Author's Note: I feel Logan/Barek inspired, lol. I think I've been spending way too much time scouring the web for good Logan/Barek stuff and have come up empty. It's kinda a shame this pair never got a chance to take off. Anywho, enjoy the chapter!

"Yeah, I know her, Mikey. Her older sister used to waitress here," Dan, the owner of Murphy's slid the photo of Molly Gregory back to Mike, "You got that bastard of an ex-boyfriend's parole revoked, remember?"

"What was her name?" Mike tucked the photo back into his jacket pocket.

"Jill, yeah, Jill. She moved back to Ohio a little whiles after you helped her."

"Has Molly been in lately?" Barek asked, leaning on the bar.

Dan thought about it for a minute then nodded his head, "Couple of days ago, asked for you card. Said she remembered you helped out her sister, and thought maybe you could help her out too."

Mike frowned, Molly hadn't called him after getting his card and apparently she'd had it in her possession for awhile. What had stopped her? Better yet, who had stopped her?

"She say why she needed Detective Logan's help?"

"Not to me, but she started talking with some woman about ya," Dan grinned, "I don't know how you do it, Mikey."

"Irish charm," Mike answered distractedly, "Any guys approach her?"

"Naw, just talked with this other woman for awhile then took off."

"You know this other woman's name?"

"She comes in every now and then, but I've never caught her name."

"Hey, she comes in again, you give me a call, okay?"

"Sure thing Mikey, long as you bring this beauty back with you." Dan winked at Barek who rolled her eyes. Together they walked out of the bar and headed back to 1PP.

"How long have you been helping out down on their luck waitresses?" Barek asked after a few minutes of driving in silence.

"Needed something to do so Staten Island wouldn't drive me nuts," Mike said with a careless shrug.

"It's a nice thing to do Mike." Mike shrugged carelessly, but the compliment was going to get him through the rest of the day.
