‘Oh god will someone belt Joey down before he does himself a mischief?!’ exclaimed Paul as their tour bus drove straight into the main drag of Las Vegas. The neon’s were blazing, the women wore clothes at least three times smaller than the rest of the population, tourists posed for photos outside the massive casinos and hotels, and young Joey Jordisson was beyond excited to be there; his first trip to Vegas.

‘Hello gorgeous!’ he shouted from one of the windows as they passed a showgirl stood outside a hotel in her full dress costume, promoting a show on at the venue behind her.

‘Hey baby’ she chirped back to Joey, his head forced sideways out of the window of the bus.

‘Okay who’s got his leash and muzzle?’ laughed Corey, grabbing Joey by the ass of his jeans and hauling him back through the window.

‘Someone remember the name of that hotel, I have to go back there!’ he shouted excitedly, getting more hyperactive by the second. The next stop on the tour was a venue just on the outskirts of the centre of Las Vegas, right next to the Nevada desert borders. They would play the next day so in the mean time while all the equipment was driven down to the venue the bands were dropped off at their hotel. As soon as all had checked in and found out who they shared rooms with they took a tour of the vast lobby (complete with a 20ft waterfall that ran around the lobby and out into the pool) and gift shops before heading 17 floors up to find their rooms.

‘I’d hang out of the window to smoke that bud, you know how weed smoke sticks to fabrics and we at least have to try and be good for David on this tour’ said Jen as Jade pulled a pre rolled joint from her pocket and lit up. She didn’t care much for rules, the room was stipulated smoking and in Jade’s mind that meant weed too; nowhere did it state what you couldn’t smoke. And the David she was referring to was the notoriously lovely man David Geffen, boss of their record company who had warned them about their hotel room trashing before the tour had begun.

‘Well I ain’t going to break anything this time. I think my days of throwing TV’s out of the window and jumping through glass coffee tables are over’ laughed Jade as she lit up and pulled one of the giant windows open, feeling the Nevada heat hit her as it filled the central air controlled room. Jen smiled and went back to getting her things organised out of her suitcase. There was no point in unpacking so she just grabbed her wash bag and book and took them out, leaving the rest to sit there for whenever she needed fresh clothes. Removing the small first aid bag she took with her everywhere Jen then began to spray her sore and slightly blistered hands with antiseptic. Even though she wore gloves drumming took its toll on her palms and fingers, and spraying an antiseptic across the sores healed them nicely enough for her to grasp her sticks comfortably, in her usually tape bound hands (to cover said blisters).

‘You wanna bang on this?’ asked Jade, holding the joint out in her lifelong friends’ direction. Jen took it and smiled, seating herself opposite Jade and scratching her shaved head as she watched the lights flash from the casinos below.

‘It’s time like this I almost wish I was bald too, god it’s hot!’ said Jade, playfully scratching Jen’s short stubbly head as the pretty drummer laughed and batted her hand away.

‘Speaking of hot things, what did you get up to with Jim last night then lady J? I did wonder when both of you were a no show at the club, and I wasn’t the only one to comment on it!’ said Jen, reaching out for her bottle of soda and holding the joint between her teeth as she undid the tight cap.

‘We talked, and that’s it before you start making things up in your head and getting all excited! He’s a really cool guy, just normal and down to earth like me. Shame I’m not in the market for a boyfriend, he’d be a definite consideration’ said Jade as she nodded to herself, and took the joint Jen passed back.

‘Doesn’t mean you couldn’t have a bit of fun with him though, does it?’ said Jen with a crafty wink.

‘Well this is true yeah, but dude I only met him yesterday for Christ sake!’ laughed Jade. Jen agreed and with that they transferred their talk back to what the hell they would do with themselves for the rest of the day and night, while one floor down two members of Slipknot were having a pretty similar conversation.......

‘You had her all alone on the bus, and you didn’t try and make a move? Damn! What the hell is wrong with you dude?’ said Chris, after Jim had replied with pretty much the same answer Jade had given Jen.

‘Because I just met her! And because neither of us are interested in anything than being friends, so quit it. Hey if you’re so interested you make a play for her’ said Jim, throwing himself down on one of the two single beds in the medium sized room.

‘Waste of time’ said Chris, sitting on the end of the opposite bed and re tying his long blonde ponytail.

‘And why would that be?’ asked Jim, sitting up to look at Chris properly.

‘Because of the way she looks at you! Like ‘yup, I wanna fuck him ‘till he’s dead!’ I know those looks man, I’m just surprised you didn’t notice them too’ said Chris as he lit a cigarette.

‘Well not everyone can be as observant as you, but for the record no I didn’t notice. And I don’t think she did look at me like that either’ said Jim with a shrug. There were a few moments of silence between the men before Chris spoke again.

