Dancing with the Stars

Chapter 29

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

Audrey Hepburn

So full of life, a huge smile and a hearty laugh.

Kendall was heading downtown to Nightclub of the Stars. It was downtown Los Angles. Kendall knows people in all walks of life. It's his way of life to know people. People that in the future can help him. The man he was going to meet could help him with Leroy. His name is Fred. He a good man, good at reading human nature. He acts wild and flamboyant but that's just for show. Vel was one of a kind knockouts. Someone that you would never forget. Kendall met Fred and his wife Vel at his club in downtown Los Angles. He was waiting for someone to come and give him some information about one of the producers that work with George. Fred introduces himself and told him that the club was his. He introduces Kendall to his wife an exotic dancer. She was beautiful at sight. A real breath-taking woman. So full of life, a huge smile and a hearty laugh. Vel was the most generous woman Kendall ever met. She works exclusive at Nightclub of the Stars but also had appearances at hot spots like the Idle Hour, Le Pussycat, and the Brief Encounter. Vel was very popular with the crowds. Vel was always dress in a racy two-piece costume with fringes and tassels. Vel has very shapely legs and knew how to show them off. When Vel smile at you, you forgot what you were thinking. Her smile always tantalizes him. Vel liked to design her own getups, eye-catching, revealing much but concealing just enough. Kendall parks his black Chevy Chevelle outside the club. It was night and the neon lady in a taunting red dress was shining so bright. It was on a corner between two streets. Danny the bouncer, was outside making sure the crowd was under control. Kendall crosses the street and walk up to Danny. Hi, Danny, how's it going? Is Fred in tonight? Danny shook Kendall hand. Sure, thing Kendall go right in. He spoke. A tall man smoking a cigarette yelled; Hey why does he get to go in and we are left to stand here waiting? Kendall turns and look at the guy. He wore a cheap suit, and a blond chick was holding his arm. Kendall steps up in his face and quietly whisper because it's how I'm dressed. My $500 suit vs your $20 suit. It's my damn given right now fuck off. The guy step back and mumble his apologies. Kendall patted Danny on the shoulder. Got your hands full tonight. Said Kendall. Danny laugh, nothing I can't handle. Danny opens the door for Kendall. Kendall went down a short hallway and enter the club. It was pack. He found his favorite spot and order his drink, scotch on the rocks. He mentions to the lady that serve his drink that he wanted to speak to Fred. She smiled and said sure thing honey. Vel was singing. Kendall sips his drink and let Vel voice flow over him. Her voice was heavenly to is ears. He could sit here all night listening to her voice. The place was pack with people just the way Kendall like it. Everyone was too busy having a good time to notice anything else. Fred walks over and sat in front of Kendall. Kendall shook his hand. Hi Fred, how's it going? said Kendall. They chatted about the club while Vel was singing in the background. Kendall sips his drink and listen to Fred. He put his drink down and look at Fred, Hey I need to ask a favor of you. Shoot said Fred ask away. Kendall passed newspapers clipping of the ladies missing.

You really think he involved? asked Fred. Kendall said yes. Kendall needed Fred to find out if what his gut was telling him was true. Fred said sure thing and put the clippings in his suit pocket. Vel came up and Fred stood and gave her a peck on her cheek. Lovely singing my dear. Here sit let me get you a drink. Said Fred. Fred went to the bar to order a drink. Well hello Kendall. Said Vel. Kendall stood and kiss Vel cheek always so beautiful he whispers. He waited tell she was seated to sit down. They chatted while Fred was getting drinks.
