Questions at the Door

Sven watched as the three came across the Factory's parking lot. They looked like punks. He crossed his arms, shifting to block the entrance.

"I've prepaid for four people," Celduin said. "There are only three of us. What's the problem?"

"And just who are you?" Sven replied.

"Celduin Ilkorin," came the reply.

From behind the door, a female voice said "He's on the list. Let them in."

Olivia looked at Lisdra, wondering what sort of name Ilkorin was and how Lisdra had come to meet him. Olivia resoled to ask her friend the following day.

Reluctantly Sven stepped aside and the three of them plunged into the noise and pulsing lights of the party.
