YM778.TV Chapter 1008 - Chaos Nightclub (1)
That evening, Sarah and Aiden reached a residential building which is across the street from the \'Chaos\' nightclub. Apartments facing the street on the fourth floor belong to the army of Chaos (of course, under a different name).
Sarah and Aiden observed the crowd gathering across the street from the window. A long line of unusual people. Some are in smart suits like businessmen, others in leather jackets like bikers, a group toward the beginning of the queue looks like hipsters… a strange sight. Yet, everyone wants in.
Security personnel at the front door is explaining something while pointing at the \'GUN FREE ZONE\' sign. Queued people are not happy about it, but they must comply if they want in. It is almost funny to see where all they are reaching into in order to get their weapons out. The club has a locker system, so each customer gets a ticket with which one they can claim their possessions on the way out. Sarah knows that Eve is scanning them and sending \'OK\' or \'Not OK\'
messages to a tablet which is held by one of her men at the doors."We don\'t care about sticks and knives.", Sarah explained to Aiden the security procedure at the entry. "But guns are not allowed."
Aiden approved. She thought of everything.
"We own number of buildings in the area.", Sarah told Aiden. "Seven buildings have an underground connection to the club. Club has seven hidden doors which connect to those underground passages. At this point, only me and generals are familiar with all the paths. Eve is securing the area, but just in case if they manage to plow through, we can escape undetected."
"That is why the renovation took so long?" Aiden noticed that they acquired the club on the first week, and the club is opening just now. Two months for a club renovation is too long.
Sarah confirmed his thoughts. "It took two months to obtain those buildings and to connect them to the club."
Sarah and Aiden went to a suite in the basement, dressed up in black outfits, put their masks on and headed through the passage behind the metal file cabinet.
Two minutes later, they were in the basement of the club.
Two of them took the elevator to the second floor from where they headed to the main VIP room. On the way there, they passed several members of security personnel, all of them are members of the army of Chaos.
For tonight, they didn\'t organize any attacks. Eve will take care of the defense and Noah arranged five units of five people each in strategic locations, in case human intervention is necessary. Other members of the army of Chaos are in the club tonight.
At the sight of Sarah and Aiden entering in the main VIP room, Noah stopped talking to the handler and approached them with a greeting. He provided them information about the current status and the guests present before returning to talk to the handler. Noah didn\'t stay long, he left the VIP room and headed to handle other areas of the club.
Aiden silently admitted that Noah is useful, but he will not say that at loud.
From the main VIP room on the second level, which is separated from the others, Sarah and Aiden observed the crowd which gathered below. Their generals are by their side, they arrived through different passages. The idea is that no one will see them when they arrive to the club, or when they leave. There is a private room where they can change into \'regular clothes\' and mingle with the guests undetected. In addition, the main VIP room has a one-way view: they can see outside, but people from outside can\'s see who is in.
In the middle of the ground level is a caged fighting arena, around it is an open standing area, next outer layer are tables and chairs and in the back are booths. On the left side from the main entry is a long bar.
The second level has a number of VIP rooms. A standard feature.
The whole club is designed to look futuristic. There are occasional laser shows that follow the music blasting between the fights. Dark grays walls are used to project what is going on in the fighting arena, as well as the statistics of the fighters.
Many people pre-registered as participants even before knowing what the fights are for. It seems that some just like smashing others and they don\'t need a reason. And in this setting, they might get some glory.
Sarah leaned toward Aiden while explaining: "Besides what you see, for the customers we have two private rooms in the back which can be rented. Few bosses like to gamble in private while enjoying security which we provide here. Security personnel consists mostly of locals, but we have several our members mixed in. Tonight, the security is tighter because it\'s the first night, so we have more of our army members present."
Sarah pointed with her chin to the man sitting behind control desk on the right and continued: "Handler is from our ranks, Noah picked him. The ladies who are serving drinks worked as strippers in this club before we closed it down. With good wages, benefits and an agreement that they get to keep their tips, they accepted. Also, we promised that this job is serving drinks only. If any customer gets handsy, we will protect them. All our employees get an option to stay in the one of apartment buildings that we own for a fraction of the rent they would pay if they stay anywhere else. It provides them with a sense of community and at the same time they keep an eye on each other outside work hours."
Aiden listened to all this and admired Sarah and everything that she put together so far. She came up with all these additions which will ensure that people are loyal to her. Who would not want an affordable place, close to work which provides good benefits?
Sarah glanced at the time. "It should start soon."
The lights dimmed and a spotlight landed on a man dressed in a flashy pink and red outfit which shimmered.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it\'s my pleasure to welcome you to Chaos!", the announcer started his speech. "As you noticed at the entrance, we have no weapons rule. And for the club, that is the only rule: no weapons! … Pay attention to the gorgeous ladies who are here to serve you drinks. And keep in mind that they are here to serve you drinks only! No matter how alluring they are, always remember this rule about our friendly staff: serving drinks only! If you break our rules, you will pay the penalties determined by our management… Now for the purpose of this club…" The announcer explained that in the arena they can freely challenge each other and fight it out. Who wins ten fights without a loss will get an opportunity to become a champion and that brings certain benefits which include an interview to join the army of Chaos.
"We are all aware that most of you came here because you want to know more about the mystery organization which is causing waves through Los Angeles and beyond... the army of Chaos! This is your lucky night, because the woman behind it all, known as the Mistress of the night, which we call Boss Nyx, is in the house! But she is not interested in talking, at least not with words. If any of you wants to challenge her to a duel, now is the time! …"
