  maliq had been at the bar for an hour or so, watching the people around him and sipping his whiskey slowly. after a few more moments he felt someone sit next to him, glancing at them slyly before finishing his drink and ordering another. “put their drink on my bill, i’m feelin’ good tonight.”

“If you’re looking for a little fun you’ve found the right guy, unless you’re a cop then wrong guy.” Gabe said with a chuckle as he heard someone approaching him and he turned to face them. 

marcy’s head breaks the surface of the water as she comes up for air, hair going behind her. when her eyes open and blink the blurriness away, she’s startled when she sees she’s not alone anymore. “oh sorry, I didn’t think---- nobody ever uses the pool this late.”

the end of her shift always felt like living in a horror movie. drunk zombies groping at her, and tornados of dollar bills. luckily, today she managed to get off early and found herself at the bar, moping over a half empty, lipstick stained glass of rum and coke. feeling around her empty pockets, she suddenly feels a little nervous and looks up at the person next to her. “hey, you wouldn’t happen to seen a little yellow pill bottle around here, huh?” voice laced with a thick southern accent, as she looks around the floor.

 “don’t even bother telling me i can’t smoke in here, i know and i don’t care.” eddison mumbled as he flicked his lighter and lit his cigarette, taking a long pull and blowing it out slowly as he kept his eyes on the person across from him.

“Sorry, I missed that, were you talking to me?” Teddy asked a bit caught off guard as someone came out of the club to where he was smoking in the alley. 

   “`scuse me-” he said, cutting in on the other person to grab at the bottle behind the bar. there was a certain air to him, a confidence.  some knew who he was, and others? well, they’d find out in due time.
