Workin' For The Man

The Dive never really got crowded until the weekends, but they had s steady stream of people coming in on weeknights as well. As the club's promoter, Theresa dealt with the reviewer from the local entertainment rag in addition to trying to book new acts. All in all, things were looking promising. With summer nearly here, the college crowd would have more time and money to spend in places like this.

The vampire was nursing a beer on the patio. She had thought of suggesting they start serving something stronger, but she hadn't gotten around to it yet. It sounded like the latest set was wrapping up. She checked her upper lip for beer foam, hauled her slight weight off of the bench where she'd been sitting.

Summer in Las Vegas might man the days were long, but the nights usually made up for it.

Theresa laughed too. For one thing, why not, and for another, she wasn't about to be immolated. At least Maddy didn't have a boyfriend, as far as she was aware, anyway.

"Yeah, Dane used to talk about that stupid show," she said. "One f the drawbacks of looking like this forever is that I'll probably always get carded. Eternal life without booze would be wayover-rated."

“I get it, too,” Maddy said and shrugged. It was easier just to whip out the (supremely fake) identification card before anyone asked. “I don’t mind looking young. But it’s kind of insulting to be carded by someone thirty years younger than you.” She stretched her arms over head and let them fall. “Listen, I gotta head back inside. I left Joey by himself. He’s probably drowned in a toilet bowl by now.” The blonde got off the picnic table.

"Yeah, I gotta get inside too. I figure no one's broken their ass since nobody came out to yell for me, but I need to make sure the singer for that last band isn't sucking up too much free beer."

Theresa stepped aside so Maddy could get past her, then followed after her. Party foul aside, the chances of getting to know the human better were looking good.