‘But you would, wouldn’t you? C’mon man every man with eyes in his head would take her to bed and not let her out of it if he got the chance!’ he said, laughing halfway through the sentence as a wicked grin spread across Jim’s face.

‘Yeah, yeah of course I fuckin’ would, as you say I ain’t blind!’ laughed Jim. ‘But it’s not on the cards, besides she’s such a cool person I think I can settle for just being friends and nothing else’ he continued.

‘Even though you know your balls are gonna start to ache every time you are around her’ said Chris, dodging a bible aimed at his head by the guitarist.

‘There, some time with the good book is what you need, filthy animal’ muttered Jim jokingly as he got up and left the room in search of beer. What he did find as he walked out of his room and down the corridor was Jo and Charlotte, with a bottle of vodka each.

‘We’re off to get drunk and then go play in the casinos, you fancy it big guy?’ said Charlotte, pausing from pushing the elevator call button.

‘Can I bring Chris?’ asked Jim, who then laughed as Jo unscrewed the top and put a straw straight into the bottle of Absolut she carried, supping the clear Russian rocket fuel straight up without so much as a flinch.

‘Yeah go grab him and we’ll meet you at Jen and Jade’s room, 3402 on the next floor’ said Charlotte, reaching for the elevator button as Jim turned back to his room. He appeared at the door or room 3402 ten minutes later with Sid in tow (Chris had fallen asleep), and from then on the merriment began. The two bottles of vodka were finished in little under 45 minutes so more drink was ordered via room service (with everyone dying of laughter at Jen going crazy with the room atomiser to remove any traces of weed smoke, she really did mean it when she said she wanted to be good on this tour!) and then after they were all suitably drunk off they went to the casinos, Ceasers Palace being the first stop since it was right next door.

‘Jesus fucking Christ! Did you hotwire the machine or something dude?’ Said Jim as Jade stood by a slot machine jumping up and down as quarters spilled out all over the catch tray and onto the floor.

‘I just got the jackpot! $100 in quarters!’ she laughed, scooping them up into the cup with the assistance of a passing croupier giving out change cups, who had to give Jade six then help her and Jim carry them to the exchange desk, where Jade swapped the lot for ten dollar chips. Once she was done she dragged Jim off to the roulette wheel and within an hour she had lost then managed to treble her money all over again.

‘Lady luck’ he commented as Jade put a rubber band around her $300 wedge and stuffed it deep into her pocket.

‘Lady luck is going to get herself something nice with this. You wanna make a little trip across town with me?’ asked Jade as they walked through the casino, taking in the sights of gambling madness all around them.

‘And what is the purpose of the trip my little friend?’ said Jim, loosely draping an arm over her shoulder. Jade stopped and motioned for him to lean in closer, and when he did whispered ‘Cocaine’ into his ear.

‘Oh right! Yeah okay ill come with’ he said cheerily, and with that they left the casino and headed out into the boiling heat again to take a cab to an apartment block a ten minute drive away. When they arrived at the ramshackle looking buildings Jim waited in the cab while Jade ran up the stairs and knocked on the seventh apartment door in the row and was let in by a scruffy looking woman of about 45, exiting a couple of minutes later and
hugging the woman before she left, waving as she descended the white painted wooden steps.

‘See sailors have a girl in every port, and you lady, well you have a dealer in every town huh?’ said Jim quietly so the cabbie didn’t hear. Jade laughed and nodded in agreement.

‘That was Martha, she’s cool. Used to be a roadie for Led Zeppelin back in the day’ said Jade, before telling a curious Jim all about the lady with the wild black hair he had only just caught a glimpse of. They then went back to the hotel with Jade’s little parcel of contraband, and straight up to her room where four lines went straight up their noses. After stashing her bag of white powder in a shoe at the bottom of her suitcase they both left to go and see what coked up mischief they could find. They ended up at an amusement arcade shooting hoops in the mini basketball court, both jabbering at each other at a million miles an hour and laughing their heads off as the high took a hold.

‘That guy keeps watching me, nooooooooo’ said Jade, beginning to become fiercely paranoid after about forty minutes; one of the drawbacks of cocaine use.

‘I hate to be the one that says it, but he’s been checking out your butt for the last half an hour’ said Jim, shooting a half court shot perfectly and punching the air in triumph.

‘WHAT? Don’t talk crazy! No he knows we are high! He’s an undercover cop or something! Can we leave now?’ said Jade, talking at high speed and chewing her lip nervously.

‘No, I’m having fun! And he is too checking out your ass. I mean it is a pretty fine example’ said Jim with a shrug, shooting another hoop and feeling his buzz begin to subside, but not the way it had started to loosen his tongue. As soon as the compliment came out of his mouth he noticed Jade blush and turn her head, letting her long platinum and black hair fall over her cheeks as she bounced a ball at her feet.

