I had to admit it, these vampires really knew how to run a club. It had to
be the most bizarre place in the Big Apple, and that’s saying something. I
wouldn’t have chosen a vampire/Goth club myself, but Henderson’s ravings
about Plasma had won over Pella, and so I went along. Now, I had to confess
to some curiosity myself.
Of course the vampires weren’t real, but the owners had done a great job
capitalizing on the current nationwide love affair with all things vampire –
movies, books, and dance clubs. The Brooklyn building had once housed a
newspaper and the center of the building, where the printing presses had
operated, was open all the way to the ceiling, three stories above. The club’s
entrance brought you in on the second floor and a labyrinth of stairs provided
passage to the top floor or down to the bottom where the dance floor and
band stage were.
I sipped my Corona and took in the atmosphere. The walls were black
and most of the lighting came from red neon that bathed everything in a
bloody glow. Dark nooks and corners abounded, occupied with a strange
mixture of serious Goth and trendy night clubbers. The staff was uniformly
pale and etheric looking, an effect that puzzled me to no end. Our ‘vampire’
waitress had visited our table four or five times and I hadn’t been able to
detect a trace of white makeup on her face. Likewise, the club appeared to
only hire professional dancers as staff, since they all moved entirely too
gracefully to be regular clods like the three of us.
“Hey Chris, dude, here’s to six months on the Force and the end of
probation!” Pella exclaimed for the dozenth time, his slurring getting more
pronounced with each toast. I clinked my bottle to his glass, having to first
steady his hand. Pella and I had just finished probation with the NYPD and
were now eligible for full benefits.
Our host for the evening, veteran officer Scott Henderson, single and ever
the playa, was charming a pair of young ladies at the bar. He had waved me
over several times, but that wasn’t gonna happen. Bad enough that I was out
with my brothers in blue, there was no way I’d involve a girl in the minefield
of my life.
Pella had jumped into the celebration with both feet, pounding Bacardi and
Coke like water. I, on the other hand, was having a tough time relaxing, only
just getting to the bottom of my second beer. Something had me on edge,
maybe just the strange nature of the club. Any club would be strange to me,
having grown up at the top of New York State, right on the border of the six
million acre Adirondack Park. Not much opportunity for clubbing up there,
although I had been exposed to a little nightlife during my college years in
Albany.
