Chapter Eleven

“You’re sure about this,” Jack said, as we approached the bar where his contact had agreed to meet with me. I nodded.

“You put me on this trail, so I would hope you’re not getting cold feet now,” I pointed out.

“I know. But I was hoping you’d be able to talk the guy into coming to your office if I escorted him,” Jack said. I shrugged.

“He didn’t want to come to me. He wanted me to come to him. Besides which, it wouldn’t have been safe for you to go and get him and leave me alone, would it?”

Jack looked dubious for a moment, but then nodded.

I hadn’t told Shawn about the meet-up I’d put together, because I wanted to find out what I could get, and I didn’t want to add any complications to the situation that I could avoid. Besides which, I didn’t even know where he was. Hopefully somewhere safe. I’d contacted Jack’s friend and he’d insisted on meeting me at a bar he frequented, where it would be his turf. The promise of a lead was worth more to me than being completely safe; I needed to get to the bottom of the situation as soon as possible if I was going to have a head start before they decided to try another attack on me or Shawn. Though really, at this point, what are they going to do? Attack the office? That wouldn’t go well for them, I didn’t think.

I’d changed out of work clothes for the sake of not bringing too much attention to myself. I didn’t need to look like a defense attorney going into a scuzzy bar. So when Jack and I stepped through the doors, while we weren’t greeted warmly, we also didn’t have to deal with everyone staring at us. Jack looked around for our contact, and I glanced around too, taking in the scene. It wasn’t very busy, since it was the middle of the day and presumably even shady men and women had jobs to do. But there were maybe a dozen people in total inside the bar, seated around the room, most of them with beers or hard liquor in front of them.

“That’s our guy,” Jack said quietly, nodding in the direction of a man seated at a booth by himself.

As we headed in his direction, someone else came to the table and sat down. I felt my heart beating faster. I looked at Jack quickly, and he returned the glance with a faint shake of his head, telling me silently that it was fine, even if it was unexpected.

“I’m assuming this guy here is related to what we need to talk about?” I didn’t sit down, but I made sure to pitch my voice so the two men, my contact and his friend, would hear me without the rest of the bar also finding out what I had to say.

“He’s someone who knows the same people,” the man said. I sat down and Jack slid in next to me, and for a moment or two, the four of us just stared at each other, silently.
