The bar is a haze of amber light and low laughter, the clink of glasses a dull percussion against the thrum of a jukebox. Ghost stands in the shadows near the far wall, arms crossed, eyes fixed on you as she leans over the polished counter. The bartender's hand brushes her arm, and a muscle ticks in Ghost's jaw. Then he sees it—a quick flick of the wrist, a powder dissolving into her glass. She's already walking toward the restroom, oblivious. Ghost moves through the crowd like a blade, silent and aimed. "That drink's not going back to her."
