Every year, each of us celebrating a birthday, it's a happy Day, not to mention that fact we are getting older. Jules has birthday today, but she decided to spend them quietly at her home after hard work. Naïve, with friends like she had, is not possible. She knew this, she felt that her plan will not come true, so she patiently waited for this "childish" colleagues come. She went to her dressing room, changed into her civilian clothes, hung up her uniform to the cabinet. She imposed on her jacket and walked out of the locker room. Sam stood before her with Spike, who kept the champagne. For the third year in a row, they making her the surprise, but this time something was different. Scarlatti didn't look weird, swaying slightly, propped up against the wall. He had a blush on his face, she realized why when she looked at the ground. Behind Spike lay empty bottle of vodka. She smiled to herself , her friend was drunk. But wait! Is it possible that he was so irresponsible and drank a whole bottle of vodka alone in the building where he works? It couldn't be true. For the answer she haven't wait to long as Greg appeared in the corridor, or rather appear and disappear. She heard singing Ed. Both men, trying to keep the rest of dignity, supported each other and went to the end of the corridor and stooped close to Winnie station. A woman covered her face, trying to hide her laughter.
-Winnie… something funny to you? – Greg leaned over the desk. From his bag which he held awkwardly, fell another empty bottle of vodka. Sam, Julse and Spike looked at the drunken boss. Scarlatti greatly saddened, stretched out his arms and leaned over an empty bottle.
-Ohhh, Boss! Carefully!
-Spike! It's empty! – Said Jules, putting a hand on his shoulder – Come on, I put you a drink.
-What occasion? Why you want put a drink for us? – Greg asked, clinging to the counter. Ed rested his head on his friend's shoulder, also expressing interest in this proposal.
-I have birthday today, and I thought that will be nice if we go for a drink as we have always done!
Greg sat up immediately , accidentally nudging Ed, who fell to the ground. Winnie ran behind the desk and helped him get up to is feet. – Ed, are you okay?
-Nothing. Dude, watch out!
-Sorry buddy! – Greg wanted to give apology but didn't hit Lane's hand. No longer thinking of his defeat , he turned to Jules – Do you have a birthday? Sorry, I forgot. Everything ….. that stupid promotion….
-Promotion? – Jules didn't hide his surprise. Promotion? What kind of promotion, he says.
-Ed is now a sergeant. We decided to celebrate it somehow, we had to do it after work, but…
-It didn't work! – said Spike who sat on the ground, considering that will be the best option considering how much his legs wanted to do different things as long as it doesn't stand straight.
-Congratulations Ed – Jules approached to Lane and hugged him. New sergeant did the same.
-Thank you. I feel really stupid that we forgot about your birthday this year.
-it's all right. Don't worry.
-No, no, no! – Far away they could hear the voice of Wordy. Who just came to the base of SRU. Each member of the team looked in amazement at his colleague. They don't expect him here, especially since he left them. – I'm home! But only for your birthday Jules. I booked a table at a restaurant, but seeing how happy you are, a better idea would be to go to the bar and have good time.
-Wordy. God, I'm glad you came, and that you remember. – Jules hugged Wordy. – How are you?
-All right. It's like holidays. So are we going?
Greg, Ed and Spike shouted "yes" and walked toward the exit. Wordy and Sam shook hands each other, then Bradock turned to Winnie. – Are you going?
-I am on duty.
-No you don't. I got it before. John will replace you. Dress up!
Winnie didn't wait any longer, ran to the locker room to change her clothes.
Downstairs three drunk men sitting in the back car's seat. At passenger seat sat Jules. View drunken friends sitting in the back, gave her so much joy that she has ceased to think of her lonely, quiet birthday spent at home. With them it was impossible to get bored. Her thoughts were interrupted by Sam who boarding a car.
-Can we go? – asked Ed.
-We look forward to Winnie.
-But we have no place here! Maybe I will lead a second car? – added Greg.
-Good Idea! I'm going with you – Ed said. They both looked at Jules, who looked at them raw look. Greg came up to Ed, telling him on the ear. – You know what? I think it's a stupid idea.
Ed and Greg looked at each other, then laughed so loud. Jules made a face palm. Seeing the embarrassment of his girlfriend Sam grabbed her left hand. – Take it easy, they are drunk. Wordy take the other car and Winnie.
Suddenly the driver's door is opened. Leah stood there, looking curiously at Sam. The man turned toward her, smiling. – Hi Leah.
-Where are you going?
-We are going to celebrate birthday of Jules and Ed's weird promotion to sergeant.
-Congratulations. And you, my dear – Leah turned to Jules – Happy birthday.
-Thank You.
This nice moment interrupted by crazy Spike laughter, who probably heard one of those drunken jokes, which a sober person doesn't understand. Leah looked at three men with the acquisition. Seeing this, Jules responded. – Don't ask. Get in the second car, Wordy is back. Just wait for Winnie and will meet you at the bar.
-Wordy back? – asked Greg.
-Yes – added Sam. – Leah you will have the opportunity to talk with him. You too Greg!
-Great! – replied Parker.
-Well, I'm going. – Leah closed the door. Sam started the engine and dove off.
There was no turning back, they gone. They went to do it. They went to get drunk at best. Jules circled in her head a lot of questions, but one couldn't give her peace. Is it a good idea to take drunk friends to a bar to het them drunk even more? What the hell, it's my birthday!
