“Let us say that I'm a bodyguard you hired on your own dime?”<br/><br/>He liked the idea of that, lying to someone who by her gaze in a pompous asshole. Yeah that seemed like a great ole time.<br/><br/>“Do I have to make up a name like Engelbert Smithington? OR can I be Ed...I've always wanted to be Ed.”<br/><br/>He was starting to loosen up a little bit now, she smiled and actually thought of a way for them to spend a bit more time together, it meant that it at least wasn't one sided. Where would this go? He didn't know, thinking ahead wasn't a strong suit for him in the least little bit.<br/><br/>“Yeah coffee is this way, found a good place when I had to was the taste of this terrible beer off my tongue. I was starting to get pissed off that I waited for nearly a week, but I think it was the fates smiling at me just a touch.”<br/><br/>He turned and motioned for her to follow him down the street. It was in a better lit area than the bar was, a 24 hour coffee & doughnut place. Made the best Boston Cream he had ever had the pleasure of eating. Just a little place and when he walked it a woman with skin of leather smiled and walked over to give Luther a warm hug.<br/><br/>“I see you got that fucker...wonderful.”<br/><br/>He didn't notice Jessie at first and was a bit surprised when she entered behind the fallen one. She grinned and looked to Luther grabbing them both by the hand and leading them to a nice booth in the corner with a good view of the city.<br/><br/>“Sit down you two...I got ya tonight. Two coffees and a bagel with lox for the Fallen and for you dear.”<br/><br/>“Edna...”<br/><br/>The older woman just glared at Luther with a bright smile at the same time. He just had to laugh and shake his head.<br/><br/>“You fought hard tonight, you need something more than a doughnut. Now hush and eat.”<br/><br/>That was perhaps the only woman on the planet that could shut him up like that, he looked to Jessie and shrugged. He was thousands of years older than this woman and she still treated him like a son. To be honest it was nice, having at least one person in the world who cared.<br/><br/>“Edna is...a half demon. Old as hell and can literally punch through a brick wall.”<br/><br/>She tapped him on the forehead.<br/><br/>“I need a head start to get through brick anymore. I'm over eight hundred years old...not as spry as I used to be.”<br/><br/>She winked at Jessie and Luther and get off to get what ever Jessie ordered.<br/><br/>“This place is one of the safest in the city, if you ever need a place to run to.”
