Jake laughed at Shelby’s strut and clapped his hands, “Dude, the chicks of Nawlins don’t stand a chance with us in town!” He saw out of the corner of his eyes that he and Shelby had already drawn a few looks.
“Cool!”, Jake answered, happy that his companion was so easily pleased, “What do you say we smoke it after our raging is over with…you know, to mellow out?”
Things seemed to be pretty well under way, when they entered The Hanger, “Hey, Joe!”, Jake did a fancy little handshake with the bouncer at the door, “This is my bud, Shelby”, he introduced Shelby to the big man and moved on inside the crowded, neon lit club.
Walking around to the backside of the bar, Jake greeted the young bartender there, “Yo, Remy, dude!”, he called, with a smile. “Jake-boy! What can I get you?”, the bartender greeted. “I’ll just have a beer and take care of my man, Shelby here…run a tab, okay?”
The bartender handed the boys their drinks in paper cups and Jake moved away from the bar, so as not to draw attention. As long as you didn’t cause trouble, the cops never went out of their way to look for underage drinkers or to check I.D.s. Heading for a table in the back, a hot blonde was giving Shelby the eye and Jake mumbled, “Damn, first blood!”
