Lenny scrunched against the wall to let in a group of six or seven already drunken members of a college fraternity.

“I can’t give you five up front,” said Lenny.

“Then fuck you,” said the doorman. “Hey, you’re supposed to be this band’s fucking agent and manager. What kind of guts have you got behind them if you won’t even put up a lousy fucking five hundred dollars? You don’t think they can pull in a hundred lousy fraternity jocks from across the street on a fucking Friday night?”

“Sure! Sure I’m behind ’em two hundred percent. It’s this up-front shit I don’t want to deal with.”

“Then fuck off, cheapskate, and leave me alone to make change.”

Lenny glared at the doorman and manager of the club, and then walked off, muttering.

Cassandra finished off her drink and signaled for another. She wondered what she ought to do: tell Rocco and Apple what she’d overheard, silently offer to lend Lenny the five hundred dollars, deal with the manager of the place herself, or simply do nothing at all. She sipped at her second drink, still considering the business, when her attention was drawn to a table nearby. A college student stood up suddenly, knocking his chair over behind him. His friends around the table were laughing. The college student lurched to the side, and threw up into the lap of the girl who was sitting next to him.

It was then that Cassandra decided to say nothing at all. One night’s profits, and radio and print exposure, did not weigh sufficiently against the uselessness of such an audience as this.
