Chapter 4: Truth of the night
Sherry: You're the guy from last night
Grey: whatever i did I'm sorry, i was drunk and i imagine i wasn't pleasant to be around, so sherry, could you tell me what happened last night?
Sherry: sure i guess...well it all started last night at the bar just off Broadway
~Flash Back~ October 6th-11:27pm
Location: Major's Bar
Bartender: so you're not from these parts are you?
Grey: (at this point only slightly drunk) nope, I'm thousands of miles away from home
Bartender: well that's nice i guess, travelling is good for a man, it's a natural instinct
Grey: true, my life at home was horrible, i drank to the point i messed up my job and even worse my mother and father disowned me, so i sold everything i had and moved here looking to start fresh but i can't get a job because of what happened before.
Bartender: sorry to hear about that, if it makes you feel any better, you're probably not the only one with problems like that.
Grey: (slightly drunk) that's really funny, how's a smart guy like you has stuck in this job.
Bartender: It was my dad's bar, so naturally i followed in his footsteps and ended up running this place myself
Grey: that's great, my parents were famous actors back where I'm from, everyone thought I'd follow in their steps and until the age of 16 i did but then i saw something that made me change my mind.
Bartender: well I'd like to hear more, just let me serve these ladies and I'll come back
Grey: (drunkenly) take your time; I'll be here all night
(Moving up the bar)
Bartender: so what can i get you ladies?
Sherry: I'll have a have a Cosmo and my friend here will have a margarita
Bartender: coming right up
Grey: (shouting up to the bartender) I'll pay for their drinks, in fact everyone's next drink is on me
(The whole bar cheers)
Bartender: ooo big spender, well i hope you have enough money for everyone
Grey: well I've got 2 grand in my jacket here so i think I'm just dandy (let's out drunken burp)
Bartender: two grand, why would you carry that much money on you, that's idiotic, that's insane, that's...
Grey: a hell of a lot of drinks and maybe enough for a nice hotel for the night (giggles)
Sherry: thanks for the drinks
Grey: no problem, enjoy them
(Time skip 1:33am)
Grey: so that's how i became a lawyer, and fought my parents for independence, just like the good old us of a (heavy drunk laughter)
Sherry: that's really great, well I and my friend are going to leave now but it's been nice talking to you
(Gets up to leave)
(The door to the bar is forcefully slammed as hard as possible nearly taking it off the hinges)
(Three members of the L.A.P.D enter in a furious state)
Officer 1: i can't believe the amount of crap i got of the chief today, telling me it's my last warning, all because i hit that guy a little bit too hard and paralysed him
Officer 2: you think that's bad, he found out that i made some comments about that sexy new officer down in bomb disposal and told me I've got to apologise and take a course, otherwise I'm gonna be off the force.
Officer 3: well I'm finished for the day; i wanna have a drink and have a good time with some senoritas
Officer 1: your right, let's scout the bar for some action, i could do with reliving some tension
Officer 2: how about those two over there next to the beardy guy?
Officer 1: wow they look tight, boys i think we should introduce ourselves hahaha
Officer 3: so who get's first dibs?
Officer 2: how about we take turns?
Officer 3: after you then buddy
(The three of them approach sherry and her friend)
Officer 1: so i notice you and your friend there are looking really nice tonight
Sherry: thanks, I and she were just leaving
Officer 2: how about we buy you ladies one last drink before you go?
Sherry: that's really nice but it's late and I've got work tomorrow, come on Sarah let's go
Officer 3: really i think we'd prefer if you took a drink with us
Sarah: sher. Their scaring me, let's go
Officer 1: not so fast, i just wanna get to know you (grasps her wrist tight)
Sarah: let go of me
Sherry: hey buddy let go of her
Officer 2: how about you shut up (slaps sherry face and then spits on her)
You piece of crap, i could have any girl here, count yourself lucky
(He feels a sharp pain across the back of his head as he gets knocked out)
Grey: (Holding a cue stick) you guys are being real noisy, i was enjoying a quiet drink when you S***stains walked in here and started making all this racquet
Officer 1: who the heck are you?
Grey: just a guy who likes to drink (swings cue stick connecting with officer 3's face and knocking him out) oh well you guys were all talk (staggers slightly)
Officer 1: you'll pay for that (goes to punch grey and connects with grey's face)
Grey: that the best you got (drunkenly swings cue stick at officer 1, hit's him in the legs before grey falls over and doesn't get back up)
Officer 1: you can't even stand up straight, are you expecting to beat me?
Grey: (mumbles)
Officers: (gets closer to grey) i didn't hear that you piece of crap
Grey: i said surprise, jackass (launches cues tick upwards into the testicular region of officer 1)
Bartender: Right, everyone stay where you are, i've called the police, everyone stay where you are
Grey: bit late for that now but ok (passes out from being drunk)
(Back to the present)
Sherry: so that's what happened more or less
Grey: i sound like a drunken idiot
Trucy: , you help save sherry and Sarah from those three guys, and you just act like you did nothing
Grey: well if i didn't do it someone else would have
( enters back into the shop area)
: oh sherry darling, you're back from the police station, so are you feeling better now?
Sherry: yeah dad I'm great, turns out the guy who helped me and Sarah yesterday is this guy in front of you.
Mr. Twirl: oh my, well sir, I'm in your debt, how can i thank you for helping my daughter
Grey: it's no problem, honestly now i just feel embarrassed, can we get on with this
Mr. Twirl: ah yes, well i have 3 suits here, one in black, one in lavender and one in Silver
Grey: well how about i try on that silver one?
Mr. Twirl: go ahead; the changing room is just there
(Grey enters the changing room)
Sherry: your friend there seems to be rather modest doesn't he
Trucy: i won't lie, when i met him earlier, i thought he was rude, sarcastic and a general pain in the butt but I've gotten to know him a bit and i found he's likeable in some ways, almost like a rouge knight
Mr. Twirl: hahaha Miss. Trucy, you make him sound fascinating, something tells me that we won't be seeing the last of him once he leaves here today.
(Grey exits the changing room wearing the new suit)
Grey: so how do i look?
Trucy: it's a bit of a depressing colour but otherwise it's great
Sherry: it looks lovely, how about you try on these shoes, and I'm guessing you're about a UK 11 by the size of your feet.
Grey: wow that's some talent you got there
Sherry: i have to be that amazing otherwise we wouldn't be able to satisfy every customer we have
Grey: (putting on shoes) these feel great, not too tight but just loose enough that i can wiggle my toes
Mr. Twirl: I'm glad you like them,
Grey: well i think we're all done here, so Mr. Twirl how much do i owe you?
Mr. Twirl: you saved my daughter, do you really think i could charge you a single cent
Grey: Mr. Twirl i really can't accept this
Sherry: sure you can, just promise you'll get a shave and a haircut and we'll call it a deal
Grey: i can't win with my hair today can i? (Sighs) well what are you gonna do, I'll accept
Trucy: great, i can finally walk in the open without being ashamed of you
Grey: (dramatically grasps) oh woe is me, my dear trucy hath no heart
Trucy: (laughs) , thats silly
Grey: we should be leaving anyway, i did just agree to a shave and a haircut, twirl family thank you for everything
Sherry and Mr. Twirl: no thank you, we'll be seeing you
Mr. Twirl: And remember you ever want a new suit I'll cut you a great deal
Grey: thanks again
(leaves)
(After another two hours of eating, having a shave and a haircut as well as buying a brown leather briefcase, trucy and grey arrive outside the court house)
