Chapter 76 - Spirit

Laz just calmly laid his head on the counter and without saying a word, bashed his head on it a few times. Malene looked on with a weird look on her face, wondering what Laz's problem was. At no point did it occur to her that he would act in this manner. Considering the way their interactions had been up until now, she just thought he would flat out refuse and ask her to leave. Even she knew that he didn't have any reason to help her, but she still had to come. As far as she was concerned, he really was the only one she could turn to. It made her angry and hesitant at the same time, but she had never been one to just give up and so here she was. She was expecting a fight or to have to plead a bit with him, maybe even just pay him off. She wasn't expecting this.
