"So, this bear, right, had her claws sunken into this guy's cheek and she ripped all of the muscles in his face out. She cracked his cheekbone, ripped out an eyeball, tore out half of his tongue. The guy's lucky he didn't drown on his blood on the way to the hospital," Jace Bryant said.

Olivia Bellerose, Jace Bryant and Cecelia Valentine were sat on one side of the booth of Patty's diner, Inessa Bryant, Marlene Mason and Inaya Bryant sat opposite them. The five surgeons and one firefighter were having a quick dinner before they started drinking, planning to meet Delilah, Olivia's sister, and her BAU team friends when they'd been to a few bars of their own.

"Can we not talk about a bear clawing out a man's eye while I'm eating my bacon?" Inaya said, shoving a piece of bacon in her mouth with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, Jace. No work talk when we're drinking," Marlene said, taking a bite of her pancakes.

"We're eating," Jace said.

"Smart ass," Inessa kicked Jace's leg under the table, Jace yelping in shock.

"Dad said we aren't allowed to get violent, guys," Inaya said, chewing on her bacon as she watched Jace reach across the table to slap their sister.

"Dad isn't here," Jace said, slapping Inessa's arm.

"It becomes clearer every day why Naya is the favourite child," Cecelia said, her Italian accent ringing loud and clear through her words.

"No, Mar's the favourite child, and she isn't even my dad's kid," Naya said. Marlene laughed, shrugging her shoulders.

"Your dad is my wingman. We're besties," Marlene said.

"It's sad that your best friend is my fifty five year old father," Jace said, dodging a kick from Inessa.

"Will you two pack it in?" Liv laughed, kicking them both under the table. "We're grown ups, surgeons, and you're being embarrassing."

"You've literally just kicked us," Jace said.

"I'm older than you. Fuck off," Liv said.

"What time are we meeting Delilah, Olivia?" Cecelia asked.

"Uh, whenever. They were meeting for, like, eight? I'm not sure. But it's eight, now, so, we can go to a bar and then go and meet her," Liv said.

"I've missed Lilah. It's been forever since I've seen her," Marlene said.

"Do not hit on my sister. I know she has a thing for blondes, but she's already got this huge thing for her best friend and it's messy and she's gonna spiral and, well, it's not a good idea," Liv said.

"Which friend? She has no friends," Naya smirked.

"You have no friends," Jace said.

"I have friends," Naya frowned.

"It's the one who phoned her when we were away, right? JJ?" Inessa asked.

"Yeah," Liv said. "It's literally torture watching her fall more in love with that girl every day. I caught them dancing in the hallway under the stars the other day. They didn't even notice me. And, I swear, it sounded so gay, and JJ still insists she's straight," Liv rolled her eyes.
