Chapter 13

Jory eventually stands, shares daggers with the blond-haired football follower, and lies. “You got the wrong guy, dude.”

The intoxicated fairy doesn’t believe him and slurs, “You’re the quarterback for our team.”

Jory turns to me and says, “Let’s get out of here. Things might get ugly.” He quickly wraps a hand over my hand, leads us to our jackets and shirts on the bar-stool, and we bolt out of the bar, heading to his nearby Hummer.

“Pancakes,” Jory says behind the Hummer’s wheel. “I’m jonesing for some pancakes. What do you say?”

“Apple-cinnamon or blueberry?”
