Eddie had no idea if the man was involved in this, or what the woman's goal was in drugging his companion, but the place of protector came to him naturally from his training.

"I'm glad I'm here too," not only was she pretty, but who knows if someone would have been here to keep her safe from mystery woman if he hadn't been. When she offered him her drink, Eddie blinked. He had forgotten to replace his own, and well, given someone had just spiked her last one, he couldn't blame her caution. Maybe his impromptu companion had more to her than met the eye. "I was so concerned about your safety, I forgot to get my own drink." He smiled at her playfully and took a sip from the offered glass. "It would be rude of me to make you drink alone."
