“Still sure we’ll be okay?” Iris said, smirking.

I rolled my eyes and pushed inside. The smell of cooking food hit me even stronger and my stomach growled. I realized I hadn’t eaten a decent meal, or even had a decent night’s rest, in a while and both were looking very, very good right about now.

The inside was about as cliché as a backwoods roadside bar and grill (and inn, depending) could look. Bent metal road signs from all over the country plastered the walls, some of them full of bullet holes or rusted over. A scratchy country song played from a dented jukebox in one corner. There were lacquered picnic benches with paper towels spread out in the main area and a couple of small tables and chairs. To my left was a long bar with a wooden sign hanging above it: Beer, food, check in

The bikers had taken a table in the corner. A couple of them eyed us as we moved to the bar.

“I don’t think they’re with the Deathless or Pack,” Iris said. “But we shouldn’t let our guard down, even with the house rules.”

I couldn’t argue with her on that.

There was a tiny bell at the bar and, after checking to make sure this was seriously how to get some service, I dinged it a couple times.

A man so tall and wide it was a wonder he’d managed to fit inside the building at all lumbered in from the back. The first thing I noticed was the eyepatch, barely covering a nasty nest of scars over his left eye and leaving him with a permanent scowl. The glass bottles behind the bar shook as he lumbered over and swiped the bell clean off the table.

“Can I help you?”

“Uh…” I said.

“You kids lost? This ain’t exactly a nice place to hang around.”

“What about the rules outside?” Iris challenged.

I could practically hear metal grinding as the man slowly turned his head toward her. He gave her a painful-to-look at grin. “I am the rules. Anyone breaks them, they get broken.”

I was starting to believe we’d be safe from anyone attacking us here.

“We need a room. And food,” I said. “And before you ask, yes I’ve got money and no we’re not lost. Technically.”

The man’s good eye narrowed on me. “Huh. You one of them newbies from the Dying Lands, that right? Or you just passing through?”

“We just need a room and some food,” I repeated.

The man shrugged. “Fair enough. For one room and dinner that’ll be—”

I turned as the front door opened, and Jasper strode in.

At once, any worries I might have had pretty much flew out the window. His gaze slid over the bikers like they weren’t worth concern, then found me. He smirked. “Out of all the gin joints in all the world…”

I had to stop myself from running as I crossed to him and hugged him tight. He kissed my head, muttering, “Glad you’re safe.”

“Glad you are too.”

Jasper nodded at Iris when we broke apart. “I see you found her.
