I announce that Tomorrow at 3 am an hour after the bar closes to the public on weekdays that we will have a quarterly meeting I sent that text to everybody. I got a text from Zeta, "I have an idea if you’re willing to listen."

"You have my interest"

"Can we make the meeting longer and just do Karaoke afterward? We have the equipment we can feed everyone, I know the mechanic shop can give everyone some white" and then another text, "and green. Give everyone a fun time for once, everyone just works most don’t communicate with the outside world much. Most make friends with each other and hang" and a final text, "out with each other, sleep with each other. We are an incestual family because there’s a social dynamic missing. Can we please have this night? -ZZ"

"Yeah, we can have some fun. -YY"

"Are we serving alcohol to minors?-ZZ"

"One alcoholic drink free to everyone this stuff gets expensive unlimited nonalcoholic drinks those aren’t that expensive. -YY"

"We can absolutely do that, we allowing BYOB? -ZZ"

"No, they can pay their 50% for drinks after their free one, unlimited free drinks if they are non-alcoholic. -YY"

"So we can do this? -ZZ"

"Yes absolutely. -YY"

"Sounds like we got a party. Should I tell everyone? -ZZ"

"Hell no, you wanna boost morale. Don’t tell them, let this be a surprise. -YY"

"Thank you so much, sir! -ZZ"

"Have a good day. -YY"

The hours fly by, I’m collecting what I need to and solving different problems as they come up. To include picking up Omega Jenny because her car would not start and she didn’t want to be late for the meeting. We party a bit in the car as I’m driving. Loud Spanish music, we’re both singing and dancing in the car. She’s smoking a blunt, but I choose not to smoke.

The meeting goes quickly, and I ask a general question to everyone, "Alright men, women, my favorite parts." I smile a little bit, "Are there any police asking too many questions?"

Someone speaks up, "No but I have something important to say about that."

"Alright, come up and address everyone."

"I’m trapped, I’ll just stand."

"Well, go ahead."

"I was talking with a police officer a few days ago the original officer that came here. And he told me how annoying this one really young police officer is. She gave him the lead of going to this bar because Alpha’s real name is popping up all over her screen, she’s looking for him. And they looked at everyone working at the bar."

"They look at the mechanics or gas station yet?"

"I don’t know the answer to that Gamma. I’m sorry."

"This is needed information. I thank you. Is anyone here a hacker in their free time? Or at least really good with computers?" A bunch of guys raises their hands, "ok, who can hack. We will be going into a police security system I have a message for her. If you don’t want to do that, you gonna teach me."

One person keeps his hand raised and realized he is the only one so he stands up. "This will be fun Gamma."

"Anything else from anybody? Anything?" I look around the room everyone’s eyes on me. "I have one more item of business for everyone to know, and you can thank Zeta Mary." People start staring at her and a few people who have been up all day yawn. "Zeta told me today that everyone is overworked and I found money in the budget for a little party. Right here right now. She decided Karaoke and I agreed. We got all 17 people who work here in the building right now, let’s get this rocking. I want my orders for food and drink to be last, handle the hard workers first." Everybody cheers and workers start getting orders, they don’t care that they have to put in a little extra work.

More time passes and many men and women sometimes in pairs sometimes alone, I could tell who was single and who was dating someone. Jenny grabs me by the hand and she cuts the bottom half of my mask without cutting my face. And I’m not given a choice in the song. I sing a duet song by Usher with Jenny. She likes that I tried and while I’m up there I go, I can better, let me choose my song. I let someone else take a turn while I’m looking through the songs, I choose one that I would do very well in. Hypnotize the moon by Clay Walker.

"Jenny get back up here! Sit right there." And then I start singing with everyone as the audience directly to her,

"She knew she caught my eye

And that was all it took

Ain’t it strange how forever changed
With just one look

The magic filled the night
She touched my soul like no one else
Yes, the way that woman made me feel
Left me talking to myself"

I hear Tyrone in the crowd, "Holy crap, nigga’s got pipes he’s got fucking pipes. I’m gonna help him out. I gotta."

"You better run for cover

You better hide your heart
’Cause once you start to love her
You know you’ll never stop

She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She could charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon

Once I held her close
I knew just where I stood
No, you never get a second chance
To ever feel so good

Then and there I knew
These words were etched in stone
If you can’t feel the power of
The greatest love you’ve known"

Tyrone joins me on stage and begins to be my backup vocals and accenting my voice with me rocking with me holding my shoulder, we were getting lost in the moment and I feel it made it even better.

"You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
’Cause once you start to love her
You know you’ll never stop

She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She could charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon"

I steal my first kiss from her and she does not let me go as I continue to sing anyways while she is squeezing onto me.

You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
’Cause once you start to love her
You know you’ll never stop

She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She could charm the stars
She could charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon.

After the music fades away Tyrone pats me on the shoulder and says into my ear, "get another kiss man. She will be yours."

I kiss her again and the world disappears from around us. And she says, "kiss and bite my neck." I oblige and after I bite her she pulls me into another room by my collar and we make out in private, I told her the limitation I had because I just now had my first kiss.
