<strong><em>8:50 PM</em></strong><br/><br/>Eric's mind was closed, for the most part. He sat at a table in the VIP section, ensuring the lighting was to a vampire's taste. Luckily, he had some help. "Allison, are you sure? It's kind of dark." The lights glowed slightly brighter, causing the man to squint slightly. "Okay, okay. It was better before."<br/><br/>"That's what I<em>thought</em>you said." The tall, slender woman readjusted the lights and twirled her way to the table where Eric sat. "I thought you were wearing something nice."<br/><br/>"I'll change, I just have to play doorman for a while, at least until I shoot the boss a call that your buddies are here."<br/><br/>"For the last time, we aren't 'buddies'." She paused, sitting herself on his leg and wrapping a fair skinned arm around  Eric's frame. "Speaking of friends, I brought Anthony over. He's going to be running interference. If, for whatever reason, things go south, you'll have five cool headed vampires backing you up. Just so you don't get your ass kicked by anyone." She teased him with giggle and straightened his jacket's popped collar.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51XJmCAhuAL._SX342_.jpg</div></div><br/>"Vampires cheat, Ally. I can take any human asshole. But when you guys do your whole, 'I'm gonna use my inhuman strength to pin you to-" Eric was quickly silenced by Allison's lips pressing against his own, while at the same time her hands gripped his wrists and pinned him to the floor. He offered a silent struggle, not really returning the kiss, but he eventually gave up. Fighting Allison on anything ended badly no matter what.<br/><br/>"Like that?" She finally asked, helping him to his feet.<br/><br/>"Yea...like that. Which reminds me." He took a small note out from his black jean's pocket and handed it to her. "Since you came through, I decided to give you a little present. Go to the bar once the guests are pouring in, and just hand the 'tender this note." He offered her a quick smile and made his way down the stairs, leaving Allison alone to read the note.<br/><br/><em>Go ahead and give her the pack. And make sure it's the one I gave you, she's earned it.</em><br/><br/>"Son of a bitch," she mumbled to herself. "I get to eat well tonight."<br/><br/><br/>~<br/><br/><br/>Eric stood with a few other staff members by the door. It was time to open the door, and with the problems they seemed to be having recently, tonight had to be perfect.<br/><br/><em>"If it isn't, some of his friends were probably gonna get the boot,"</em>he thought to himself as they finally opened the doors.
