Chapter Thirty

The next morning I would be jetting off to San Diego with Cain, a long overdue and much needed escape, if I could only make it through the day. Reese and I had agreed to pay Jacob Harritan a visit to get some more information, but we needed to be careful how we approached him. Based on what Reese had found out, it could be a very tricky and difficult situation.

We pulled up to LaBerge and found an empty space in the overly-crowded parking lot. Reese insisted on driving, likely because he didn’t want to be seen in my small, girlish sports car in such a place. A mix of college-age patrons and rough looking biker types made their way into the bar, ready to get an early start on the weekend. We both looked out of place, even though I was dressed down in a pants suit. Reese fitted in a bit more with his bushy white mustache and casual appearance. He could easily pass for a weekend biker type.

The inside of LaBerge certainly didn’t mirror the outside. The dimly lit restaurant and bar combination had a slightly college-meets-upscale dive bar feel. Large booths lined the walls and there was a scattering of high-top cocktail tables.

“There he is over there, working the bar.” Reese nodded to where the neon blue lights over the bar cast a morbid glow over everyone sitting nearby.

“Reese, how about you let me soften him up? He’s more likely to talk to a girl than a grumpy old man like you.” I laughed.

“Old, huh?”

“Well at least you aren’t questioning the grumpy.” I smiled and made my way through the college guys standing around the bar. The crowd easily parted as I was one of the few women in the bar.

“Hey! Can I buy you a drink? Maybe some lunch?” A college aged guy in a black t-shirt and jeans pushed towards me. He had apparently been drinking for some time already.

“Back off, Jackson!” The tall dark haired bartender shouted over the crowd and caught the kid’s attention. “Leave her alone or I’ll have Tiny toss your ass out of here.” The bartender turned his attention toward me. “Sorry about that, what can I get you?”

“A diet coke.” I shot him a smile and flipped my hair over my shoulders; subtly showing my neck and revealing what little cleavage I had. “Unfortunately, I have to head back to work, otherwise I’d ask for a splash of something stronger in it.”

“Hey, I won’t tell. Sure you don’t want something else?” He slid the drink across the bar and lingered for a moment, waiting for my answer.

I took a slow sip from my drink, casually sucking on the straw and looked up at him. “You’re Jacob, right?”

“I am. Have we met? You don’t look familiar, and I doubt a girl like you hangs out in a place like this often.” Jacob stood back and took a wider gaze at me.

“No, this isn’t my typical hang out. You know, you could actually help me.
