     , " This Deserves A Drink! For Your Best Job Yet!", Hardy said shaking my shoulders. Ray reaches in a big box, and pulls out bottles of rum, and whiskey. Martin grabs a bunch of glasses, and sets them down on the table.

     The reason why we have a lot of alcohol, is because Dan works as a Bartender in a underground bar. This bar is exclusive to only criminals, or scary people in general. I have a job there too, but a side job.

     Actually, me and Dan have to go there tonight, he has a shift, and I have to pick up the money, from killing Lenord. Glass after glass after glass, Ray kept pouring. I feel like I'm going to be sick to my stomach, I didn't even have any drinks, but this looks like a gross hangover.

     I noticed Randy was bleeding from his hand. I see Rusty rush over to him, " Randy, what happened?", he asked worryingly. " I just cut myself on some glass, that's all". Randy said with a smile. " just wait ", Rusty said.

     He rushed over to a wooden box to where we kept our supply of medicine and bandaids. He took a bandaid, and grabbed a bottle of alcohol. He took Randy's arm and drenched it with alcohol. " Ow!", Randy screached in pain. Rusty forcefully put the bandaid on his wound.

     He threw Randy a towel to wipe the alcohol, " be more careful next time", Rusty said. " I will ", Randy said with his puppy eyes. I take off my shorts and put on some pants, then I put on a black t-shirt with a leather jacket. " Hey Dan, want one?", Kevin asked, gesturing with his glass.

     ," no, I have a shift, and I dont want to get drunk...", Dan said crossing his arms. Dan was very mysterious, he was only thirty, but he was a stone cold wall. " Then how bout you Max? Just one for your great Accomplishments!?", Kevin said with a big smile, he is already a bit drunk.

     I look around, it was already dark outside, surprisingly the power in this building still works. It was dimly lit, but it was alright. I looked at Kevin in the eye, "... Sure... I'll take one ", I said walking up slowly, with a grin. " Atta Boy!", Kevin said, giving me a glass of rum.

     I take one gulp, and all of it is down, " ah ", I react to how strong it is. " don't get drunk Max... your up tonight", Dan said. " I know, I know...". I throw the glass, and everybody cheers, " Only Twenty One! And A Killing Machine!". Ray yelled. Me and Dan walk to the door, and everybody is still partying.

     Matt runs out with us, " I'll drive you guys ", he said with a straight face. " thanks Matt ", Dan said. Matt was a taxi driver. But he was a good one, so when I need a getaway driver, I go to Matt, he is a beast on the wheel. We all get into the old yellow cab. And off we go, we are headed to the underground bar called, The Red Velvet.

     This bar, or night club, is known for prostitutes, strippers, selling people, drugs, alcohol, weapons. Anything you can think of, this bar does it. Its where I get most of my jobs. The alcohol there is amazing though. I look off, outside the window.

     Looking at the great city. It gorgeous at night, the lights really do light up the state. I keep looking outside the window. Matt is looking at me in the rearview mirror. " good luck ", Matt said to me. I sit up, " yeah... I'm going to need it...". I chuckle to myself.

     Matt goes off course, and into a dark, dirty alleyway. There is a door brightly lit up at the end of the alleyway, that said Red Velvet. Matt dropped us off. And we head inside, but the bodyguard was in front of the door. Dan goes in front of me, " Hey Dante ", Dan said. " sup The Dan Man ", they shake hands and pat each other on the back.

     Dante opens the door, me and Dan start walking in, " oh yeah, nice work Max ", Dante said with his deep voice. I nod and just walk in. We walk down these creaky wooden stairs, until we reach a neon door. " Ready?", Dan said. I nod my head, and look foward.

     We walk in, and it was a very dark place. The walls were covered in red velvet, same with the furniture. The first have of the big room, was a bar, and a couple tables, until you reached a railing, which led to a ditch, where the dancefloor was. Couches were everywhere.

      There was a stage, that was a stripper stage, and cages everywhere, where male, and female strippers would do there dances. And the place was covered in pink, purple, and blue neon lights. There was a back, which led into separate rooms, all of them velvet rooms, that's where the strippers or prostitutes would do there job.
