Shadows In Durango

Chapter 54

*****Vincent's POV*****

Pulling up to the second bar which had only just opened, I sigh slightly when seeing that it was also an 'unders' bar which basically meant that they allowed people in who were sixteen or over as long as they didn't attempt to drink any alcohol...

It was a western themed place, with everybody seeming dressed up for the night in cowboy hats and denim.

Slamming my car door shut, I draw a few nearby eyes from a group of guys before whispers are heard and they quickly divert their gazes. I choose to ignore it, not in the mood to question their whispers, as I walk through the sea of people - noting that it seems like a busy place.

They've got to be in here...

I think, pushing open the doors and not giving the staff member outside any time to even greet me or to show me in.

I stand in the entrance, taking a minute to survey the entirety of the place, the tables, the bar, the bathrooms, the dance floor - as I glance past some guys before finding Emma amongst them.

Her arms were up in the air as one of the guys took her by the hand and spun her around causing for her to squeal happily.

Isn't she talking with Reid? I thought that they were getting close...

I decide that I'll be sure to mention this incident to him later, having only spoke with him at the start of the night about how he actually liked Emma and planned on apologising to Sofia as soon as he sees her... which was completely out of character for him too.

So for Emma to be up in here, dancing against some random guy, was completely disrespectful to him and I never expected it from a girl like her - so quiet and reserved.

Guys chasing after you and throwing themselves at you! You don't have any fucking standards! Dying your hair porn star blonde, what's next?
