Claire blushed a little.  "Okay," she said.  "I, uh, if hopefully someone comes back to fill their shift on time, I'll be f-free as a bird in no time!"  She laughed stupidly.  As if on cue, Melody burst through the door in somewhat of a fierce manner.  She eyed the young man who had passed out on the table, then noticed Jake talking to Claire.  She almost warned her; instead she said, "Hon, get me a beer here.  I know it's my job not to get drunk but I've had a rough night.  Claire nodded and momentarily took her eyes off Jake to oblige the catgirl.  Melody took it and sighed, taking a heavy swig.  "Just this one," she promised.  "I know I gotta get back to work in a bit."
