Chapter Eight

We had dinner at a restaurant a block away from the club.

“So,” I said, between mouthfuls of pasta. “Do you really think this is going to work?” I was still feeling pretty nervous about it all.

“It’s going to work. Trust me,” said Adam.

“There are cameras everywhere.”

“I don’t think the point is that we’re going to get away clean and clear with this. I think the point is that no one knows me, and once we’ve done this I’ll be gone. Like, they aren’t going to call the cops on me or anything, right?”

“But what if you wanted to come back here?”

Adam wiped at his face with a napkin. “That’s in the future. I’m thinking about right now.”

This was Adam all over. He’d only ever thought about “right now.” The future had always been something he couldn’t even imagine.

“It’s stealing,” I said quietly.

“I know it is. But they’ve been ripping DJs off forever. They tell everyone that the DJs get the door, but they don’t. It’s full-on Robin Hood, Rob.”

“I’m not sure they’ll see it that way,” I said.

“I’m not really worried about what way they’ll see it. I need to get paid.”

I didn’t like it, but I finished my pasta and tried to imagine it all working out like he said it would. I knew I couldn’t stop him. But maybe, somehow, I could save him.
