Caritas - Friday evening [Open]

"Give me a glass of water," Jolee said when he walked into the bar tonight. Tino produced the glass and Jolee dropped some goldfish into it. "It was an interesting trip over here," Jolee explained.

I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun

Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own

Alex needed a drink. Alex had needed a drink before she left her apartment. Being chased by a motherfucking alligator through the streets of town? That meant she needed several drinks.

"What ... what the hell is ..."

First, it seemed, Alex was going to need to stand in front of the bar and have a little meltdown.

"You sound like you might want a drink," Jolee said.

"There's an alligator," Alex said. "In the streets. It chased me. It was spitting out ... I don't know what they were. I didn't look. I was too busy running for my life in terror."

After a beat, she realized she hadn't addressed his question.

"... Please?" she said, sinking onto a barstool.

"Something hard, I assume?" Jolee asked, grabbing the fish glass and putting it under the bar and out of sight.

"I would drink antifreeze right now if I had to," Alex said, nodding. "I knew New York was crazy, but I can honestly say I've never been attacked by an alligator before. Does anyone know why there's an alligator roaming the streets of town? Is there a zoo on this island and I missed it?"

"It probably got lost from the rest of the group," Jolee said, getting a bottle of scotch for Alex. "They've been all over the place today."

"... Right," Alex said, trying to sound more cheerful than she felt. "The ... rest of the crazed alligators. So the police have been notified, and ... someone is going to capture them before anybody loses their limbs, and ... right."

Scotch was good. She downed most of the glass in one gulp. It had a nice, reassuring burn to it.

"Probably. Or they'll just be on their way by the end of the night. Or, possibly, not until Monday," Jolee said. "You can never be sure when something starts on a Friday."

Alex stared at the doors again, mentally mapping out the walk back to her apartment.

"Okay," she said. "If one of them comes in here, just ... let him eat me. I quit."

"It couldn't if it wanted to," Jolee said. "There's a spell on the bar that prevents violence from taking place, so you'd have the pleasure of being almost eaten."

But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock

While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

Yeah, it's obvious. I don't care!
