Parker arrived at Taggart’s and found the parking lot nearly empty. Before going inside, he stopped and spoke to the two cops sitting in their patrol car, keeping watch on the place.

They were a man and a woman, both rookies, the man was white while the woman was Hispanic. They were so fresh-faced that they looked even younger than Heather.

“I see that yesterday’s trouble has had an effect on business.” Parker said, after greeting them.

“Yes sir,” the man said.

“Call me Rick, guys, and you’re Ed and Sierra, right?”

They both nodded, pleased that Parker knew their names, his heroism of the day before had made him a bit of a star in the department.

“It’s been real quiet,” Sierra said. “But we’re ready if trouble comes.”

“When do you get relieved?”

“Chief said we could stay until closing, which is good, I could use the overtime.” Ed said.

Parker slapped the car’s roof. “Stay safe guys, and keep aware,”

“We’ll do both, Rick,” Ed told him.

On his way into the bar, Parker saw a beautiful blond sitting in the passenger seat of a black Lexus. After looking him over, she sent him a smile and he sent her one in return.

When Parker entered the bar, Heather and the rest of the staff crowded around and thanked him for his actions of the previous day. He was still wearing the sling, although the numbness had left his arm, but he found that it helped with the wounds to his shoulder.

Heather had to take care of a customer, and so Parker went into the back to speak with Patrick Taggart, but when he entered the small office, he saw that Taggart already had a visitor. It was the man his ex-wife had her affair with, Timothy Hearn.

“Detective Parker, I’m told that you’re quite the hero now.”

“What are you doing here, Hearn?”

“Pat and I were discussing business if you must know.”

“What sort of business?”

“The type of business that is none of your business, but we’re finished now anyway. Pat, think over my offer, that number will only go lower now that I’ve seen how few customers you have.”

“This drop-off in business is temporary, and you know that my grandfather will never sell.”

“Yes, that’s why I’m dealing with you and not him, goodbye gentlemen,”

Parker called to him as he walked out of the room.

“Hearn, that black Lexus out there, is that yours?”

Hearn smiled. “It is, along with the blonde in it.”

“I thought that you and Rachel were dating?”

“That’s also true,”

“I see.”

“Yes Detective, I bet you do.”

After Hearn left, Parker asked Taggart why he was there.

“He wants to buy the bar.”

“Why is he talking to you if you don’t own it?”

“I don’t, but I will someday when my grandfather dies, and well, the man is nearly a hundred.”

“Ah, so he wants you to give him an option to buy, which will come into play after you inherit?”

“Essentially, yes,”

“Interesting,” Parker said.

“Have you had any luck in finding Nico?”

“Not yet,”

“I was going to call you; my grandfather wants to meet you at our home.
