At Craven, the VIP club on the top floor of the Vines, Aaron lounged on a white velvet couch, arms draped around two exotic dancers who made last night’s conquest look flat-chested and modest by comparison. One wore little more than a lacy black slip with garters. The other, the blonde, had opted for red. They were the entertainment at Craven, lingerie-clad waitresses with cat-ear headbands who crawled on top of the tables and danced every hour on the hour, ending curled in someone’s lap and purring. Aaron was trying to flirt with the blonde but his heart wasn’t in it. He couldn’t get Zoe out of his head. First time I saw her, she was calling some thug a fucking moron and kicked him in the balls. What the hell do I want with her? He asked himself. Everything, he answered without hesitation. For the moment, he was enjoying the live band and the company.

The brunette in the black garters brought him another whiskey. He thanked her with a white poker chip and stopped with the glass halfway to his mouth. It had to be an apparition, the combination of jet lag, quality alcoholic libations and the hedonistic thrum of the band creating an unwanted hallucination. It could not be that Zoe Daniels was wielding a handheld camera, stalking through Craven in a jean jacket and a scowl.

She barreled up to his table and stuck her hand in the blonde’s face.

“Hi. I’m Zoe Daniels, this guy’s camera crew. Care to state your name and occupation?”

“Sure. I’m Delilah, and I’m an exotic server. I wait tables and dance on them here in the VIP club. I’m a classically trained dancer, and I’d love to get into film or stage work if the opportunity arises. Let me give you my card.” Delilah produced a business card from her garter belt and handed it to Zoe.

“I’ll keep that in mind. I was hired by a fight club back in Massachusetts to follow the Dolan boys on their excursion to Nevada and document their progress both in and out of the ropes. It’s like a documentary. Real life. Gritty. With upmarket accommodations, and, if I may say so from what I observed, some very talented strippers.”

“Thanks,” Delilah said as the music picked up, “That’s our cue.”

Delilah and her coworkers slithered onto the tables and started to writhe around like cats.. Zoe turned the camera toward them in fascination, and Aaron wondered if he could crawl under the table to escape. He had been having such a good time until Zoe came in to police him. She was like a bucket of ice water on his evening plans.

“Let’s get out of here before she coughs up a hairball,” Zoe hissed in his ear, taking him by the wrist and dragging him toward the exit.

“I wasn’t planning on leaving yet,” he huffed.

“Come on. She looks good, but you don’t want to get stuck cleaning the litter box on that one. High maintenance. Pretensions to act. Save yourself the pain.
