JIM'S TAVERN: 8 O'CLOCK P.M.
Hannah and the two men entered the little tavern. She, Lennie,and Mike both walked up to the counter and Mike ordered drinks. At first Hannah didn't get a feel of the atmosphere, but when she did she wanted to gag. It was all hazy, like chain-smokers sit there all day and talk about all the stuff going on in their lives that make them miserable. And it was stuffed with men with too much testoterone in their systems, talking about the girl they slept with last night. At that point Hannah didn't know how much longer she could hold out and they JUST GOT THERE! Well, she still had Mike and Lennie to talk to right? Wrong! Mike was over with another group of detectives from the Precinct, and Lennie was flirting with a young, pretty waitress. Ohhh yeah, Lennie definatley reminded her of her father. All of a sudden, a man came up to obviously drunk. Dead drunk.
"Hey, you! I'm about to head home wanna come with me, we could have some fun!" he said. He was a pretty good looking guy with black hair and blue eyes. But his mouth reaked of way too much Budwieser. He actually reminded her of a past boyfriend. Hannah put on a fake smile.
"You going to drive?" she asked concerned.The man heavliy nodded. She didn't want to arrest him so she told him...
"Listen, I've got $5.00 here, I'm going to ask a waiter here if he can take you on the bus to get you home. Alright?" she said. He just stupidly nodded. Hannah walked over to a waiter and told him the story. The waiter agreed, when she paid him $20.00, and took the drunkie home. She just smirked, she hated bars. She almost forgot why she came in the first place when Lennie tapped her on the shoulder.
"How do you like the place, it's really classic, right?" he said hoping for a good response. She didn't know what she was going to say, so she lied so she wouldn't hurt his feelings.
"Yeah, real classic." she said and smiled. Well, it was kind of the truth, this was a classic bar filled with drunk men. Ohh man, was this going to be a long night.
JIM'S TAVERN: 10 O'CLOCK P.M.
All night (which was 2 hours.) Hannah and Lennie talked about eachother's intrests, hobbies and their lives. Lennie was a real intresting character. He had been married two times, and was a former alcholic. Lennie was a really fun guy, actually, and sweet. Even though he doesn't look friendly. Not once did Hannah see Mike since he bought drinks. She was getting tired, and she had to go to mass tomorrow since it would be Sunday. It was a really good excuse to leave.
"Lennie, I think I'm gonna leave now, I'm really tired. And I have mass in the morning before I have breakfast and see you guys at work." she told Lennie, hoping he wouldn't mind. When Lennie heard this he was a little upset.
"It's been only 2 hours." he said trying to get her to stay. Hannah just shook her head and shrugged her shoulders.
"Sorry" she said smiling sweetly. "but I have to go!" she insisted. Lennie put down his drink and stared at his partner. He just didn't get it. A girl her age would want to go out and have fun. But she wanted to go home. I guess he would never understand.
"Well at least let me be a gentleman and take you home." he said looking at her. Hannah then spotted Mike across the room. He was laughing like a drunk fool, stumbling all over the place, flirting with a real dumb blonde waitress.
"What about the poor drunkie over there?" she said pointing out Mike to Lennie. He wrinkled up even more of his already wrinkly face, thinking of what do do with Mike.
"Ask Johnson, over there to take him home. He's the other designated driver besides me." he said pointing out a short hispanic man, holding a bottle of tonic in his left arm. Hannah bit her lip. It was her usual way to express that she was nervous.
"Can't you ask him, you know him and I... I don't!" she asked, it almost sounded like she was begging.
"Well, me being the gentleman that I am can't let you sit in a cold car. I gotta warm it up first." he said, almost sarcasticly. I guess he was right, she thought. She got up and walked hesitantly to the group of men. Just as she was about to tap the man, known as Johnson, on the shoulder, Mike swaggered his way over to her.
"Hey guys! This my new partner uhhh... I forget her name! She helped solve the case today. Isn't she something." Mike slurred, now hanging on her shoulder. Now the group of men stared at her. How mortifying! All of a sudden the men bursted out laughing at Mike falling over a chair, when he was walking over to the blonde waitress again. Watching over him would definatley be tougher than she thought. But tonight was her first night and she was tired. She could use one break for a little while at least. So she sucked it up and tapped Johnson on the shoulder. He quickly turned around.
"Can I help you?" he asked spilling the tonic water on her white turtleneck. Now he had his mouth hung open wide.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, here let me help you" he said gathering a bunch of napkins off a young couples table.
"Listen it's okay. But can you do me a favor?" she asked the man who still had the bunch of napkins in his hand. He took a sip of his tonic water.
"As long as you forgive me for spilling the tonic water." he said quirking an eyebrow. Hannah nodded, she knew Lennie was probally waiting out side in the freezing cold for her.
"Yeah I forgive. You know that guy Mike Logan? My partrner said you were a desiganted driver for that bunch. So I was wondering if you could take him home. I would but I have mass tomorrow." she said almost out of breath. Johnson laughed.
"Yeah I'll take him home. I've brought him home a bunch times." he said. Hannah was now smiling from ear to ear.
"Thakyou soo much you're a lifesaver. Please tell him that I said goodnight and hopes his hangover isn't a bitch to him in the morning." she said, he nodded and she bolted out the door. She then ran to Lennie's car and got home. The ride to her house was regularley with them making small talk. They finally made it to her apartment. Before she gave him a hug goodbye she slapped her head with frustration.
"I forgot my motorcycle at work!" she almost yelled. Lennie let out a laugh.
"The only person at the Precinct who knows how to drive one of those gizmoes is Jack McCoy. But he has his own, he wouldn't steal it. Besides he's a ADA." Lennie stiffled a laugh again. Hannah smiled.
"I guess you're right and I don't live that faraway from work or Church so I'll walk tomorrow." she said smiling. She then smiled and hugged Lennie.
"Goodnight, and thanks for being such a gentleman!" she said gigling. He laughed.
"What can I say I'm a regular Casanova! Goodnight, I'll see you at work." he said hugging her back and smilied.
He then left and Hannah made her way up to her apartment. She couldn't wait for work tomorrow.
