As the trio of Candy, Lily, and Ruby gathered in a dimly lit corner of Marco's den, Carla revealed the details of their peculiar task.
"Ah, my charming trio," Carla said, a smile playing on her lips. "I trust you've prepared yourselves for the delightful encounter I have planned for you."
"Listen up, ladies," Carla began, her tone a melodic symphony of authority. "Today, you've got a rendezvous with three people. They're no strangers to the underbelly of our world, seedy characters who believe they hold the strings. It's time to show them that the real power lies with us."
"The task, ladies, is simple yet crucial. You are to distract three individuals known to have connections in the seedy underbelly of our world. Our contacts have assured us they will be at a discreet lounge known as 'Midnight Ember.'"
Carla explained with a sly smile. "They're expecting to meet their regular escorts tonight, but we're going to spice things up a bit. You three will be their company for the evening."
Candy, Lily, and Ruby exchanged glances, absorbing the unusual nature of their assignment.
Carla continued, "These men are influential in their own circles, and we've received word that they're exploring some lucrative deals. Your job is to keep them occupied, entertained, and most importantly, distracted. I want their attention nowhere else but on you three."
Carla leaned in, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "They'll be expecting a different kind of entertainment, but you three are going to give them a performance they won't forget. Play your parts well, and make sure they're thoroughly distracted. We've got other plans in motion, and this is the first step."
As Carla spoke, she handed each of the women a dossier containing details about their assigned target.
With a smirk playing on her lips, Carla explained the plan, emphasizing the importance of distraction and keeping the men's attention riveted on the trio.
The trio's objective was to intercept the original escorts, captivate the clients, and keep them engrossed in a world of beguiling illusions.
Candy, donned in her provocative attire, couldn't help but express a fleeting sentiment as they prepared to embark on their task. "You know, Carla, I might miss my work at the gambling den at night. It's quite the spectacle."
Carla, ever the strategist, responded with a sly grin. "Don't you worry, Candy. I'll handle the den owner. Consider it taken care of. Your presence will be sorely missed, but this mission takes precedence."

The trio returned to their post doing their work for the gang for the rest of the day before they take on the mission during night time.
The main lobby of Marco's den buzzed with activity as gang members lounged in the dimly lit space. The scent of cheap perfume, mingled with the subtle undertones of danger, permeated the air.
The trio moved through the crowded main lobby of Marco's den, navigating the sea of seedy characters with allure. The air was thick with the scent of cigarette smoke and anticipation, and their provocative attire drew the gaze of every male gang member in the room.
As they approached a group of men huddled around a makeshift poker table, the lecherous comments began to rain down like an unwelcome shower. One of the gang members, a scruffy man with a cigarette dangling from his lips, couldn't contain his crude remarks.
A Scruffy Gang Member said while smirking.
"Well, look who's here, boys. Marco's little playthings. Got a lot of spunk, don't ya?"
Candy, maintaining her seductive facade, responded with a teasing smile.
"Spunk is my middle name, darling. What can I do for you?"
The gang members erupted in laughter, their boisterous jeers echoing through the den. Lily and Ruby exchanged knowing glances, silently acknowledging the unspoken challenge they faced.
The Scruffy Gang Member then leaned in while saying.
"How 'bout a private game, sweetheart? I've got a special deck of cards just for you."
Lily played along with a sultry smirk.
"A private game, you say? Maybe we can make it interesting. What's the buy-in?"
The atmosphere crackled with tension as the gang members reveled in the suggestive banter. Ruby, the fiery redhead, decided to inject a bit of her own spice into the mix.
"Interesting, huh? Well, I do love a good gamble. What are we betting, boys? Hearts, diamonds, or something more... provocative?"
As Ruby delivered her provocative line, the gang members exchanged intrigued glances, caught off guard by her boldness.
Ruby then leaned while conveying.
"What's the matter, boys? Cat got your tongues? Or are you just not up for a little excitement?"
A Leering Gang Member among the group grinned. "Excitement, huh? I like the sound of that. How 'bout we make it interesting, sweetheart? I'll bet you my watch against... hmm, let's say, a kiss?"
The gang members chuckled, reveling in the audacious proposal. Ruby, playing the game with a mischievous gleam in her eyes, responded in kind.
"A watch for a kiss? That's a tempting offer, but let's up the stake. How about each of you puts something on the table? Hearts, diamonds, or a little piece of clothing, perhaps?"
The suggestion hung in the air, sparking a combination of laughter and intrigued murmurs among the gang members. The atmosphere in the den became charged with a sense of anticipation, as the men contemplated the risqué proposition.
The Scruffy Gang Member replied.
"You're quite the firecracker, Red. Alright, we're in. Hearts, diamonds, and a little strip poker—deal us in!"
The challenge was accepted with a raucous cheer from the gang members.
