The man didn't seem to be in a hurry to answer Connor's question. Jensen had time to get a water and come to the table, sitting next to Connor. Both of them were across from Hood but could also see the bar.
Connor observed the other patrons while Jensen introduced them. He seemed calmed and reserved and for a moment, Connor felt for him. Jensen was a good man and he took what happened this night personally. He felt responsible for it. But there really didn't seem to have been a way to have gotten those kids saved without the violence. Guys with guns always set the mood. And the mood was already horrible.
Connor shook his head to clear it. It was done. He hoped Jensen felt better. Looking at the man again, he saw that he was staring at a red head at the booth behind them. Connor smiled tightly to himself. Maybe that's what Jensen needed. Blow off some steam. You go for it man, he thought. The woman turned her head and seemed to catch Jensen's eye and wink.
Connor choked on the drink he'd just sipped, sputtering. He leaned in to whisper to Jensen. "I think that's a dude."
He looked at Jensen who appeared to be whispering something inaudible under his breath. The action gave Connor pause. Suddenly he remembered how unimpressed Jensen seemed to be when Aria had come out of the bathroom that night in just a shirt and panties. Both Connor and Giovanni had noticed her with appreciation. Well, it didn't matter, really. It was just something he'd not expected.
