Chapter 30: Drinks

When I went inside the bar, there was a new bartender. It was a young woman, probably around my age, or slightly older. I sat down and asked her what her name was.
"Grace." She told me. She looked kind of sleepy, but she had a smile on her face.

"Are you new? Did the other guy die?" I asked her.
She laughed. "I'm the bartender's daughter. I've been covering for him while he took care of some business."

"Oh. I guess that makes sense."
I decided to stop talking. I wasn't in the mood for banter and I really didn't feel comfortable conversing with her. At least, while I was sober.

"What's your name?" She asked me.
I didn't trust her just yet.
"I... am an idiot. But you'll find that out after a couple of drinks."

The real bartender, her father, comes from the back and laughs.

"I didn't know you had a daughter." I told him.

He looked me straight in the eyes and replied,

"I didn't know you were an idiot."

We both smile, and his daughter leaves.
"About time." She said aloud as she left.

The bartender shook and laughed. Then he said, "So, lets get to business. If you tell me what's bothering you, I'll give you free drinks the rest of tonight."

I answered, "Deal, but I want something new. I wanna try a whole new cocktail of stuff.

The bartender made a tsk tsk sound.

"You must be going through a lot."

I smiled and said, "I'm going to tell you the same thing I told your daughter. You'll find out after a couple of drinks."

The bartender pulled out a notepad. "Back to the basics then, huh? What will it be?"

I thought about it for a moment, then said, "First, get a pitcher. Start with a quart of vodka."

The bartender frowned. "Hmm. o-kay."

"Next, use 2 cups of bleach, 5 tablespoons of silver powder, and 2 teaspoons of ground wolfsbane."

The Bartender waved the notepad in my face. He started smiling, though he tried to hide it. "Aren't you a werewolf?"

"That's the point, chief."

The bartender laughed, a big nice laugh that made me feel welcomed and safe despite all the other crap I was dealing with.

  It was nearing midnight, and we were all getting ready to sleep. Isaac insisted on us staying down in the lab, because it was after. If a weak, dying vampire can get passed upstairs security, anybody could sneak up on them.

Of course, Donovan felt the need to ask why Isaac's security was so basic in the first place.
Isaac responded saying that the upstairs is just part of a trap, to lure the vampires deep underground to kill them. He didn't intend on making this building a completely safe place. Isaac's​ worries were mostly about himself, until Jocelyn and Kim came along.
