Gabriel had gone to the club on a few previous occasions; to scope it out. He knew the O’Malleys had laid claim on it some years back and he even had an insider with close ties to Seamus’ son Patty: Alister. She was a dancer at the club but she had earned her way to the top as Patty’s girl and favorite dancer. If Patty was around- so was Alister.
In exchange for leiniancy on some lesser drug charges, Alister agreed to play super sleuth for the department- as long as Gabriel could protect her when things got hairy. So far nothing interesting aside from some turf wars had transpired within Patty’s inner circle, or rather, the inner circle Alister was a part of. She was still just a dancer and Patty hadn’t taken her into his life quite as fully as the department had hoped; not yet anyway.
The detective was undercover as a mere patron of the club and sometimes he would go to private rooms with Alister to talk where there were no cameras and sometimes they would talk during dances. It always made Gabriel nervous because Alister was a rather attractive woman and he had to keep reminding himself he was on business not pleasure. Tonight was no different, he grabbed a drink and settled into a booth to watch the show and keep an eye out for Patty, his goons, and Alister.
