Devin parked the rental car and got out with the sun beating down on the hot parking lot. Looking around he adjusted his sunglasses back to his eyes and looked at the meyhem in front of him. Tech people were running wires from trucks to the loading bay area and speakers the size of a motorcycle were being wheeled up ramps. A large man with a security windbreaker walked over to him and took down his information followed by letting him know how to get into the concert venue.  

Following those instructions he made his way through the winding maze of the backstage location until he found what he was looking for. “DEVIN!” A voice rang out through the whole stage area. Turning and seeing his old friend walking towards him, he smiled and the two gave each other a hug. “Happy you could step in last minute. The original team we had wasn’t able to do the first two locations so you are really helping us out.” 

“Yea well you did say it was a candy grab gig so who am I to say no to easy money.” Devin said casually. “You said this was a small show isn’t this like one of the bigger venues in the whole city?” He was concerned because his old friend had a habit of under explaining and this was quickly looking like another situation with that tail. 

“Well yea but your escort isn’t the headliner so you don’t have to worry about the same type of issues. For now at least. Like I said she is going to be the next big thing.” Anyway I am meeting her at the hotel later today so come by and we can do a meet and greet.” He then, as quickly as he came left the place and gave Devin the time to do a full walk through. 

Three hours later and a quick talk with the regular security team for the stage. He was being frisked by hotel security. When they looked over his ID they waved him through and he made his way to the front desk. “I am here to see Savannah working as her personal security.” Devin was then directed to what floor and room. He made his way up and walked into the room after he knocked.

His old friend brought him in and let Devin walk in to meet his protected. He was wearing dark jeans and a black shirt and a mustard colored motorcycle jacket. What he saw in front of her was an attractive woman who apparently has the voice to match. Smiling he extended a hand for a handshake. “Hello nice to meet you Savanna. My name is Devin Coal. I’ll be shadowing you for the next few shows while we get the companies regular protection team in place.”
