that contract you signed, says that I am now your guardian, so you�re going to stay with me until this case I�ve been working on gets closed.�

�Why me?� Janie asked.

�Because of various reasons that I don�t need to tell you�it�s police business. All you need to know is now, you�re going to be a spy for the police.�

�What???� Janie shrieked and walked up to Andrew, �What the heck are you talking about? What could I possibly know that would be of use to you?�

�Well for one, you�re a dealer, and we need that. All of our undercover cops can�t get into the ring anymore without someone recognizing them. You on the other hand, already work for the drug ring so you have easy access and people will suspect you less. And another thing, I think you know more than you want to tell us. So you�re gonna stay under my supervision until our plan is done.�

�I�ll tell you right out that I�m just going to ruin everything for you. Why should I even tell you anything?� Janie looked smug.

�Well,� Andrew pulled Janie close to him, �I can convict you on terms of possession of drugs and also add on prostitution. That would send you to jail for quite a long time. Are you willing to risk it?� Andrew smirked.

�I�m not a prostitute!� Janie flung herself away from him.

�But are you going to deny the drug convictions because I have a lot of evidence against you for that one.�

Janie became silent. She couldn�t deny he was right, but she didn�t want to believe that he wanted her to be a spy for the police. If BOSS ever found out, what would he do to them? Her life, she was willing to put on the line, but not the lives of others.

�So what�s it going to be? Be my spy or go to jail?� Andrew gave her an ultimatum.

Janie took a deep breath and put her hand over her watch, hesitating, she finally spoke, �I accept.�
