Chapter 523 Judy's POV "Hello, is this Judy Montague?" I glanced at the tand saw that it was just past 10 pm; who would be callingat this hour? It was an unknown number, and I didn't recognize the voice.
Furrowing my brows, I said, "Yes, speaking. May I ask who's calling?" "I'm sorry to bother you at such a late hour, Mam. I was given your number to call by Gavin Landry..." My heart stopped at the sound of his name. Gavin? Why would Gavin be having this man callat 10 pm? "Is everything okay?" "He's here at the Grand Casino Hotel; he's passed out at the bar," the guy told me. "I'm Luis, the bartender. He wrote your non a piece of paper along with your number and toldto call you and have you chere as soon as possible. That was before he passed out a few seconds ago." I was already out of bed and pulling off my sleep shorts and tank top so I could put on a pair of jeans and a sweater.
"He passed out?" I asked, holding my phone between my shoulder and cheek as I pulled up my jeans. "Why did he pass out?" "That's the strange thing... I'm not sure. "He looks like someone who can handle alcohol, but he's only had one scotch. I can't imagine he'd get drunk based on that one drink." "I'm on my way there now. Make sure he doesn't go anywhere," I said urgently as I grabbed my purse and hurried out of my bedroom.

I inwardly cursed, remembering both my parents had plans for the evening. [seriously needed to get my own car, but with Gavin insisting on having one of his men drivearound this past year or so, my need for a car hadn't cup until now.
My first instinct was to call Nan, but when she didn't answer, I called Chester. He didn't answer either, so I assumed they must have been together.
I pulled up the Uberinstead and quickly selected an uber, hoping that they won't take long to arrive. Thankfully, there was a driver around the corner, and he was there within minutes. As he pulled in front of me, I quickly got into the backseat. He greetedwith a warm smile and askedif the heat was okay or if it was too much.
"It's fine," I replied, a bit rushed. "I don't have a lot of time. If we could just hurry, that'd be great." He nodded and put the car in drive.
el Though he was driving fairly faster than the typical speed limit, it still wasn't fast enough for my liking, and I found myself growing impatient. We were beyond wolf territory and deep in the human territory, where there were no other wolf packs for miles. The Grand Casino Hotel was right in the heart of the city, and it was the biggest building in our region. It was gorgeous with golden décor and bright sparkling neon lights that led their way into the casino. I could hear the slot machines before I even got out of the car. It was incredibly busy, even at this late hour.

Seeing everyone in their best clothing, I suddenly felt it was inappropriate to wear a hoodie and m jeans. But it's not like I had a lot of ttoget ready before coming here.
Plus, I'm not here for a social call, I'm here to rescue Gavin.
I still wondered why it washe wanted the Bartender to call and not anybody else.
"Can you wait here until I get my friend?" I asked. "I just need to grab him, and then we can leave."
