The best medicine to cure such awkwardness is alcohol, so I flagged down a bar maid and got ‘ein mass,’ or a liter stein of beer if you prefer. Th... beer was good. It was free too, so it tasted better than normal. Somehow the barmaid forgot to strong arm me for the tab. In a European bar you always pay your tab when you leave. I got use to this custom but observed at Oktoberfest she was asking the Italians to cough up the euros as soon as the beer hit the table. Despite what the people in high. “I suggest you stop before you get hurt, I-”“WHAT!? You a mere human, hurt the goddess of the hunt!? I think you are greatly delusional.” Walking around Ephus, never taking her eyes off him, she knelt to check Aphrodite. Her eyes flew wide when she felt how much more power Aphrodite had. Coming to her feet, the redhead started toward Ephus again menacingly, issuing a slight growl.“Artemis!” A rather loud female voice came from somewhere behind the redhead. This caused the redhead to freeze in. The truth was, he told himself, she was good and he was glad now that he had accepted her offer of the deputyʼs position even if he did have to swallow a little pride. She was demanding but fair. What more could you ask of a boss? Besides, she wasnʼt seeing anyone and even though it was against her policy -- well you never knew. As she folded the phone and attached it to her weapons belt he moved to her side offering the coffee.“Morninʼ. Howʼs Ben?”
“Same old, same old. He just canʼt seem to. . But I was scared too" she admitted.Emily and Rick, unhurt, sprang from behind Lara."It 's good to see you. You scared the hell out of me!" Rick said."Alex police officers want to talk about the accident," said her mother.Alex nodded and let herself be guided to a small room where two men inuniform were waiting, with a third person in civilian clothes. It was ashort middle aged woman, dressed in serious and formal clothes."Miss Alex Desmond, I guess," she said coldly. It was not a question.She.
