Hannah always had a hard time getting into the clubs. Even though she was 21, she looked 19, if not younger. Sometimes it was tough to convince them even after seeing her valid ID.

Tonight she waited in line at the Torque Round club, fanning her face with her ID and wondering what kind of trouble she would have tonight. She’d never been to this club before, and decided to give it a try. It was a hot night, so she was wearing almost nothing. A mini skirt that barely did the job; a white, scoop-necked t-shirt that gapped, showing off her smooth, flat belly and dainty pumps that showed off her long, shapely legs.

At the same time, a tall, dark fellow worked his way to the front of the line, stopping to chat with this person and that. He finally stopped and talked to Hannah. He introduced himself as Mark, and said he could get her inside without her having to wait in line. She was suspicious of this older, but distinguished-looking guy, but welcomed the thought of getting into the club without an argument.

Mark smiled to himself when she consented to go in with him. “Come with me,” he said. He looked at her appreciatively, admiring her long, dark hair as he took her hand and led her to the front of the line.

“Hi Dirk,” Mark said as they neared the front. The bouncer nodded them in and they entered the dark, smoldering atmosphere of the Torque Round. The insistent beat of the music pounded their senses and Hannah looked around, wanting to take it all in. Mark pulled her along with him as he made the rounds; saying hi to people he knew, ordering them drinks, and making his way to a table in the back.

“Thanks for getting me in,” Hannah said uncomfortably, wanting to go off and explore the club herself.

“Sure, no problem for a lady as lovely as yourself.”

“I need to use the restroom.” It was a lie, but she figured if she could get away from, she could sneak back out of the restroom without his noticing and blend in with the crowd.
