"That may be true, but we still need to find Hilda. Do you think that I could talk with your girls?" I asked, and Grenada looked hesitant but eventually nodded.
"I suppose it couldn't do any harm, and I would like to get this ss sorted," she said before standing up and going to grab sothing from her desk. She ca back with a key ring jingling in her hands before handing it to . "The girls will be one street over at Marney's, but so of them might be too much of a ss to talk to. If you see any like that, be a dear and take them ho for . I have found them in piles of horse shit before the next day, and they tend not to be as productive for the rest of the day."
"Sure, I can do that. I'm sure that I will be able to help out," I said with a nod before standing up and walking toward the door. As Grenada stepped back from it and opened it for , she smiled warmly at .
"Do bring the keys back after. I will be up for a while, and I will need the keys in the morning to get into my shop. Best wait till tomorrow if you fancy one of my girls; I want them all up first thing in the morning, and it is already getting late," Grenada said as I left the house, and I turned back to see her give a small wink before closing the door.
I laughed lightly at this before turning back towards the street that Grenada had ntioned, and I started to make my way toward Marney's. As I walked, I realized that Grenada Guildmaier was much different from the other mothers in this city, but it seed that she wasn't against having so fun if the mont presented itself. Unlike Lutha and Shallot, who had made it very clear what they were interested in.
I chuckled so more till I got closer to what I assud was the bar as the sounds of loud talking started to get louder as I got closer.
Marney's bar from the outside looked run down, but it was obvious that the bar got a lot of business from all the people going in and out. I opened the door and stepped into a world of noise and chaos. There were girls everywhere, dancing, drinking, and laughing loudly on one side of the room while several more won were at the bar talking and flirting with other won.
I could see why Grenada had said that she wasn't sure if her girls would be up for talking to .
I started to walk across the room towards the bar, and as I did, a few of the won noticed and seed to recognize . They started to whisper amongst each other before one of them walked up to , "You must be the woman everyone is talking about! You're here for Hilda, right? I can help you find her, but it will cost you."
"What do you an?" I asked, confused, and she smiled slyly at .
"The price of information is high in this place, more so when it involves sothing as big as what everyone is looking for. You will have to give sothing in return if you want the information," she said before reaching into her pocket and pulling out a small vial filled with powder. "This here should do the trick."
"Cindy, get away from her with your scams!" Another woman growled as she ca over and pushed the other smaller woman out of the way and slung an arm over my shoulder, pressing her ballooning chest into .
"Brindle! Stop! This powder is sure to help her find Hilda! It is special, and it costs money!" Cindy yelled as Brindle pushed her away, looking at .
"Co with , sweetheart; I know sothing that can help you out," she said before grabbing my hand and pulling over to the back of the bar, where there was a small booth.
We settled down in the booth, and Brindle started to explain. "The powder that she was trying to sell you is sothing special; it will knock you out cold, and then you will wake up with lighter pockets and a bad headache. Better to just drink and create your own hangover."
"Really? And no one does anything about her?" I asked curiously before two won ca over to our table with three drinks and pushed Brindle farther into the booth.
"This is for you, Cat God," The first of the two sitting closest to Brindle. She was a tall and slender woman with long dark hair and a sultry voice. "I am Sadie, the head bouncer at this here bar."
The second of the won slid closer to and flashed a mischievous grin. She was shorter than Sadie, with fiery red hair and a petite fra. "My na is Sonya, and I'm one of the girls here at Marney's. We saw you co in, so we thought ya might need so help since one of Grenada's girls scooped you up!"
"Help with what?" I asked before taking a sip of my drink; it was strong, and I could feel the warmth of the alcohol running through my veins as I swallowed it.
"Well, Brindle here is known to be pretty rough with the girls," Sadie said, and Brindle rolled her eyes.
"The girls want a good ti, so I give it to them. Hardly my fault if they can't walk after, and I heard this woman was different. Took down the entire Grashalor family in one night!" Brindle said, giving a hungry look.
"Wait, she did what?!" Sonya asked, and Sadie nodded her head.
"Yeah, that is pretty big talk today. A couple of the Grashalor girls ca in for drinks, but they looked exhausted. you must really be good at what you do to tire an entire family of won out!" Sadie giggled, and Brindle nodded.
"This is why I scooped her up! If there is anyone that can give a taste of my own dicine, then I think this Cat God would be the one!" Brindle laughed, and I shook my head with a grin.
