Dee blinked, still a little unsure about Karl. As he walked back to the bar, whispered to Jay, “Do you think…”

“I think we’ll get a better idea what he’s like when he’s sober.” Jay shrugged. “He’s got a good sound. Let’s see what he can do playing one of your new compositions.”

Dee nodded. “All right.”

“Johan too.” Jay nodded to the one who was still standing there. “If you’re also interested in an audition.”

Dee had a better feeling about Johan than he did Karl, but first impressions weren’t always accurate. And this was a party. Things were bound to get rowdier, just like Jack warned them.
