Kara's gaze went to Hallbjorn as soon as she entered the main room. It was obvious that something had happened, because his knuckles looked as if they had taken a beating. But Hallbjorn guarded what he was feeling. In fact, he showed nothing. When he did not look at her, Kara became worried that he was more hurt then he was letting on.<br/><br/>She sat at the table, and frowned when Hallbjorn did not sit down as well. Then Tarek drew her attention. Kara was confused by what he meant when he said there was a payment to settle. But then Hallbjorn asked about his debt being settled, and she was able to piece together what was going on.<br/><br/>Kara didn't want to linger, because she worried about Hallbjorn. She stood and smiled at Nix and Tarek. “It was very nice to meet you both. Tarek, I will call you later.” Because whatever she decided, he deserved the courtesy of at least being informed.<br/><br/>Tarek stood, and gave her a gracious bow. “I look forward to your call.”<br/><br/>Nix simply blew her an air kiss before returning her attention to Bertil the bat. Kara shook her head, then left the bar with Hallbjorn. She could not miss the wrecked car in the parking lot, or the six werewolves that were groaning in pain. Her heart sped up as she recalled other times she had seen such things. Instinct made her want to leave immediately with Hallbjorn and get away from the threat.<br/><br/>It seemed that Hallbjorn was more then ready to leave. After they were in the truck and the bar was out of sight, she turned to him and reached out to touch his hand. “Did they hurt you, Hallbjorn?”
