John waited outside the bar for a bit while on his phone, around 8pm, izan finally finished cleaning and closed the bar, then he turned to John
«welp, shall we go?»
John looked up from his phone and smiled
«sure! Let's go. What restaurant were you thinking of going to?»
«oh, I'm not sure... how about a pizza?»
«sure thing»
John got up and walked beside Izan towards the closest pizzeria.
They arrived at a pizza place and sat inside, then Ian got an idea
«so, John...tell me a bit about yourself.»
He said as he leaned forward on the table, John got a little shy, but tried his best to make himself sound interesting.
«oh, you know... I'm a policeman, so I'm always around criminals and stuff...»
He said, even though he had been a cop for just about a few weeks and haven't arrested anyone yet.
«and... well, I have a dog! His name is buddy, he's a bully breed»
John said proudly
«what about you? Do you have any pets?»
Izan nodded
«yeah, I have a black cat, Her name is ombra.»
«ooh? A black cat? I bar she's really pretty! Does she has long or short fur?»
«she has long fur, but not too much.. almost medium.»
«sounds like a pretty cat... Do you have any pictures of her I could see?»
John asked as he leaned forward
«of course»
Izan grabbed his phone from his pocket and started searching through his gallery before turning the phone towards John
«here!»
John leaned forward again and looked at the photo, It surely was a pretty cat.
"Oh! So cute!"
«yeah, she is.»
As Izan put the phone away a waiter came by and took their orders.
They ordered two Margheritas, and once the order arrived they started eating.
Izan looked up towards John
«this pizza place is pretty good, huh?»
John nodded
«yeah, it true, it's not bad»
They kept eating in silence until it became awkward.
So John decided to speak
«so... How do you like your work as a bartender?»
«oh, it's fine... nothing too crazy, obviously... Unlike you I guess, being a cop must be pretty crazy, huh?»
John chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck slightly
«yeah, I suppose..I-i mean, I don't suppose, it's literally my job..»
Izan chuckles
«yeah, true"
«well...oh! I have something interesting to share! I'm currently working with some other coworkers on finding out the identity of a mysterious hitman!"
John said proudly.
Izan replied with interest
«oh really? That's cool, does this 'mysterious individual' have a name?»
«well, we don't know it's real identity yet...but the other cops refer to him as 'the velvet dagger'.»
«ooh, interesting, really mysterious sounding.»
Izan chuckled, then John nodded
«yeah, true, I guess that's why they chosed that name»
They kept eating until they were almost finished, so John decided to ask a question
«so...what do you wanna like... Have a coffee or something after this?»
«well, it's kinda late, so I actually think I'll go home after this.»
Izan explained
«heh.. yeah, it's fair.»
They finished eating and they Shar wthe bill before getting up and heading outside.
Izan looked around
"Chilly night, eh?»
John nodded
«yeah...well..I guess I'll go now... Goodnight»
«yeah, It's was nice dinning with you, goodnight»
Izan waved and started walking away, John waved as well and stared at Ian walking for a bit before turning around and walking away.
