"Zane if you don't stop howling I swear I'm pulling over right now." Peter said through a laugh and Zane let out another wolf-like noise. Riley rolled his eyes as Drew and Sav laughed heartily. Peter's eyes were firmly planted on the road above him as they neared the Dot in order to avoid hitting any trick-or-treaters.
"Oh come on, you know you love it." Zane retorted and then turned to face the back of the van "See, they love it." Zane howled once more and Peter slammed on the breaks, causing Sav fly in between their seats.
"Shit Pete you can't do that when you have people back here." Sav rubbed his head and pulled himself back into a sitting position as Peter pulled into the back lot of the Dot.
"Bring the booze upstairs," He began, cutting the engine and handing his keys to Zane "I'll go get Spinner." Zane nodded and his four friends walked up the wooden stairs carrying boxes of beer, bottles of gin and bags of chips. This would be a Halloween to remember for sure Peter thought as he entered the Dot and saw Spinner wiping down the counter.
"Poker time man, let's close this bitch up." Peter enthused, holding out a hand for Spinner to slap but he was left hanging "What's up dude?" Peter asked, more concerned now. Spinner's eyes slowly crept upwards to meet his friends.
"Jane's in town and she asked to hang out." He said quietly and Peter's eyes narrowed.
"No way man, fuck that we all had an agreement."
"Pete relax, she's with her mom and Lucas right now, I can stay for awhile." Spinner said. He had anticipated that Peter would be mad considering tonight was his idea. Ever since Darcy had gotten together with Declan, Peter was one hundred percent against all things relationships.
"Alright well then let's go, the guys are upstairs." Peter said and the two of them walked out the back door and up to the club where their friends sat. Drew had a beer can perched unsteadily on his knee as he laughed at Sav who was doing some sort of posing against one of the speakers.
"You ladies ready to get your asses beat?" Spinner asked and Riley stood from his chair.
"Nobody is beating anything until we toast." He said, approaching the poker table and filling six shot glasses with gin. Zane began to protest his shot but all of his friends silenced him. "Don't be a fucking party pooper." Riley added before raising his shot glass "Happy Halloween." He said and all five of the other boys mimicked his actions. Simultaneously they all swallowed the liquor and everyone, with the exception of Peter, winced in disgust.
"The true sign of an alcoholic" Sav noted, patting him on the shoulder and Peter scoffed.
"Can we just play already?" He asked and they all nodded, taking a seat at the table to begin the last game of strip poker most of them would ever play.
