Chapter Seven

It was supposed to be Jackson’s night at Indulgence, but he found himself needing to concentrate on Bliss more often now that Alex Babcock had pulled his little stunts. He’d spent lots of time with the bartenders discussing all the current drinks they offered, what was ordered the most often, and what they could do to improve both the taste, appearance and the price. The bouncers had gone through extra training and meetings with him so that Jackson could make sure they all knew how vigilant they needed to be and what to do in certain incidents. Now, he was watching the Villainous Ravens set up onstage, about to play their first big show. It was early in the night still, barely past dinner time, but the place was already packed.

“This is going to be great,” Damien said at his elbow. He had his arms folded in front of his chest as he watched the stage hands wheel in the drum set. “Looks like all those flyers you put out have been effective. Bliss is even more packed than usual.”

Many of Damien’s bands had played at Bliss, so he would know. “I think you were right about Blane’s sister being a big attraction. He’s huge right now, and I don’t mind riding his coattails as long as I get a hot new band that only plays here. Aqua doesn’t stand a chance against me, not if they’re as good as you say.”

“Oh, they are. They’ve worked really hard. I had to actually kick them out of the studio the other day because I didn’t want them to get burned out before they’d even started. As soon as they went out for pizza, they came right back with new lyrics written on napkins. They’re the real deal.”

“Is Blane coming by to see the first show?” Grace Jones, Ally Sheedy and Rosanna Arquette had dropped in already, and the rumor was that Emilio Estevez planned to make a stop at the club later. It was like the clientele from Indulgence was spilling over into Bliss, and Jackson couldn’t complain about that.

“Jane, his sister, said he’s shooting tonight. But he should be in later, even if it’s after their set.”

The singer in question bounded onto the stage with her band behind her. She wore her bright red hair short in the back, with longer wisps of curls falling down over her face. Her tube top, fluffy tulle skirt, and numerous bangles gave her the edgy look that most fans were looking for, and Jackson smiled. Damien had come through for him once again.

The first song was a cover of Tears For Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” but the Villainous Ravens put a harder, more powerful spin on it that the crowd went nuts for. As they began their second song, an original, Jackson noticed a familiar face weaving through the crowd. “Excuse me for a minute.”

He joined the newcomer and brought him to the bar for a drink on the house, where the music wasn’t quite as loud.
