.He knewwhat he wanted, and that became immediately apparent as soon as you started to talkto him.At the same time, Gordon laughed a lot and wasn t afraid to admit the fewtimes he was wrong.It was the fortune of the Indigo Knights to have that kind of forceworking for them.Lance and Rabin chatted as they followed him into the room.Lance closed thedoor. All right, guys, Gordon began, setting his bag on the table before he unfolded itto get to his laptop. I hope you re all recovered from your time at Genesis. Indigo Knights 2: Champion 43 I m a new man, Lance murmured, turning a chair around so he could be seatedin it two feet away from Gordon. Hope he s an improvement on the old one, Noble said.In looks and demeanor, Lance Hoff was all that his best friend and roommate,Noble, was not.Where Noble was bright and flashy, Lance was almost monochrome.He wore his light blond hair long, often pulled back into a tail.His face was almosttriangular save for the jut of strong jawbones underneath each ear.His pointed chin wasshaded with light brown stubble, and his thin pink lips always looked slightly pursed,like he was thinking about something.Which he usually was, since he didn t talk much.Black was the foundation of his wardrobe, and he wore colors reluctantly.For all theirdifferences, however, Lance and Noble were fast friends and had a lot of respect foreach other.By the way their rhythms worked together, one would think they shared thesame heartbeat.Rabin stretched out on the couch on Danny s other side, feet up on the coffee table,hands folded behind his head. I m gonna get spoilt.That s two New Years I ve spent ina row there. Danny poked his side. Maybe next year it ll be you and Iz getting married there. Rabin s eyes went wide, but Danny didn t think the panic was genuine. Bite yourtongue. There are better things in the world to bite. Mmm& Noble leaned a shoulder against Danny s and talked across him. Amen to that.At least a dozen Izzy places spring to mind. Rabin pointed at him. Watch it, whore. Noble grabbed Rabin s wrist and wrapped his lips around Rabin s finger for aquick suck. What should I watch? He laughed after Rabin jerked his hand back.Laughing, Danny swatted both their hands away.Such girls, really.But he lovedthem.They were an unlikely quartet quintet with Gordon.And it was strange fate that 44 Jet Myklesthey were all gay or bisexual for Rabin and Noble but Danny took it in stride,attributing the coincidence to yet another sign they were destined to be together. Ladies, ladies. By now, Gordon had the laptop out and was perched on the tablebeside it.He wore a black sweater with the blue-and-white-striped collar of a dress shirtfolded neatly at his throat.He would have looked very businesslike if it weren t for thesmall feather earring dangling from his right ear. Let s get to the business at hand. Hegrinned. You have your first club date next weekend. A general cheer filled the room.Rabin sat forward, elbows on knees. Where? Club s called Jefferson Douglas.Don t ask me where the name came from.Gretchen knows the owner and pulled some strings to get us two weekends, two nightseach, two sets a night. Gretchen not only owned the management company for whichGordon worked, she was also Heaven Sent s manager.If she recommended it, there wasevery reason to believe Jefferson Douglas was worth their time. I checked it out lastnight.Not a bad size.Full bar and a dance floor, although the stage is minuscule. Is it a pay gig? Danny asked. Respectable.We get the door, and club gets the bar.We re responsible for ourown promotion, but there s typically a good crowd there.College not too far away, soI ve already set up some marketing.Mainly this ll be practice in front of a liveaudience. Fuckin -A, Noble murmured, bouncing in his seat.Gordon nodded agreement. Now, about space.Today s our last here.Hell s got aband renting the studio starting this weekend.But he and Brent continue theirgenerosity.They ve said we re welcome to use their private studio at their place. Hegrinned at Rabin. It s nice to have a man on the inside. Rabin chuckled. Hell s promised me they ll take it out of our hides eventually. Well, until then, we luck out because of them.Lance, Noble, you remember howto get there? Indigo Knights 2: Champion 45Lance nodded, or as much as he could nod with his chin resting on the backs ofhis hands. Sure thing. Noble shrugged. I m catching a ride with him. Lance looked at Danny. You need transportation? Would be nice, Danny accepted.Noble and Lance were living together in amuch nicer apartment building that wasn t all that far away from Danny s.Brent andHell lived far enough off the grid that he couldn t just take a train. We re all set, then, Gordon decided, closing the laptop. I talked to BruceNoche, and he s available for sound.Gretchen s agreed to loan us two interns asroadies.You can meet them next week. He nodded toward the equipment along thewalls. Hell s got a guy who ll come to transport the instruments to their place, so if youwant anything with you before it goes, tonight s the night to take it.Anything else? How s the club tour stacking up? Noble asked. Still working on it.I ve got feelers out from here down to Atlanta and out to NewYork.Nothing solid yet, but it s looking good.Made some good contacts at thewedding, so that helps
