I allow my child to smoke

Belinda,
I received a call from Phillip's mom today.
She asked if I would mind changing the meeting for tomorrow to today at
4 pm. I said, not at all. and so, we are going to meet today.
When I tried to question her about Lola, the birth certificate and other things, she was very abrupt and said all my questions would be answered at the meeting, and don't be late. She then just hung up.
I think this change of meeting time is meant to throw me off. It's working
I'm leaving in a few minutes. I'll check back later, and let you know what happened.
Cate.

Cate, see your phone provider. Over here there's a prefix we dial straight before the number we're calling. That number is 1831 followed by the number you wish to call. That then doesn't reveal your number. It just shows "Private Number". There's a chance though that Phillip's mum won't answer privite numbers and if she does she'll wonder why your number has been concealed.

Whilst I knew of this before, I just Googled "How to hide my phone number when I call another number" and this prefix was shown. I demonstrated this to Ren by dialling her mobile number (you people in the U. S refer to mobile phones as "Cell phones". When I rang Ren's number by using the prefix, her phone rang and it displayed "Private number". I rang it again without using that prefix and her phone rang and displayed "Mum." indicating it was me calling.
Belinda

Ren,
It's not the fact they're Black
Lola loves Black guys. She wouldn't even date a white guy. Perhaps that's why it was so easy for Phillip (and his mom) to gain her trust. Even to the point of allowing herself to be branded and sold on the street. From what I observed watching her the other night, she actually seemed to be enjoying herself.
I'm at a loss too.
Cate.

Hi Cate,
It's Renae (Ren) I despise these black people for taking Lola away from you.

I hope they treat her well and she stays safe and they don't take her to Mexico where young girls are sold as s ex slaves and there's drug mules. How could Phillip? If he was my bf I'd kick his as s out the door for branding her and selling her p ussy and treating her like white trash.

Stay in contact with mum, we all want you to be safe and well.

Ren

Thanks honey. I really appreciate your sentiments.
I think the threat of Mexico is just that - a threat. I think that's a last resort for them, because what they really want is Lola. They want her working and working and working and making videos and making them a ton of money, until she's used up and there's nothing left.
This is a criminal enterprise, and Lola and I are it's latest victims
I'll stay in touch. You do too.
Cate.

Sorry Cate,
I didn't realise I posted the same comment twice.
All my love to you both.
Ren

Hi Cate,
It's Renae (Ren) don't let these black people take Lola to Mexico. They treat young girls like s ex slaves over there and there so many drug mules. Who does Phillip and his mum think they are?

Although some of our rules at home are strict, overall mum is good to us and we are grateful to have her. She's going to homeschool us after Easter. She and dad have got builders in to convert the double garage into a classroom. The builders are delaying things coz of the fires we've had here and we're waiting on insulation and air-conditioning. Hopefully it will be finished by Easter.

I hope Lola stays safe and well and stay in contact with mum. She's worried for you both.
Ren

Belinda,
I got home a bit ago. I drove the block for hours. I saw Phillip, his brothers, and some of their girls who were working. But no Lola.
I also tried your suggestion and phoned Phillip's mother. No answer. I tried four times. No answer. She knows my number, so I think she's ignoring me.
I have no doubt she'll keep ignoring my calls until I show up for the Friday meeting. Then I'll be on her turf.
You mentioned Lola's alarm bells? She's nine. I doubt she felt anything was amiss. And she's just so in love with Phillip. She'll do anything he says. And don't forget - so far she's been treated like a princess, in spite of what he has her doing.
I looked at that website. Thanks for the heads up. It's very comprehensive, and I have to delve into it tomorrow after I had some sleep.
My worry now is that I won't see Lola until at least Friday. For all I know, they have her working upstairs of that bar and just sending men up to her. I have no way of finding out. I'll just go back to the block tomorrow and keep looking.
Any input is much appreciated. Keep writing.
Cate.

Cate,

This is an insightful document. It may give you an idea as to why Phillip's mother wants the B.C.

