else this morning.” He said as he watched the flight attendant’s swaying backside as she walked towards the front of the plane.
Snorting derisively she pulled her ipod out of her bag, they must all think she came off the back of a turnip truck! Shoving the ear buds in her ears she cranked the sound to listen to Storm Front’s latest album, the album the tour was in support of. Richie Vierra’s work on the album was stellar but Jade knew she could handle it. She could handle it and more. She had been a follower of the band from before they broke through on the scene, had seen them play and knew all their work. She admired RJ’s guitar work and Trace’s vocals while Jimmy and Givens were solid on rhythm and bass. What she didn’t know was if she would fit in with the dynamic of the band. The guys had to be hurting right now and would resent anyone walking into Richie’s spot. Luis had given her the names of the three drummers the band had selected to stand-in for Richie and she had to admit they were all damn good at what they did. But she was better!
When they exited the Airport a silver Hummer limo slid up in front of them and she threw a startled look at Tag. What’s with the ostentation? Before she could even articulate the question she was helped into the vehicle by Tag and one of the bodyguards while the other deposited their bags in the baggage area then walked around to slide into the front passenger seat. No one said a word as they drove away from the curb and headed out. Luis and Diego had some serious explaining to do!
She gasped as she saw the front of the Hotel. It was solid with media, the paps and fans of the band.
“Holy shit!” She gasped. “I’m not getting out here, no way in hell I’m getting out of this rolling sin bin with all those crazies out there!”
The driver of the limo grinned as he glanced at her over his shoulder. “No problems Ms Gallado, we’re going to drop you in the parking garage in the secure area far away from the crazies.”
Stunned she stared out at the screaming fans as they tried to see who was in the limo, some of them running after them as they drove past.
“I’m going to circle around and go through the security entrance, when we stop I want you to stay put Ms Gallado. Wait until Tag comes for you.” The driver ordered as he guided the limo into the parking garage and drove towards the elevators. When he stopped Tag and the bodyguard in the front got out and cleared the area before Tag came back to the limo. He opened the door with a grin.
“Up and at ‘em baby!” He laughed as she snarled at him as she slid out of the limo while he scanned the area around them. Jade pulled the hood of the black hoodie over her ball cap with a snap of her wrists.
“I’m going to kill someone for this. I like to travel with no stupid shit like this. Where’s my goodie bag?”
“You get this gig you’re going to have to suck it up and deal Jay.” Tag frowned down at her.
“Mr Delgado is just being careful Ms Gallado. We’ve had some problems with info being leaked to the media but we will have it sorted very soon.” The driver, and named bodyguard number one as of this minute, rumbled in his deep voice as he handed the bag filled with her drumming stuff to her.
“Fine.” Jade huffed as she turned to Tag. “You know this whole stealth mode made us late, I won’t have time to change before the audition.”
She wanted to break his nose when he laughed. “You know as well as what I do that you have your practice shit on underneath those huge sacks you’re wearing. Why you like to travel looking like a kid wearing his brother's clothes I will never know.”
“Loose means comfort you ass!”
“Yeah, but there’s loose and then there’s you! It looks like you’re wearing my fuckin’ clothes!” He grinned at her as the other two men sniggered.
“Hah, I am wearing your
