"You weren't there, it smelt worse than Riley's breath..." He continued to complain about his latest mission. it sounded terrible, traversing through sewers, but poking fun at him was too fun
"No need to take it out on the dog Hesh," i poured the dry dog food into the metal bowl, Riley immediately scampering up like he'd been starved for weeks. Despite this not being my responsibility at all, i enjoyed the job. It felt good to give the hound a well deserved dinner. Hesh was leaning against a counter, about three steps behind me watching me do his job. As much as i teased the man, he sure did know how to get me to do his chores.
"Its an example, also Riley doesn't even understand what i'm saying," he sighed, a little chuckle hidden in it.
"He definitely doesn't understand how mean you are to him," i peered behind me, placing the bag down and walking back to him.

"So are we going or what? The boys are all waiting at the bar" i grabbed my jacket, waiting for his answer. I'd only come here so we could walk there together, if i'd have known i'd end up having to feed his dog i'd have come earlier.
"Oh yeah, wait a sec-" he jogged to his room, taking off his shirt as he did so. i averted my gaze, a little flustered. I liked him, and i hated to admit it to myself. We'd known each other since we were kids, and it felt kind of wrong to like him in a different way - but it wouldn't go away. maybe it was the way he'd smile or the way he'd make sure i was okay after every mission that had me going mad, but it wouldn't stop. i loved every part and aspect of him but it's a thing best hidden.

He came back in with a fresh t-shirt and the strong fragrance of his cologne. He gave Riley a few pats before walking up to me and the door, opening it and ushering me out before the dog could think about running.
"You really know how to keep a lady waiting," i joked, leaning against a wall as he locked his door.
"Like you care, i bet you were staring at Riley the whole time," he joked back, shoving his keys into his pocket as he started to walk towards the exit. i followed beside him.

When we finally got into the bar, we were waved at by two hands, Elias' and Merrick's. we sat at their circular table, Hesh between Logan and Merrick, me between Elias and Keegan.
"What took you two so long?" Merrick raised an eyebrow, almost suggestively
"I had to feed Riley while he complained about the sewers," i chuckled, embarrassing the brunette slightly
"Ah, they were really disgusting though," Elias sympathised
"You got lucky with that wound, kid," Keegan spoke up, taking a sip of whatever was in his glass. A bullet had skimmed my leg, not hurting me badly but Hesh had insisted that i was put out of action for the mission. My saving grace, apparently.
"I guess so," i grinned, nodding as a thank you to someone putting down a drink for me.

We chatted quite a lot, discussing the sewers, what they had found, the success and the downside of it being in the sewers. We drank a lot too, i was starting to notice almost everyone was slurring their words a little, some a little more than others.
"Event announcement! A beer pong game has been set up for those who may dare to play!" the speakers in the building echoed slightly. Merrick and Elias perked up a little, immediately standing up.
"We have to play this. back in the day, i was a master at this," Elias spoke excitedly yet competitively. Everyone agreed, getting up and leaving their empty glasses.

No one else came up to play, either because they didn't want to or our group had scared them away, but at least we didn't have to play with strangers.
"okay- teams are... Me, Merrick and Keegan vs you three," Elias pointed at his two sons and me. He'd decided to do it old vs young, very unfair
"But you all probably have more experience-" i complained, only to be cut off
"Your problem," he raised his eyebrows and grinned. he really was getting competitive.
"my rules for this game is that each team has one go and then it's passed to the next team. even if you get a cup it still goes to the next team. losers have to answer truthfully to questions given by the winners," he put his thumbs up, a way to say he was done
