When they arrived at the Lucky Lady Lodge, the porch lights were shining on the outside. Lights shone through the bar’s windows at the front of the building.

“I didn’t know the bar was open during the remodel,” Dezi said as they walked through the lobby. “Let’s see what’s going on.”

Dezi led the way up the steps and across the porch to the open French doors leading into the bar.

The Lucky Lady’s bar had escaped most of the damage from the explosion in the mine.

The only casualty had been the massive mirror behind the bar. As Dezi stepped through the doors, she smiled. “No wonder Molly and Parker opened the bar today.”

“Why? What’s the special occasion?”

Dezi pointed to the back of the bar. “The mirror arrived today. Now, the bar looks just like it did back in the late 1800s when the Lucky Lady was first built. It’s my favorite room in the lodge.”

Every wall in the bar had sumptuous wood trim. The bar itself was a work of ornately carved wooden art. The entire bar represented a bygone era when craftsmen took pride in their skills.

Several tables had been dragged together, and a group of men sat around them, drinking beer, laughing and talking about their day’s adventures.

“Must be the fishing tournament guests,” Dezi said. “I guess they had a good event.”

Grimm touched Dezi’s arm and nodded toward the bar. “Parker and Molly are manning the bar.”

“We should see if they need a break.” Dezi set off across the floor. “I’ll bet they’re tired after a long day of demolition.”

Molly wiped her arm across her forehead and then filled a mug full of draft beer. She set it on a tray and asked, “What can I get you?” She finally looked up and grinned. “Dezi, Grimm, it’s about time you got back. We’re all dying to know what happened in Bozeman.”

“You two look like you could use some help.”

Molly nodded. “We’ve been serving since just before six o’clock when the fishing group came in from the tournament dinner. Have you two had anything to eat?”

Dezi shook her head. “Not since breakfast. We’ve been busy chasing leads, then made a quick stop at Hank Patterson’s place before coming back here. Would you like me to tend the bar or rustle up some grub?”

Molly grinned. “Is grub a term a fancy chef should use for food?”

Heat rose in Dezi’s cheeks. “So much has happened today, I’m lucky to get coherent words out of my mouth. And I’m so hungry, I’m borderline hangry.” She glanced toward Grimm. “I bet you’re ready to eat a whole side of beef. Remind me, why did we skip lunch?”

He laughed. “The day flew. We were leaving Bozeman before I realized it was getting late.”

“Tell you what,” Molly said. “If you two could take over the bar, Parker and I will make sandwiches out of the ham you left for us to gnaw on.”

“Are you sure?” Dezi said. “I should make the sandwiches since you hired me to be the lodge chef.
