Chapter 13

Denise

I'd done it. The whole night had gone better than expected. Since we'd gotten the tickets together, I'd met with the other guys from the forum before the show. We'd had some drinks and then got to the venue before the doors opened. I wanted to stake my spot at centre stage on the barrier. I didn't even drink that much because I sure as hell didn't want to move to use the toilet.

The two support bands were both kinda lame so I sat down because I didn't want my feet to wear out from too much standing. Just before FORSAKEN came on, I stood up and leaned on the barrier. The five of us stood with our arms linked so no one could push in. That's when I saw her. The red-headed witch decided to come out and mix with us plebs. If I could turn my eyes into lasers, I'd have cut her into little chunks with those beams. She thought she was so shit-hot. I recognised the other girl with her. I was pretty sure she was Brownie's girlfriend. I had no issue with her. She seemed sweet and she was with Brownie, which took her out of the running.

The two of them both had backstage passes, of course. That's when I got my idea. I just had to cut the lanyard around her neck and it'd slip right off. I'd get backstage, no questions asked. It might mean giving up my spot at the front but the sacrifice would be worth it for the greater good.

It was a long shot but if you don't risk it all, you don't win. And I sure did win. The stupid girl, it was like she'd never been to see a band play before, floundering around in the crowd. All I had to do was wait until she was distracted then snip the lanyard around her neck with my nail scissors. I never expected that to work. I thought she'd notice straight away. She got to her feet and, for a moment, her gaze drilled into me. I thought for sure the next thing she'd do would be check for her pass but she just skulked off. I shoved that pass in my pocket then pushed my way back to the front.

I sniggered to myself, hoping she was as careless with her love life. Then I could just snip Tex from around her neck with my nail scissors too.

The next test would be actually getting backstage. The security guys wouldn't be nearly as stupid as she was and, if she turned up, grizzling because her pass was gone, they might figure things out.

I shuffled through the crowd and positioned myself so that I was near the backstage entrance.

As soon as FORSAKEN finished playing, I rushed backstage, flashing the pass at security. They didn't even look twice. Suckers.

The band weren't even offstage yet and I wandered around, looking for the right room. At the end of the black passageway, there were a couple of doors and, at the very end, concrete stairs leading to who knew where.
