Disclaimer: This is all rights to CBS.
Continuation from Previous chapter.
Jane then heads off to Eddies and sits at the barstool and orders a seven-up since he has to have a clear mind while dealing with Brandi. Jane now simply waits. Meantime at the Aegean, Nick gives Brandi a hard time asking what was the conversation between the guy who just left and her. Brandi knowing Nick's jealous nature simply says he was just asking for directions. Nick does not believe this and Brandi keeps insisting this so finally Nick just relents and says to Brandi "I honestly don't want you talking to that guy because he is a very strange person". Brandi then questions her own next moves and questions Nick as to what is it about him that is strange. "I just said so". Says Nick. "Don't you ever notice that he is always wearing same clothes and his shoes are worn out?" Brandi does not think this is a big deal but then fibs and tells Nick that she won't talk to him anymore which is a lie since she is nosy about what Jane has to say to here. She also realizes that since she is meeting him in a public place, it has to be safe. Nothing about Jane looked dangerous though. Nick then says "I will be over at your place about midnight". Now Brandi does not feel like dealing with Nick anymore tonight so she simply says that she is just too tired and just wants to go straight to bed. Nick then says "Alright sweetheart".
Thirty minutes have now gone by and Jane starts to wonder if Brandi will show up. He thinks maybe now Nick has something to do with Brandi not showing up since he is aware that she will listen to him. Just as that thought occurs, Brandi enters the bar wearing a mink coat. Right away, Jane tells the bartender to give Brandi whatever she wants. Brandi says "I will have a Bacardi and coke". When Brandi's drink come, Jane then tells her he wants them to go a booth so they can sit and relax.
Brandi then takes off her coat. Jane then asks her "I didn't know you made that much in tips". Brandi then tells him that her boyfriend it for her. Jane asks "Is he that wealthy"? Brandi then tells him that her boyfriend is not doing too badly. Jane then asks "What if he was to walk in here and see you talking to me, would he get upset"? Brandi answers him by saying that her boyfriend does live around there so he would never go in there. Brandi now lies and tells Jane that her boyfriend is not really a jealous type and she does not want to play on him. She now finishes her drink in less than three minutes while lighting a cigarette and Jane orders another one for her thinking "This is going to be much easier than I thought, just keep her drinking". Jane then gets another seven-up for him since he knows he needs a clear mind and then leaves a five dollar tip for the bartender. She smiles and thanks him and Jane smiles right back.
Brandi finishes this drink again fast while talking about her day and her "dumb" bosses. She just goes on and on about this while Jane keeps the drinks coming to her. Meantime he is just listening to her and smiles very sweetly and knows this will be very easy. Now the Red John thing can finally come to an end.
