_ After failing the mission at the Waterfront and losing C.T., Washington decided to drown his sorrows in the best way he could think of. Beer. It was C.T.'s birthday, he thought maybe he could have at least one drink in honoring her. Even if the bitch left him for some other guy. Combat Knives and Daggers weren't good enough for her, he could throw Tomahawks too.

_ Knives: "F**k off Asshole!" _ There was a disturbance in the club as a clearly pissed off blonde woman stormed in. _ Knives: "Hey! Give me the strongest bottle of liquor. And keep em coming. The f**k are you looking at?" _ The blonde woman sat beside Washington who also seemed to be in a bad mood. This was going to be some night. _ Washington: "Hey don't be bitchy with me. Its not my fault your boyfriend left you." _ Knives: "Hey f**k you Asshole. I didn't ask for your sympathy. I just came to have a good time." _ Washington: "Yeah, because walking up in here like you run the joint, being hostile towards the other male patrons, and taking the hardest liquor they have doesn't sound like a recipe for mending a broken heart." _ The blonde woman stayed quiet for a minute. Washington had her in the spot, and knew exactly what her problem was. _ Knives: "Okay fine, my boyfriend left me. F**king prick." _ Washington: "Don't beat yourself up to hard I'm in the same jam." _ Knives: "What your boyfriend broke up with you too. I didn't think you were the type." _ Washington: "No. My girlfriend left me. And after everything I did for that ungrateful bitch. High school, College, Enlisting, the Academy, on the field, the ODST's, and did she ever thank me. No, she just jumps into some other guys bed. That slut." _ Knives: "I know the feeling. I was the one who got my boyfriend into the ODST's too, and how does he thank me, by chasing some other piece of ass. Asshole, I mean my tits are okay sized right? Don't answer that! " _ The both took a big swig of their beers. Them ranting about their Ex. lovers was actually helping. They never expected to get more out of it. _ Washington: "You know we should find those two with their new lovers and lock them in a warehouse." _ Knives: "Yeah, and then burn it down with them inside." _ Washington: "I'm starting to like you, my names David." _ Knives: "Just call me Kay. Everyone does."

_ For the few hours, they continued talking to each other about how assholes their Ex.'s were, but soon after they really began to connect. Washington and Kay really learned to like each other. Kay really enjoyed the story he told about South. _ Knives: "You are sick and twisted." _ Washington: "Hey, she jammed my Rifle, I gave her food poisoning for a week." _ After almost two and half hours later Kay was disappointed when Washington had to leave. _ Washington: "Damn it. I better get going or my boss will it my head. Its been fun Kay." _ Knives: "Wait David... maybe sometime we could see each other again... you know, sometime." _ Washington: "That would be great. How about back here on Saturday?" _ Knives: "Its a date."

_ Kay turned away out of embarrassment. "Its a date", talk about desperate. But Washington just chuckled and walked out. They were both surprised by what had happened. They only came here to fi their pain with booze, getting in fights, or maybe getting laid. But instead they found each other, and that was better then the rest.

_ This had been their eighth night meeting up, but it always made Washington nervous. He really liked her. All the loud music and the sound of people drinking, dancing, f**king, and partying was really overwhelming. He finally came to the surprising sight of Kay coming down the stairs wearing a dark maroon blouse, and black skirt. It was all casual, but it gave the impression thats she was trying to look nice. When Kay finally spotted Washington, she ran at him and they hugged. _ Washington: "Hey Kay, I'm glad you made it." _ Knives: "Yeah, I'm just glad I was able to sneak out without being seen wearing this. How do I look?" _ Washington: "You look great really." _ Knives: "Thanks, I don't really get to dress like this ever since... that jackass left me." _ They sat down and spent their time together, talking about their lives, the time in the military, but mostly funny stuff they had pulled on their friends. _ Knives: "You can not be serious. Your sh*ting me." _ Washington: "I sh*t you not. She walks in and see's our boss naked coming out of the showers, and for a week she couldn't keep her eyes off her. Always winking at her and what not." _ Knives: "Man, your really lucky to be in that Special Ops. Everyone I work with are a bunch of assholes." _ Washington: "If you wanna deal with assholes. LockDown Paint, Locker, and tripwire. That should be fun."

_ They were having such a good time they didn't realize that time had passed so quickly. Well when they were together nothing else seemed to matter. Their fun came to an abrupt end when two patrons walked over trying to cause trouble for Washington, while trying to get some action with Kay. _ #1: "Hey baby, why don't you come hang out with us instead of this chingado." _ Knives: "I'm fine thanks. (to Washington)Assholes." _ #2: "Come on babe let us show you what real men could do for you. Or to you." _ That was it. Washington stood up and snapped at the two men. He was only trying to defend Kay, but the men didn't like it. _ Washington: "Hey! Thats my girlfriend your talking to." _ "Girlfriend"? That was a little outgoing. They had only been going out for almost two weeks, but still. Washington noticed what he said to late. _ #1: "hey I don't care who you are, you better get out of my face..." _ Washington: "Or what. Come on I dare." _ The thug backed up for a minute waiting for Washington to have his guard down, and then he swung at his head. Sadly Washington never let his guard down. He caught the hand mid flight and snapped it backwards. As the thug dropped to his knees from the pain, Washington punched him in the face two times and then finally curb stomped his head. The second thug smashed a bottle against the back of Washington's head, which did little affect. He turned around to face his last opponent, but Kay managed to high kick him in throat, making him fall to his knees and then roundhouse kicking him into the bar. _ Knives: "And thats my boyfriend your messing with. You okay." _ Washington: "Trust me I had a lot worse." _ Knives: "Well thats enough excitement lets get out of here." _ Washington: "Lead the way."

_ The later arrived in some cheap hotel room that Kay was renting for the weekend. _ Knives: "So, 'girlfriend' huh." _ Washington: "Oh, uh yeah, um about that..." _ Knives: "Oh just stop talking and come here you."_ Kay put her hands on Washington's face a kissed him on the lips. It first came as a surprise to Washington but he quickly embraced her tighter and their kiss became more passionate. When Kay finally pulled back she held on to Washington's face. Her look had changed. She never meant for this to happen. She never meant to fall in love again. Neither of them did. But it just happened. Knives: "I love you David." Washington: "I love you Kay." That was something Kay's old Ex. had never told her. She fell for Washington's words and pressed her lips against his. They began to kiss more passionately. She took off her shirt and then pulled Washington into the bed with her. They slept together that night.
