speak to the bouncer. He let her in without a word. Pausing hesitantly, she entered with a small nod to the bouncer who reminded her of a bigger, older version of Jack. Out of the corner of her eye she could see curious and semi-angry stares aimed her way but she put them out of her mind and focused on entering the building gracefully.
                  Music greeted Norah’s eardrums as the thumping feeling of bass thrummed through her whole body as she progressed down the stairs into the basement club. She suppressed a small giggle at the tickling feeling of her nose hairs reverberating from the strength of the vibrations coming through the wall. The walls under her hands were smooth cement as she steadied herself, climbing downwards, trying not to trip over her own feet. Passing through the doorway, the room in front of her was gigantic and matching the title of the club. She was still up on a raised area, making it easier to see out over the crowd and it was massively crowded. Techno beats filled her, raising the hair on the back of her arms. Not knowing what to do with herself, she just stood there, peering out, waiting for something to happen.
                  “Miss Norah? Please come this way.” A man who looked like staff touched her elbow gently, leading her through a door that looked to be a closed off section. It led to the VIP area with beaded, curtained off seating areas. The man took her to one that seemed to be in the center with a view of the bar directly in front of them and the stage off to the right with the DJ booth above that. Inside sat Dawn, Summer, Jack, and two other men Norah hadn’t seen before. Jack got up and greeted her with a gentle hand shake and a happy smile. He was the only inviting one of the lot.
                  “I’m happy you could make it! I almost though you wouldn’t.” His smile grew wider as she moved closer inside of the booth and he make space for her to sit down at their rounded table. From where she sat, Norah could see out onto the dance floor but not to the alcove where she had been standing. How could Jack have known she had arrived? There weren’t any monitors in the beaded room that could have alerted him to her arrival. “Everyone, this is Norah. I spoke with you about her circumstances. Norah, would you like a drink? The head bartender makes a mean cosmopolitan.”
                  Not sure of what to say, Norah nodded yes as she looked around at the other two men at the table. One of them was an older black man. From what she could see of his shirt, he wore a white tunic with closely cropped hair and gold earrings. The other man appeared older as well. He had tanned skinned but Norah couldn’t tell if he was Hispanic or white. His style was more of the hip-hop persuasion as he was dressed in Boy London fashion. They both looked at her with the same hungry expression with which Dawn had first done. Both Dawn and Summer had looks of nonchalance on their faces, as if they didn’t care one way or another if she was here. They practically ignored her, both leaning close against each other and looking down at the dancers below.
                  After the drink Jack ordered for Norah arrived, he began to finally get down to business. “Can we see it? The pill?” Jack asked, holding out his hand expectantly. Norah obliged, rummaging through her small Moschino purse for the even smaller plastic container. She put it on the middle of the table for all of them to see it, noticing the flaring of nostrils like everyone at the table was sniffing it. “Are we agreed then? The blood is in the pill?”
                  “Agreed, however, it is not just blood. There is another substance inside that I cannot detect. Whether it is truly anxiety medication or something else, we would need to investigate further. Testing it would be a feasible but it could take some time.” The black man said, nodding his head
