Elsey walks into the local bar, The Tricky Mister, and asks her old buddy Cyrus to pour her a drink.
"Something girly," she asks him. "Something the boys will laugh at."
She smiles and looks around the room. She thinks about who else might walk into the room tonight. She turns back to her girly drink and waits for Sir James to arrive, as he undoubtedly will at some point.
Just then, the front door opens and in walks....

What Mak did i not mention the security cameras i have around here? Oops that must have slipped my mind. But don't worry you will not be the only one slghtly embarased by my revelations :). Even sady shakes at the prospect of what I know. Hmmm maybe that is why he is always here, did you not know i get a cut of the action when you pay him off? It is not enough though so i may have to start blackmailing him as well, after all there is a replacement running around out here.

Elsey smiles at the ruckus going on in the bar as Cyrus tries to collect on tabs that may never get paid. She smiles in the knowledge that she always pays and tips well for her drinks. She's been a bartender, so she knows all about getting stiffed and going without tips.

*It's interesting being back in a place you've been away from for a while* Elsey thinks to herself. *I'm glad to know that Jojo has missed me, because I have missed Jojo. I do wonder what goes on when I'm not here, but sadly I lack the time these days. Oh to go back to carefree days.*

Elsey sighs, finishes her drink, and returns to the real world.

The tall dark handsome man (known around town as Texan), was standing in the shadows watching the excitement and noticed Makenksie kept looking his way. Feeling she was about to pass out, he quickly walks to her table and asks if he can be of any help by calling a taxi for her. Makensie trying to focus her eyes at the tall dark handsome stranger, that she had been watching, smiles as she replies, "sure, why not?". Texan says, "I think you've had about one too many, so just wait here and I'll go make that call for you madam. With that he disappears down the hall and into the night to meet up with his sweetie DaRu.

*jojo catches a quick glimpse of elsey*

*Makensie has to break his fall - he has fainted*

looking out over the scene of jojo fainted and Mak passed out while Texan goes out the door Cyrus wonders whether he chose the wrong business. Then he looks over at Elsey and remembers that not all of the clientel pass out or faint, and knows he is in the right business.

"Elsey", he says " you should know that your money is no good here, you are an old timer, kept the place in business in the early days and helped to keep the rif raf out of the place." Now we have two shady's running around and everyone is confused. After reading some of the posts in the lounge last week i had to down a bottle to see if they made more sense then. That can eat into the profits because I no longer drink rot gut, seen what it does to people, only the good stuff for Cyrus.
* Pours Elsey a drink from the private reserve, as they toast he pours one for jojo and Mak when they wake up as well*:)

As she approaches the bar for a glass of - *glances at her watch* - milk - to calm her nerves after yet another chilling case, she sees Elsey's silhouette disappearing among the rustling crowd of people on their way to work. A smile breaks across her face, but soon the tears of joy start to mix with tears of disappointment. Oh, if only she had been able to come sooner or had slept on a stool at the bar, she wouldn't have missed her.

"Elsey WAAAITT!!", she screams as she starts rushing after her, desperately trying to make her way through the crowded streets of New York.

Makensie 'wakes up' and is on the floor, leaned up against the wall, and is in a slight fog. She remembers meeting that tall, dark mysterious man she kept noticing all night, he was very polite and a gentleman and quite handsome, once he got close enough for her to get a really good look. She also remembers Jojo about knocking her over when he saw Elsey...good thing Makensie caught his fall,even if it did about lay me out. Not that it took much....dang whiskey.

Makensie staggers up and Cyrus has poured me another drink. *slowly making her way to the bar* Makensie mumbles "I really need this from all this chaos" She starts drinking her drink and notices everyone around her. Greyling running out the door, after Elsey...Jojo....*looking around* where is Jojo?....and where is Ms C? Man, what a mess!

As she drinks her beer, a man comes up and says "Ma'm, are you Makensie Brewer?" Mak looks at him, and cautiously says "yeah?" He says "A cab is waiting for you" Makensie sits and wonders how a cab knew to come get her. Then she remembers, the gentleman named Texan said he was going to call her a cab before he left to go see his sweetie,Daru. Makensie says "Thank you, I will be right there" Makensie looks at Cyrus, and tips him and pays off her debt for the night. Makensie says "There, here is your money and a tip....now you have nothing to complain about with me" Cyrus gave a cocky grin and Makensie staggers out to find her cab.

jstkdn pays her tab with Cyrus.

thanks jstkdn for paying her tab, now i can stay in business another week, not that she is a lush but has not been in in a while and i let her charge too much :). After seeing Mak into her cab Cyrus goes back in and locks the door behind him, thinking he is alone in the bar.

* Cyrus, while wiping down the bar, hears something in the bar*

"must be those rats again" he mutters and goes about his cleaning. A few minutes later he catches a small glimpse of a shadow behind him... but it is too late!!
