CHAPTER 1 - ISAAC
The building loomed in front of us, seeming to rise out of the concrete jungle amid tendrils of summer steam. I took a deep breath as we were admitted into the waiting room. Taylor was busy drumming his fingers on the top of a nearvy coffee table, fresh as a daisy. Zac was chewing his fingernails industriously. Mom and dad both sat stiffly in a pair of high-backed vinyl armchairs. I glanced around the room. It had been modernised with black walls which housed platinum CDs and posters of bands and musicians. I followed Zac's gaze to a poster of us a few months before and smiled faintly. A door opened in the front of the room and a secretary motioned for us to go through to the office.
For the last five months we had been touring the world and had just returned home to the cheery news that Island Def Jam Music had changed hands and now two brothers held all of the shares. They were big names in the entertainment business. The younger brother, Justin Greyfern had been a well-known Blues musician and acclaimed for his skills on the violin. His brother, Walter Greyfern had been manager to countless top musicians and bands. They had requested a meetin with us and I guess we were all a little afraid, as it was time to renew our contract, as to whether or not they would renew it.
We passed into the huge office. It was rendered a deep green with mahogany paneling. Arranged near a huge mahogany desk were three sofas. Justin and Walter were seated behind the desk and the most beautiful girl I had ever seen was sprawled across one of the sofas. She smiled at me sweetly and I smiled back. Her long, honey-blond hair cascaded over her thin shoulders and her pink stained lips curved into a sweet heart shape. She buffed her nails busily as we filed in and took our seats. She sat up and smiled at us briefly before moving to perch on the edge of the mahogany desk. I couldn't help but notice the way her short, grey skirt hitched up, exposing her slim thighs. Taylor nudged me and nodded in her direction. Walter stood.
"Welcome boys, Mr. and Mrs. Hanson, I am Walter Greyfern, this is my brother Justin and this is my daughter Anastasia"
After what seemed like hours of nodding as the two Greyfern's explained the contract we were finally given the news we had been waiting for. Justin took a deep breath,
"And finally boys, we would be very happy if you would renew your contract with us" I slapped Tay a high five and we quickly signed the contract. Walter suggested that Anastasia show us around the new offices. I silently thanked god and followed her out into the hall.
