Kevin waved his head down away from him. "Yeah...everyone knew Alana's time was up, even Alana did. But you know I'll miss her the most in the next few days coming," he answered. He suddenly leaned away looking at him in shock. "Damn!" he bellowed excitedly. "You work fast!" he said happily. "So when do you want me to pick them up?" he asked as Phyllis started filling up a small bucket of ice.ย
Lorelai sighed the place was packed and people kept coming and going. She was on her way back to the bar with a few empty glasses on her tray when she felt someone pull a bit on her blouse. Lorelai stopped and turned a bit surprised by the rude gesture to get her attention but not too surprised considering the place was full of drunk people. Though this patron wasn't drunk... norย livingย as she realized her mistake too late.ย
"I wanna Jack and Coke, honey," he breathed out a low throaty whisper. The man was Caucasian, wearing some early Edwardian outfit, hat covering his eyes, and he was smoking a fat cigar.ย
โI'm busy...and it looks like you've had enough,โ she replied simply as she was about to turn around and ignore the guy when he slammed his hand on the table and it actually shook. Her eyes widened.
"I know you can see me!" he let out as Lorelai slowly turned to face him once more when suddenly another ghost came over. It was the janitor she saw earlier in the day.ย
"Is this man botherin' you?" he asked. Another Caucasian, he was holding his broom still, and he was an older fellow by the looks of it.ย
โNo, it's fine,โ she answered before turning and taking a couple of steps before stopping. She suddenly turned once more. โYou know what....sure why not,โ she decided curiosity getting the best of her.ย
"You got it, missy," the janitor responded with a curt nod. "You heard the lady, you get up and get out!" he responded.ย
"Fuck off!" he replied taking a long drag from his cigar and suddenly the janitor's face contorted as he dropped his broom and grabbed the guy's clothes by his collar.ย
"She said get the fuck out! Maurice!" the janitor bellowed and before she knew it they were at it. Lorelai turned around wide-eyed. She swallowed as she slowly walked back to the bar. She made it to the back trying to ignore the situation as she calmly dropped off the empty glasses. She took a deep breath before slowly walking back out. She hugged her tray as the ghosts were brawling through the bar slowly heading towards the exit.ย
Some tables slightly shook but most patrons didn't notice. Maurice pushed the janitor onto a table before attacking once more. The table merely shook as they rolled off towards a person sitting nearby the guy felt nothing as he blindly reached for their beer but the janitor accidentally swiped the beer as he tried to hold on to something and not fall to the floor. The man's beer swept off the table with a clash. Lorelai closed her eyes. โUhhh...shit,โ she breathed out as Phyllis heard it.
"Damn it!" she let out. "Someone call Pat from the back to clean up the mess," she uttered to Gloria who nodded. She looked around and noticed Lorelai who was staring off into space. "Lorelai you need to get back out there!" she noted as she pointed to the mess. Lorelai glanced over and nodded.ย
She made her way to the patron whose bill was spilled. โHey looks like you had an accident,โ she greeted, smiling.
"Yeah... I don't know what happened. It was like my beer flew off the table!" he said shocked. Lorelai smiled brightly tilting her head.ย
โOh, you know, old places,โ she replied. โWould you like another? What did you have?โ ย
"Eh... I guess..." he said bringing out his wallet. "I had a Coors," he responded. Lorelai nodded.ย
โGot it and someone will be right over to clean up the mess,โ she replied. She headed to the bar as a guy with a mop and dustpan came over instead. โThe guy said he wants a Coors,โ she said towards Phyllis a bit lowly. โUh... he said the beer just flew from the table,โ she added looking anywhere but at her. Phyllis nodded.
"Yeah my ass," Phyllis said but started bringing out a newly opened bottle. "Make sure to pick up the change," she said. Lorelai nodded and headed out to exchange goods. The guy paid Lorelai for his new beer as she dropped it off. She was heading out to a nearby table taking orders, ignoring the two ghosts who were still brawling, hoping they would just end soon. She took note of their orders and started heading back when suddenly she felt a strong pull of energy. She paused shocked.ย
The window towards her left shattered. Lorelai noticed the two ghosts were now outside on the sidewalks still going at it as people in the area panicked with confusion. Confused to why a window just shattered out of nowhere. Lorelai ran towards the exit and ran out shocked as they continued to fight. โWhat are you guys doing!?โ she whispered with gritted teeth. They soon started to tire. The man named Maurice pushed the Janitor off of him with one last blow as he began to dust himself off.ย
"I get it! I get it...get off of me!" he said angrily.ย
"Now you stay the fuck out you bastard!" the Janitor said getting to his feet and pointing at him, winded. The ghost named Maurice wobbled backing away to the street.ย
"It ain't matter what you think... I'm always commin' back... I'm always-" Suddenly a car honked, its headlights lighting him up briefly before passing through him. The ghost named Maurice's visage had changed. He now looked half-bloodied, his clothes slightly torn, his arm and neck dislocated. The janitor started laughing, holding his belly, as if it was the most hilarious thing in the world. Maurice finally faded and the Janitor too, their energy spent for the most part as Lorelai sighed in confusion. The world of the living suddenly rushing to her as the sounds of curious people reached her ears.ย
