Chapter 16

I wanted to ask the bartender questions right away.

“I have a question if you don’t mind.”

He wiped down the bar with a towel. “Sure, what is it?”

“Did you happen to see a couple guys come in here the other day? They look a lot alike. Maybe they mentioned that they’re from Enchantment Pointe. Liam and Nicolas are the names.”

He glanced around. “Yeah, I saw them.” His voice was lower now.

“Do you know why they were here?”

He eyed us suspiciously. “Why do you want to know?”

“Yeah, they owe me money. And I intend on getting it back no matter what it takes.”

Without looking to my side I knew Annabelle and my mother were staring at me in shock. Obviously I couldn’t let this guy know the truth.

“Well, we don’t want any trouble here. They came in looking for Raleigh, the former owner. I don’t know what happened to them after that.”

I wasn’t sure if he was being honest. Why were Liam and Nicolas looking for Raleigh?

The bartender looked at all of us, then back to me, as if he knew I was somehow the leader of this crazy group. “Are you here for the new coven meeting?”

I tried to act casual, but I was shocked at his question. “Oh, yeah, we’re here for the new meeting,” I said, taking a drink of the beer and trying not to gag. I had never liked this stuff.

“It’s in the back.” He motioned with a tilt of his head.

Now we were pretending to be with the new coven. This probably wouldn’t end well, but regardless, we got up from the barstools and headed across the bar. I had to keep tabs on Annabelle to make sure she didn’t hit on any of the women. She was still walking with a swagger. One role in the community theater play and she was ready to perform on cue.

“There he is.” A female voice came from behind us.

When I looked over my shoulder, I spotted the woman that Annabelle had wanted to buy a drink. The problem was there was a muscular guy with her. Based on the bulging veins on his forehead and the death stare, I was pretty sure he wanted to dismember our bodies with his bare hands.

“We’re in big trouble now,” I said.

My mother and Annabelle looked back.

“Oh no,” my mother said with a slight whimper to her voice.

How would we get out of this one? I didn’t want to miss the coven meeting because of this guy.

“Keep going,” I told my mother and Annabelle.

They kept walking thinking that I was coming with them. I stayed behind though to confront this big dude. I stopped immediately and stood in my best mean guy stance. Feet apart and chest out. Luckily, that caught him off guard and he didn’t punch me without at least giving me time to prepare first.

“What’s your problem, dude?” I asked.

My voice sounded so funny that I almost laughed at myself. He probably wouldn’t have found my laughter funny under the circumstances.
