He startles at my voice, bringing his attention back to me. He leans back, sprawling himself out in the chair.
“Yup, that’s the vampire. What’s your plan now?”
I relax back in my own chair. “We watch her and see if we can gather any information before approaching.”
Her boss walks away, scanning the bar and seeing us right away. The older man is heavier set with laugh lines around his face. He makes his way over to us, dropping menus on the table’s edge.
“Hi, fellas, you look new. I’m Mike, the owner. Since it’s outside peak hours, you’ll have to order at the bar. Anna will take care of you. Enjoy.”
He walks away, heading into a back room. Anna appears to be the only bartender working right now, so it looks like we will have to talk to her sooner than planned.
We both grab a menu, trying not to look suspicious.
“Looks like I’ll have to talk to her after all,” I say, “What do you want?”
He stares at me, his eyes moving back and forth between mine. “A burger and fries.”
I take both menus with me as I stand up. She sees me coming, so I try to flash her a kind grin. No need to put her guard up.
“What can I get you?” She asks with a polite smile.
“A burger, fries, and a house salad, please. As well as two waters.”
I can sense she’s a vampire.
She keeps glancing behind me, looking at Griffyn back at our table. “Okay, you’ve got it.”
She grabs two glasses, scooping ice into them before adding water. She sets them on the bar before going to their POS system and putting our order in.
I grab the glasses and head back to our table. Once I’m seated, I stare at Griffyn hard.
“Is there something you need to tell me?” I try to sound calm, but my voice still has a slight snarl
He glares at me. “What do you mean?”
“You keep staring at her like she holds the answers to the universe, and she can’t keep her eyes off you either. Did you hook up with her? Feed off her?”
It would complicate things if he did, but I wouldn’t be surprised. He can’t keep it in his pants. It’s not in his nature.
“I… don’t want to talk about it.”
That’s his response? What is happening here?
“That’s not an acceptable answer. This relates to our mission so tell me.”
Now he’s glaring at me. He hates when I pull rank.
He still doesn’t answer right away.
“This could affect our mission Griffyn.”
“Fine,” He snaps at me with a harsh glare. “I ordered a drink from her and caught her drinking from a human.”
She was drinking from a human? Does he relate since he feeds from humans too?
“Does she know you saw her?” I ask slowly.
He just nods, a guilty grimace on his face.
