you.”
     
    I sat down across from Backbone with my plate as Dio wordlessly left, exiting into a backroom where I noted he often went.  I could only assume it was the private quarters the club kept in the casino for doing the real business that the casino masked.  My hope was to make it into that inner sanctum very soon.
     
    “I’m going to head up to the bay after we eat.  I need to handle some club business.  I’ll drop you off at your place on the way and then see you back for your shift tonight.”
     
    I noted that it wasn’t a question, but a statement.  It seemed that I was already becoming the property of Backbone and I still wasn’t certain that it was a good idea.  Then again, it might be a great one.  This was all too new to me to know if I was doing it right.  Backbone was close to Dio and that just might get me close to him too.  Whether it be directly or just by virtue of knowing what Backbone knew once I gained his trust.
     
    “Sounds good.”
     
    “There are some important people coming in tonight.  People Dio wants to have a really good time.  I’m going to give you some party favors for them but they can go to the other girls if they want to get laid.  I’ve got plans for you.”
     
    “What sort of plans?”
     
    “The kind that are putting that huge smile on your face right now.  I thought we would skip the room tonight and go back to my place.  I have a few things there you’re going to really enjoy.”
     
    “I’ll just bet you have.”
     
    I was a little frightened at the prospect of being outside the casino with him, but I told myself it would be fine.  There seemed to be a thoughtful side to him, despite his dominant proclivities in the bedroom and his brutish work habits.  I really didn’t think I had to worry about him hurting me.  We finished our breakfast making small talk and then left together on his hog.
     
    “This is where you live?”
     
    He was surveying the tiny little house I had rented for next to nothing.  The paint was peeling and most of the fence was on the ground or in disrepair.
     
    “Yeah.  It’s not much, but it will do until I get on my feet.”
     
    “Rough neighborhood.”
     
    “It can be.  Thanks for the lift.  I will see you later this evening.”
     
    “You sure will.”
     
    I had rented the house more than a year ago when I first started planning my infiltration of the Leathernecks MC.  I couldn’t risk it being found out that I lived in a suburb on the nicer side of town.  I’d gone through some rather seedy channels to get fake identification and rented the place with cash.  Anyone checking into my background would hit some dead ends that I planned to explain with a violent ex.  Oldest story in the books to be hiding out from some maniac you used to bang.
     
    I suspected that Dio had already checked out my story to a large extent and I had covered my tracks just as far as possible in hopes that he wouldn’t take it too far.  There was only so much I could do without full police backing.  I had one DEA officer in my corner who wanted the Leathernecks as much as I did.  He was my sole contact and hadn’t been very thrilled about what I insisted upon doing either, but he would do what he could to help me as needed.
     
    The first thing I did was take the longest shower of my life.  Though a part of me had enjoyed the sexual encounter with Backbone, I still felt like some sort of whore that had taken up work in a local brothel.  I supposed it was something I’d have to get used to in order to get through this, but I just didn’t see how I ever could.  The worst of it was that I knew I might well have to sleep with more than just him to fit in.
     
    After my shower, I went into my closet and pulled loose a board beneath a stack of shoe boxes that hid it from sight.  I removed the journal there and made some notes about my observances from my first day.  There wasn’t a lot to say of any worth just yet, but
