Two hours later, after helping out another contact on a separate job, Jin finds himself at the pub. He was increasingly irritated by the most recent events and figured he could have a drink. He slowly steps inside and surveys the surroundings. The smell of various alcoholic beverages and the putrid smell of vomit filled the area. Ignoring it for the moment, Jin moves to the bar and sits down. The waitress spots him and flashes a coy smile before sauntering over towards him. “Hi hon, what are you having?” “Give me your strongest drink and some shots. Keep them coming.” She smiles and quickly brings back his request, watching in amazement as the man downs the drink in one gulp. Every five minutes she would continue to bring shot after shot, Jin easily knocking back the drinks.
A few minutes later and the door swings open and reveals Jin’s target entering. Kalaus’ movements were sluggish and a scowl was on his face as he moved to an empty seat on the far end of the bar. The waitress, who was currently in the middle of pouring another round of shots for Jin, quickly acknowledges him. “I’ll be right with you!” she says as she moves towards Jin. “Fucking useless. Just hurry the fuck up woman. The longer I’m sober the more irritated I’ll get.” A frown spreads across her face as she quickly gets rid of it and reverts back to her usual persona. As she places the shot down and turns to service Kalaus, a raise of Jin’s hand stops her. She looks at him expectantly as he reaches into his bag and pulls out a sack of jewels. The waitress’s eyes widen as she glances in the bag and sees its contents. It was at least ten times her salary. Keep his eyes forward while he downed the shot, he begins to speak. “If you see anything out of the ordinary tonight, ignore it.” Her eyes dart while she attempts to contemplate what he means but assumes she’ll know when it happens. Nodding and thanking him silently, she takes the sack and goes to attend to Kalaus. He sighed as the first part of his job had been completed, now he needed to wait.
