The bar is dim, air thick with the scent of stale beer and worn wood. A basketball game plays silently on a dusty television screen. At the far end of the counter, you see him: Hank Anderson, slumped forward, his gray hair disheveled, an empty glass sitting near his limp hand. The bartender gives a slight nod in his direction when you inquire. You step closer, and he stirs, blinking up at you with bleary, bloodshot blue eyes. "What do you want?" he grunts, his voice rough as gravel.
