Shit I sla to shieldIt’s pouring, and I can barely see the entrance to the club through the sheets of water At least I’ a uniform today Small favors

Headlights cut through the rain, and I get a flash of the front door There are so The club doesn’t have any glitzy neon signs like most clubs do In fact, unless I didn’t know there was a club here, Iand that the full parking lot was being used by other businesses I’ve only been here once before forthe day So I didn’t notice the lack of signs

I give up trying to keep myself dry and sprint for the door There was a hway, so now I’m a half-hour late for my first shift I’ll be lucky if they haven’t already fired et inside Theup to a large two-story space I’ve been told that Club Deep owns the whole building, though I don’t knohat the upstairs floors are used for None of my business, anyway

The bouncer wavesit out the best I can I twist it up into a knot at the back ofto tie it back while I hurry down the stairs I should have worn better shoes and changed into the heels once I got here Lesson learned Shoes are the only things the club doesn’t provide

There’s a deep pounding through the walls Bass from the music I start to hear the sounds of people, and the stairs are lit up with flickering, colorful lights This place was impressive when it was empty and dark, so I’m excited to see it when it’s full of life

Handso across the club “It’s over there, entrance is behind the bar”

“Thanks” I wish I hadit isUnfortunately for me

The club is already busy, the dance floor packed with people under the rotating laser lights House h the crowd of people as quickly as I can I’ thatlate

I find the entrance exactly where he said it was, and luckily so out just then I use the opportunity to push inside the locker room The sounds of the club fade to almost silence behind e and co ready for the next shift, and a feaitresses scattered throughout

A harsh voice cuts across the room “Are you Andrea?”

“Yeah, that’s me”
