CHAPTER 20
I scanned my contacts, not that there were many, and called Nadir. He was slower to pick up. That reminded me of my brothers as my screen filled with his radiant face. He hadnât groomed his facial hair today, but he had rolled the ends of his mustache up into villain points. âHello, little girl,â he said in a predatory voice and gave me a wicked smile.
âHey, Nadir.â I couldnât help but smile at him. He was like some vaudevillian character. I resisted booing him, but only barely. âYou are in a good mood.â
âI am now. I know you are safe. And you are safe. I can tell that from Yasinâs dance around the room.â I heard Yasin in the background offer denials of the dancing, and Nadirâs acquisition of a Cheshire cat grin confirmed it. And then, with no lead in, he landed, âGo out with me. Let me take you out tomorrow night. Just us.â
I sputtered and then managed, âI canât. I mean, I would love to. Go out with you, that is. But tomorrow I have plans to go clubbing with two of my friends. If itâs not too much of an imposition, you could come with us. I mean, if you wanted to. Do you? Want to go clubbing?â
âHmm... well, as you know, I usually go clubbing in the VIP section of awfully expensive places. Where are you going?â
âTotem. Itâs nice. Not as nice as where you would normally go. But it is a native sound club, so they might not recognize you right off. And it would be amazing to have you there. And maybe Yasin would like to come? I can call up a few girlfriends, so you guys have people to dance with. And, not that you would, but it is karaoke night. So, a few of the excellent singers that frequent the club will sing, and itâs not karaoke the entire night. Usually, itâs lots of fun. And Usagi will sing for sure and sheâs good.â
âWill you sing?â
âI guess. I usually do.â
âI will come then. I will talk with Yasin to see if he wants to come. You realize we will have to bring Tony, Stockton, and Jim? It will be a large party.â
âThat should be fine. Between Lil, Usagi, and me, we can drum up some girls for you guys.â
âHold on. Tony, Stockton, and Jim will be working. No dancing for them. Unless itâs taking you out on the floor. But given you will be my date, that is unlikely. And Yasin, if he agrees to go, will be,â and he mimicked Yasin, working in the virtual space that flowed everywhere in the city.
âI will send Stockton for you and your friends say about 3:00? Then we can have you make sure we are appropriately attired. We will go out to dinner before the club.â He wasnât kidding about the date.
âUm, Iâll check with the girls.â
âI will call you at 11am then. Good night.â
âGood night. And sleep well.â
âI will dream of you, safe, in my arms.
