Chapter 11

Gray clouds obscured the mid-afternoon sun as Eve and Cassie arrived outside their location.

It was a nondescript place, nestled between two factories including “REAL MEATS”, the frozen meat place Christian had mentioned, and which they had Googled easily enough. Still, the place would have been easy to miss if not for the obvious security guard standing outside a steel door.

The girls stared at him, confused. By the sound of things, they had thought the snitch would be standing around, not hidden inside a mysterious building behind a big steel door and an even bigger bouncer.

He wasn’t dressed like the usual bouncers found in the bars and clubs across the city. They wore pressed suits with polished shoes that shined. This guy was dressed in jeans and a jacket. It was only his rigid posture, the way his shrewd eyes cooly accessed the area that revealed his true purpose. No neon sign blazed above the door, and from where they were standing, they couldn’t hear any music either.

If this was a club of some kind, it was pretty disappointing.

Still, Cassie practically reeked of excitement, asking questions a mile a minute the entire journey here until Eve had had to tell her to calm down, though she was clearly still filled with excitement.

Cassie was super excited at being Eve’s wingman. Of all the girls, Eve was the one she had spent the least amount of time with. Though she didn’t look like the girls Cassie usually admired, she knew that under the layers of makeup, Eve was as good-looking as Marley. More than that, she had a mysterious air about her that Cassie found intriguing. Eve was literally the coolest person she had ever met. She didn’t care about being popular or looking like anyone else. She didn’t seem to care about money. She did her own thing. In Cassie’s world, she based so much of her self-worth on how others made her feel that Eve was like a goddess. One she wanted badly to impress.

Determined to show Eve how helpful she could be, she bounced up to the security guard, waving up at him.

“Hi,” she said.

His eyes flicked down to her before moving elsewhere. If she was put off by his reaction, she didn’t show it.

“We’re… we’re friends of Eric’s,” Cassie lied.

Eve tried not to show her shock at Cassie’s outrageous lie. They’d have to run with it now. The bouncer stared back down at her, taking in Eve too this time.

“Eric only had one friend and you’re not him,” he replied.

Eve felt a shiver at his words. Was he Eric’s snitch? He had obviously known Eric. She shot Cassie a look before turning her eyes back to him.

“You mean Christian?” Eve chimed in before Cassie could say something that incriminated them. “Tall, blond, good jawline, usually angry. Yeah, we’re buddies too.” She hoped she remembered Marley’s description of him correctly. They’d soon know.

The bouncer only grunted in response which they took as a good sign. At least he didn’t send them away.
