Back in Hollywood, the guys got back to band business, Rissa got back to work- Libby and CC had gotten closer,
one of the guys in the desert, the good looking George, had tried to pick up on her,
and CC decided he didn't like other guys coming on to her, so they were officially an "item". Libby couldn't have been happier.
Rissa was swamped at work, she'd had to fire one of the employee's for stealing,
and until they were replaced, she had to pick up the slack. Gaby ended up taking the job, and was easily trained-
Bret & Rissa hadn't spent too much time together since the desert, her being so busy with work,
and the band was working on some new songs, but they finally got together one weekend and went out to a club,
one of the more exclusive and posh clubs, owned by Jim Morrisons Widow, Lauree, and her sister, Karee, who was married to Jimmy Page.
The club was called 'Hyacinth Taverns', the main doors made of wood so thick,
they were heavy, gold handles, the walls outside covered with Hyacinth, the inside, made of rock formations, waterfalls and many levels to the place,
it was very Tropical inside. There was a V.I.P. area, and a grand stage for the bands that played there.
They got a table a level above the stage- No one ever knew who would be playing, sometimes it would be an unknown local band, sometimes KISS or Van Halen, etc. It was never advertised.
Tonight they got lucky, it was the 'Motor City Mad Man" Ted Nugent. Rissa loved his music, and him, Bret got a kick out of watching her, watch Ted !
He was excited too, they got his autograph later, and Ted being Ted, flirted with Rissa- Bret teased her on the way home,
"You wanted to leave with the Ol' Nuge !" Rissa smiled, shaking her head no, he didn't let up, a big grin on his face, he said,
"If I hadn't been with you, and he wanted to fuck your brains out, you wouldn't have said no !"
she looked down, blushing, he laughed, "Uh huh, I knew it !...Good thing I was there !" she touched his leg,
"I'm glad you were there Bret, it was fun, and I love that Club-" he nodded,
"Yeah, it's fuckin' exspensive tho !" ---------------
Bret went to Rissa's work one day, real excited,
"Guess who's coming to town ?" she shrugged, not having a clue, "Billy & Tish !" Riss frowned,
"I thought Tish hated it here-?"
"Yeah, things aren't working out too good there, he can't hang, she's coming back with him, she might not stay tho-" Rissa frowned,
"Well that sucks- Can't they find somewhere they both like ?" he shrugged,
"Thing is, Billy WANTS to be HERE. She's either going to deal with it, or be on her way." she looked at him,
"Did he say that ?" he grinned,
"His exact words were, 'I'm not forcing her to come back with me. If she doesn't want to be here, she can hit the fucking road.'
He says he's tried more than his share in their relationship, I think he'd be relieved if she did leave him, but who knows.
I'm just glad he's coming back !" Rissa kissed him & smiled,
"So am I, but I would like to see things work out, I liked Tish, she was cool-" he nodded,
"She's fine looking, that's for sure !" Rissa elbowed him, smiling,
"That's true-" ----
They went up to her loft, fooling around, the phone rang, it was Lynn,
"Listen Rissa, Jesse is on his way over ther with some friends.
He's been drinking all day, and they're ready to kick someone, anyone's, ass." Rissa sighed, thanked her & hung up, she told Bret, they decided to leave & head over to Rikki's before they showed up-
