After taking his wife to her spa appointment, Hypnos climbed back into their hired car and took a little nap on the way to his destination. He had some meetings later in the afternoon, but business played second fiddle to all of his other plans, as trivial as they were.
The driver headed downtown and stopped in front of the Golden Gate Hotel. His passenger, who was still sleeping when they arrived, awoke with a sluggish start at a beep of the horn. Once he'd pulled himself together and stumbled out of the car, Hypnos dismissed the driver and headed for the Bay City Diner, his stomach growling on the way.
A few people turned and looked at the small, sleepy, strangely-dressed man that walked into the Diner, but the waitress just smiled and showed him to a table. One of the perks of being a regular. After nipping over to the bar, the waitress returned and took his order. Hypnos ordered a coke and a cheeseburger and tucked his napkin into the top of his t-shirt as he waited for his meal.
