He read the message before my screen went dark but took his sweet-ass time answering.
Kai: what do you mean?
Gray: do we still have jobs?
Kai: did nick tell you what happened?
Gray: you know that kid cant keep a secret to save his life
Kai: true
Gray: why the fuck didn’t you tell me?
Kai: because you’re hurt and need to focus on recovering
Gray: I also need to know if I’m going to be on the streets at the end of the month
Kai: I’m not sure what’s happening. Biggs said he’s working on something
Gray: like what?
Kai: no clue
Kai: but there’s a private event tomorrow I doubt they’d cancel that
I glanced away from the screen as the backs of my eyes twinged. Private events brought in a shitload of money for the club. Depending on what it was for, they could be lucrative for us dancers. That was good news at least.
When I’d asked Zane and River about paying them back for getting my car out of impound, they said they’d worked something out so no one owed anyone anything. I hadn’t asked what because with them, plausible deniability was usually the smartest route to take.
I’d done well last weekend, but the tips would only last so long. And my medical bills weren’t going to pay themselves. I needed to get back to work.
Kai: and stone is doing that promo thing on sunday. They’d be stupid to cancel that
Stone was the only one of us with any sort of following. He was a porn model and his OnlyFans was insanely popular. He’d been dancing at the club longer than I had, but he only showed up to work when he was the feature and we were basically there as his backup dancers.
Those nights were always packed so the club and Stone made bank. The rest of us, not so much.
Gray: that’s good news at least. Can you make sure I’m on the roster for sat and sun?
I wouldn’t make enough to justify working tomorrow too. This would give me an extra day to heal up.
Kai: no
Gray: why? You said biggs got me unfired
Kai: he did but you’re hurt
Gray: I’m fine
Kai: you have a concussion
Gray: a mild one
Kai: and a sprained knee and a fucked up arm
Gray: so?
Kai: how the fuck are you going to dance with half your limbs messed up? Not even you could pull off a routine on crutches where you just kind of wiggle around until you fall on your ass
