about 6’5 and probably weighed in the neighborhood
of 220, stood behind him. “Hi, Steve, whose your friend?”
“Colin, I’d like you to meet Buck McGregor. He gets the
fun job of being your bodyguard for this tour. Buck, this is Colin Matthews
whose a real headache more times than not!”
“That’s okay, Steve, I have a large supply of
aspirin,” McGregor assured him and stuck out his hand to Colin.
Colin grinned at his reply and shook his hand. This
guy was all right!
Jazz walked up to them. “Hey, dude! I’m starving!
Care to do lunch?”
“I am hungry now that you mention it,” Colin replied.
“Yeah. We could hear your stomach growling the entire
flight here,” Jazz grinned.
“Great! I hope I don’t read that in your magazine!”
Jazz just laughed and motioned with his arm. “Come
on. We’re outta here!”
Mace, Jake, Liam, along with their bodyguards, decided
to take Jazz up on his invitation.
“God, we look like a fucking parade!” Mace
complained.
“Where we eating?” Jake asked.
“I thought we could head over to Underground Atlanta,”
Colin said. “As I recall it’s about six blocks from here.” As he walked out
of the hotel and into the bright sunlight, Colin slipped on his sunglasses.
The six blocks of Underground Atlanta proved to be a
thoroughly fascinating place. It was like walking into the past with its
Victorian architecture and the original cobblestone streets. They decided to
look around after they ate lunch. They finished looking around, returned to
the street-level and found themselves quickly surrounded by fans. The band
members spent some time talking with the kids and signing autographs. Colin
shoved his sunglasses to the top of his head as he visited with the fans. He’d
never liked rock stars that wore their shades when they were with their fans or
during a concert. He thought it was incredibly rude behavior and swore he’d
never do it.
McGregor tapped Colin’s shoulder and when he turned,
he motioned to his watch. Colin nodded reluctantly. “Sorry, people, but the
guys have to get back to their hotel,” McGregor announced. The fans greeted
his announcement with a chorus of disappointed groans.
“Hey! In case you haven’t already heard, we’re doing
an in-store at the mid-town Blockbuster Music ™ from one until three,”
Colin explained. “If you can’t make it then we’ll see you tonight for sure!”
They left and hurried back to the hotel to find Steve
waiting in the lobby. Seeing Colin come in, the desk clerk motioned to him and
he went over to the desk. “Mr. and Mrs. Matthews have arrived. They’re room
number is 1226.”
“Thanks.” He relayed the news to Liam then made a
quick call on the house phone and spoke briefly to his parents. “Okay, I’ll
leave your names with the security at the Omni.”
“Mom and dad are coming to our sound check?” Liam
asked.
“Yeah, so remind me to leave their names with
security, okay?”
“Will do.”
“Colin, Liam, come on!” Steve called impatiently.
“Coming,” Colin called, hurrying after Steve. He
skidded to a halt suddenly. “Shit! I don’t have my glasses with me!” He was
severely far-sighted. He didn’t need them to see, but he did need them
whenever he was doing any close work.
“I’ve got them,” Steve assured him.
It was a short ride from the hotel to the record
store. The limousine pulled up to the delivery entrance where the store
manager was waiting to escort them inside. “Glad to see you guys! It looks
like it’s going to be a hot time for the next two hours if the kids waiting
outside are any indication.” He led the band members through the store and got
them situated at a table in the front of the store then nodded at one of his
employees to unlock the front door. Accompanied by a cacophony of shrieks,
squeals and screams, the kids poured into the store. For two
