Well he'd been wrong. Next up was another regular, but his job schedule was erratic, so he was in at seemingly random times. The weird thing though, was that Luke had never seen Julian at the bar at this time before. And he'd been nursing one beer all night. Usually he put down at least six. So Luke went over.<strong>"Julian."</strong>The not nearly drunk man looked up from his probably flat beer and gave Luke the barest hint of a nod. "Hey, Luke. I figured you'd eventually ask what was wrong. Wellp...I lost my job yesterday. Downsizing or some bullshit like that, but I guarantee my boss's boss gets a bonus this year now that me and some others are out of a job."<br/><br/>Luke creased his brow and leaned back.<strong>"Dammit, man. Uhhh, don't worry. You've got your savings to live on for a while. And I can ask around, see if I can get you on somewhere. Gimme a few days. Oh,"</strong>he paused as he stood up, and put a thick hand on Julian's shoulder.<strong>"Buy more beer, asshole. Your alcoholism is what lets me get that bread I like from Whole Foods."</strong>"Bald asshole," Julian snickered before twisting his wrist to say he did indeed want another beer now.<br/><br/>Looking up from the man finally, Luke saw two beautiful, familiar faces. He didn't quite know how to react to seeing Misty and Jessica, so he kept his expression calm and neutral for the moment while walking behind the bar. He heard their order, and got a clean glass to pour the second glass while Roy handled the first. Of course Roy made sure Misty got the cup he poured. He was silent when he walked over, and only after he placed Jess's drink in front of her did he lean forward on the bar and look back and forth between them. A small smile started to stretch across his features.<strong>"Evenin', ladies. This is a surprise. A pleasant one though."</strong><br/><br/>It really was nice to see them. But seeing Jessica still felt strange. He wasn't sure how he felt. But that feeling would never go away if they continued to not talk.<strong>"And what's this I hear 'bout a dealer problem?"</strong>If they were here for info, it would hardly be a surprise. It made a lot more sense than them stopping by just to catch up and gossip. Besides, everybody knew Luke Cage always had his ear to the streets. If he wasn't such a stand up guy, having all the connections he did would make him look miiiiighty suspicious. While waiting for one of them to answer, he poured himself some whiskey and set a joint on the bar.
