Nox paced around the back of the club. He could walk the floor like the girls, but his job wasn’t to entertain, at least not necessarily — he could, but right now he wasn’t exactly in the best mood. And he kept an eye on the feeds while he could. That was his job — security. Though most of the others were far bigger and far better at the job, his unique talents still made him ‘boss’ for now. For as long as Carmen wanted it that way, anyway.
He watched the small girl at the front door with Mike. He stood in her way and she looked perturbed. But not as perturbed as the people she’d cut in front of. Lines mattered unless you were VIPs. And there were a few of them that walked past the line.
A voice sounded in his ear. ”Hey boss. This girl says she’s here because Raffe can’t be here. For you.” While it wasn’t common knowledge he and Raffe were having troubles, there was a sort of tension where everyone knew exactly what was going on. It was a family, and they all cared. For both of them.
”Ever seen her before?”
”No. But I don’t keep track of every girl who comes and goes and likes you pretty boys.”
Nox smirked. ”Let her in, but take her name, like she’s on the list.”
Nox doubted Raffe would send anyone to support him if he couldn’t. He’d tell Carmen to relay the message, most likely. So this girl was up to a game, but she at least knew how to tug at all the right strings to make Nox want to meet her, even if it was to call her on her lie. Or maybe it meant what it was, but honestly, Nox didn’t think so, and Sage would have fun with a new name. And since he was coming here, all the better for the visual clues he might need.
Nox watched on the screen as the exchange happened. He took a quick picture with his wallet he held onto tightly while he waited. It was his lifeline, and he wasn’t about to let it go until he had to go on stage, but he had no pockets in his costume.
The girl looked even more annoyed. He checked her name off the list and jotted it down before he lifted the velvet rope for her to pass, even though she was on the wrong side of it.
”Boss only name I got is Visha.”
”Thanks.”
Nox sent the picture and her name to Sage.
What can you dig up on her? gave the name Visha.
Sage would do way more work just trying to figure out who she was. Nox was pretty sure Aurora used Sage on the downlow when they were kids. She was too good at information sometimes. Not that she wasn’t good at hacking — but Sage was far better.
