Is that a hint? He thought quietly to himself. ''Chad was his name eh? Mind if I ask you about him?''

She replied" No, fire away."

[Victor Steiner]

''Well what was he like? How did you meet him? That sort of thing'' he said, leaning forward taking interest.

Zak Steps in and walks fast as he always moves fast going directly to his table and throw himself at the chair and pause for some seconds without move closing his eyes as if he is trying to collect himself and his power back appears to be very exhausted and open his eyes and his usual calm smile are drown on his face and Jim hurry to the table with Zak's drink saying: Do you need anything else ? Zak smile at him and says no just another Gin tonic please, he says it and empty the glass fast and start to look around searching for Clark.

I'll tell him, why not she thought. "Well, I met Chad in 810, and well, at first he wasn't what I expected him to be. He had come from Liberty and well, I met him in the Leeds bar," she said, chuckling. "Back in those days, I frequented bars, looking for men. Though I was slightly on the shy side, I thought maybe I would meet someone. And well, I saw him sitting at a bar stool he looked kinda like one of those jocks, you know, the jerks. But he was cute. And he started talking to me, and immediately when he did, he lost the whole jerk demeanor," she said, then sighed. "It was strange, it was like he was only acting and looking like that to impress his friends, but when you talked to him, he let all of that go. He had blonde hair, blue eyes, and just a warm personality," she finished.

[Victor Steiner]

''Interesting.'' He said taking note, keeping his true thoughts buried under a mountain of questions. ''So then how did you two get together? as in, properly get together?'' he asked.

"Well, we really hit it off in the bar. He lived in a house in an upscale community not too far from the bar, and since I was drunk already, he took me there," she said, beginning to laugh. "My father was so furious when I came home that morning, 'Where the devil have you been?!!'," she stopped to chuckle a bit. "My father was always a strict one when it came down to boys, and said I couldn't date anyone till I was 18. I was 17 at the time, and, after telling my father about Chad, he became less mad. Eventually he let the two of us stay together, despite me being underage in his mind. He said Chad was a good influence on me. And I think he was, since he got me to start school again," she finished.

[Victor Steiner]

''Oh so you wern't at school when you met him? why not, if i can ask.''

*Clark, returning from a recent business trip to Cambridge, enters the bar. Still dressed in his meeting suit and looking tired from the journey, he approaches the bar and addresses the barman*

Ah, good day Jim. How's business?

*He laughs sarcastically as he already knows bar profits are down, he is in charge of accounts after all. Jim begrudgingly laughs back as Clark scans the room for Zak Conner...*

"There's my man." *Clark locks eyes on Zak sitting at a table* Bring my drink over to Mr Conner's table Jim my good man, one for the boss too
*Clark makes his way to the table to greet Zak, taking a seat as he extends his hand to shake his boss's hand he starts* "Good afternoon Mr Conner"

[ASimpleMan]

Oh no. He'll never forgive me, but I can't tell him about—ugh she thought. "I—I—uh, well, I would tell you, but, not here in the bar, I suppose," she concluded. Ugh that sounded dumb, but maybe he'll—never mind, she thought. She looked down in disapproval, then the look turned to dread.
