CHAPTER 53

　　"Why? Do you require something?" she asked?the man.

　　"The one with you is drunk; we're about to close, but he still won't leave," said the man, who she acknowledged as a bartender.

　　"I'm not with him; I came here by myself," Elodie explained.

　　"But he said the two of you are together," the man explained.

　　Shit! That man made her?a babysitter. She would not have gone if she had known the two of them would meet. But it would be painful to hear if she didn't help him, and she remembered Zander assisting her when she was in danger before. So she went back inside the bar. She noticed him huddled at the table.

　　"Mr., could you please take him in my car? I can't take him alone, and my car is grey," Elodie asked.

　　"Sure, ma'am, but it appears he's carrying a car, probably a black one," said the bartender.

　　"Yeah, I know, but he'll be back tomorrow," she said.

　　"Sure,"

　　"I appreciate it."
