Chapter 22
After turning a corner, another large set of closed double doors loomed ahead of them. Daniel assumed that must be the doorway leading upstairs to the staff offices. As they got closer, it was easy to hear the low thrum of music coming from Break; the doors into the club itself were on their right and open. A tall, androgynous individual, clothed from neck to toe in what looked like priests’ robes, stood speaking to one of the staff members just outside the doorway into Break. Daniel watched as Clark smiled at a man who was nude save for a black G-string, and the man flashed back a grin and a little wave. “Coat check,” Clark said to Daniel as they turned the final corner. A counter spanned the width of the hallway, and a pretty girl with long black curls and a stylish suit smiled at Clark and Daniel.
“Hi, Sirs,” she chirped. “I need your cell phones, IDs, and signatures.” She pushed a pad of paper toward Clark.
