[Whoa shit, that kiss came outta nowhere, but he needed it. It's hard to let her go when she pulls away, too, that's for damn sure. But it does the trick of clearing his head of that remaining anger at the bouncer, and leaves him very eager to follow after her as she spots that side entrance.]

Cool, yeah, perfect. I thought about somethin' like this but then that guy fuckin' pissed me off. He's real lucky I didn't stab him.

[Not that he was going to. He'd like to hang out in this city just a little bit longer without having to run from the cops. But he sure felt like doing it.

It's a small club and the band is doing as he and his group do, managing all the instruments themselves without anything like roadies. So it's pretty easy for Johnnie to step up and make a reason for them to go in the side rather than just sneaking and being suspicious.]

Hey, you guys need a hand? Here -

[Without waiting for an answer, he gets his arms around part of the drum kit, and nods to Chrissy.]

Hey babe, hold the door for us, wouldya?

[The band has no reason to be suspicious, and quite clearly the guy next to him hauling around a bunch of cables is wearing gratitude on his face.]
