Kapitel 35: Chapter 35

EXT. to INT. - EXOTICA NIGHTCLUB - NIGHT

Gerri stepped out of her car into the humid California night, already well past eleven. The streetlights and neon from the bar across the street gave her an instant headache, made worse by the noisy, drunken lineup of scantily clad women and overdressed young men standing in line outside the black painted doors. Exotica's entrance challenged convention, the quieter street on this side of the building helping it stand out from the small shops and boutiques closed for the day. Gerri glanced down the alley between the building and the next street, the flashing lights of another club glaring at her. Smart, in a way. The owners of this new place could have used the other street. But it was populated by hordes of other clubs. By twisting around and using this street's entrance, they ensured they'd be the only lineup in sight.
