EXCERPT:
I shuffled through the throngs of chatty folks to slip behind the bar, wanting to get my booze and chill out for a little while before we hit stage, but was stopped by a pair of blondes.
“Hi,” they said in stereo with bleached-white smiles. The one on the left had a massive pair of—
“Take these girls’ order, boy.” Charlie paused with a handful of Bud Lights dangling by their necks between his fingers, before he popped the tops off with expert speed. He distributed them to the guys at the far end of the bar. I flashed my nicest grin at the blondes, the kind without fang.
“Pick your poison.” I gestured to the rows of liquor behind me.
“I’ll take a shot of Maker’s Mark and lemon water.”
“I’ll have what she’s having.” The blonde on the left favored me with a sexy dip of her chin and thrust out her chest. “We wouldn’t be opposed to having a bartender chaser.” They both had blue eyes. I licked the back of a fang and marked the one on the left as a possibility for later.
After I served them their drinks and was rewarded with a double shot of cleavage, I headed up to the private roof deck to have a smoke, drink my whiskey and get in the zone to perform. This was the reason I saw a procession of three identical black SUVs come up the rough road from the state highway and pull into the lot. They parked in a line and a litter of suited dudes got out that could’ve been extras in Men in Black. I ground my smoke out in the ashtray and returned downstairs to find out what the hell was going on. This was Pinecliffe, Colorado, and Pale Rider was a tavern off the beaten path, but worth it for the friendly local atmosphere and cheap beer. We didn’t have slick types like these goons coming out to the sticks to have a drink and shoot pool.
