Here it is, finally.
"Don't worry." Allie said smiling and patted her ample stomach. "I can hold my alcohol.
Pendergast soon found out that this was a complete and utter lie. The evening started off badly when Amy ordered strong drinks for the three women. The situation soon escaladed to phenomenal proportions. When Nell and Allie began to sing there own version of several Christmas carols, (Instead of Jingle Bells they were singing Jingle Balls.), and Amy was giver her load opinion on colors to some poor guy, Pendergast decided enough was enough and tried to cut the ladies off. After slipping some money to the bartender for the drinks, he proceeded to pry Nell and Allie off the Karaoke machine and take them unwillingly into an empty room.
Pendergast walked purposely to Amy, who had taken to man she was with to a whole new level of uncomfortable situations.
"See, Red is a good guy, y'know? So's Blue. And then there's Orange. Between you and me, Orange is an asshole. He's always runnin' around with Yellow behind Pink's back! And, - Hey! You're shrinking!" She exclaimed as her victim slowly backed away.
Pendergast put his hand on Amy's shoulder causing her to spin around.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" She screamed. Once seeing her captor, her face contorted into a large grin. "Hey! I know you! Hey, everybody! I know this guy!" Amy loudly informed the patrons as Pendergast dragged her away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pendergast sat at a round table. Next to him on either side sat Nell and Amy; Allie sat across from him. Surrounding their table was empty cans and bottles of various sorts. Despite his strength, Pendergast had learned that nothing could get in the way of these three drunken women and more alcohol. He decided it would be better if he just sat there quietly.
At the moment, all three women were nursing on their own bottle of Smirnoff Ice. Allie was singing a Journey song, but in her drunken state she could only remember one verse. She sang that over and over again. Nell was arguing with a chair over how hot Harrison Ford was, and Amy was keeping herself busy with insulting Pendergast.
"You know what, Pendergast? When I first met you I thought you were an asshole. But now that I know you better, I still think yer and asshole." She nodded and took a swig from her bottle.
In the background, Allie was singing, "She took the midnight train going any-where… Do do do…"
Amy continued, "And you know what else, Pendy? I don't like what yer sayin' about the……thing. Yeah. In fact, this is what I tink about your ideas." She poured most of her bottle on his lap, and then promptly drained the rest. "I's got sumting else to say to you's. I quit." With that, Amy passed out on Pendergast's shoulder.
"Oh, Aloishush, let me help you with that." Nell offered, after kicking the chair across the room. He didn't think it was possible for her to slur his name any worse. Nell pushed Amy off his shoulder, who then slid to the floor, still asleep. Nell climbed on to Pendergast lap. "Okay, let's get you all cleaned up. Ooooh… He's warm…" She mumbled, falling asleep.
"DON'T STOP BELIEVING! Hey! " Allie paused seeing her companions had both fallen asleep. A wide grin spread across her face. "I WIN!"
At that moment, there was a loud knowing at the door. Allie fell to the floor screaming, "OH MY GOD! ITS WORLD WAR THREE!" She crawled under the table and continued to rant about how the German's flaming celery stick army was going to wipe them all out.
The door opened as two policemen walked in. "We got a call about a wild party." They then got a good look at the situation in front of them: An unconscious woman sitting on an alcohol soaked, and rather terrified man. There was another woman asleep on his shoe while the third was screaming about fascist pigs. "There must have been one hell of a party in here. What happened?"
"They got…..carried away." Pendergast said calmly as he looked down at Amy, who was drooling on his handmade shoes. "Could you help me get them to my car? I'll drive them to our hotel.
"Um…. Alright." One officer said while the other tried to coax Allie out from under the table. He jerked his hand back as Allie snapped at him.
"Thank you." Pendergast said gratefully as he picked up Nell. The other officer carried Amy out to the car. As Pendergast stepped back into the bar, he felt a finger poke into his chest.
"Hey." Allie slurred. "You can pick up the tab."
THE END
