When they returned to the bar, Annie helped Griffin get the tree off the top of the car. They carried it into the back hallway and leaned it up against the wall as Vinnie came out of the kitchen.

"Glad you're back," he said, a serious note in his voice. "Can I talk to you a minute, Griffin?"

"Sure. Is there a problem?"

"Maybe. Maybe not."

She saw Vinnie give her a look and realized he wasn't going to explain his issue in front of her. Griffin came to the same conclusion.

"Are you taking off, Annie?" he asked her.

"Yes. I'm just going to use the restroom first."

"Good luck with your interview tomorrow."

"Thanks. Maybe I'll drop those ornaments off in the morning, unless you're going to decorate tonight."

"That will be tomorrow's job."

"Then I'll see you later."

As she entered the restroom, she heard Vinnie say, "I'm telling you some shit is going down with our bank account."

Curiosity made her leave the door slightly open, and while it appeared the men had moved down the hall to the office, their conversation was fairly loud.

"I'm sure it's just a glitch," Griffin said.

"You better hope so. Or we're not going to make it through the Christmas season."

She frowned at Vinnie's words. The bar was always crowded. How could they be short on money?

"And Shari was late again today," Vinnie continued. "Not only that, when I took the trash out, some dude in a van was yelling at her. It looked heated. He took off when he saw me."

"Did you ask her about it?"

"She said the guy followed her into the lot, saying she cut him off in traffic, that he was a crazy road rage driver. She told me not to worry. But after what happened the other day, I don't like it. And now with all this other banking shit—"

"Yeah, I get it," Griffin said. "We need to look into it—all of it."

As the office door closed on their discussion, she shut the restroom door and stared at herself in the mirror, questions swirling around in her head. Had some jerk really followed Shari into the parking lot because he was annoyed she'd cut him off? Could he have possibly been the same man who had tried to run her and Megan down? Vinnie had said the driver was in a van, not a sedan. That was different, but still…it seemed like a big coincidence.

Was Shari one of Griffin's protected people? Was that why they sounded so worried? There didn't seem to be a lot of love lost between Vinnie and Shari, so why did they keep her around if she was coming in late all the time?

As usual, she had more questions than answers about things that were really none of her business. It was time to head home and focus on her own life.
