Chapter 6 part 1

The Bar

Shaleigh's POV

We left to find Jonathan and Rick at the bar. Our ears were filled with native music as we entered the bar area of the hotel. We spotted Jonathan and Rick right away. We cut through the crowd; we were right behind them and I ran into a heavy man. I looked at the man and realized I bumped into Winston.

"Good to see you Miss Shaleigh and Miss Tamaryn." Winston gave us a drunken smile.

"It's nice to see you again Winston." We returned the smile.

"You know that I was telling O'Connell that there hasn't been a single challenge worthy of a man like me." He began to rumble on about the Great War, and how he wished that he would have died with them. 'It must be awful to deal with survivor's guilt alone.' I thought to myself. Both Tamaryn and I really do enjoy Winston's company, but we really, really wanted a drink. "Well I am probably boring you two lasses about my past, so I'll just run along back to the airfield, have a good day ladies, and stay out of trouble and don't beat the boys up too much." He laughed and left us.

"Are you two going to drink or are y'all just gonna stand there?" Donovan hollered at us.

"Defiantly drink!" We both said in unison. We joined our friends and sat next to them.

"What do you two ladies want to drink?" asked the bartender.

"I'll have a shot of vodka straight." I told him, as he started to pour the vodka into the shot glass, I gave a long sigh and looked t the bartender. "You know what? Just leave the bottle will ya?" He did as he was told.

"Isn't that strong for a lady?" A familiar voice said behind me right before I was going to take a swig of it.

"Yes it is but I'm not a normal lady. Now am I?" I turned around to see Mr. Henderson and Mr. Daniels.

"Well ain't that the truth?!" Mr. Henderson laughed, while Mr. Daniels nodded. I ignored them while I turned around and took a swig from the bottle.

"Well the damn boat doesn't leave till tomorrow." Mr. Henderson said as Jonathan made a smart ass remark, that made me laugh a little bit to myself.

"So how's your friend?" Ricked asked as I turned to Daniels.

"He had his tongue and eyes ripped out. How would you be?" Daniels said as he was fixing to leave. "Oh and thanks for helping those guys save him." Daniels patted me on the back.

"You're welcome, but I wish I could have gotten to him before that though." I shared a concerned look towards him, then turning my gaze back to the vodka bottle and took a big swig of it and slammed it back down.

"You did the best you could so don't blame yourself." He smiled.

"Do you want a drink?" I offered him the bottle of Vodka, he nodded and took a swig and started coughing. "Ugh! How can you drink this?" He asked and handed me back the bottle.

"Honestly I don't know." I laughed and ordered him a bottle of the finest bourbon they had.

/Time skip/

We all took another swig of our drinks, but we all shared the same disgust face and none of us could take it another second of the dinks in our mouths and we all spitted them out.

"Ugh that tasted like blood!" I yelled and took a good long look at the vodka bottle and watched the clear alcohol started to turn blood red. "What the hell?!"

"And the rivers and waters of Egypt ran red and were as blood." Jonathan recited the scripture from the bible.

"He's here." Rick said as he ran out of the bar and started to look for Evy, as everyone followed behind and we all nearly broke the door off its hinges as we came running out.
