Kate possessed the music as much as the music possessed her.  She was in her element with her hips swaying and her bare arms raised over her head.  Her hands and fingers undulated in the current of air pushed by the music.  Her eyes were closed.  Her smile sublime.  She moved in harmony with her own natural beauty.  She was one with her Goddess.<br/><br/>A strong pulsing beat hammered the room as the dancers swayed and leapt with primeval energy.  Kate was swept along like a leaf on a river.  The music never stopped.  The DJ spinning one song into the next without pause.  Kate opened her eyes slightly.  She looked entranced as she spun in small, tight circles.  She saw Billy standing not far away.  He too was caught up in the ebb and flow of the current.  She arched her neck and smiled.  She spun again and found Cryptangel swaying before her.  Her friend grinned and held up a bottle of vodka she had carried out onto the dance floor.  The two girls closed the gap and began moving together in a dance of abandonment.  Cryptangel locked her eyes on Kate’s and placed one hand on her hip.  They danced in unison, eyes locked as though they were the last two lovers on earth.<br/><br/>Cryptangel lifted the bottle and Kate threw back her head and opened her mouth.  A stream of vodka flowed past Kate’s full lips, and then Cryptangel drank from the bottle herself.  As the two women danced closer, Kate wrapped her arms around Cryptangel’s neck as she fed her more vodka.  She laughed as Cryptangel drank the last of the bottle and dropped it to the floor.  Then she kissed her full on the lips and Kate returned the kiss with a passionate hunger that caused some of the dancers around them to watch in envy.  When the kiss ended Kate’s face and eyes glowed with an unmistakable willingness and desire.  But Cryptangel broke it off and pulled away slightly in a tease.  Kate followed when Cryptangel held up her hand.  She was holding something in her fingers.  Kate, buoyed by the alcohol, followed that hand like a dog begging for a treat.  She pleaded with her eyes and clasped her hands together in a prayer.  Cryptangel relented and dropped a small blue pill in Kate’s mouth.  Then the two girls kissed once more and parted ways.<br/><br/>Kate moved back onto the dance floor and prowled among the pulsating bodies.  She was searching, scanning for Jeffery.  She needed his permission to roam; to act on her instincts and to fulfill her desire. She turned and saw Billy following.  She smiled but seemed not to recognize him.  She found Jeffery standing with a group of well dressed, clean cut business types.  Brokers, bankers or both.  They were having drinks and talking as best they could among themselves.  Jeffery glanced up and saw Kate coming toward him.  He said something to one of the men and they all turned to watch her approach.  The drug was starting to kick in but Kate drew herself up and, head high and smiling she approached her target.  Jeffery held out his hand and she took it.  He drew her in close and held her arm behind her back as he introduced her to the men.  They each smiled at Kate and gave her the once over.  Then Jeffery held her face in his hand and kissed her in the most gentle and kindly manner.  He smiled and released her saying something as he did.<br/><br/>Kate flowed back among the dancers.  The dance floor became the embodiment of chaos.  Here were the swirling galaxies of the universe.  The order of things and the movement of atoms as each individual became like a billion stars revolving around a central core.  Kate was the black hole; the “Dark Angel” sucking in all light and energy and expending it in a super nova of sexual rage.  She opened her eyes and headed for the door.<br/><br/>Billy followed.  Like a scientist he wanted to observe, formulate, take notes and reach a logical conclusion as to the cause and effect that was his niece.  Kate left the first floor dance floor and crossed the lobby.  She touched people as she passed them as though she could sense their level of passion through her fingertips.  She smiled at one or two males as she made her way towards the staircase leading to the upstairs dance floor.  She waved at Max who was standing at the bottom of the stairway watching the crowd.  He smiled back.<br/><br/>Kate lifted the hem of her gown as she climbed the stairs one step at a time.  She watched her feet and paused half way up to regain her balance and focus.  The drug now held her in its grip and she blinked against the brighter lights of the lobby.  A moment to survey her surroundings then move on.  Billy followed.<br/><br/>She was just reaching the top of the staircase with Billy close behind when Billy felt a tap on his shoulder.  Turning he was surprised to see Jeffery standing on the step behind him.  Jeffery held out his hand.<br/><br/>“I’m Jeffery Canter.”  He had a slight Southern accent.  “I was wondering if I might have the pleasure of buying you a drink Mr.…?”<br/><br/>Billy turned and watched Kate disappear into the crowd at the top of the stairs.  Jeffery followed his gaze.<br/><br/>“I wouldn’t worry about Angel.”  He said.  “She’ll find what she’s looking for.”  He grinned.  His teeth were as white as a movie stars.<br/><br/>“Come I’d like to show you something you might find interesting.”  Jeffery turned and headed down the stairs…<br/>
