Thanks a bunch and let me know if there is anything I can do to improve my writing. CHAPTER 1 Katie Hansen walked up to '78th Bar ' her first day as the assistant bartender. She nervously opened the door and was greeted by a smiling Angela Boscorelli. "Hello Katie, your early, I was getting things stocked up." She said, as her head was poking up from behind the bar counter. Katie smiled shyly at the elder woman, "You can go ahead and put your stuff in the back room, then if you could give me a hand with the bottles of Absolute." Angela trailed off motioning to the stack of boxes behind the counter. "Oh sure thing!" Katie replied, eager to begin her day.

Katie walked to the back room and was surprised to see a young man at the computer in the tiny office space. "Oh my god I am so sorry. she didn't say anything about anyone being back here." The young man turned around not even aware that the door had been opened. "Oh." he said, staring Katie down as if she had a third eye. "Im Katie, the new bartender." She said timidly, as she set her stuff down in a corner of the room. "Im Maurice, Angela's son." He said rising from the chair, taking in the latest prospect his mother had hired. She must have been about 5'7, slender build with brown hair, and blue eyes. Nothing really stood out about her, she was just average. Katie began to squirm under Maurice's heavy gaze as he looked at her from head to toe, a seemingly unimpressed gaze crossing his face. "Uhmm," she cleared her throat and his eyes snapped up to meet hers. " Do you work here too?" She questioned. "Nah, Im a police officer at the 55th down the street aways. Well I gotta get outta here, my shift is about to start." He said flatly, as he glanced her up and down one more time. "I'll see ya around I guess." He said as he walked out the door. "Yeah, I hope not." She said under her breath, amazed that a nice woman like Angela could have such an unfriendly son. She turned to walk out of the back room and was greeted by Angela. "Oh sorry about that dear I forgot he was back there. He didn't give you any trouble did he?" "Oh no, not at all," Katie said forcing the cheerfulness, to come up. She didn't want Angela feeling bad for the fact her son was a complete ass. "Im just about finished stocking Absolute, and the Corona. Why don't you come out front and show me what drinks you can make." Angela said cheerfully as she led Katie out to the front of the bar. "The big rush starts in about an hour.that's when the construction crews get off. Hopefully that's enough time for you to show me your stuff." Katie followed Angela out, but for some reason she was still thinking about her encounter with Maurice. She shook her head, and focused on the task at hand, making a killer Bloody Mary.
