why the public adored the cocky actor, even if her husband clearly didn’t.
    â€˜It’s cool. Very. I’ve partied all over the world but I’ll spread the word. Now, is it you I see about getting myself a little wasted?’
    Amy nodded. ‘It sure is ... follow me.’
    She guided Grant to her office, raising her hand briefly on the way to gain the attention of a young woman standing on a mezzanine on the far side of the club. The action was slight but effective. The woman, knowing exactly what was required, followed Amy and Grant to her office.
    â€˜Grant, this is Lily Rich, a good friend of mine, part time DJ here at the club and the lady who owns the candy store, if you get my drift?’ indicated Amy.
    â€˜Ah, I see drug dealers are much prettier in Manchester than the ones I’m used to down south,’ smiled Grant, swaying a lot as he spoke, his voice more than a little slurred. Indeed, the woman standing in front of him was gamine in appearance with short, deep red hair close against her face and the largest, most inviting green eyes he had ever seen. She must have been about twenty-two. Her legs seemed to go on for forever, ending in a skirt barely an inch or two wider than a belt. She wore the tiniest T-shirt with a skull and crossbones logo on it and her face was smudged with a hint of make-up. To Grant, she looked strangely pure. ‘What an angelic beauty. So what are you offering?’ His tone was half-sleaze, half-drama, obviously bladdered.
    Amy couldn’t help but smirk at Grant’s use of the word ‘angelic’ – she knew exactly what was coming next.
    Right on cue, Lily launched into action. ‘Okay, cut the bullshit. I’m not interested in your flirty crap, Mr Big Shot Actor off the TV. If you’ve got the cash then I have the drugs.’ She stripped off her T-shirt and unhooked her bra, revealing a small yet perfectly formed pair of breasts, one with a pierced nipple. Grant’s mouth fell open. He’d worked in enough theatres and shared enough backstreet dressing rooms before his TV success to have seen a woman undress before but Lily’s actions still took him by surprise.
    â€˜What’s the matter, you never seen a pair of tits before? Don’t get excited. It’s just where I keep my stash.’
    She unzipped the back of the bra which had obviously been padded with her goods. She threw a selection of small plastic bags onto the table in front of the actor.
    â€˜I’ve got uppers, downers, Charlie, pills, Mandy, K and weed. I don’t accept sexual favours so if you’re thinking a quick bunk up in the bogs is decent payment then do one. Now take your pick ...’
    Within seconds the deal was done and a semi-frightened Grant had paid for two bags of coke. He watched as Lily stuck her hand up her skirt and added his payment to a roll of notes she obviously had hidden in her knickers. Tucking the roll back where she found it, she placed her bra and T-shirt back on and marched from the room. ‘See ya. Amy, if anyone else wants stuff you know where I am,’ she called cheerily as the door shut behind her.
    Grant was still stood open-mouthed as Lily disappeared from view. He was struck dumb for a number of minutes.
    It was Amy who broke the silence. ‘She’s fun, isn’t she? One of a kind. That was Lily Rich, but we prefer to call her ‘Filthy’ for obvious reasons ...’
    Grant had no trouble understanding why.

    A s Amy escorted Grant back into the club again she saw Riley seated in one of The Kitty Kat’s booths. The scowl that passed between her husband and the actor was obvious. Luckily for Amy, the smile Riley flashed her was sufficiently placatory to show that he didn’t seem to mind Amy fraternising with his childhood rival. The customer always came first. And besides, Riley was obviously busy.
    He was deep in conversation with a group of men who regularly spent
