“I’M NOT DOING THIS. It’s ridiculous.”
“You’re doing it. You know it’s a good idea.”
“Someone else can do it. It doesn’t have to be me.”
“It doesn’t have to be you. But it should be you. Quit whining.”
I frown at the older woman next to me as the elevator from the top floor
of our building hits the ground floor, and the doors swish open. “You look
like such a sweet woman,” I tell her. “But I don’t get an ounce of compassion
or coddling.”
She snorts as she steps off the elevator into the lobby that is now teeming
with people. “I used up all of my compassion in nineteen eighty-eight.
You’re too late.”
“No,” I say, my hand on her back as I guide her through the crowd of
people dressed in black and silver and hyped up for tonight’s game. “I
distinctly remember you being nice when I was a kid.”
“I was faking it. You have to be a real asshole to be mean to a kid,” she
says, giving me a grin.
I chuckle. I’ve known Valerie for thirty-four years, ever since my
grandfather hired her as his personal secretary. She’s one of the few people
who can make me chuckle. Or who can get away with telling me to quit
whining.
We step out into the fading sunlight. The Racketeers play at seven
tonight, and the crowd is getting thick outside the arena. I guide her through
the crowd and then hand her off to Bill, one of the security guards. “Take Val
to her car, please.” She doesn’t typically stay this late on a game night, and I
don’t like that she’ll be out in all this traffic, but while the fans are all coming
in, she’ll be going out so it should be fine.
“Evenin’ Val,” Bill greets her.
“Hi Bill,” she says with a smile. But before she heads off in the direction
of the employee lot, she turns back. “You,” she says pointing at me. “Go do
the promotion.”
“I don’t want to.” It’s not whining, it’s just a fact. I’m not a people
person. I might even go so far as to say I only truly like about three people on
the planet, and Val is one of them.
“I don’t know why we have to go over this every time,” she says with a
sigh. “It’s part of your job. You have twelve VIP tickets to hand out as a
surprise to fans.” She waves her hand around at the people milling about.
“How hard can that be? You’re going to make twelve peoples’ nights. That’s
so nice.”
I roll my eyes.
She shakes her head. “Go. Do it. And yes, you have to smile.”
“Dammit, this just keeps getting worse and worse. I’m leaving before you
tell me I have to actually talk to them too,” I say.
“Nathan William Armstrong,” Valerie says. “You find twelve people who
love this team, you walk up to them, smile, say something nice, and give
them those fucking VIP tickets, or I’m not bringing you any tortellini soup on
Monday.”