Reminder: I'd like you to ring Phillip's mother about the B.C and ask her to get Lola to ring you, Cate. Remember, they can't shoot you for asking those two simple questions.

Belinda

Cate,
Have a few drinks, Dutch courage brings out wonders and I think you need it. I wish i was there with you. Then make a phone call to this f ucking trouble maker and ask her why she wants the birth certificate. Do it now and get it over and done with but do it long before Friday. Dealing with it now will bring relief, believe me. Then you'll have 24 hours to stew over it before you meet her and ascertain whether her request for it is legitimate.

i have grave concerns about Mexico and it's police and drug cartels. for this reason, ask Phillip's mum that she get lola to ring you tonight.

I cannot understand why Lola's alarm bells weren't ringing when Phillip's mother came to your place and took her away before threats were made against you in her presence.

As it is, there won't be much left for Lola after Mr and Mrs ten cent take their cut, police, Phillip, his brothers, mother and s ex room hire.

I just hope Lola gets sufficient cigarette money to help her through because undoubtedly there will be a honeymoon period in all of this.

Belinda

Belinda,
There's no way Lola could pass for eighteen. No way. I'm sure it's something else, we aren't seeing. The fact she wants a certified copy of her birth certificate troubles me greatly. She already has all the records from school. What can you do with such documentation? I'm beginning to be very frightened. I'm not sure what my options are, if any, and I won't go to the police. I can't get away from my feeling that the authorities are involved with this woman is some fashion that makes their every move legal, and they are, at the very least, untouchable. Something I'm just not seeing. I'm afraid when Friday comes, I'm going to be blind-sided in some totally unexpected manner and I'll have no way to fight back. Belinda, I'm so very frightened.
Cate.

Cate,
I just rang Rick. He said it's his guess Phillip's mum wants to photocopy the birth certificate, change the date of birth to purport Lola is 18 and then present that as proof of age. He said when he was in the insurance industry, the insurer accepted a photocopy of the original birth certificate as long as it had the words "This is a true photocopy of the original produced to me". Then it was signed by a Justice of the Peace.

F uck Cate, I don't like this one bit, you can't trust the b itch and it's Rick's further guess that the police are in on this as well.
Belinda

Belinda,
Cate here.
I just returned from the DMV and i have my new license plates.
I also received a telephone call from Phillip's mom. She requested that I meet at her home on Friday afternoon at 2 pm.,and would I please bring a certified copy of Lola's birth certificate. She did not elaborate further, but I am quite apprehensive about her request. It seemed more in the nature of a demand and I should not be late. I agreed to be there, as I seem to have no choice. I wonder what she has in mind.
Get back to me when you can.
Cate.

Cate,
Ring Phillip's mum and ask for about her MOTIVE for wanting Lola's birth certificate. If you're not happy with her reasoning then don't f ucking give it to her and don't go there. This is getting too f ucking messy for my liking. Ask her to have Lola ring you first. This can't be all their way.
Belinda

Belinda,
By the way, I phoned my employer and said I wasn't feeling well (true). With all this caronavirus issue, he told me to take the next two weeks off with no problem.
I feel better about not having to worry about my job as well.
Off to the DMV.
Later.
Cate.

Belinda.
It's early morning here in Arizona. I slept like ** last night.
I'm going to go out again this evening to see if I locate Lola. Maybe she was booked for an "all-nighter", but I doubt it. It just seems a bit soon for that sort of thing. In a manner of speaking, she still in a "probationary period". I doubt that Phillip's mom would turn her loose that soon. She made it very clear that she had big plans for Lola. She very crudely put it to me, "that little pu**y is going to make us a lot of money. She's very valuable. If she does what she's told, she'll be treated very well". I only hope that's true, but her disappearance has me seriously concerned.
Your comment about my license plates is a good suggestion. I think I'll see to that today. It'll give me something to do.
I'm going to take shower, and go take care of those license plates. Then, this evening, I'll go back to "the block".
Later.
Cate.

Cate, get back to me.
Belinda
