The rain beating against the windshield of Christopher Johnson's car didn't stop him from traveling to his destination, even though it was coming down in sheets. All he could think about was the dark haired woman in her mid twenties he had met weeks earlier at the new dance club located in downtown Chicago where he had lived all his life. Partying was the one thing he knew a lot about and he did it...
