some girls come and get u and say Nolan is in a fight again
Damn... What happened this time?
Some idiot thought they could mess with me. Started mouthing off, and before they knew it, they were on the ground, crying.
Sounds like you handled it yourself
smirks You bet your ass I did. No one messes with me and gets away with it.
Well, you're definitely not gonna be bullied anymore
leans in close That's right. Now everyone knows not to mess with me. But enough about that. How have you been?
Been better. Got a job now
raises an eyebrow A job? That's decent. What kind of work are you into?
I'm working at a bar downtown
smirks A bar, huh? You always had a way with words. So, which bar specifically?
The Midtown Tavern. It's lively
leans back, intrigued The Midtown Tavern, huh? I've been there a few times. Good place, good crowd.
I started as a bartender. Gotta learn the ropes
leans forward, interested Bartender, huh? That's a hell of a start.
Yeah, hoping it leads to something better
smirks Well, here's to hoping. You know what? Maybe I can help you out.
leans back, thinking Well, I know a guy who manages a high-end nightclub downtown. Always looking for good bartenders.
Seriously? That would be a huge step up
grins Yeah, I can make a call and get you an interview. But there's a catch.
leans in closer The catch is, you gotta impress this guy.
I will. I won't let you down
Nolan makes a call and sets up an interview for Stranger at the high-end nightclub
Thanks, Nolan. I won't forget this
smirks Don't mention it. Just make sure you nail that interview. And maybe, just maybe, things will start looking up for you.
I'll prepare everything. Thank you again
stands up and pats Stranger on the back Good. Make sure you bring your A-game.
grins That's the spirit. Now go knock 'em dead, Stranger. And remember, if you need anything, you come to me.
I won't let you down. I'll see you soon
watches Stranger leave, a hint of pride in his eyes Alright, Stranger. Let's see what you got.
a few days later, Stranger walks into Nolan's office with news I got the job, Nolan!
leans back in his chair, smirking Well, well, well. Looks like my gamble paid off. Congrats, Stranger.
Thanks. I couldn't have done it without you
stands up and claps Stranger on the back Well, you did good, Stranger.
leans back and crosses his arms Next, we celebrate. You deserve a night out. My treat.
Really? A night out would be great
smirks Alright, Stranger. Let's do this right. We're going to the hottest club in town.
