I sat on one of the bar stools, deliberately choosing a spot that was a little quieter than the rest of the club.
The interior wasn't much different from other places I had seen before.
A long bar, a crowded dance floor, and a raised stage where both men and women were performing erotic dances under dim lights, drawing attention whether you wanted to give it or not.
I didn't move from my seat. I had come here with a clear purpose in mind. I had heard that if you stayed in one place long enough, people would eventually approach you.
So I stayed at the corner of the bar.
"Is this your first time here?"
The bartender's voice pulled me out of my thoughts as he set a beer down in front of me. I had been scanning the room absentmindedly and answered with a quiet yes.
"I see. You don't need to be nervous. Just relax and enjoy yourself."
I nodded.
For some reason, this felt more nerve racking than delivering drugs ever had.
