I dunno

Dan ignored the hostess, his eyes scanning the bar and lounge area. He didn’t see Byron anywhere.

“I’m meeting someone,” he said dismissively as he walked past her and strolled through the restaurant. He thought he recognized some of the faces at the end of the bar. Maybe they were the guys Byron had left to go talk to earlier.

“Hey, do you guys know Byron?” he asked as he made eye contact with one of them. The guy was clearly still dressed from work, likely drinking with his co-workers before going home.

“Yeah…” the guy said, looking him up and down, trying to place him. “You’re that guy that was in here earlier with that sexy blonde, right?” He looked around at his buddies smiling.

“Yes, that’s me. Is Byron still here?” Dan said, trying to keep these drunk idiots focused.

“He might have left?” The man said, appearing like he was searching through his recollections. “He said he had some business to take care of.”

Dan grimaced at the idea. He had no idea where Byron could have gone. Maybe back to the office.

“I saw him go to the bathroom, but I dunno after that.” Another one shouted a little too loudly.

“Thanks.” Dan left the group and stalked away, eyes looking around. Before he knew it, he decided to make for the bathroom just to check.
