Flight Excerpt
We walked through the French
Quarter slowly, and I tried to take it all in. The music, the crowds, and the
atmosphere still felt surreal. Music spilled out of the endless bars and
clubs.
“Wow, are those people seriously
dressed up as vampires?” I asked, looking in at a dark bar on the corner.
Inside I watched a man and woman holding up a chalice and smiling with fangs
showing.
Levi laughed. “If you think those
people are weird, you’d be freaked out by the real thing.”
“The real thing? Very funny.”
“What, you don’t think vampires are
real?”
“No, and I’m glad they aren’t.”
“Why? Do they scare you?” Levi
stopped walking, and turned me to look at him.
“Does the thought of blood sucking
monsters scare me? Hell yes. Who wouldn’t be scared of that? ”
He laughed again even louder.
“Trust me sweetheart, in New Orleans vampires are the least of your worries.”
“What do you mean?” Something about
the glint in his eyes made me feel a little uneasy.
Levi’s face turned into a faint
smile. “I’m really glad you asked that.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You’ll have to wait and see.”
“Okay, listen, scaring me isn’t a
good way to get me interested, so if you have any weird tricks up your sleeve
just shelve them.” I wondered if this was the time to tell him I avoided horror
movies like the plague.
“No tricks, hon.” Levi pulled his
phone out of his pocket and texted a few times.
I continued my people watching. I’d never seen so many
middle-aged people laughing and partying before. It almost felt like the
twilight zone.
Levi slipped his phone back in his
pocket. “We’re meeting everyone over at Club 360.”
“What’s that?”
“The lounge on the top of the World
Trade Center down by the river.”
“Okay, is it a cool view?”
“Yeah, it’s got a good view.” Levi
laughed again and I had the distinct impression he was hiding something from
me.
“You promise you aren’t luring me
into some trap?”
“A trap? No. Let’s just call it a
new experience.”
I like the cover to Focus a lot.
