Bartending there was easy since most people either wanted beer or shots or soda,

so she didn't have to make any fancy drinks. She popped the beers fast and she already knew what the hell she was doing, so her tip jar took money almost as quickly as she took 97

beer orders. The crowd pressed in on her, obviously sensing she was filling orders and filling them fast. But still, she managed to hold her own and at the same time keep an eye on everyone she served. So far, none of the Fists had come in. But she figured this was a prime spot. She had every confidence she was going to see them here and it was only a matter of time.

By the time the bar closed at midnight and everyone shuffled out, Teresa was

tired but exhilarated. At least now they had a plan. She finished cleaning up the bar.

"You did good tonight."

Teresa smiled at Sandy, who was tall and thin and tattooed nearly all over. She

wore her salt-and-pepper hair stick short, show-casing a row of piercings in and outside each ear.

"Thanks. I like bartending. I'm not much for standing around and doing nothing, so this gives me something to do."

"Aren't you here on vacation?"

"Well, yes. But I bought a new bike while I was here. Now I have to pay for it. So you saved my life giving me a job."

Sandy laughed. "I know how that is. Always something pretty out there we have to spend our money on."

Teresa folded the rag and laid it on the bar. "Isn't that the truth? I'll be paying for this bike until I die."

"Well, I'm glad you got the bike, and we got you. You did good and we're glad to have you working with us. See you tomorrow night?"

"You bet."

AJ and Pax came toward them.

"Bar's closed, guys. You'll need to leave."

Teresa scratched her nose. "Oh. They're . . . with me."

Sandy's brows lifted. "Both of them?"

Teresa tingled as Pax and AJ flanked her. "Yes." She introduced the guys to Sandy. They shook her hand.

Sandy looked over AJ and Pax, then nodded. "Oh, to be young again." She shifted her gaze to Teresa. "You are one lucky woman. Enjoy these two." Sandy walked away, muttering something about youth and stamina.

Pax slid his arm around Teresa's waist. "You ready to go? You worked hard

tonight."

"Not really. It was fun. Did you two spot anyone familiar?"

"No," AJ said.

Teresa sighed. "They're here. I know they are."

AJ held the door open for her. "It's still early. Give it time."

There were concerts and all-night parties going on, but Teresa was done. She

wanted to go back to the house and collapse. When they got there, Pax started up the grill, saying he was hungry.

"It's after midnight, Pax," she said, flopping onto one of the chairs outside.

"I don't care. I need food." He turned, spatula in hand. "You want a burger or not?"

Her stomach grumbled loudly, making her realize how long it had been since

they'd eaten. She laughed. "I guess that's your answer.
