Goodnight

[quinientos]

If there's one thing that Vasquez had done quickly in Darrow, it had been to find a good bar with a decent bartender. He has one now, with two of the bartenders that he's fucked at some point, but has kept up a good relationship with. It's become his favorite place to be, but he also thinks it's good because it's quieter than some of the clubs.

Not only that, but he knows Billy and Goodnight will drink here, so every once in a while, he also gets to see his friends. It's strange for him, because he's grown to appreciate them so much more than he ever thought he would, but then, he also thought they were dead.

Tonight, he raises a glass when he sees Goodnight at the door, ordering his usual when the bartender comes back around, so that when Goodnight joins him at the booth in the back (the one where the seats face the door), there's something waiting for him. "Billy working?"

Goodnight gave a polite nod when Vasquez raised his glass and he joined him in his booth. "He's got a shift tonight, yeah." Before the bartender left, he added, "I'll have a double, please, when you have a moment."

He was here often enough that most of the bartenders knew his drink. He was a simple man in that sense: he liked the same thing almost every time, and he liked it plentiful. He couldn't believe he'd come here actually looking for Vasquez. But he was familiar, and he was not as obnoxious as he'd seemed in Rose Creek. Perhaps because Darrow gave them more distance and less intense purpose.

"He might show up to peel me off the floor before the end of the night, but I don't expect him til late."
