Out of the corner of my eye I could see the Maitre d of the restaurant heading toward our table and almost as if against my will I couldn't stop myself from glancing up at the chandelier again. I took a nervous sip of my wine as he arrived.
Finally I glanced up at him.
"Yes?" I asked in my most sweetest voice.
"Were you in here a few weeks ago with a blue haired woman and a blond?" The man asked with a heavy, and probably fake French accent.
"Um, why no. I haven't been out with Alli or Mihoshi in months." I replied.
The headwaiter grimaced. "No it was not Alli or Mihoshi. We know those two and have already banned them for 'incidents' These two women were with you and a Mister Weirdbard?"
I could feel myself growing nervous and worried that I might lose control and lose my human appearance and suddenly they would find a small imp sitting at the table.
Yeah that would probably not go over big. Not because they would be shocked by my transformation or anything like that. This was after all the Metro Nexus. They were used to dealing with all sorts here. It was just that 13 was well known here and not favorably.
I swallowed and managed to squeak out. "No, sorry doesn't ring any bells. I can't imagine whom you have me confused with."
The Maitre D eyed me suspiciously but after a moment nodded his head and went his way.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the chandelier just in time for a overly large crab claw to fall from it to land right in my cleavage.
Without a word to either Vic or Miki I reached out and took the bottle away from Miki and filled my glass all the way to the brim before swallowing it all in one drink.
