Security at the famed Kallisti was a cut above the hired brawlers some of the other establishments in the area. They had an eye for troublemakers and felt no need to prove themselves by intimidating their customers.
Tony, Veso and Hans were left in peace as they entered. It was a pleasant surprise that put a small smile on his face. The owner was clearly astute in their trade. The club was sleek and clean with fresh air only tinged with the usual scents associated with a place like this.
Tony immediately noticed the waitresses and dancers. First for the obvious reasons. No man could ignore beautiful women dressed for seduction, some were just better at controlling it. However, they caught his attention for a second, much more interesting reason. The drunken patrons worshipped the fine women, but there was none of the excessive groping that usually came with the territory.
"A bit tame,"
Hans quipped.
"Shut up, you idiot."
Veso said with a fond smile. He had taken Hans under his wing in their time together and they acted like a father doting on his mischievous son.
The apprehension eased in Tony's mind. The Kallisti revealed much about it's owner, and it showed him that she was shrewd, smart enough not only to hide her power, but thrive.
However, Tony was nothing if not thorough.
Making his way through the crowd he approached an empty table. It was not long before a buxom waitress with lovely liquid brown eyes came to take their order. Tony would have spent more time appreciating the woman, but as it was he was just relieved it wasn't Claire. That would most definitely have been awkward.
"What can I get you?"
the woman said with a winning smile.
Tony ordered a light beer and tuned out as the other two soaked up the atmosphere. At his expense, of course. He was nothing if not generous to his comrades.
Christ, what am I becoming? Tony thought to himself. Veso and Hans could still enjoy a night out. He saw shadows in every corner and bullets behind every door.
