Hawk and Wolfe

Mick chuckled then suggested it was time to prepare for the encroaching hordes. Ten minutes later, Tony unlocked the front door and the business day began.


Mick eventually managed to get away long enough to go down the street to The Den. He had tried to call his brother several times, but as expected, he was sent directly to Trenton’s voicemail, which was full. He had the feeling his was as well.


When he entered The Den, he looked around, trying to find Trenton in the crowded main room.Maybe he decided he wasn’t up to coming in? Very possible, he figured. He made his way to the bar, easing into a narrow space at the end next to the wall.


“Didn’t expect to see you here,” the bartender, Dan—Mick remembered him and his name with some relief—said a moment later. “Not after seeing the news.”


“I had to get away from the crowds at The Rainbow,” Mick replied. “It’s just as bad here. Not that I’m in the least surprised. Is Trenton around?”
