When Ezra came into the bar, that night, he saw Chris playing pool with Buck while JD stood with them. Not ready for anymore bad jokes and women. Instead he was drawn to the sound of thumping. Nathan nodded towards him as the female bartender gave him a beer.

"Care for a game?" asked the slender man playing darts.

"I can't promise you a good game." Ezra smiled.

"You think you can beat me?" the man chuckled.

Ezra took a dart that was on the table and saluted the man with it before throwing it to hit the bull's eye. "I believe that right there speaks for my capability."

"Okay then. Let's give it a shot."

The game lasted several rounds. Vin winning first and then Ezra. The last game ended in a time.

"You ain't as bad as I thought you would be." The man grinned.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

The man held out his hand, "Name's Vin."

"Ezra."

"I Know, I saw you talking to Buck, Vin and Chris."

"You know them?"

"Yeah. Talked to them a couple of times. Chris seems better after talking to you." Vin looked over at the blond.

"Appears that way."

Vin nodded and then sat down on the table near his darts. "So why are you here?"

Ezra frowned, not sure what he meant, "Last time I checked this was a public bar."

"It is, it's just that out of all the bars you chose in this town you chose this one. You talk to us out of nowhere like we're friends. Shouldn't you be worried about what we might do to you?"

"I didn't know my life was in danger."

"Chris, he's a widower. Lost his wife and son. Buck is a friend of Chris's, hanging around to make sure he is doing alright. JD, hell, I don't know the kid may have some sort of crush on one of the two, I don't know."

"And you?"

"Me, I have people who want to kill me." Vin smiled.

"Really?" Ezra rose an eyebrow.

Vin shrugged, "This is the only place I can find peace. Where no one will find me, other than you it seems."

Ezra just shook his head, "Why don't I don't buy you a drink?"

"I'd never say 'no' to that." Vin grinned and they walked to the bar. Vin signaled to Nathan and the man got him a beer.

The female bartender eyed him curiously and Ezra frowned.

"Is there a reason why that woman looks at us so?"

"She ain't looking at me that way. Must be you." Vin murmured.

"I doubt Buck would appreciate that that much."

That made both men laugh.

Ezra's phone went off and he saw that it was his mother calling. He groaned, "Sorry, I should probably take this." He decided that it was as good as any time to call it a night. Talking to his mother would probably take an hour.
