Jeremy entered the Grill. He still had some time before school and this just couldn’t wait. He looked at the bar and to his relief Veronica was on duty. He walked to the bar and sank down on a stool.
“What can I get you, kid?” Veronica asked with a demeaning look.
“Do bạn have a bia mat? And a pen?” Jeremy asked secretive. Veronica gave him a bia mat and a pen and Jeremy scribbled something down. He shove the mat to Veronica.
“I want in” it said.
“You can’t just sign up, bạn know” Veronica said. “I need to know I can trust you. Isn’t your sister involved with vampires, didn’t bạn used to ngày ma cà rồng and witches?”
“That’s over now” Jeremy defended himself. “I got off the rails, I Mất tích control over my life”
“How do I know bạn won’t lose it again?” Veronica asked.
“I don’t, that’s why I need to get in” Jeremy answered. “Vampires have controlled my life and my sister’s life for too long. Elena can’t resist them, so I have to do something”
Veronica looked away, thinking deeply. Then she took a deep breath.
“Okay, I’m not saying bạn can tham gia us” she started us and she wrote something on another bia mat. “But meet me tonight at this address. Come after dark” she said.
“After dark?” Jeremy checked.
“Yeah” Veronica nodded. “You’re not afraid of the dark, are you?”
“No, of course not” Jeremy replied. He jumped off the stool. “I have to get to school. Thank bạn for considering my participation”
That being đã đưa ý kiến he walked out of the Grill.
