Ghost and Crazy Ray 9 followed. An electric tension joined the cigarette smoke hanging in the air. While Slash stared at Morgan, Davis casually stood and eased over toward Felicity. “Problem, Slick?” Slash asked. “Sorry, boss, but I draw the line at beating women,” Morgan said. “Yo, blood,” Ray said. “What Slash say goes around here. You better dig yourself.” His right hand got halfway to his chest. Morgan froze him with an icy stare. “She ain’t worth it,” Morgan said. The others present seemed unsure about what to do, how to react. The band packed their instruments and retired to a back room. Without their hot jazz, the model Birdland seemed hotter, and a musty smell wafted up from six decades ago. “I think I can get what you want,” Davis said, “If you let me do it my way.” His tone was soft and soothing. “Leave the girl alone,” Morgan said. Felicity gritted her teeth but stayed silent, which Morgan appreciated. He was playing the house to ensure her safety at the risk of his own.
