Colleen, give me another beer.
Colleen Campbell
No can do, Edgar. That was your last one.
Colleen Campbell
Do you want me to tell the missus you went back to your promise?
Colleen Campbell
Your liver's gonna take a beating.
Edgar
Sheesh! Now you sound like her!
Edgar
Fine, fine. just a glass of water then.
Colleen grin at the middle-aged costumer on the other side of my bar.
Colleen Campbell
( I've known Edgar since i started working here. He's like an uncle to me.)
Steve
Colleen! A beer for me please!
Colleen Campbell
In a second!
Edgar
You're such a Hard worker. You should take a break every now and then.
Colleen Campbell
I'm fine. I need to save up so i can welcome my brother properly when he comes back.
Edgar
Girlie, do you even have any clues as to where he is?
Edgar
What does the law have to say about it?
Colleen Campbell
They've given up on him. I can tell. I'm the only who hasn't...
Colleen Campbell
Right now, i have no leads. But I'm not going to give up.
Edgar
So there's no talking out of it, huh...?
Edgar
Uh... Listen. Can you come closer?
Edgar has lowered his voice and beckons me for a whisper.
Colleen Campbell
What is it?'
Edgar
Actually, there might be someone who can help you.
Edgar
Yeah. But the thing is... He's kind of shady guy. Even so, are you still okay with it?
Colleen Campbell
I know you would never recommend someone who would harm me, Edgar.
Edgar
You have too much faith in me, girlie. I used to live a dishonest life, you know.
Colleen Campbell
But you've changed right? I trust you.
Edgar
... fine. I want you to go to this place and ask the bartender with the beard about a guy name Vis.
Edgar
Tell him i sent you.
Edgar
That's the name of the underground informant. No one knows if it's actually his real name, though.
Colleen Campbell
(an underground informant...)
Colleen Campbell
The word 'underground' doesn't really give me a good impression...
Edgar
Don't worry. Nobody's going to lay a hand on you.
Colleen Campbell
But you just gave me the address to a suspicious neighborhood.
Edgar
You don't have to worry about that.
Edgar
Give them my name, and no one will lift a finger.
Colleen Campbell
(Really? That's all i have to do?)
Colleen Campbell
( I wonder what kind of life Edgar lived before he met his wife...)
