“Yeah, thanks,” I add quietly, still feeling down.
“You ladies are welcome. Let me know if you want anything else.”
I watch as he casually strolls away, as if it’s not bustling in here today.
“Admit it, you need to live on Taugon with us,” Tia says. “The six of them are a force to be reckoned with.”
“You think?”
Tia scoffs. “Could you imagine Zeno and Bastian interrogating people together?”
“No.” I snort as I picture the two of them beating on some poor schmuck. “Speaking of interrogating, have you seen Andred and his team?”
There’s no love lost between him and my three guys, and the possibility of them killing Andred crosses my mind.
“I try to avoid them as much as possible.”
“Why?” I only take a tiny sip, not wanting the full force of vodka to hit me again.
“There’s something wrong with them. I was talking with Jax before you came in; he said they were here earlier today, and the two of them almost came to blows.”
“Jax and Andred?”
“Yes.”
“What about?”
“He said they treated him like a servant, then complained about the food, the drinks…” She shrugs. “Jax thought they were being all superior and picky because he’s Human.”
“Huh. At least Jax didn’t put up with it.”
“Jax is easy going until you push him over his tipping point.”
“Really? Jax?”
Tia nods. “Somehow, Andred is evading my guys. But just wait until Bastian gets ahold of him. He’ll set em’ all straight.”
“Hey, do you…” A loud bang startles us from somewhere down the hall. We look at each other in confusion. “What was that?”
Tia shakes her head. “I have no idea.”
Jax comes out from behind the bar, his eyes shifting all around while everyone else scoots back and rushes out of the bar/restaurant, leaving the three of us alone.
“Where did that bang come from?” Jax asks, eyebrows pulling low as he wipes his hands on a white towel.
At the same time, Tia and I push up from the table.
“Let’s go find out,” Tia says briskly as she heads toward the door.
Walking down the hallway, it’s chaos everywhere. Both Kintolf and Humans race toward us with panicked looks plastered on their faces. There’s smoke billowing at the end of the corridor, curling around the corner.
We stop, staring at the smoke.
“What’s happening?” I ask anxiously.
The thought of something that would make Kintolf run…
“I don’t know,” Tia replies.
