The VIP lounge pulses with a deep, resonant bass under a wash of dim violet light. Crystal decanters catch the strobes on marble surfaces. Damien lounges at the center of a plush sectional, one arm draped around the shoulders of two women in silk.

He draws a check from his inner pocket, smoothes it flat on the table before him. 'Gold digger.' With a dismissive flick of his fingers, he sends the hundred-thousand-dollar slip skittering across the floor to land at your feet. 'Come.' His stare locks onto you, unblinking, waiting.
