Raven figured on a direct approach to Hannah Schrader but not in public.

Not with her under surveillance.

The two goons who followed her from work to a bar wore pressed gray suits. They fit well with the rest of the bar’s happy hour clientele. Hannah didn’t notice their presence. Or was she used to them being there?

She met two girlfriends at a small hotel bar. It sat off the lobby, tempting new arrivals as they headed for the elevators. The décor wasn’t fancy. The mirrored walls made a futile attempt at making the place look bigger than it was. Muted televisions screens on two walls played either news programs or sports.

Raven took a seat in a back corner and read a newspaper. There weren’t many patrons, so he had a decent view of Hannah, her friends, and the goons who watched her.

Hannah Schrader wore a typical skirt-and-blouse combo. She’d removed her heels after sitting down, and the shoes rested beside her chair. She sat with her elbows on the table, leaning toward her friends, her nyloned feet on the floor. Hannah’s bright blonde hair matched one of the other girls. The third member of their trio was a brunette who wore her hair very short.

The brunette apologized for insisting on the hotel instead of their usual bar. She didn’t want to “see you-know-who tonight”. Hannah and the other blonde didn’t mind. Hannah exclaimed, “Alcohol is alcohol!” as the waiter brought their drinks. Hannah was a whiskey drinker. The waiter placed a double in front of her.

The brunette ordered fried mozzarella poppers before the waiter departed. Raven cringed. Fried cheese? It wasn’t a worthwhile snack at any time of day.

Her two minders glanced at her from time to time but didn’t make the effort obvious. They kept up an animated conversation with a running commentary on the sports program.

He sat with his paper and martini and waited.

He needed Hannah alone for his approach to work. Would the goons hang around?
