Raven can feel a sharp stabbing pain in her temple and knows that a migraine headache is just around the corner . Dealing with the Fire Chief over the false alarm was no cup of tea. The only savior was the fact that a majority of the soaked patrons have stayed and are enjoying themselves , like they say the show must go on .
She stands at the balcony railing and watches them dance and gyrate on the dance floor below, wondering if tonight’s cover charge will cover tomorrows cleaning bill. But then again she could sock some of that to Blackout seeing as it was his fault. But then again maybe he can work it off by shoveling the snow in the parking lot , lease he can do if he wants to live on the roof.
Just then she feels a pair of hands run up her back to her shoulders , where they start kneading out the tension knot that has formed there.
Knowing the familiar touch Raven leans back “ Mmmmmm I got your message that ye were back in town , been wondering when ye’d stop by.”
Flipping back a section of her long wet hair , Marc whispers in her ear” You know that they say anticipation is the best part.”
“ I can think of other things that are better ......(she smirks and then looks at the crowd below ) Will you look at them , I canna believe those fools are having that much fun .their clothes are ruined and their all soaking wet.”
“ As I recall you’ve had fun when your wet Raven.” Marc says as he wraps his hands around her waist and turns her around to kiss her .
Rayne stalks her way over to Raven “ Am I the fucking whipping boy tonight? First you and now that schizophrenic shit head .What the hell is up. .”
Raven cocks her head and looks at Rayne” Maybe we’re trying to tell ye something ye really need ta hear.”
“ God I just wish you would quit fucking around.”
“ Oh I can assure you that will come later .” Marc pipes in
“ Ye wish! “
“ Oh come on it’s been months , and I know it’s been getting to you .” Marc says as he plants kisses along Ravens neck
“ Like you said , its in the anticipation.” Raven fires back
“ Jesus Christ !!! Can you get laid another time .”
“No “ they both answer back.
“Rayne go home , dry off and calm down. Things will make sense to you in the morning.”
“Yano I thought you were a professional .”
“ I am Rayne , that's why I hired ye and that's why I’m pushing ye now and telling ye the truth ...now go home.”
Turning on her heels like a petulant child Rayne exits the bar and hops into her 93’ green Ford Taurus. She jams the key into the ignition and violently turns it , the radio blares as the car starts up. Tapping the wiper arm she watches as the wiper blades move to and fro scrapping the frost off the windshield. She mindlessly starts to play with the radio buttons , finally stopping at a local heavy metal station . Leaning her head up against the steering wheel she listens to songs as she waits for the old car to warm up. And even though its been over done at this point one song breaks through her mental fog.
Give me the sense to wonder, to wonder if I'm free. Give me the sense to wonder, to know I can be me. Give me the strength, to hold my head up, spit back in their face. Don't need no key, to unlock this door, gunna break down the walls, break out of this bad place.
Can I play with Madness? The prophet stared at his crystal ball, Can I play with Madness? There's no vision there at all. Can I play with Madness? The prophet looked and he laughed at me! Can I play with Madness? He said you're blind, too blind to see!
I screamed aloud to the old man, I said don't lie, don't say you don't know! I say you'll pay for your mischief, In this world, or the next! Oh then he fixed me with a freezing glance, and the hellfire's raged in his eyes, He said do you want to know the truth girl? I'll tell you the truth! Your souls' gunna burn, in a lake of fire!

“Mother fucker!!!! This is bullshit , fucking bullshit!!! I’m not crazy . I know it . I’m stressed about a fucking match that’s fucking all . Fucking stressed over a match with a mental mind fucker whose only fucking talent is subliminal intimidation . Fuck it just fucking fuck it fucking all. “
Rayne drops the car into gear and floors the accelerator causing the car to fishtail out of the parking lot and into the night .
Meanwhile back inside ......
Marc has followed Raven back to her office where she has changed into dry set of clothes .
“ So is Rayne your protege ?” He enquires as he leans back into one of the chairs that flank her desk .
“ I guess by now ye can say she is. I didn't intend that when I hired her , but the lass has had a few ser backs. If she sticks to her guns she's gunna make it and be something to contend with. Much like yer Widowmaker .”Raven answers as she sits on his lap , circling her arms around his neck.
“ I’m surprised you hired him. “
“ Surprisingly I didn’t , Steve did .”
:” I can tell you one thing . I don’t like who he’s aligned with ,and I can say this . If those boys are still in New Orleans when that Nor'easter hits Saturday night their matches are forfeit cause Steve is not going to spend any money digging out to get there asses to the venue.. And I’d be more than happy to fire someone , but ye know that from CWF.
A look of confusion passed over his face “But Steve hates me, I’m kinda taken aback that he hired Widowmaker.”
“Its simple Steve hates anybody that's screwed his sister, Widowmaker hasn’t screwed his sister yet.”
“ Raven!! “ A jealous gleam comes into Marcs eyes
“ Relax a chuisle mo chroí..I was just joking . But I did see tha tattoo on his chest and I must say the way it tapers down does make one lass wonder......”
“ Raven !”
“Aye?”
“ I think its our turn to leave now .”
“Canna take the teasing can ye a ghrá mo chroí “
“ Grab your coat you infernal woman .”Marc says as he throws her off his lap.
“ Oh you think that’s gunna get ye anywhere tonight?” Raven smiles back as she grabs her coat and purse.
“Maybe , but luckily I have other ways of getting what I want .” He opens the door and ushers her out of the office and down the hall.
“ I have just one more wee thing ta do.”
Taking a spare set of keys out of her purse she hunts down Blackout .
“ Here’s the keys to the roof lock up when yer done.”
Blackout- “Hey those aren‘t the clothes you wore before . Geez you guys are quick , like rabbits I tell ya.( Blackout stares at the keys for a moment, and then gets a big Grin on his face.) "I . .I . . .I HAVE A HOME AGAIN!"
Then as Raven and Marc turns to walk away he says . ."And Don't worry Rave . .When I'm done Everyone in this City’s gunna Know . .Blackout Lives on your roof!"
“Well I can tell you the Fire Dept already knows yer here . Be careful , and I mean careful Blackout.”
“ Mwhahahah you too..... Remember Marc if ya don’t want to be a daddy you better wrap that fatty .”
