So far so good no one recognized us, or at least they acted as if they didn’t recognize us. I went to the bar and a young girl of about nineteen was working behind it, she had the right personality for her job, all bright and cheery like but a look of incredible naivety in her eyes. Kind of reminded me of Pegasus. “What can I get for you two tonight?” I took a quick look at what they had to offer, a few kinds of beer and an entire wall of hard liquor, I thought about ordering a something a little stronger but decided that since I was driving I had better just stick to a few beers. “Just a beer for me, Corona please.” She reached into a little refrigerator behind the bar and came up with an ice cold Corona, “Would you like a glass with that?” I waved the offer off, “No thanks, I’ll just stick with the bottle.” She giggled and turned to Pegasus, “Just a Coke please, I don’t drink.” I stared at him incuriously, “Cmon Pegs, you’re the one that invited me out to drink and you don’t even drink, man up. At least put a shot of Jack in that coke. He shrugged and turned to face me, “Sorry Loki, I just don’t drink, goes against what I was taught.” I shrugged back at him, “To each his own I suppose, but you got to loosen up man, your going to go gray by thirty if you don’t.”
We talked about things past in PCW, about the Pain of Glass match, about him and Angelica, about me and Whisper. “Those were good times, in fact Pegasus, if we ever have the chance, I wouldn’t mind having a Pain of Glass rematch against you sometime.” Pegasus agreed whole heartedly, “Sounds great, if we can get PCW to sign off on it then we’ll be in business.” We talked some more, this time leaving PCW out of the loop, he told me about his adopted mother Agatha and how she died, and likewise I told him about how my two little brothers had died. It was funny that we had so much in common seeing as how at one point we were bitter rivals. I felt a pressure in my stomach and excused myself to go to the bathroom. I stood at the far urinal reading the scrolling text they had on the flat panel monitors above the toilet. “Club Energy: The most electrifying place in town” followed by a bunch of advertisements, probably for companies and products that sponsored the club. I was startled out of my bathroom revelry by a loud crash from outside. I zipped up and quickly washed up before heading out the door. Carnage wasn’t exactly an accurate description of what was going on but one thing was for sure, all hell was about to break lose.
There was a broken mirror and several broken liquor bottles behind the bar and Pegasus was no where in sight. There was however a very big, very angry looking black man standing close to where Pegasus had been and he was cursing a blue streak that would have made a sailor blush. “How the fuck you like that you punk ass nigga. Teach yo country ass to show more respect to my bitch.” I heard a low groan from behind the bar that I could only surmise was my missing friend. “What the fuck you cracka ass motha fucka, you want some more bitch?” With a yell, Pegasus jumped up on the bar and jumped directly back into the air with a cross body block, only it didn’t quite work. The big guy caught Pegasus in mid air and began to squeeze. “Oh hell,” I muttered as I started sprinting for him. Without thinking I launched myself into a drop kick aimed at the back of his knees. He fell to the ground shrieking and dropping Pegasus to the ground. The big guy lay there on the ground practically crying, I helped Pegs to his feet, “You all right.” Pegasus shook his head then shouted a warning “LoKi!” I turned around only to be cracked over the head with one of the few bottles that wasn’t broken, mine. I crumpled to the ground and wrapped my arms around my head to protect it from the six or so guys that were now attempting to stomp my body through the floor. A kick to the stomach, a kick to the knee, a kick to the back of the head, so many kicks each one pissing me off even more.
Then Pegasus was there, throwing punches like I’d never seen him do, nearly taking out all six of them before someone slammed something into the back of his head. He dropped to one knee as I was rising to mine, even though I still had two guys trying to kill me. I dropped the first one with a forearm between the legs and the second one with a straight shot to the gut. I stood up and turned around just in time to grab a slender wrist that was holding a platform shoe of all things, this was the same person that had just dropped Pegasus, so those shoes must be heavy as hell. I knocked the shoe out of her hand and was picking her up to set her on the bar when the cops burst in “OK NOBODY FUCKING MOVE” Half an hour later both myself and Pegasus were sitting in county lock up. Pegasus just looked pissed, but I know I had a stupid grin on my face. I looked over at Peggy, “So did you have fun tonight?” He stared at me as if I had just killed Santa Clause, “Shut up LoKi, have you seen the fines that PCW is handing out for stuff like this. Malave is going to be so pissed. I grinned even broader, Ya, ya he is. So, I call top bunk.
