Chapter 228: Getting Answers IV

"Not yet." Ewan spoke softly when he saw the lady make an attempt to undress herself.

He maintained the faux-lustful expression, giving her a look over, deliberately lingering on her breasts to give off the impression that he was actually taken by her.

"What’s the matter, handsome?" The lady spoke sultrily, leaning forward, placing her hands on his chest. Her touch was practiced, almost a profession, yet it left Ewan unfazed.

"I need something from you first." Ewan replied, letting the well-manicured hands remain on his chest for the moment. He had no choice.

"And what do you need, handsome?"

"I need information on the outsiders your mother gave lodging to, between yesterday, and this morning." Ewan stated, his eyes narrowed with purpose.

The lady, whom Ewan never bothered to know her name, opened her mouth like an ’O’ and then nodded. "Is that all?"

Ewan nodded curtly.

"That’s nothing then. I thought you were going to tell me to pick a safe word or something... you know..."

Ewan didn’t bother giving wings to that veiled suggestion.

When the lady saw that Ewan was really serious, she shrugged her shoulders, a frown masking her face. "We just had one. Quite old. Said he came to have a taste of the countryside. Though to me, he looks like one that is running. I’m sure he is just here to recoup and then zap away. Aunt says it’s none of our business, that we only have the job to serve the patrons, no matter who they are, so long as they are paying money."

"Can you describe him?" Ewan pressed on, excitement budding within him. Finally!

"Yeah. Average height, blonde hair, sunken eyes, and pale cheeks, a bit robust, was looking rich too, just like you and your friend back at the bar."

Ewan bobbled. That was Zack, quite alright. "So, where is he now? Is he in the inn?"

The lady pouted in response, pressing herself closer to Ewan. Her scent, a mix of cheap perfume and something else indefinable, filled the air.

"Can’t that wait until later, handsome. Look! I’m already ready for you..." She whispered into his right ear, her hand slipping from his chest down to his belly, and then to the...

Ewan held her hand, stopping her movement. He had little tolerance for games, and he had even less tolerance for being toyed with. "Information first. And then we can work it all out as much as you want."

The lady smiled, happy with the deal. "Alright then, as you wish, handsome. He is not currently at the inn."
