Chapter 71 High Stakes

• Julian disappeared into the crowd.
• Two hours and three drinks later, Sera had explored the four levels of the club. The level she started on was the main one. It had the dance floor and bar. The one above was the game floor. Several rooms were filled with people playing pool, or video games or gambling. She had spotted Julian seated at a poker table. There was a small mountain of chips in front of him. The top floor was filled with sex. Every unlocked room she peeked into had at least one couple engaged in some sexual activity.
• The basement intrigued her, locked doors behind which she heard moans, sighs and screams. The halls of the basement were deserted. She sat at the end of a hall for fifteen minutes. She wanted to know what was going on behind those doors. Her imagination gave her clues, but her curiosity wanted to know the reality.
