“Simple. We're in it together. Besides, that wasthe first bar fight I’ve been in for YEARS,” the other man said.“My wife is going to kill me though. She said this wouldhappen.”
Brendon laughed. “Welcome to the club,Krutz.”
Alexander and Ryan were surprised to see Lt.Kripke come into the jail.
“Yeah, those are my men,” he said with a sigh.He pointed to Alexander, Ryan and Phillip.
They were waved out, but Phillip and Ryan bothshook their heads.
“Sorry Sir, We don't leave guys behind,” Phillipsaid easily.
Kripke sighed again. “Which ones?”
Phillip pointed toward Kenneth, Brendon andPatrick.
“They are too.”
Once they were out of the station, Eric Kripketurned on the three. “I don't even wanna know, but I would reallyappreciate y'all not doing this again.”
“Sorry Sir,” Alexander mumbled.
“Grabowski, if I didn't like you I would beseriously pissed off, but it's hard not to like the man whoschooled me and kept my ass out of the shit. So, we'll say this wasjust a big misunderstanding and let it go. Don't fucking wear thatshirt to a bar again!”
Phillip mumbled 'yes, sir'.
They all watched the LT leave.
“Y'all got a cool as hell LT,” Brendon said.
“'M Hungry,” Kenneth said and everyone realizedthat they were still hungry and that the LT had left them allalone.
“Come on, you fuck-ups,” came the call frominside a van. “I can't fucking believe this shit. Next time youguys keep me from coming with you I'll kick your motherfuckingasses. We clear?”
This time everyone grinned at Mark.
“Of course, mom. And we didn't forget to washour hands after using the jails’ urinal,” Phillip quipped. They allpiled into the van and headed toward an all-night diner, if theycould agree on one.
Chapter Ten
They decided not to go out for food. Insteadthey decided to go back to the bar.
Mark took them all back there except forAlexander, who thought his wife would be happy if he came home.Kenneth called him pussy whipped but said he understood. Brendonjust smiled. They all waved as they pulled back out of hisdrive.
Once back in the bar Patrick went into thekitchen to make them all something to eat.
“Okay, buzz is wearing off must have more,”Kenneth declared and slipped behind the bar, filling mugsagain.
“Damn Kenny...give a fella a break!” Brendonsaid, and then proceeded to drink his beer.
Both Ryan and Phillip shrugged and drank thebeer given to them.
“Damn, Freckles, where did you learn all thatfancy hand to hand stuff?” Phillip asked, grinning at the otherman.
“Picked a few things up,” Ryan replied with asmile.
“I wouldn't fuck with Ryan too much, Phillip. Hecan almost kick my ass now,” Mark said after taking a drink.
An hour later Patrick came in with fried bolognasandwiches and chips. He looked around the bar and sighed. “Atleast the place didn't get broken up too badly.”
