Another Saturday night. Where the hell had the week gone?
It
was amazing how quick time could fly when you were rotating between
getting your ass kicked and kicking some ass. The bad guys just never
seemed to pay attention to nine to five hours and you busted your ass
all week long with odd hours and even odder projects.
By the time
the weekend rolled around, Chloe was more than ready to relax at bit
and have a few uncomplicated drinks. Ok, maybe more than a few but that
was to be expected when your body sported more bruises than a cheetah
had spots. It was a hazard of the job but that didn't ever make it
easier and it wasn't any wonder more than a few of the old timers were
alcoholic.
After all, the whiskey helped dull the pain and it was
better than all the questions a doctor would ask before prescribing
pain meds. As a hunter, questions weren't something any of them looked
forward to and avoided at all costs. Instead, she took her comfort in a
brown bottle or a pint of medicinal liquor. Better know as Jack, Jim and
Jose. A girls three best male friends.
That thought in mind,
Chloe Reynolds showered up, dressed up and headed out on the town.
Thankfully, there was a decent bar down the road from her hotel room so
she didn't have to go far before finding good atmosphere and rockin
music.
Feeling quite at home the moment she walked through the
door, she let a grin spread over her lips and headed for the front
counter. For a Saturday night, the place was buzzing but it didn't take
long to order a drink and then head to the pool table area to see if
there were any good games going. As much as she loved a good race in her
car, a good pool game came in a close second. That is, as long as she
was winning money while playing.
Finding an empty table on the
edge of the pool area, Chloe made herself comfortable and settled back
to watch. After a few minutes, she smirked and got up to lay her money
down on the edge.
"Ya'll mind if a lady tries her hand?" she asked sweetly.
