[QUOTE="talien, post: 5469244, member: 3285"] [b]Gothic: Part 1 – Heaven[/b] Housed in the upper floor of an old but exclusive hotel, the Camden Place, Heaven presented an impassive front to Brichester and the rest of the outside world. A muscular, unsmiling bouncer stood beside the doors. Jim-Bean smiled and nodded at the bouncer. "We're going to go right in if that's okay with you." It wasn't a question. The bouncer nodded back like they were best friends. The rest of the team filtered in behind him. Beyond the front door was a flight of massive steps covered with rich red velvet-like carpet. Gleaming, smoky, marbled mirrors covered the walls and ceiling of the ascending entryway, while sparkling chandeliers lavishly illuminated the passage. At the top of the stairs a slim, handsome youth waited to take the three pounds it cost to get into Heaven. The doorman wore black tuxedo pants and shoes and was shirtless--a black bow tie and tuxedo coat with tails covered his otherwise bare torso. Guppy blinked. "What kind of club is this?" "That kind of club," said Hammer. Jim-Bean muttered something inaudible to the doorman and once again they were let in. Beyond the doors was a cacophony of sound, color, and light. Lasers and lights flashed through the hot, smoky air, and the music was so loud that it thundered in their chests. Dancers swayed and twisted their bodies across the dance floor: willowy young men with silky hair; slim nymphs caressed their partners’ limbs; women whose hair, cut mercilessly short, bristled; tanned men with the muscular builds of sporting heroes. Around the sides of the room, leaning against the walls or secluded in the private shadows of booths, sat and stood spectators--the drinkers, the lovers, the observers. Hammer had to shout above the thunderous beat of the music to have any sort of a conversation with the bartender. Short and stocky, Sue Oates was a friendly, outgoing woman with short-cropped blond hair, and a dragon tattoo on her left arm. "We're looking for this kid." Hammer flashed a picture from OPERATION GOTHIC. "I remember him," said Oates. "He was a nice, quiet kid who spent most of his time out or three times a week. Friendly, but he didn’t seem to have any friends at the club." "So you spoke with him?" "Several times. I got the impression that he was terrified that his family would discover he was gay. I think he lost his best friend because he came out to him." "When was the last time you saw him?" "About a month ago. He met up with another Goth, don't know his real name, but I nicknamed him Skunk." "What did this other guy look like?" asked Hammer. "Kid in his late teens with black hair, white face with black lipstick and eye shadow. He dressed completely in black. I call him Skunk because of the white streak in his hair." "That sounds like every other clubber in this place," muttered Jim-Bean. "Do you know anything about Darklands?" asked Hammer. "Sure. It's a Goth club." She gave Hammer directions. "Hope the kid's not in trouble." Archive said something threatening but it couldn't be heard over the din of the club. Hammer paid twice the tab for the drink he never touched – he had learned to be cautious after an incident in a similar club in the States – and they left in pursuit of their prey. [/QUOTE]
