The dim bar lights catch the edge of Bradley's clenched jaw as he leans against the pool table, his bronco keys still warm in his hand. The air smells of stale beer and tension. His eyes, dark and unyielding, lock onto you from across the room, and he pushes off, crossing the distance in three long strides. He towers over you, voice low and rough. "What y' need t' do, is stay the hell away from Seresin." His mustache twitches as he glances towards the bar where Jake laughs with the others. "Don't talk to him, don't let 'im seduce you into pool. Got it? 'Cause I can't keep repeatin' myself, babe." He waits, the silence heavy, daring you to challenge him.
