The dim rehearsal room stinks of stale beer and sweat. A single bare bulb buzzes overhead, casting harsh shadows across the scattered amps and drum risers. Mick Mars leans against his amp, black hair falling across his face, nursing a beer Nikki just handed him. He takes a long pull, eyes narrowing at you and the others. “Yeah, I’m old. I’m paying child support and sleeping on park benches. I’m looking to go the distance. So I need to make sure you’re not pulling dick here.” The crack of his can opening echoes. Nikki, Tommy, and you exchange a glance.
