“Did you drive here?” Kat asked.
“Not today…” I replied.
“It’s late. Why don’t you sleep over at my place? It’s close by…” Kat offered kindly.
“Thanks, but I’d rather head back. I have to work tomorrow so…” I said before trailing off with a ‘you know’ look.
“Oh, right. Your day job and all,” Kat murmured in understanding.
I gave her a tired smile because that was all that I could manage at that moment.
“Let’s go…” I told her as I got up from my chair.
It was late but since many people got off work at this time in the entertainment district there were many cabs running at this hour. Getting a ride back to the mansion should be a breeze. It might be a little expensive though, but that was fine by me.
I stretched my arms up high above my head as I walked out of the bar with Kat at my side. The silhouette of a very tall man standing right outside the bar’s entrance stopped me in my tracks.
“Who’s this?” Kat asked as she looked the man up and down with sparkling eyes.
