He was doing bills and paperwork again. It never ended. Never. It was currently daytime and the prep work for opening was underway: cleaning, washing, checking, drying, paperwork, soundchecks, etc.<br/><br/>He leaned back in his chair and rubbed the bridge of his nose, pushing his glasses up.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Knock, knock.</span><br/><br/>"<span style="color: #00FF00">Enter.</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #BF0000">Yo, boss-man. We ran out of some of the more popular liquor can I get the checkbook to go get a few bottles each?</span>"<br/><br/>He leaned forward and riffled through his top left drawer for the checkbook, before tossing it to Reno. "<span style="color: #00FF00">Here. And take Rude so you don't buy the whole store.</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #BF0000">Aye, aye! Sir!</span>" Reno left, closing the door behind him while shouting, "<span style="color: #BF0000">Hey Rude! Buddy! We got a mission!</span>" Reno's voice faded as he got farther away.<br/><br/>He sighed and leaned back in his chair again, his eyes closed.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #00FF00">Might as well get some shut eye before opening.</span></span>He took his glasses off and placed them on his desk as he got up. Then he laid down on his couch and fell asleep immediately.<br/>_________________<br/>[ Disclaimer: I do not own Reno or Rude. They are just so amazing and muse said GO.]
