It felt freaking weird to be in an Uber. Moreover, to be in an Uber alone with my sister. Only two weeks of living in the hotel, and already Nico’s insane over-reliance on security was rubbing off on me. I kept checking around me to see if we were being followed, like a cornered animal running from a predator.

I couldn’t believe I let her talk me into going out. I guess defiance was a powerful thing. After hearing Sadie was staying the night in Nico’s suite, there was nothing I wanted to do more than defy the top Gentlemen. I wasn’t about to sit in Sophie’s room with Thai takeout and listen to…whatever happened through the wall. I gazed out the window, watching the city lights blink by, and frowned. I knew the truth: I wouldn’t be doing this if I wasn’t jealous. Yeah…it wasn’t my brightest moment.

Fuck it. After today, we deserved a bit of fun. Plus, I was fully loaded: two blades strapped to one leg, and a pistol to my other. Sophie practically shook with excitement in the seat next to me, and that somehow made everything better. She looked perfect as always, her lavender hair giving her an irresistible party girl look. With our matching brightly colored wigs, we looked so alike it was almost scary. It would be easy to mistake us as twins.

We pulled up to a plain industrial building down by the river. The exterior looked like a warehouse or an airplane hangar, except for the packed parking lot and the huge flashing red and yellow sign that read: Absinthe.

“Here we go,” Sophie said, flashing a huge white smile.

She paid the driver and scooted out of the car. I followed, my eyes darting all around the packed parking lot. The line to get inside wrapped all the way to the back. It was going to be body to body in there.

I grabbed her arm, and she spun to me. “We stick together.” I dropped my voice low, but clear. “If you find a guy, make him come home with us. No following anyone back to their place.”

“Jesus, Rae, you sound exactly like Nico.”

I choked on my laugh, then the mortification set in. Fuck. The hell with that. We were here for a good time and we were going to get it. When we reached the bouncer, Sophie handed him her two VIP passes.

His face went white. “This way, Ms. Esposito.” The beast of a man’s voice held a slight tremble and he wouldn’t meet our gaze as he quickly lifted the velvet rope.

I grabbed Sophie’s arm as soon as we were inside. “What the hell are you playing at, Soph? Esposito?”

“Relax. It was the only way we were getting in here. A North Side club? Come on, we couldn’t use our own names.” She smiled wide. “And it totally worked. You should thank me.”

I should’ve known when she mysteriously came up with these too good to be true tickets. I was about to rip into her, but my words were cut off as soon as we entered the main area.
