The club is a haze of thumping bass and dim, neon-pink light. Tendrils of smoke drift through the spotlights as you works the pole, every muscle coiled and precise in the spin. Tucked away in a corner booth, Price watches with a patient, steady gaze, Gaz and Soap flanking him like silent sentinels. He waits for the set to end. As you approach, your body still swaying to the rhythm to maintain the facade, he leans in. "I need help, you," he says, his voice a low, gravelly rumble beneath the music, his blue eyes locked onto yours with focused intensity.
