Crown and Coin

[JohnLenin]

Ike entered the bar scanning the people drinking and chatting at the tables - there seems to be only regulars here at the moment, nobody with QCRF badge - he observed. Nobody sat at the bar so he had free way to the bartender.

- Wanna drink something, pilot?

- Sure, a Dublin stout would be fine.

Sipping his drink he asked:
- I hoped to find someone of the QCRF here....

- Up for a change, pilot?

- Yep. Sort of...

- Well, it's already late afternoon, but I expect the first showing up at around 8 - you can wait here of course.

- Sure. Mind if I fetch my guitar and play some music here?

- Just go on, sit there in the back - pointed the bartender to a table - if someone who is in the hireing business of QCRF arrives I'll direct him or her to you.

- Fine, I'm back in a minute.

The audience was happy to get some live background music, not only the usual radio station. Some even recognised him from former visits to the canteen on BS Derby.
By 8pm the bar was already half full, not long later Ike saw the bartender talking to a couple of pilots and gesturing at his direction...
