The bar's interior had a cosy, elegant feel to it. Old fashioned chandeliers cast a warm yellow glow over smooth woodern floorboards. There was a small bar nestled among a sea of tables and leather back chairs, along with pool tables and dart boards for entertainment, and a mounted TV set on the far wall showed a live football game.

The bar's few occupants were a sleepy bunch. Teenagers preferred more modern nightclubs and discos downtown. Instead, the bar was filled with half-asleep men past their forties, probably office workers looking to relax after a stressful workday. Only a handful raised their heads, giving the lone teenager a brief look before turning back to the football game.

Still, he remained wary. The bodyguard noted several figures in the crowd who glared at him with caution, before quickly looking away. Though they wore casual clothing, he caught glimpses of tattoos, bulges under clothing revealing holstered weapons, and the general air of menace they radiated. He had met enough mobsters in this lifetime to recognize one on sight.

One of them crossed the room to Dalton, wearing a comradely smile. The bodyguard faked a similar expression and allowed a brief hug. Greetings were exchanged, and Dalton spent a few minutes chatting casually to the man. His name was Ash, one of the Boss' personal assistants, he had learned from previous visits. Ash seemed to trust Dalton, and often had long chats whenever he visited, revealling plenty of gossip and secrets each time.

"So how's Boss Riley doing?" he asked after a while.

"Oh, he's just chilling upstairs in the private rooms. Say, you wanted to meet him right Dalt? Had something to talk with him about?"

"Yeah. Think he's willing to listen?"

"Sure! I'll go let em' know you're here. You just wait a while, have a drink or something. It's on me."

"Thanks man."

With that, Ash retreated through a doorway marked "No entry, Staff only" while Dalton ordered a cheap srink and settled down to wait in a comfy chair.
