Okay, yes, Chris had heard the rumors, people aren't sure whether he is a capable Reeve or not. It is his own fault of course, he simply wasn't very visible or sociable to his fellow Kindred. Not everyone agrees with his decisions. Understandable.
I fire one Deputy because I don't see her often enough, now where have I been lately?
It doesn't matter now. And at least some of his Daeva friends still think he's OK. Is that why Chris decided to spend a free evening at Club Ember? Maybe. Velma Star just returned to the Domain, who knows, she might be here. And if not, the nightclub always offers simple distractions. And he would be just as glad to see anyone else.
Normally the Shadow is not the type for strip clubs, but he needs to get the image of Baldwin vs. Travis out of his mind. He needs to be at a place frequently visited by vampires - one that is not Nox. Not bothered by the cold, Chris is wearing a simple white tank top. He chooses to walk through the club a bit, before sitting somewhere. Tonight the Shadow wants to be seen, rather than hide... behind a lap dance.
