It was late at night, and Emil was tired of being cooped up, alone in his wrecked apartment. He couldn't risk getting in touch with Esme, so he did the next best thing; he sent Shane an e-mail, letting him know to meet him at the bar down the street.
It was bitingly cold out. The kind of weather that required gloves and a scarf, but Emil made due with an old winter coat. The bar was dark and smoke-bursting, and he pulled out his own cigarette as he sat at a table close the stage. When a women came up and danced in front of him, he pulled out a five dollar bill and tucked it in her garter without paying much attention.
He ordered a beer, sat back with his cigarette, and he waited.
