They had only been at the waterfront for a little over a half hour. That short amount of time, however, was long enough for Olivia to already be cracking up at all the guys stories, and for Munch to be extremely embarrassed. He was happy to see them all again, especially Stan, but that did not stop him from silently willing them to just shut up.

" And then there was the time when his latest girlfriend, Felicia, broke up with him for the second time..." Began Stan with a grin.

Munch could see Olivia's eyes go extremely curios at this, especially at the part, "latest girlfriend." Deciding that telling Stan to stop would be pointless, he let his old partner tell the tale of his stupid, fish-oriented mistake."

" I swear, I have never known the Munchkin here to keep a girlfriend for more than two weeks." Commented Meldrick with a chuckle.

"Who knows though," added Kay, " maybe he's changed." She turned to face him with a sly, almost knowing grin, " Have any luck with the ladies lately Munchkin?"

Munch allowed his gaze to quickly dart towards Olivia. She gave him a warning look, as he expected she would, and lightly kicked his foot under the table.

"No." He stated with a small smile, " no Mrs. Munch the fifth yet." Kay noted that he didn't really answer her question, and then went back to the story-telling, wanting nothing more than to embarrass her long time pal even more.

" Frank. Hey Frank!" She called across the table, pulling Pembleton away from his conversation with Bayliss. Once she got his attention, she questioned as if she already knew the answer, "What's the one disturbing yet hilarious thing in this world that will always be ingrained in your mind?"

Frank made an uncharacteristic, disgusted face, and said with something close to fear, " The art gallery."

When Olivia heard everyone at the table, except for Munch, who merely blushed, crack up, she leaned foreword as curiosity overcame her and asked, "what art gallery?"

This just caused everyone to crack up even more, and Munch to lightly smack his own forehead. Oblivious to Munch's embarrassment, Meldrick helped to continue the story.

"So this art gallery opens in front of the station house, right? And we're all curious, so we go and check it out. Turns out the whole thing is all about "Hippie Days" or something like that, and when we get to the back of the gallery..."He pauses dramatically, trying not to grin, "there's this huge picture of Munch, with long black hair, with a tattoo of a marijuana leaf clearly visible on his chest.

"A tattoo of a marijuana leaf?" Olivia asked with disbelief. She figured it was best if they didn't know she had already seen said tattoo...well lets just say quite a few times.

"Yeah, and every other part of him was visible to. If you know what I mean." Meldrick gave her a sly grin, causing her to blush slightly on her boyfriends' behalf. She then looked the man in question and grinned at him. Munch just rolled his eyes at her, and Bayliss wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

They chatted for a little while longer, with Olivia occasionally jumping in to tell more recent stories, and Munch interrupting to either defend himself ortell storiesd of his own, usually about Stan or others from the squad. After an hour or so, Olivia volunteered to go grab them another pitcher of beer. Kay followed.

"You guys love teasing John, huh?" Commented Olivia jokingly, once she realized Kay was following close behind her.

Kay caught up to her and shrugged, "What can I say, it's an old past time."

Olivia laughed, "Don't worry. It's like that back home too."

Kay nodded with a smile, and then went behind the counter to grab another pitcher of beer. Filling it up halfway and then putting the money in the cash register, she came to sit next to Olivia at the bar.

"Let's sit here for a minute, I'm curious about something. I'm sure the boys can wait."

Olivia swallowed a mouthful of the drink she had brought with her from the table and asked "Okay, what do you wan to know?"

Kay thought for a moment, as if deciding how to word her question.

"How long have you two been together?"

"Oh," Olivia chuckled, "We're not even really partners. I mean I've known him for quite a few years and all, but our real partners are in court this week, so we were sent up here, that's all." She thought that had satisfied Kay, until...

Kay chuckled.

"Actually," She paused to give Olivia a knowing look, "I meant how long have you two been together as a couple?"

Olivia almost chocked to death on her drink.
