Gertrude squints her eyes as she watches the mystery woman slink off. She is making the Judge so uncomfortable, that she does something truly inconceivable.
She abandons her drink.
"Feh. Agreed. Already wrecked one home, not demolishin' the other." She leaves a bill under her glass before sliding off her stool and heads straight for the exit. She tries not to look at Sharon.

Sharon needs a chance to get to talk to Gertrude more, and she knows that Guzzle is not a talkative sort. More than that, she needs Gertrude to listen and not dismiss Sharon as crazy. Sharon supposes that she could just have Gertrude kidnapped and keep her locked up on the Event Horizon until she remembers being Guzzle, but that might lead to the destruction of several city blocks.
So, instead, Sharon write something down on a napkin, folds the napkin, stands, and walks briskly over and tries to hand Gertrude the napkin. It is simply a a date, a time, and a location.

Dan's face twists into a frown as Gertrude gets up. He didn't mean she had to leave! He just didn't want her shooting up the place. He clears his sinuses and takes another swig of his beer, swiveling on his barstool to watch Sharon handing off the napkin to Gertrude He really shouldn't get involved, but . . .
He picks up his duffel and his beer, moseying over to wait by the pool tables, close enough to the two women that he might be able to overhear them.

Good luck with getting her to listen, Sharon. Locking her up probably would not help either! She'd just try to escape, think Sharon is even more crazy, and try to viciously murder her!
Gertrude glares daggers at Sharon as she presses something into her hand. For a moment, she wants to do something rude like punch grandma, or blow her nose with it. But she doesn't. Instead she looks down, looking like she's trying to will herself into developing heat vision so she can burn a hole through it, but then puts it away while focusing her glare on Sharon again. "Don't think I'll come unprepared. You try anythin', you and every one of your friends that you'll bring..."

"I expect that I will be quite busy. You won't need to worry about me, though you might want to worry about what has me worried," Sharon replies, "Have a nice day."
That said, she moves off to pay her chit at the bar.
Well, that's a terribly cryptic thing for Dan to overhear.

One corner of Dan's mouth curls up in a snarl as the two women exchange what could be some sort of code phrases, possibly? It's a little hard to hear over the bar noise. Someone approaches him to ask if he's in line for the pool tables. He just turns to look at them, scars and all, and they beat a hasty retreat.
His eyes follow Sharon as she returns to the bar. He doesn't normally go looking for trouble, he tells himself. It always just seems to find him. But what the hell, he'll tail her when she leaves.

Oh great, a clever one. If there's one thing that Gertrude hates, then it's cryptic bullshit that uses a lot of words but doesn't actually manage to say anything. Especially when it doesn't even seem related to what Gertrude said! She should shoot the woman right now, but no, there's a crowd and crowds don't like being spooked by loud bangs and dull thuds.
Whatever. She'll head to that rendezvous later, and bring the biggest guns she can carry. Best way to deal with a trap is just walk right into one and keep firing until it breaks. For now, she moves back to the counter, but sits down several stools away from Sharon and Dan. She's going to keep an eye on this woman.

Sharon is heading out of the bar now. She's accomplished more than she meant to accomplish. All she meant to do was figure out where Bane Crusher might be, because seriously, he has to be a Decepticon. Finding Guzzle was unexpected but not unwelcome.

Stealth is not Dan's forte. He remembers his training from his military days, but he was never special ops. He knows how to hide behind things. He's also seven feet tall. So he's just sort of following Sharon down the street. He's not entirely sure why. Mostly he's just bored, slightly drunk, and hoping someone tries to mug her so he can kick the snot out of them.

If someone tries to mug Sharon, that someone will be in a world of trouble. The sound of her voice is her weapon of choice.
After a block or so, if Dan is still there, she turns around, gives Dan a bright smile, and asks, "Are you lost?"
This is not how short women usually act around scarred, huge men who are following them.

Dan stops abruptly when he turns a corner and Sharon is there smiling at him. Well, that ended more quickly than he expected. He'd say something about how this is a bad neighborhood and she really shouldn't be walking around alone at night, but that sounds more like he's threatening her, which he isn't.
"No, I'm not lost," he says, frowning. 'We just happened to be going the same way,' or 'I wasn't following you,' or other lame excuses go unspoken. Conversation isn't really his area of expertise.

"Oh. You looked like one of those Jurassic Park velociraptors trying to decide if the fence is electrified or not," Sharon says cheerily.
This is not the world's best analogy and it mostly just makes her sound crazy, but Dan sounds like Dinobot. If he actually is Dinobot and remembers being Dinobot, maybe the velociraptor reference will get a reaction.
If he isn't Dinobot, who cares?

Dan's eyes narrow. "That's an odd turn of phrase," he remarks. He just looks silently and awkwardly at Sharon for a moment before attempting to shoulder past her. Maybe he'll just call it an early night.

Sharon allows him to go off on his own way. She needs to go walk back to her car, which is parked in a safe location, freshen up her look, and go home.
OOC: Wrap?
