The newest, hottest nightclub in the city has hired Justice Security to protect its patrons from danger. Each night that the club is open, it has a rotating force of four grunts and two plainclothes personnel circulating through the paying customers, just as the manager has asked Justice Security to do.
Tonight, Joey Justice and Misty Wilhite have turned up in the rotation, along with up-and-comers Brandon King and Patty Ferguson. As Joey and Misty arrive, Joey goes inside, and Misty returns to the car for a forgotten item. While at the car, Misty sees the club taken over by a large force of armed men, and the exits sealed.
Inside, the true owner of the club is revealed as Justice Security's mortal enemy, the Mexican drug cartel leader Esteban Fernandez, who, by telephone, threatens to kill the club patrons unless Joey gives himself up and brings Misty inside.
On another front, while almost all available personnel are at the club, a killer is loose inside the almost-deserted Justice Security building. This killer is silent, quick, and extremely slippery. Jessica Queen, one of Justice Security's newest partners, has a skeleton crew in the locked-down building, and must find the killer...or be killed in the process.
Trapped inside the club with several hundred innocent people during a deadly cat-and-mouse game, Joey and his four grunts do their best to keep everyone safe and not get caught. With time running out, at least one member of the Justice Security team makes the ultimate sacrifice...but, can they save everyone? And could the two attacks be related?
Inspired by the hit song, and taut with suspense, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go will keep you on the edge of your seat!

The alarm clock began its shrill screaming at five PM. Resisting the almost overpowering urge to pick the damn thing up and hurl it across the room, Brandon King reached over and gently turned it off. Before he could succumb to the enticements of just a few minutes more sleep, he turned the covers back and dragged himself out of bed.
New assignment tonight. Gotta look sharp. Gotta BE sharp! Teaming with Patty again.
Brandon glanced over at Chris’s side of the bed. I like this assignment, but it sure messes up our time together.
He padded to the bathroom to shave and shower. As Brandon shaved, he thought about his assignment for the last week.
Brandon King was a “grunt” – a uniformed security officer with Justice Security. Brandon took his job very seriously. He had been noticed by Joey Justice, the leader of the company, and his partner, Percival “King Louie” Washington. Louie had invited Brandon to talk with him about going plainclothes. Brandon had initially been excited, but, upon reflection, he had turned the offer down. As he had told Louie, he felt that he needed a bit more “seasoning” on the front lines, but he hoped that the offer would come again.
“Brandon,” Louie had told him, “The offer is a standing one. When you think you’re ready, come see me. De job will be yours, man.”
It was nice to know that the big bosses thought so much of him.
Brandon had a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. He was taking online classes, working toward his Master’s degree. Once he had that, he would consider whether he wanted to pursue a doctorate.
He was twenty-one years old.
