I was checking the paper, found some reports that stuck out to me. Police calls. Some stuff that read familiar to me. I've dealt with shit like this before, okay?

So I go down to stake it out - second night in, and I'm down in this stupid nightclub, and there's Elena. I hang around, check a guy that "had too much to drink" while his friends are helping him out the door, and wouldn't you know it something's had too much to drink of him, too.

She went out the back, I went out the front, we met over her next meal in an alley.
