The bank robbery had went well. But something else weighed on Clyde's mind right now. As always, he and Buck had went to their favorite bar. It was just on the outskirts of town - a little local place, a bit rundown on the outside but the inside was nice. As usual he could hear Buck behind him carrying on & bragging with some people. He wasn't worrying about someone here turning him in. Everyone here was family or friends. They practically grew up around here - on the wrong side of the tracks so to speak. In this neighborhood it was no secret what they did for a living, though he doubted half the people in here really believed Buck's stories, true as they may be.<br/><br/>There was something else weighing on Clyde's mind besides that. It wasn't even the deaths of the two women. One had been warned, so she brought it upon herself. The other, sorry to say, had been a casualty. When you use a gun that sprays out that many bullets it's not always easy to avoid hitting something so close to your target - or someone. He was sorry for that, but it wasn't even that that troubled him now.<br/><br/>He sat at the bar and nursed his Mint Julep. All he could think about was that woman. First at Clarence's then at the bank. That's what troubled him. She had seen him. It wasn't her turning him in he was worried about. He just didn't want her fingering Clarence for being an accomplice. Would she? He didn't know what kind of friendship the man had with her.<br/><br/>"Hey, sugar. What's wrong, sweet pea?" he almost jumped at the sound. He looked up from his drink. At first he thought he saw the girl. The alcohol was working on him. He blinked. There before him was Savanna Hailey. She was the bartender here, had been for many years. Like the girl she, too had a Southern country accent, but it wasn't nearly as strong. She was older, maybe late fifties. But she still looked good for her age. A few laugh lines and some greying hair mixing in with her natural blonde showed her age. But her well-toned body and full bosom was enough to make most men forget.<br/><br/>He took a drink of his Mint Julep. He tried to give her a smile.<span style="color: #B7410E">"Nothing. Just a lot on my mind is all."</span><br/><br/>Savanna Hailey stepped back from the bar a bit. Just enough for him to see her in short cut off stonewash jean shorts and a red and black gingham top, low cut with the sleeves rolled up past her elbows and tied in the front to show off her stomach. He grinned. Couldn't get much countrier than that. "I know what you need, doll." She undid the top button on her blouse and motioned for him around the counter. "C'mere and let mommy make it all better."<br/><br/>He laughed and downed his drink.<span style="color: #B7410E">"Not tonight."</span>Most other nights he probably would have taken her up on that offer. He'd actually taken her up on that very offer about a year ago. Of course he was sure Buck probably took her up on that same offer that same year.<br/><br/>He got up and started to leave the bar. Buck grabbed his arm before he reached the door.<span style="color: #8C92AC">"Hey, where're you going?"</span>The man was slurring bad. Way too much to drink.<br/><br/><span style="color: #B7410E">"I've got something to take care of."</span>He was starting to slur a bit too. No where near as much as Buck.<br/><br/><span style="color: #8C92AC">"How'my gettin' home?"</span><br/><br/>He smiled.<span style="color: #B7410E">"You'll find a way."</span>Before his brother could say anything else he called out to the bar.<span style="color: #B7410E">"The next round's on Buck."</span>Everyone in the bar cheered. Buck was too drunk to care at this point and just waved his brother off as he went back to yaking it up with the group at his table.<br/><br/>Moments later he was parked outside Clarence's house. It wasn't unusual for him to make a casual visit to his friend. It was unusual for him to make one this late at night. He knocked on the door and waited for Clarence to wake up and open the door. He smelled like the bar and probably shouldn't have drove here. But he needed to find that girl!
