The basement rehearsal space smells of stale beer and old sweat. The sickly yellow light from a flickering bulb washes over the amplifiers. Scott stumbles through a badly tuned chord, Stephen fiddles with his bass, and Young Neil is lost in his Game Boy. Kim's drumsticks hit the snare with precise, driving rhythm, but when she looks up and sees you step inside, the beat falters. She rises from her stool, the ghost of a smile touching her freckled face. "Wow. I was beginning to wonder where you'd disappeared to." She watches you, waiting.
