Mina was sitting in her favorite bar with a bottle of Craig. She had just ended a horrible date and was glad that she had chosen to have it here. Dan had been kind enough to throw the guy out. Dan and Chase opened the pub nine years ago with their dad. The two were very fond of her, even though they came to odds with sports. The boys being Irish and Mina proudly a hundred percent Scottish. They held her in high regard and anyone who hurt her or insulted her in anyway usually got a beating.
"Where'd you find this dick?" Chase asked. His face was slightly red with anger. Being the youngest, he had little to no impulse control.
"Oi." Dan spoke with a grin. "Mina here is still a lady. Watch your mouth."
"It's fine, Dan." Mina told him with a smile.
"I'll keep the Craig comin'." Chase offered.
"Thanks," Mina said. "but this is enough. I do have to drive home."
"You know, you should find a gentleman who'll drive you home no matter how the date goes." Chase told her.
"That's sweet Chase." Mina said, Chase smiled and went back to tend bar. As he did mina looked down at her drink and muttered to herself. "but I don't think I deserve a gentleman."
"You shouldn't have done it then Mina." Dan said, over hearing her. "When you're gone he may not forgive you."
"I know," Mina spoke softly. "I just couldn't let him die. He's way too young and way too sweet. I've lived, loved, and made mistakes. Chase deserves to have those same chances."
"I can't ever repay you, mina." Dan said. "You know that right?"
"Just serve me Craig till the day i die." She told him. "That's enough for me."
"You Scots." Dan joked. "I'll never understand you."
Dan returned to tend bar so Chase could go do the books before final call in an hour, leaving Mina with her thoughts. Even though she said all those things, she wished she could see Chase live. As she dwelled on this, a new customer entered the bar. The air inside change and Mina's body froze. No one else seemed to notice. She knew the feeling and her eyes became alert. She hadn't been near a Demon since she made her deal, and that was eight years ago. Even though it had been a long time she'd never forget the air about them.
"What can I get you?" Mina heard Dan ask.
"Craig." Came a swift, accented voice. Dan glanced at Mina as he got the customer his drink. Mina's back was too them and he noticed that she was watching through one of the mirrors on the opposite wall. The demon sat there with his drink for a good half hour. Eventually Mina stood and approached Dan.
"I think I'll call it a night Danno." She said, keeping her voice calm as she did her best to ignore the demon who was only a few seats away from her.
"Really?" Dan asked. "You could stay for one more drink. I finally have two Scots in my bar at one time. That never happens."
"Maybe none of the others have the guts to walk into an Irish pub." Chase commented on his way to take out the trash.
"Dan, stop trying to hook me up with someone." Mina told Dan. The demon raised an eyebrow at her words and was now secretly paying attention to the conversation.
"Why not?" Dan demanded.
"Two years left Dan." She reminded him. "I don't see the point."
"Who made your deal?" The demon spoke up suddenly, He was slightly intrigued by the small Scottish woman standing before him.
"How'd you know about her deal?" Dan asked.
"He's a demon, Dan." Mina answered.
