“Tiny”

Buzz stopped singing.

The guitar stopped playing.

The song was over.

It took some time.

Then Mace knew what he had to say.

“For what it’s worth, it’s worth all the while.”

He heard his woman’s soft sob.

And after hearing that, silently, Kai Mason finally said goodbye to his baby sister.

After the gig was over, Mace moved into the dressing room, and since he’d had some practice, he clocked them immediately.

He prowled right there.

“ID,” he grunted to one of the three girls draped on Pong.

“Dude,” Pong started. “They been carded.”

“Ohmigod, are you Kai Mason?” the girl breathed.

He snapped his fingers. “ID.”

She tore her gaze from him, looked to Pong, then looked to the security guard at the door.

“Not gonna ask again,” Mace warned.

Hesitantly, she grabbed the little bag that was resting on her hip from the straps that crossed her body, and she pulled out her ID.

He took it, barely glanced at it and knew it was fake.

He kept hold on it and asked, “How old are you?”

She’d practiced this, so she immediately told him the age from the ID. “Twenty-two.”

“How old are you?” he repeated.

She stared at him. Then said, “Okay, nineteen.”

“How. Old. Are.You?” he said menacingly.

She pushed away from Pong and threw up her hands. “Seventeen! Okay? But I’m almost eighteen!”

“Fuck,” Pong mumbled.

“Out,” Mace said to the girl.

“But—” she started.

“Out. Now,” Mace ordered. Then looked to the other two girls. “You go with her.”

“But I’m actually eighteen,” one of them said.
