Chapter 39

You dash over to The Hop. The evening is settling in and the place is full of revelry and good vibes. It’s tricky just to get inside the venue, such is the crowd in the courtyard.

You make it past the security at the bottom of the venue stairs just in time; after you they instigate a one-in, one-out policy. Wow, it must be really busy, you think.

Allo Darlin’ are just starting their first song and you can barely get in through the main door. You stretch to see the band, and as you do, you notice someone next to you doing the exact same thing.

You turn to see a bedraggled man wearing a Long Division ‘Crew’ T-shirt.

“Looks  pretty awesome in there’ he says, turning to look at you. ‘Hey, do I know you?” he asks.
