At the bar, the trio was drinking shots after shots, trying to drown away their memories of today.

Maybe it does seem that healthy and it's not, but in the moment everything seemed better.

Only after one hour and a half, they were all three of them drunk and barely capable of walking on a straight line. The bartender in charge refused to serve them anymore and only gave them water so they can sober up a little.

Bartender

Ok guys, that's enough, let me call you a cab.

Detective Alexia Bennett

What?!! Nooo!!!

We are f-fine! (She said almost falling off the chair)

Bartender

Do you want me to call someone for you then? (He asked calmly because he knows drunk people are going to pick a fight in no time if you aren't)

Detective Alexia Bennett

NO! I c-can do-o that my-myself!

Y-you guys are d-doing w-what?

Bartender

Do you guys need a cab is what she's asking...

Detective Alexia Bennett

T-they understood t-that!

N-no need to c-correct m-me like t-that, mister I k-know all!

Bartender

Ok. (He just goes and serve someone else)

Detective Maria Bennett

Detective Alexia Bennett

O-ok!

Detective Marcus Jones

Detective Alexia Bennett

G-great!

L-let me c-call s-someone.

(She her phone out of her pocket and dial a specific number)

Eleanor Kensington

Detective Alexia Bennett

Eleanor Kensington

Detective Alexia Bennett
