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.”
My stomach
dropped. What the heck did I get myself into?
