Just a Job


Hips Don't Lie



She was sitting quietly in her chamber - really a refurbished storage room, brightly lit and a mirror fixed on the wall for the perfect make up, a chair and a small wardrobe for the costumes and outfits.

Normally she shared it with three other girls but she had kicked them out, much to their dismay.

It didn't bother her.

It never did.

If she was lucky it would be her last night in this establishment, her last dance before she could return home.

Her eyes narrowed. The reflection of the mirror starred at her. Hard.

Home.

She had lost her home a long time ago if she ever had one in the first place - she couldn't really remember.

Her contact had promised that her target would be sitting among today's audience. The man would be recognized easily - he would be sitting in a crowed of bodyguards.

The woman checked her appearance again. Appearance was a major part of her job.

Her flame red hair was hanging loose in wild curls and framing her face. The make up and synthflesh covered her face perfectly not even her sharp eyes could make out the outlines of it nor hints of the scars, received years ago during a fight.

You have a job to do!

She opened the bottom of her jar. Two tiny sprays fell out, one red one blue.

The woman took the blue one and sprayed a thin layer of it on her right hand. She didn't miss a part of her palm. It would be fatal to her. Then she waited for some seconds, letting it dry. Her fingers flexed to test the film. It didn't break.

The latex skin would protect her from the poison.

The red head took the other tube and repeated the spraying.

Her weapon was now ready.

Ladies up in here tonight

The announcer outside started with his usual yell.


No fighting!
No fighting!



It had started.

She rose from her chair, the cape falling over her shoulders hiding her whole body from prying eyes.


No fighting!
No fighting!

Shira, Shira



The crowed already chanted her name.

She opened the door and walked briskly down the corridor toward the stage. On her way she had to push the other girls aside. They yelled at her, cursed and muttered.

Shira ignored them as always. The women were not worth to be considered in any way.

After nearly two weeks in this establishment she had already her regulars, guests coming to just see her dance in the hope of more.

This cover was the easiest way for her to get to her target. The atmosphere was heated up, the drinks and@#$%tails were emptied fast and refilled even faster. Even more important he was a regular costumer.

The bellowing voice of Timbol, the announcer, continued praising her abilities.


I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak -



The end of the sentence was swallowed by the yells of the audience.


Shira, Shira



That was her call. She slipped through the curtains, her body swinging already to the music.


Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body



Dancing was like a natural thing for her. Fighting and dancing. Both were nearly the same just had a different outcome. Eventually.

Shira stepped over the stage, swinging and circling. The cape billowed, ravelling a booted leg, an arm, only to hide it again after some seconds.


And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie



Her cape fell from her shoulders, showing her tight black skirt and high heeled boots, reaching up over her knees, and a matching top.

She rocked her hips to the music, receiving whistles from the crowed. In the first row she could make out her target, just as promised, surrounded by disinterested bodyguards. What threat could be found in a place like this anyway?

A smile sneaked across her lips.


And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection



Her movements were designed to attract attention from the rotund man surrounded by his well muscled bodyguards. Shira searched his eyes, caught them and didn't let go of them anymore.

Won.

Now he was all hers.


Hey Girl, I can see your body moving
And it's driving me crazy
And I didn't have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing



Timbol screamed over the speakers to the masses. Over the last few days she had learned he loved doing that. It was his way to make sure the girls on the stage got enough tips.

Maybe it was just his perverse way to drool over them.

It did not stop him though.


And when you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody cannot ignore the way you move
your body, girl
And everything so unexpected - the way
you right and left it
So you can keep on shaking it



The men answered with other yells. Making her smirk even more.


Shira, Shira



I'm pretty sure you all wouldn't want my attention if you knew who I am, what I am able to do. What I'm going to do!

But she played her part. She was too professional for anything else.


Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel you boy
Come on let's go, real slow
Don't you see baby, this is perfection

Oh I know I am on tonight my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection



The rotund man was all hers now. She had danced as if he was the only one present. Swinging, shuffling, exposing flesh and hiding it again, back and forth. Her hips rocked, her belly rolled.

At some point she fell on her knees and crawled forward. She reached the edge of the stage, right above her target. Her right hand reached up and stroke over his cheek.

Shira noticed that the bodyguards didn't bother to pay attention to her.

The man stood up and put some money into her cleavage. She ignored him. She had got what she wanted.

And the crowd too.


Shira, Shira

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak -



Timbols voice echoed slightly above the men's but not loud enough.


Shira, Shira



She got up and turned her back to the audience, her hips swinging again.


I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel you boy
Come on let's go, real slow
Baby, like this is perfecto



Time to finish this nonsense. One last round on the stage and then she would be gone for good.

Shira looked at her target, she could make out a blue hint to his face.

Her job was done.

She was done in this establishment. Maybe Shira Brie could be dead after this and wouldn't need to appear again.


Oh, you know I'm on tonight and my
hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
The attraction, the tension
Baby, like this is perfection



A last swing and she was gone. The curtains closed behind her and she hurried down the corridor. The other girls were still there, properly waiting probably for their own stage time.


No fighting
No fighting



She heard Timbol again.

Even when Shira is done for tonight we have several other hot girls waiting for you.

The woman, who used the name of her former self, picked up her cape and covered her body. It concealed her appearance quite well and would not attract attention outside.

She pushed the back entrance open when she heard chaos erupting in the bar. The bodyguards seemed to finally have noticed that someone had killed their boss beneath their noses.

She allowed a satisfied grin graze her lips. Skilled she pulled off the synthskin, her own flesh itching under the treatment. Without a second thought she threw it away.

Shira was gone and was once again replaced by Aeron, the Mysterious Lady.

Unnoticed she vanished into the darkness.

Her home.
