  Lurch stood there staring at the two men for about 30 seconds. He then motioned for one of his bouncers to remove them from the premises. A big burly man as big as a house came and stood in between them. The men shrugged and walked towards to exit. Near the door they saw Lurch standing near an open door leading somewhere off to the side. Whatever the signal was Gates had no idea, but as they appraoched the door the bouncer steered both men in through the door and down a hallway. The other man stiffened but Gates told him to relax. The entered another door and in the middle of the room stood a desk with Lurch seated behind it. The bouncer entered behind. That will be all Steer..said Lurch, The bouncer turned around and walked out, closing the door behind him. Well its obvious now that you pair are acquainted. Lurch gained his feet, and roared at Gates..Whats the big idea coming into my establishment and starting a bar brawl...Cop or not you got some nerve mister...The bigman just looked bewildered...and said Cop? I'm no cop...He's referring to me Bubba, said Gates...the big fellow Bubba just blew air through his teeth..a cop now? Yep...since i left...Spose i shoulda kept in touch...but who wants to know cops right. Gates turned to Lurch...look take it easy Lurch..No harm done..This chap and I served together, back in the day..its our way of greeting each other..we've done this around the world...Yeah well not here ya don't..i got thelocals breathin down my neck just itchin to get this place shut down..Apparently its too far outa town and its a problem as the lazy louts don't like travelling this far out without a donuts supply and thermos full of coffee...Lurch couldn't contain himself he smiled at his own mirth and sat down..

  Gates said, Bubba this is lurch the owner...Lurch reached up and shook hands with Bubba...So bubba you wanna go back to your bro's no problem...but no more howdies like this one ok..K no problem bud...Bubba winked at Gates and left.

  After he had gone Lurch looked at Gates, So what brings you to my place Gates? Your missus!...what! settle down she said she needed to do some stuff and shower n shit...so i came here to make sure you came back at 7...my missus is there getting to know her...problem?

  Lurch couldn't think of any...although he was still unsure of this mans motives...but for now he seemed reasonable enough so he'd play along..besides which he had security cameras everywhere within the bar...including his office...If anything he had enough to have Gates brought up on charges should he require them...instigating a bar brawl isn't such a big thing unless you are a cop of course...Feel like a beer Gates...? Sure...Lurch picked up the phone and pressed a number...2 handles of draught thanks Sheil...He hung up....So Gates..tell me about your friend...and what branch were you in? Do you think you'll have a problem leaving, now he knows your a cop?....Gates replied...nah he owes me bigtime saved his life more than once...Long range recon...You....Pilot....oh...fixed? Nah rotary...arh a hero....lurch laughed...doubt it ...Guns....oh like to blow stuff up do ya? Pretty much...but that was then this is now...Officer? Nah Sgt...you? Nah warrant...too an outsider many would have been lost..but both men knew exactly what was being said. Gates had been a squad leader in a long range reconaissance team, and Lurch a warrant officer pilot, flying helicopter gunships. The field of battle didn't much matter as all thearters are bad.

  The beers came and the two men swapped stories about their different times. Culminating when Gates looked at his watch.. 7.20...man am I gunna be in it...what said Lurch...Oh don't worry Stevie is used to this...7 means 8...ish and he chuckled. Hope you wife drinks wine Gates..Stevie guzzles it...She can hold her own there...and the two laughed loudly.
