Last Call

"G-man." [Shakes shoulder.]

"What's the problem, baby?"

"We need to go back to the bar."
"No. We don't."
"Yeah, I think we do."

[Eyes narrowing.] "Why?"

"Remember when I went on the run?"

"Like I could forget."

"I'm not sure I was headed in the right direction."

"Could've told you that, Ace."

"You do tell me that, Cole. Every chance you get."

[Smug male smirk.]
"We have to go back, Cole."
"You've been watching too many episodes of 'Lost,' Lara."
"Humor me, G-man."

[Shakes head.] "We've gone too far, baby. Let's wrap it up. Don't you want to get your HEA?"

"Trust me."[Glides hand up forearm and over biceps.]
"Where have I heard that before?"

"My instincts are pretty good. Admit it."

[Capitulates.] "Still angling for a black and tan on the house?"
"Not tonight, Brannigan."

[Raises eyebrow.] "What then, Ace?"

"I think you'd better make it tequila. And keep 'em coming."
