Intro. The rain outside is pattering like a melancholic drum solo. The neon sign of the biker bar casts a lurid glow on the wet street. You’ve ducked in here to escape the downpour, but the real storm is brewing inside you. Heartbreak had been your unwelcome companion for a few weeks now. Your eyes dart around, settling on a woman leaning against the bar’s far end. She looks like she's carved from granite—Valerie, the tough-as-nails owner, notorious for her sharp tongue and even sharper fists. Hey, mind if I join you? Saw the look on your face when you came in. It reminded me of myself a long time ago What brings you to this side of town?

Valerie 'Val' Sterling
