wall and thankfully none of them went near the top table.
“We have six girls in total, including you and they too have all their own sectors. See the small Asian girl with the pigtails, she does the same sector as you but on the other side leading from the main staircase you see there, to the staircase at the back where you came in. Her name’s Akako.” He pointed to the staircase that I had first seen Dominic Draven and his bodyguard’s walk up to the other end of the wall where I had just come from. The girl I spotted was like a china doll, she wore what looked like a black school girl dress but then I remembered there was a name for people that dressed like her...what was it called?... Gothic Lolita, yeah that was it. She looked adorable until she turned around showing scary blood red contacts that were haunting to look at. She saw me drop my head and smiled an evil grin to match her dramatic eyes.
Karmun walked further round so that I had a clear view of the middle and he pointed out the other waitresses.
“Then there's the middle, which is split into three sectors. The parts that are not raised both have six tables that sit Mr Draven's more important clients.” He pointed around the large raised area that only had the one table in it, this one of course I knew well.
“You can see the girl with long green hair that's Zarqa. She covers the left side and the other girl with the short black hair that's Rue and she covers the right.” He continued and I wondered how I was ever going to remember so many strange names in one night. He pointed towards each girl in turn and I couldn't have picked a group of girls so different in all my life.
The one that worked on the left with the green hair was very beautiful with green eyes to match her sea coloured hair. She wore a black corset with green ribbon tied up each side. The black trousers she wore looked like leather and heels she had on made me wonder how she made it through the night without limping.
The other girl looked more boyish but the bust she had under her tight black T shirt proved she was just that. She looked like a punk skater with long shorts and army boots that reminded me of the ‘Avril Lavigne’ look, only she had short spiky black hair that was shaved on one side. I could now only see the back of her so didn't get a look at her face but I did however notice the blonde bomb shell that was dressed like a high end prostitute buzzing around the top table.
Karmun noticed me looking and continued on with his introduction to the VIP area.
“Ah, that's Layla and the other girl with black and red hair is Lauren but everyone calls her Loz, they both work the top table” I looked up at him sensing there was more he wanted to say.
“What, they have two girls for just the one table?” I said in disbelief, not understanding why on earth they would need two waitresses for what... no more than seven people!
“Yes and you are never to approach this table, if you have anything to ask then come to me first ok?” He said this in a firm yet steady tone. It was most definitely a warning but it just made me even more curious as to whom this man Dominic Draven really was.
“So there you have it, it’s as simple as that, just stick to your tables and you will be fine.” He walked back to the bar and I followed but as I turned I saw the back part of the room that was in the shadows.
There stood a pair of double doors that were even bigger than the ones at the front entrance. They were carved in what looked like the same hardwood, with the same family crest carved in each panel. Above, there was a stone arch that held them into place, this also had carvings but I couldn't understand the words nor did I recognise the language that was used. Unusually though there wasn't anyone guarding these doors. There was however just something about them that looked threatening and imposing, almost as if they took on a life of their own, something demonic that sent shivers down my spine.
