Chapter 46 The Devil Is Closer

• We exited, Alessandro leaving for the area in front of the club and Chase and I went to the back side of the club, to the rear yard. It was evident that the music was louder and getting closer; the bass as if resonated with the pounding of my heart.
• Chase worked the lock on the back door and we entered the building in a rush. The hall was poorly illuminated: the smell that reigned in it was of cigarette smoke and low-quality perfume. We advanced stealthily to and fro and, in our attempt to avoid being detected by the enemy, we remained on the lookout.
• We got to the main social part of the club and I slowly looked around the corner. It was quite crowded, there were gyrating Americans on the dance floor and there were half-naked ladies dancing on a pole being tipped by white men with dollar bills. That provided me with a rather creepy feeling, knowing that The Raven was running all sorts of illicit business here behind the scenes.
