Hunters

Night Work.

Chapter 1.

Picking up girls in bars had always been easy for Dani Andersen, because of her looks and it also helped that she drove a silver, Audi A3.

Saturday night, Dani got dressed for Club Fox in a black, Armani suit over a red lace set from Nahina lingerie.

The day before she'd dyed her natural chestnut mane platinum blonde and styled it in a faux hawk .

Posing before the gilt edged mirror in her bedroom, Dani thought that she looked like a rock star.

She was out the door by 10 p.m, and zooming in the hectic weekend traffic heading for the club with Tekno's "Pana" blasting on the stereo.

The club was packed.
Colorful strobe lights pulsed to the rhythm of the chaotic, techno music.

The Asian twins , Cherry and Blossom, were gyrating together on the small and elevated stage at the center of the dance floor.

Their naked bodies had been painted silver and their asymmetrical bobs were dusted with silver glitter.

Dani bypassed the stage making a bee line for the roped off  V. I. P. room only to be stopped at the door by a large, bald bouncer.

A tribal tattoo snaked from the base of his smooth, pink skull and disappeared beneath the collar of his brown , leather jacket.

"You can't go in there without a pass." He growled.

Before Dani could protest the club owner, Carlo Mancini intervened.

"She doesn't need a pass." He said.

Carlo seemed to have materialized from out of nowhere like a sinister, shadow in his tailored black suit and slicked back red hair.

The chalky, pallor of his skin contrasted strikingly with the vivid redness of his thin, lips and hair.

He was wearing Versace shades.

"I'm sorry Mr. Mancini.
I didn't realize." The bouncer said respectfully.

"That's okay Dmitri.
Any one can make a mistake."

Dmitri lumbered away .

"New guy." Carlo explained and then leaned forward and whispered into Dani's ear. "The girl you're looking for is wearing a red, latex dress."

Dani spotted her a moment later draped across a purple velvet , divan against the mirrored wall.

The strapless, Etsy dress fitted her generous curves like a sheath and her pale face was a coldly beautiful sculpture framed by jet black curls.

Dani eased onto the edge of the divan.

"Hi, I'm Dani".

"Elena". She breathed the syllables of her name seductively.

"Can I buy you a drink?"Dani asked.

Elena licked her full bottom lip with the triangular tip of her tongue.

"I doubt that anything at the bar will satisfy my thirst". She said suggestively.

"Well I'm sure that we can find  something wet enough at my place". Dani drawled with a promising, half smile.

Elena's large, dark eyes glinted lasciviously as she looked Dani up and down.

Moments later she followed Dani into the elevator for the brief ride to the parking garage.

"Hot car". Elena delicately trailed her fingers across the glossy, paint job of the Audi.

"Thanks.
Now hop in and I'll show you how she drives".
