THREE MONTHS LATER

Kendra parked her car and took a good look at the club. The parking lot was riddled with potholes. The building’s facade showed some wear. The neon sign didn’t light up all the way. She figured the roof would have to be replaced in a few years.

She had planned to wait in her car until Jay arrived, but that was blown all to hell by the bouncer. He was a mountain of a man, well over six feet tall. He had probably played football at some point in his life. He had offensive linemen written all over him. There was muscle under the fat, and he seemed light on his feet. He was as ugly as he was fat. His face was acne scarred, and he had large round eyes. Kendra thought he looked like a giant Mr. Potato Head.

He motioned for her to roll down the window. "You can't sit here, Miss."

"I have an appointment with Ralph Boniface in about 10 minutes."

He shook his head. "Doesn't matter. The parking is mandatory valet. You have to turn over your car, and one of the boys will take care of it."

Of course.

Pay for the valet.

Pay to check your coat.

Pay the cover.

Pay for the overpriced food and drinks.

Tip the servers.

Tip the dancers.

Strip clubs were money sucks. That was the reason she was there.

"I'll do that now."

He nodded. "Thanks for cooperating. You meeting someone?”

“Yes.”

“A man?”

“Does it matter?”

He shook his head. “We don’t allow unescorted females. We’ve had some problems with women hunting down their men.”

Kendra laughed. “I bet you have. I’ll wait for him by the door, I promise.”

“Thanks. I’m Tiny, if you need anything.”

She smiled. “Thank you, Tiny.”

Tiny blushed. “You’re welcome, ma’am.”

She started the car and went to the valet station. She got her ticket and went inside.

The smell hit Kendra as soon as she opened the door. She had only been to a strip club once in her life. It smelled the same. Cheap beer and cigar smoke.

A man staggered over to her. His green outfit was at least ten years out of fashion. He reeked of cheap cologne and cognac.

“Hey, pretty lady.”

“Hi.”

“Come sit with me. I can buy you a drink.” He stuck his chest out. “A lady like you, I’ll buy whatever you want. Cognac? Champagne? Name it, I’ll make sure you get it.”

“I can buy my own drinks, thanks.”

“You

“I’m meeting my man here.”

He grinned. “I can wait with you.”

She moved closer to the door so she could catch fresh air when it opened. “You should go. He’s jealous.”

“I’m not scared.”

Jay came through the door.

Kendra kissed him, then whispered in his ear. “Play along.”

"Have you been waiting long, baby?"

"No," she said. "I got here a few minutes ago."

Jay looked the man up and down. “Can I help you?”

“No,” the man said as he stumbled away.

Jay smiled. “New boyfriend?”

“He’s not my type.”

He put his hand on her shoulder. “What’s your type?”

“Wouldn’t you like to know?”

“I would, seeing as how I’m suddenly your man.”

“I needed him to go away.”

“You’re not the kind of woman who needs rescuing.
