"I didn't either," she said indignantly, starting to feel like a bickering five-year-old. Who was up past her bedtime. She rested her head on her arms and watched the crowd for a while Risk went on drinking.

Risk shot her a look before grabbing his beer. He would've asked another question, but the last thing he wanted was another witty comment from the peanut gallery. Instead, he simply watched the dancers on the stage.

"Half of them meet with guys in the alleys out back after the shows," Wraith informed him, following his gaze. Her fingers latched onto the edge of the counter to avoid reaching for her beer again.

"What're you implyin'?" muttered Risk, raising an eyebrow at her.

"Oh, you know, you could arrest them or something." She finished her beer and shot him a nervous look, trying to remember exactly why she was drinking with him. Liquor always made her simultaneously drowsy and paranoid. Not a fun combination.

"Wraith!" said Risk, his eyes wide. "There's a reason I'm undercover right now. I'm not goin' to flash my badge around Irving Hall!"

"It was a joke," she said with a smirk, turning the glass in her hands. "We both know these girls'll never get arrested. Not for that, anyway."

Risk shrugged. "They're not worth arresting either."

"Mmm, that must be it. But skinny-dippers in Central Park are a threat to society." There were so many things she wanted to say to him--well, to any cop, he just happened to be the only one she knew personally--but they were things she couldn't say because they were angry and bitter and, oh, super incriminating, and hey, maybe that was why she shouldn't get drunk with cops! Suddenly, all she wanted in the world was for Tristan to walk in and carry her home.

"People are just jealous," smirked Risk, grinning at her. "That's why."

"How...legally responsible," she muttered. She should really get out of here. But when she stood up, she swayed and had to catch the edge of the bar to steady herself. "Wonderful," she sighed.

"Whoa, you okay?" asked Risk, gently reaching for her elbow to steady her. "Maybe you should just stay here a bit before you go anywhere..."

"If I stay here, I'll order another drink," Wraith explained kind of frantically, slurring a little as she collapsed onto the stool again. Hello, my name is Clara, and I'm a lightweight alcoholic.

"Well, I'll make sure you won't," replied Risk, waving over the bartender as he ordered a glass of water. "It's not so bad that you have to talk to me, is it?"

She rested her head in her hands. "You and me...I feel like we're gonna have a conversation one day that we shouldn't have when I'm drunk."
