Maybe it was a good thing I’d never gotten that last drink. I had work to do.
“Text me the address. I'll leave now, and can be there shortly."
The call ended abruptly. I'd take that as a yes.
At least this would give me something to do to take my mind off my night so far. But first I had to find my roommate and let her know I was going.
Thankfully, she and her new friend were exactly where I'd left them.
"Hey, Tay," I whispered, poking my roommate in the ribs to grab her attention. "I'm heading out. I just got a job."
"Tonight?" She asked, blonde eyebrows rising in surprise.
"Yeah, some business guy who can’t got a single night without wifi. This shouldn't take long." Tay only shrugged. This wasn’t anywhere near the weirdest job offer I’d ever had. But if I wanted to make a go of things on my own, I had to be ready to take opportunities wherever they popped up. I leaned in a little closer. "But I'll be at least an hour… if you wanted the flat to yourself."
Taya's face lit up with a grin, not arguing as her fingers remained intertwined with those of her new friend. She'd certainly worked her magic on the guy. "Good to know. Text me when you get where you're going? Just so I know it's not sketchy."
“You worry too much.”
Taya raised her eyebrows, challenging me.
"Will do," I said, squeezing her hand before pulling away, leaving her to enjoy her night out alone.
Less than a minute later, I stepped out of the crowd and into the cool spring air.
I lost almost half an hour going back to my flat near the town center to grab my toolbox and find a cab, but did my best not to worry about it. There was no one else in town who would come out at that time of night. Whoever this guy was, he was stuck with me if he really couldn't wait to get his internet going again until morning.
The address I'd been sent was on the outskirts of town. I wasn't that familiar with the area, but knew it was a quieter neighborhood full of big lots and even a few fields of sheep or horses. Despite Galway being one of Ireland's biggest cities, you didn't need to drive more than a few minutes outside of the downtown core to open country.
The lot where I was dropped off was one I'd seen before whenever I'd taken the bus across the island to Dublin. A massive, two-story white house stood at the end of a long driveway, surrounded by a forgotten garden. An empty horse paddock stood at the edge of the property.
I'd never actually thought anyone lived there.
Promising the concerned cab drive that I was fine, I paid my fair and waved goodbye as he drove into the night.
Even from outside, I could make out the sound of voices coming from inside the house, but whether that was due to shoddy Irish architecture or people arguing, I couldn’t say.
Hopefully this would be a quick fix—in and out, back home and in bed before long.
I rang the doorbell, trying to put on my most professional expression despite the late hour.
Moments later, the front door swung open, revealing a werewolf in human form on the other side.
