The Revanant!

Dave yawned and opened his eyes to what was becoming a familiar sight, the inside of his hotel room.

"What a weird dream."

He looked at his phone. He'd gotten four texts, three of them from Vanessa.

"Damn, I forgot she invited me to come see her modeling gig."

Dave sent her an apology for missing the show and promised to make it up to her.

The other message was from Zoe. She wanted to meet for coffee and talk about the meeting between her father and the Giovannis yesterday.

He ordered room service then got out of bed and took a quick shower while he waited for the food to arrive.

After breakfast Dave stepped across the hallway to Ralph's door and knocked but wasn't at all surprised when there was no response. The chance his friend was awake was truly miniscule. Ralph slept like the dead, even Dog would have a hard time raising him.
