EXCERPT
It was nearly five o’clock, still light out, and Riga figured she had time for
a quick drink before dark. She grabbed her suede jacket off the office’s
lopsided coat rack and ducked past her neighbor’s martial arts studio.
Thuds and masculine grunts drifted through its frosted glass door. She’d
missed old Mr. Chen’s last two classes and knew he’d be coming after her soon,
demanding explanations.
Riga trotted down the stairs to the ground level. The first floor had been
leased to a billiard parlor – her default social life. It served beer and
cheap, airline-grade wine. She’d taken to keeping her own bottles behind the
bar in self-defense.
“It’s Riga HAYworth!” the owner, Takako, shouted as Riga swung through the
door. Takako bustled past, flipping her glossy black hair over one shoulder
and nodding toward the bar. “Good to see you, hon. Your friend’s at the
bar.”
Processing that, Riga peered toward past the pool tables. Cones of light
illuminated the green felt and clacking balls, but the bar, far to the back,
lay in shadow. She didn’t have friends.
Realizing she was blocking the entry, she willed her legs to move. Riga sensed
a pair of bikers stopping play, watching covetously as she passed. She ignored
them, used to the looks. She was the ultimate cosmic joke. Riga Hayworth was a
near twin to Rita, the forties screen goddess, curves and all.
She neared the bar, and the dim figures resolved into three people: a
dark-haired man in an expensive business suit and bracketed by two willowy
blondes in silver miniskirts. The blondes twined around him, their hands
roving across his broad shoulders. An image flashed into Riga’s mind of the
blondes as faceless automatons. She shuddered and carefully did not look at
them.
