Something Wicked

Drake Gibson was a movie star with a bright future and a very dark past. When he attends a movie premiere, he meets Gabriela Slone, a reporter who hates her job. She's supposed to get an interview for her magazine, but Drake doesn't make it easy for her and she lets her frustration get the best of her. She is soon thrown into his world and in over her head.

I was a Russian spy at the ripe age of thirteen, given my uncanny ability to tell if someone was lying (I also read fortunes on the weekends). By sixteen, I had become too much of a handful for the Lethal Intelligence Ensemble (LIE). I was quickly exiled to the South of France, where I worked with wayward elephants in the Circus of Roaming Animals and People (CRAP). I was able to make ends meet by selling my organs on the black market for pocket change and beer money. At the age of twenty-three, I decided to expand my horizons and become a blackjack dealer in Ireland. I loved the family atmosphere at Barney’s Underground Liquor Lounge (BULL). People couldn’t resist the allure of liquor up front and poker in the rear. Eventually, I became tired of the rear and headed off to the United States to try my hand at tall tales. That is what brings us here today. If you have a moment, I’d like to tell you a story. (This bio is not to be taken seriously under any circumstances.)
