41 Clue 2 (1/2)

Max and Corinne spent three hours straight, wasting their time on the bar. They are waiting for the shift end of a particular bartender. Corinne was fine, she was trained to situations like this. Max, on the other hand, couldn't stay still for more than fifteen minutes. He tried doing various things. However, it didn't take long for him to find his passion.

Darting and Arm wrestling.

While playing dart and wrestling Max had fun. His aim was perfect, strength was unparalleled. he even bosted drunken bikers saying no one could beat him. It was uncountable how many times Corinne rolled her eyes. He was obviously using his different racial advantages to bully innocent drunks.

Whatever Corinne think about him, Max didn't care, he was simply too happy. He earned a few hundred dollars without breaking a sweat. Why would he care about what others thought about him? He didn't mind spending some more time inside this fun place.

A few more minutes passed, the bartender started to become agitated. Time to time she glances at the wristwatch and back door, It was as if she was expecting someone.

This didn't go unnoticed by Max and Corinne.

”Did you find something useful?” Corinne asked keeping her eyes on the bartender. Earlier she noticed Max using his charm to start up a conversation with her.

Max looked over Corinne and drank a mouthful of Virgin Mary (Bloody Mary) before answering.

”Her name is Nicol, she lives a few miles away from here, Single mom…glup!...hey! This is really good!”

”What about her face and pierced marks? Did you ask her?” Corinne sounded a bit annoyed. But she tried not to lose her cool.

Max didn't care about her annoyance, he continued to drink his virgin mary ”I did ask, but she said bathroom door hit her by accident, as for two marks she said it was her birthmarks, she is rather convincing”

Corinne was about to comment on something. But she stopped and look behind Max. Curiously Max turned over, he saw Nicol was talking with a woman in the same attire as her.

”Looks like her shift ended, let's go” Corinne stood up soon as Nicol disappeared behind the 'limited entry' door. Her plan is to follow Nicol and interrogate poor woman.

”Wait! My drink isn't over, look!” Max made a difficult face to show his half-finished drink.

”Kid…fine, I will be in outside. if that woman left before you come, don't blame me” disregarding about Max reply, Corinne stormed out.

On the other hand, Max listened carefully to Corinne's fading footsteps. When he makes sure she went hiding somewhere Max hurriedly stood up. He strode past the tables and counter make his way toward the presumable locker room of the bar employees.

Just when he about entered, the big-build male bartender came between door and Max.

”Hey! You can't go in there” he looked coldly at Max. Every once in while drunken perverts try their luck same manner. The Bartender is all too familiar with situations like this. Stopping people like this is one of his main goals. That cold look came from experience.

”I'm alright, go back to your work” looking at big guy's eyes Max hushed.

”Yes!”The male bartender nodded and walk back to his previous post as if nothing happened.

After the big guy returned, Max confirmed no one noticed the little incident and entered the limited area. There were two rooms with signs on the door. First, one named male and the second one said, female.

Max immediately noticed small sounds emitting from behind the door of the female changing room. Positively, Nicol is still inside, getting ready to leave. He leaned on the opposite side of the wall waiting for Nicol to come out.
