The heavy bass pounded in his eardrums, surging through the walls of the establishment, throbbing against the soundproof ceiling where no doubt there was nefarious business being conducted behind closed doors. They ran two worlds within this one building - no one was innocent, and so one half of this world was reserved for the wicked, and another for the not-so-wicked.
Marco lingered in the realm of the not-so-wicked, although that was arguably debatable since there was a girl, most definitely underaged, batting her eyelashes and running her slender fingers down his arm, propping her head up in her other hand, tilting her head and smiling sweetly at him.
He wasn't sure if she was trying to charm him into playing her game of flirtation or if she wanted him to adopt her.
Thankfully she was dragged away by one of her underaged accomplices, and Marco could get back to business with one of the bartenders who only came by once a week, worked two hours on Thursday evenings and then promptly disappeared.
Leaning against the bar, elbows propped up on the counter, they spoke for a while, unusually quiet considering they had to talk over the music. Then Marco pulled out a wad of cash from one of his deep pockets and slipped it over the counter, concealed under his hand though there were no notable onlookers. He offered a smile and a 'thank you', patted his informant on the shoulder and picked up a drink before settling down in one of the seats, blending back in seamlessly with the other patrons.
