Penis Parade
The top-floor club is revealed as both Astrid's sanctuary for vulnerable performers and the site of a hidden Meat Shields office.
Story so far
The Penis Parade's current crew occupies positions they normally would not qualify to hold. Carl concludes Astrid used her assistant-manager authority to install her sons and their friends there where she could watch over them.
Rosemarie secretly operates the top floor's unlisted Meat Shields branch from her table or home office. The performers retain mercenary memberships but avoid the normal risks of assignment because customers do not know the branch exists.
Astrid's death ends the protection. The venue closes for restructuring, and Carl hires the eligible male crew before new management can replace them with the original dancers and send the current performers to Larracos.
Appearance
A gaudy upper-floor nightclub hiding a mercenary contract office behind its performer tables.
Role
The venue served as a covert safe posting built by Astrid inside the Desperado Club.
