"F*ck me" A man stares at himself in the mirror

He sighs, shaking his head

"HEY, KYRON, YOU ABOUT READY?" Another man yells

"YEAH, I'LL BE THERE IN A SEC" Mirror man shouts

"ALRIGHT, WE'RE WAITING ON YOU" Door man's voice fades out

Mirror man takes out his wallet

He stares at a picture of himself standing next to a woman who looks like she's maybe 7-8 ish months pregnant

His face smiles slightly

"Focus on her later Kyron, focus on her later" Mirror man sighs

He walks out of the bathroom and grabs his jacket

"You need to shave your balls or something?" Door man asks

"Nobody needs to p*ss or anything?" Kyron asks

"Nah, we'll be p*ssing off buildings if we get drunk enough" Another guy chuckles

"Who's the driver?" Kyron asks

"Me, don't worry, I've got this covered" A woman puts sunglasses on

"I'm not plannin' on dyin' today, so I hope to hell you do" Pee man chuckles

"Yep, let's go" The woman walks out

Door man follows her

"Hey" Kyron grabs Door man by the arm before he leaves

"What's up?" Door man asks

"Mar, I've just...I've got a bad feeling about this, I don't know why, I've just got a pit in my stomach like something's gonna go wrong" Kyron explains, a worried look on his face

"We'll be fine, if you don't believe me then ask as Carry, she's literally been practicing her driving skills just for this" Mar chuckles

"Just...can I lay this one out?" Kyron asks

"Look, you need to get out of the house, you've been sitting here sulking for about a year now, c'mon" Mar opens the door

"YOU COMIN' OR ARE WE THE ONLY ONE'S GETTIN' HEAD?" Pee man asks

"PUTTY, WE'RE COMING, HOLD ON" Mar yells

"Alright" Putty drinks from a bottle of whisky

Kyron and Mar get into a car

Carry starts driving

Kyron sits hunchbacked, deep in thought

"Hey, you guys want some?" Putty hands Mar a cigarette

"Sure" Mar takes two

Putty starts smoking a cigarette himself

"Here" Mar hands Kyron a cigar

"...What the hell" Kyron takes it

Mar lights his and gives Kyron his lighter

"Thanks" Kyron lights the cigarette

He inhales the smoke deeply

"Give me one" Carry puts her hand out

Putty gives Carry a cigarette

"Thanks" She starts smoking with everyone

The car continues down the road, the radio increases and falls in volume by the bumps in the road

They get to a Nightclub

"This the right one?" Carry asks, parallel parking

"Yup, Heaven N' Hell, right?" Putty asks

"Right" Mar nods

Kyron stares at the fabric of the car floor

"Look, Kyron, listen to me" Mar puts his hand on Kyron's shoulder

"I don't wanna hear your speeches, let's just go in" Kyron shakes his head

Mar frowns

"I grew up in f*cking New York and that was hard" Carry gets out of the car

The group walks into the nightclub

"Wow, nice place" Putty stomps out his cigar

"I know, right?" Mar looks around

"Hey, I'm going to the bar, anyone else coming with me?" Kyron asks

"I'll just be hovering around" Putty shrugs

"I'm going over to the jukebox" Mar adds

"And I'll be sitting at a table, trying to not drink" Carry walks away

"Guess it'll just be me" Kyron sits at the bar

He sits there, staring

"Bartender?" Kyron taps the desk

"Oh-Sh*t, hey, sorry, what kind of drink do you want?" A rather large-...is that who I think it is?

"Cherry Vodka" Kyron sighs

"Wow, that's an old one, you sure?" The bartender asks

"Yeah, I don't like some of the new sh*t like 'Margna Carp-' Whatever the hell it is" Kyron chuckles

"I know, right?" The bartender goes under the desk

Kyron pops his back

"Where you from?" Bartender fills a glass full of vodka

"Illinois" Kyron answers

"Windy city, huh?" Bartender smiles

"Close" Kyron takes a sip

"So, what's your name?" Bartender crosses his arms

"I'm Kyron, why do you care?" Kyron asks

"Easy there, just trying to make conversation" Bartender explains

"What's your name?" Kyron asks

The bartender looks at the door

"You got any friends?" He asks

"You're avoiding the question" Kyron points out

"I like you, get your friends over here" The bartender commands

"Why?" Kyron asks

"You ask me another question and that drink isn't gonna be on the house" Bartender points to his vodka

"You never told me it was on the-" Kyron starts to say

"Get your friends, quick" Bartender pats his hand on the desk

"Fine" Kyron gets up 

"Oh hey Ky, you okay?" Mar asks

"Come with me" Kyron motions him

"What-why?" Mar asks

"I've got no idea, come with me or get Carry and bring her to the bar" Kyron answers

"...Okaaaay?" Mar walks over to Carry

"Putty, c'mere" Kyron waves at Putty

"You want a smoke?" Putty asks

"Why'd you gather us up?" Carry groans

"Great, so these are your friends?" The bartender seems to appear behind Kyron

"JEZZ-HOLY SH*T" Carry jumps

Putty starts wheezing

"You-You-Your f*cking-face-It's Oh god, Oh god-I-I can't-" Putty is laughing so hard he's crying

Kyron laughs

"So why'd you get us together?" Mar asks

"Well-" Kyron starts to say

"I need you guys to come with me" The bartender jumps over the counter

"I'm sure if I asked you why we're doing this you'd answer in some vague format" Kyron hops over the desk

"Okay, so-I don't want my pants to rip, how do I do this?" Carry asks, trying to slide over the counter

"Good god Ky, I knew you were in the f*cking army but how'd you jump over this thing?" Mar has as much trouble as Carry does

"It's easy, just watch" Putty backs up to the other side of the room

Mar and Carry watch him

"BING BOP BOOP" Putty dives over the desk, crashing straight into the bottle display

"It's on the floor" Bartender stares at Putty

"So, don't do that, got it" Carry shakes her head

"God, you guys are like 3 year olds trying to get out of a pool" Kyron starts laughing

"WELL WE'RE NOT AS FLEXABLE AS YOU, ARE WE?" Carry asks

"GET A F*CKING CHAIR OR WALK THROUGH THE LITTE DOOR THING" Kyron laughs

Carry looks at a chair

Mar looks at the gate

"We're dumba**es" Mar and Carry say simeotainiously 

"I know" Kyron smiles

"I think...I think I have another concussion" Putty stares at the ceiling

Carry jumps on a chair then over the counter

Mar walks through the gate

"Now get down here" Bartender crouches down

The gang gets on the floor

"So can I ask why?" Mar asks

"You'll find out in a second" The bartender nods

"GET THE F*CK ON THE GROUND" A man runs in, flailing a gun around