‘You know, even if you are all paranoid at the moment- which I know you are- you gotta get your head round the fact that you are an extremely attractive woman, and guys are going to look at you no matter how insignificant you think you may be’ said Jim. Jade stopped bouncing the ball and let it roll away over the court at hearing him; he had hit the nail on the head about just how she felt about herself. Insignificant in looks is how she had always classed herself, and it shocked her at how well he seemed to be getting to know her already. The fact he had more or less admitted he found her attractive too also hit home, and then so did Jen’s comment about that ‘bit of fun’ she may or may not want to have with him, and the giggles started again.

‘What are you laughing about over there then?’ asked Jim, shooting the last hoop and picking up his beer as they left the court, their time paid for coming to an end.

‘Nothing’ she said.

‘Don’t lie!’ said Jim, running around to stand in front of her and push his forehead against hers so she could only look him square in the eye.

‘Don’t lie’ he repeated again, this time holding his hands on her shoulders. He didn’t know if it was her beauty, the alcohol or the coke that had made him suddenly get so close, but at that second he didn’t care.

‘I’ll let you know soon enough, if you’re lucky’ said Jade with a wink as fast as the one he had given her from the stage the previous day before ducking under his arm and leaving the arcade in search of the others, and more drugs.

By 1am the following morning, the Lotus Inn Vegas had begun to wonder what it had let itself in for. Nowhere was particularly trashed per say (apart from a few drink spillages here and there), but other activates were becoming somewhat of an annoyance for the other guests, save the handful who actually thought the perpetrators quite humorous. Chris and Sid were riding the elevator for about an hour playing a game the latter of the men had invented. Elevator bong. Take a huge hit off the bong, hold your breath and hit a random number on the keypad with your eyes closed then hold your breath until you got to that floor. It was somewhere between floor numbers 34, 47, 12, 14 and 20 of the 50 floor hotel that they both got so stoned they could hardly stand, and ended up on the ground floor crashing through the doors as they opened, falling in a heap on the floor laughing. After that Charlotte and Jo decided it would be a good idea and went in for round two, leaving Joey, Corey, Jess and Jade to swim in the fountain.

‘Ladies and gents, if I could ask you please to swim in the outdoor area of the pool, and not the waterfall fountain?’ said a young clerk from behind the front desk.

‘Alright!’ shouted Corey, getting out fully clothed and dripping wet and running all the way through the hotel with Jade and a bottle of whisky on his heels, then cannon balled straight into the outside pool once he reached the patio area.

‘Grab a gator dude’ said Corey, pushing an inflatable alligator in her direction as he clambered up onto another and lay with on his back, his arms and legs dangling into the warm water.

‘Here’ said Jade as she floated over to him on her bright green alligator, passing him the bottle of Crown Royal whisky she was swigging from.

‘Cheers’ he said, passing her the bottle of Bacardi he had.

‘Cheers’ she agreed clinking bottle necks and sniggering with laughter along with him.

‘Dude how old are we?’ Corey laughed.

‘Old enough to know better’ laughed Jade, drunk off her ass. They both lay there bobbing around on the pool surface, spinning each other in circles and acting like big kids for a while before they both just laid still and looked up at the reflections of the lights hitting the black sky above, the gentle breeze of the Nevada desert blowing in and rippling the water beneath them.

‘Jim’s right, you are really fucking cool’ said Corey suddenly, drifting over to the edge of the pool where he had had the sense to dump his cigarettes and lighter before diving in. He lit two and passed one to Jade.

‘He said that?’ asked Jade, turning to look at him.

‘Yup, and he’s a good judge of character is young James’ said Corey as he sat up and tied his wet blonde curls back in an elastic from around his wrist.

‘He’s pretty cool himself’ said Jade casually with a nod, rubbing mascara from her eyes.

‘Hah! Now you look like Marilyn Manson, come here let me fix you up’ laughed Corey, grabbing the foot of the inflatable gator Jade lay on and pulling her closer to wipe off her eye make up with his sleeve.

‘Hey! Brian’s a good friend of mine!’ said Jade.

‘He lets you call him Brian?’ questioned Corey as he turned her head and wiped the other eye.

‘He doesn’t have a choice, and yes, I’m the only one other than his ma and pa who has that privilege’ said Jade with a grin.

‘There, all de- panda eyed’ said Corey as he finished wiping her face, before continuing with ‘Yup, that’s another thing Jim was right about, up close you’re even more gorgeous’ said Corey with a friendly smile, showing he meant it sincerely as a compliment and not anything lecherous.

‘He said that too huh?’ said Jade, swigging from the Bacardi bottle.

‘Indeed he did, and what do you think of that?’ asked Corey.

‘That particular information is being processed my friend’ said Jade with a wink as she tapped the side of her head, and continued to float contently in the dark. Hour by hour, Jen’s ‘bit of fun’ comment seemed to appeal even more to Jade that night, and for many nights after that too as she considered it, and also considered Jim in her mind’s eye; naked mostly.
