Saw That Coming 4
It was another weeknight at the “ Bar & Steel” and Hugo Frisbie was again polishing the countertop of his less than respectable establishment. Not that he minded that his place of business was considered a watering hole for the rowdy and rugged cliental of Persephone’s underbelly. Still even folk such as these preferred drowning their sorrows, or making their shady deals in a place that was a bit cleaner than a dusty street corner or animal infested crossroad. A cleaner place meant happier patrons, and happier patrons meant more coin.
Hugo looked across the room at the folk that were inside his place of business…….nine in total. Two on stools at the other end of the bar, two at a table in the center of the room, one in a dark corner in the far back. His right hand leisurely grasping the form of an empty liquor bottle and his head resting comfortably on the tabletop where he sat alone.
There was another using his facilities,……..but the people who were of most interest to the barkeep were the three sitting at a table in a more light area in front near the dirty glass windows. Hugo recognized the three, well, one of them anyway. The youngest was Billy. Billy Wild, Bester, the other two he had seen before but didn‘t know their names. Not that it mattered, many of his patrons liked and wanted it that way. Still this was his place, and, wasn’t it his duty to look after his cliental?
Billy Bester was by no means a big spender at the “Bar & Steel“, but he was a good lad and Hugo had grown somewhat fond of the boy.
"You can't take the sky from me!"
Bester’s not a bad guy, maybe just misguided. I know a few Besters in real life actually. Of course even folk who are misguided can get other people in deep trouble……hmmmmmmmmmm.
Thanks to you both for your comments. Part 5 is up. Hope you enjoy. To quote Mal from the BDM,
“Maybe we get a look at who’s pulling strings. We go in.”
