Friends in high Places
Catching up
Tommy Pearl was dropped back of onto the navy vessel, as soon as Jeff was sure they could trust him not to blab their secret to the world. He was told that Scott was aloud to the mainland for a couple of drinks to catch up on old times as long as they did not talk about the mission they had just done.
Tommy and Astin sat in the bar, Tommy wore a worn pair of jeans, sandals and a pale blue shirt, and he had put gel in his hair so, it was all spiked and he sat on a seat facing the door.
Astin was slightly shorter than Tommy and had brown hair with blonde tips, it did not look like it was brushed or styled in any particular manner. He wore black boots, bootleg blue trousers and a tight black T-shirt and he sat facing Tommy. Astin was younger than Tommy but had a character of his own; he loved woman and himself, the latter of which is shared by Tommy.
Tommy looked up as he saw a familiar figure walk through the door, Scott was wearing a shiny blue shirt, that was a superb fit and showed his well kept physique, he wore tight dark coloured jeans and black steel toe capped shoes. He decided to gel his hair up to perfection and he smiled as he walked over to his old friend.
They started of the evening with light conversation and beers, a group of nurses sat over on a table and kept watching the three musketeers like men as they laughed and drank. Scott ordered a round of drinks for the ladies, as he knew that would smooth them up for later!
Back on Tracey Island
"Can we trust this pearl guy?" Said John over the Vid COM.
"He's very much like your brother." Slight pause, as he looked dead at John. "John I trust him as much as I trust you boys!" replied Jeff reassuring their secret was safe with Tommy.
"So not a lot then!" said John with a very rare wide grin on his face.
"John, Why is it you can say the funniest things when none of your brothers are around to see it, none of them believe me when I say you make me laugh!" Said Jeff with a smile on his face.
"You see Dad I make you laugh and smile when no-one else is around and I do this because." Slight pause as he waited for his dad to look at him and so he could see his reaction straight of. "You look like you need it." Again the wide grin was on his face.
"Are you saying I look depressed?" He asked his son.
"Oh all the time" he smiled and then added. "Even more when Alan is home from school".
Back in the Bar!
Scott was now dancing with one of the nurses; he held her close and danced slow with the music. She was at the perfect height for Scott to rest his chin on her head as they swayed from side to side and back and forth to the music. Scott looked into the eyes of the Brunette nurse and smiled, she smiled back, she then stopped dead in her tracks and she stepped backward, as she placed one hand on her mouth and then bolted for the loos.
Tommy sat at the bar and watched as one of the nurses danced and almost held up Astin, while the opposite was happening with Scott. He sat and drunk another beer and continued to throw side-glances at the barmaid, as she refilled his glass from time to time.
Astin was now sitting on the floor; obviously the alcohol had taken over his legs. He sat and looked at the surrounding area and started to look at some brightly coloured materiel, he sat rubbing the material that was so enchanting, like a child with a new toy. SLAP He received a slap on the face from the girl standing by him when, she had realised he was looking up her skirt.
"Do you think we should rescue him?" Scott said as he stood by Tommy at the bar.
Back on Tracey Island
Alan had just got out of the bath and all he had around him was a towel, he headed towards his room when his dad called him into the living room.
"You bellowed!" Said Alan, as he stood in the doorway still dripping wet.
He looked into the room and saw Virgil and Gordon were sitting on the couch opposite his father. Alan walked over and sat on the couch in between Gordon and Virgil, he then ran his hand roughly through his hair letting the beads of water splash his two brothers as they sat next to him. They in return both slapped him on his bare back hard enough to cause pain, but light enough for their father not to scorn them.
"I wanted to gather you three together, to check and see if you were alright after the incident earlier on" began Jeff, as he looked at his three youngest sons.
"We're fine dad!" chimed in all three of them.
"Oh really" He said and then sipped his cup of coffee, he then looked at Alan. "How long was it before you left your seat?"
"Urm, about 30 minutes, why?" he said as he fiddled with his towel.
"Gordon, where did you disappear to when we docked in the silo?" he said as he switched his power stare from Alan to Gordon.
"The Men's room, I had to pee!" He said, trying to avoid the power stare of Jeff Tracey.
"And, Virgil!" he said and he gain switched his stare, from Gordon onto Virgil. "Is it just me or did it sound like the piano needed tuning when you sat and played it this afternoon?"
"Definitely needed tuning!" he said with a smug grin thinking he had gotten the perfect answer.
"Tune itself while you were playing did it?" Jeff said, as he sipped his coffee again, but keeping his eyes fixed on his son.
"Oh yes it did, you see it's a magic piano" Said Virgil.
Jeff put his cup down and placed a hand on Gordon's knee and Virgil's knee and looked at the three of them. "I know you boys put a lot of yourselves into this job, but I need to know that you are ok, and that I knew what was best in that particular situation. I need to know if you trust your old man and that I didn't...."
"Scare the shit out of us!" said Gordon cutting in.
"GORDON!" Jeff shouted.
"Sorry, but you did. When you let go of the controls and lectured Alan I thought you had lost it. You then manoeuvred us in front of the missile and we were scared dad!" Gordon said this with concern and worry in his voice.
"Of course we were scared at the time but we will get over it like we always do!" Said Alan; he then got up to dry off as he was getting a little cold.
Back in the Bar!
Scott and Tommy were doing the actions to Tragedy by steps, which was playing at the moment, Astin was still sat on the floor but was trying his best, his arms thrown about in the air every now and again but not in time with the others. To the words 'Hard to bear with no one beside you, your going nowhere', Scott and Tommy turned to each other and were dancing with each other like a married couple and then they would turn out again for the 'tragedy part'. They went back in again like a couple for 'down I go and I just can't take it all alone, I really should be holding you holding you...' Scott was thinking that he dad would go ballistic once he found out that Scott felt this wasted.
Scott couldn't believe how much fun he was having, he had missed all of this by being at home with his dad the whole time and was never able to go out and get drunk, like he did when he was in the airforce and he never did that anymore. Suddenly as the next song came on he and Tommy stormed the empty stage, the song was the "Grease Mega Mix" and Tommy took on the role of Danny and Scott took on the role of Sandy when those where needed. It started of with 'summer loving' and Scott was looking pretty comfortable in the role of Sandy for this tune, he knew that Tommy would act like a big girls blouse if he had to be a girl. Next you had 'grease lightening' and well lets just say a few more drunken airmen decided to join them on the stage as it did look like fun.
At chucking out time, Tommy kissed the barmaid after he had been apologising for Astin puking up across the entire exit floor and walked over to Scott, who was leaning against the wall. Tommy could not tell if it was just Scott being himself or that he needed holding up against the wall.
"Good evening Scott Tracey, are we having a lovely time?"
"Who said that?" said Scott not seeing anyone but him and his pals in the street.
"An old friend of yours!" replied the voice as a figure stepped out into the light from the wall.
"NO!" said Scott as he realised who it was.
"He has a shiny head!" Said Astin who was looking up from the ground.
