Decisions, decisions.

Shae took Alex to an extremely shady looking building in the downtown area, had a few words with the menacing guy at the front door, and together they went inside. They waited in what Alex could only consider a library, though he doubted the area was used for reading much.

About an hour later, another equally menacing looking man came and got them, walking them upstairs and leading them into a study.

Inside was a muscular man in his 40s-50s with scars crisscrossing his biceps that were on display. To say he was huge would be an understatement. Whatever Alex has been expecting, a man that could dwarf the bouncer Jerome was not it. Idly, Alex wondered if all of him dwarfed Jerome.

Shae gave Alex a quick and knowing grin. He knew what Alex was thinking.
