"Dan.. what a pleasant surprised. I thought you'd come tonight." Phil asked Dan.
"Yeah.. I.. I need to clear my mind first.." Dan answer.
"Do you need anything?" Ask Phil to Dan. He sees Dan a bit different today, but he can't explain it.
"Usual please Phil." Dan answer Phil without seeingn him.
"Alright, just a sec." Phil prepared the drinks for Dan.
A few moments later, Phil come and bring the drinks for Dan, "Here you go big guy."
"Thanks Phil.." Dan drinks it in one shot.
"Wooow that was fast.." Phil teased Dan
Dan just silence.. he looks so miserable to Phil.
"Hmm Dan, I need to tell you something."
Dan look at Phil and says, "What is it Phil.. "
"Well someone came here yesterday asking about you." Phil answer Dan.
Dan shocked but not showing it to Phil, "What.. who?"
"The policeman Alan, Alan Bloomgate. Dan, tell me, you are not involved in bad things?" Phil ask Dan.
Dan answered, "What.. Alan came to find out about me? And what do you tell him?"
"Dan.. don't play with me. Now look at me and tell me that you didn't do bad things."
Dan look Phil in the eyes and said, "Phil.. no I don't do anything."
Phil know Dan is hiding something but he don't want to rushed him or force him to tell the truth.
"Alright then.. I didn't said anything to Alan and he didn't tell me either why he asked about you. I just said that you used to spend some times here."
Dan look down to his empty glass and says, "Okay Phil... thank you for your info. I'd better go home now and prepare for tonight. See you Phil"
