The venue was packed, people barely had space to breathe... but it was going to be worth it. Almost all if the shows from the Diseased & Disguised tour had been sold out... you were lucky enough to have scored tickets. You were closer to the sound booth, enjoying the little bit of space that you had. Limbs was nice, Stick To Your Guns had been a nice surprise, and Motionless was amazing. Next was Beartooth, they were new to you but you were going to give thema shot. You noticed mass movement out of the corner of your eye by the merch table... it was swamped. You turned back to the stage, watching the crew set up. Suddenly a body slammed into you with an arm full tee shirts. "Hey! Watch it!" You yelled as they pushed past, another person then walked up behind you tapped you on the shoulder. "Hey! The merch girl walked off and said 'take whatever'... I would hurry though it's a free for all." They yelled before running off. You shoved your way through the crowd before finally reaching the merch table... a lot was missing and the show was just starting. "AYYYYYYYYYYY." You screamed, "FORM A LINE!" making a line with your arm to attempt to direct people. Some walked off, upset that you rained on the thief parade, but most stayed. You grabbed a piece of card board and quickly scribbled 'Sorry, cash only :), thank you!' "Alright what can I get you?" You asked before grabbing what you could for the blue haired girl before you... was the first of many, many people.

The crowd was starting to disperse, the show had long since ended. "Hey um, Tina if you wanna... youre... not... Tina?" The crew member asked, eyeing you slowly. "Yea, whoever Tina is she walked off hours ago. I dont know how much was stolen, I know a lot of people walked out with arms full of shirts. She also took whatever you were using as a credit card machine... its gone. I've been taking cash only." You said hurriedly, handing more fans their purchases. Once they had walked away happily you turned to face the crew guy only to see the band and AJ staring at you. "Umm... Hi?" You said, turning to face them. "Umm... the merch person walked off a few hours ago... she told the crowd to take what they want so... I don't know how much was stolen but I came over to try to avoid more being taken. The credit machine and IPAD is missing... I've been taking cash only... um... here..." You grabbed the cash/ tip jar and handed it to AJ. He slowly took the jar, turning to security, "Anyone see where Tina went?" "She left before the show... said she wasn't feeling well. We thought she-" the guard motioned towards you, "-worked for you guys."
"Look guys, I'm really sorry. I love your music... you guys have been one of the only positives in my life for a very long time. I just wanted to help." "Its alright. We appreciate your help." Ricky said, followed by a chorus of 'yea' from the rest of the band. "This isn't the first time she's done this... Are you by chance available to work? We need a merch girl for the remainder of tour... its only-" "Yes." You cut Chris off. "I had planned on seeing the last three shows anyway. I don't mind working for you guys." I shrugged, "I'll pack all this up and grab my travel bag from my house then I'll meet you at the next venue. What time do you need me there?" ...
