No one even looked at us as we walked into the dingy bar. It was a total hole-in-the-wall, complete with peeling paint on the walls and low light. Denny was right about one thing. No one would bother us there.

“Are you sure they serve food here?” Mary Anne whispered.

“Yes. But it’s not the kind of place that has menus.”

I kept Mary Anne and Genevieve close as I followed Denny toward the long wooden bar. He went right up to the bartender.

The man with a long gray beard looked up. “Been a long time since you’ve been in here.”

“Years, yet you don’t seem surprised to see me.”

“I’m not.” The bartender leaned forward on the bar. “There aren’t too many Dires out there to be causing trouble.”

“You’ve heard?”

“Who hasn’t heard?”

“I didn’t realize the news spread that fast.” Denny took a seat on a stool. “I’d have thought The Society would have wanted to keep a lid on it.”

“Oh they tried, but you know how these things go.”

“I do.” Denny rested his elbows on the bar. “I brought some friends.”

“I see that. Two pretty ones and what’s with the fella who looks like he’s going to hurt someone?”

Denny laughed. “That’s Gage. He’s new to the Dire world.”

“Ah, Hunter changed one?”

“Not by choice.”

I hoped Denny knew what he was doing spilling secrets to a random bartender. He had better have been trustworthy.

“What can I do for you?”

“We need to eat and a place to sleep for tonight.”

“Hiding out in the city?”

“Hiding in plain sight.”

“I see. You are welcome to both here.”

“What can I get for you pretty ladies?” He looked at both Mary Anne and Genevieve.

“Oh, anything,” Mary Anne quickly answered.

“That doesn’t narrow down the choices. I know your friends here want some meat.”

“She wants chicken fingers.” I took a guess. If she liked chicken nuggets maybe she’d like those.

Mary Anne nodded. “Do you have those?”

“Of course. It’s a specialty of the house.”

I doubted there were too many specialties here, but I kept that thought to myself.

“I’ll have the same,” Genevieve added.

“Fries or chips?”

“Fries,” both girls answered at once.

“Why don’t you all take a seat? I’ll take care of it.”

“Thanks, Carl.” Denny stood up.

“Anytime.”

I stepped back and let Denny lead the way again. I wasn’t sure if there were any unwritten rules about what tables were available. I didn’t have much experience dealing with bars like the one we were in, paranormal or otherwise. I had a feeling Mary Anne and Genevieve didn’t either, but neither seemed uncomfortable. I guess compared to everything else, the bar wasn’t that strange.

Denny pulled out two chairs at a table in the back corner beside the bar, and gestured for Mary Anne and Genevieve to sit.

“Thanks.” Genevieve smiled and sat down. He pushed in her chair.

Either he was into her, or he was suddenly showing his gentleman side. I sat down next to Mary Anne. I figured she wasn’t going to appreciate me pushing her in. She was the type of girl who liked to do that kind of stuff herself.
