I rode to McGinty's and laid my bike against the wall. I walked into the bar to see a short old man behind the bar. I walked over to him.

"W-w-w-what c-c-c-can I do for ya lass?" He asked. It seemed that he had trouble getting the words out.

"A friend of mine left his jacket at work today. He told me that he comes in here often and I was wondering if you knew possibly where he lived?" I said leaning on the counter.

"Well W-w-w-what is your f-f-f-friends name?"

"Connor MacManus." I said with a smile forming at the edge of my mouth.

"Aye, I know the lad. Fuck! Ass!" he said. He looked somewhat embarrassed. "I'm s-s-s-sorry lass"

"Don't be sorry. My Uncle had turret's. I'm pretty used to it." I said.

"W-w-w-well me name is Doc."

"Nice to meet you Doc. I'm Caprice." I said as we shook hands.

"Aye, an Italian." he said and turned around. He pulled out a small piece of paper and wrote on it.

"Here is t-t-t-t-the address to where they live." he said and looked up. "C-c-c-can I offer you a pint before ya go?" he asked.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I will take you up on that offer another time though." I said with a smile. "Thanks Doc."

"N-n-n-no problem lass." he said with a smile and I left. Their place was close by and easier than I thought to find. I took the elevator to the fifth level and walked to a door. I had the jacket and bread in one hand and the piece of paper with the address in the other. I knocked with my free hand. The door opened almost immediately. Connor was standing there in nothing but a towel. Murphy was also in a towel sitting on one of the beds.

"Hey guys is this a bad time?" I asked looking at Murphy.

"Hey, no this is as good as a time as any." Murphy said with a smirk.

"You left your jacket in the locker room." I said to Connor handing him the jacket. "And I brought a loaf of potato bread just for the hell of it." I said with a smile.

"Aye, come in darling." Connor said with a smile. I walked into the apartment it was a dump, but nothing compared to mine.

"Sorry this place isn't not clean nor tidy." Murphy said.

"Hey I sleep on a couch in an apartment that's basically a room. At least you have a shower and running water. I have to go to work for that." I said with humor. They both laughed a little.

"How'd you find us?" Connor asked lighting a cigarette.

"I went to McGinty's and asked a fellow named Doc for your address." I said. They both laughed.

"I cant believe that." Murphy said. "So are you going to join us tonight?" he asked.

"As much as I would love to I cant." I said checking my watch. "I was actually suppose to be back on the road 5 minutes ago." I said walking to the door.

"Aye, you don't like us?" Connor asked opening the door for me.

"No, I like you guys plenty. I have other plans." I said with a smile and walked partly out the door and turned around. "Plus I know how you Irish boys are on St. Patty's day." I said with a wink. "Drinking, bar fights, I know."

"Aye, we aren't like that." Connor said. I gave him a look like 'OK explain the nose then.' He walked over to his brother.

"What bakery did you say you worked at?" Murphy said as he was inspecting the bread.

"O'Malley's Bakery, it's the one down the street a ways." I said. "Maybe if you guys come when you run out I'll give ya one for free. See ya later guys." I said and walked off to the elevator. I ran out of the building to my bike and sped off. I was running late.

…...

I made it to the Bakery in record time. I put my bike in the back. Ashlyn was standing at the front door waiting for me.

"See I'm not that late." I said. She turned around.

"It's 7:05." she said in a fake angry tone. When she used any tone in the negative she looked evil. It was because of her red hair.

"Exactly not that late." I said jokingly and walking over to her.

"Right." she said as she held the door open for me and walked out herself. She locked the door.

"So tell me about this guy you went to see today." she said as she locked her arm with mine and we walked down the street to her parents house.
