Chapter 54: Brothers Perry

The bar felt quiet, bartender missing and likely sent to his own room to await Crew's endless interviewing. I didn't think I'd miss the soft strains of repurposed pop music that had filled the air, battling the sloshing waterfall of the feature that still spilled its endless wash down the far wall. I could only guess the stereo shut off when the power went out and needed to be reactivated, while the feature was on its own circuit. How special for it.

I quickly spotted the Perry brothers at the back of the room, huddled together talking at a table, a bottle of something they must have pinched from behind the bar between them. But only Noah had a glass, partially full, Ethan sitting back with his arms crossed over his chest and a furious look on his face.
