Tristan watched as Markus disappeared into his house, settling back in the passenger seat of James’s car. The whole night had been beyond strange, but one little detail seemed to be bothering him more than any others.

Tristan: "Did you see her wrist?"
James: "Yeah, I did."
Tristan: “Funny she didn’t mention the kidnapper having an attack cat.”
James: “Funny indeed.”
Tristan: "What are we going to do?"
James: "I'm not sure. Let's play it by ear for a while. For now, how about some beer?"

Tristan: “Beer would be very welcomed, but not until we get out of these getups.”
James: “Are you kidding? These are practically women magnets! Chicks dig a guy in uniform.”
Tristan: “Seriously, how do you keep getting dates?”
James: “Probably pheromones. Speaking of, did you ever get around to asking Emily out to dinner?”
Tristan: “No, it really didn’t seem appropriate given the circumstances.”
James: “Oh well, maybe some other time. Tonight, we can drown your sorrows in several pints of the richest stout we can find.”
The ghost of a smile tugged quickly at the corners of Tristan’s mouth.

Tristan: “Drive on, old friend.”
