"Uh oh, Looks like Krampus is here to take the naughty children," Mike says jokingly as John approached. He wasn't sure if John heard him over the music, but Curly, Lillith, Beast, and Alexandrea all heard him, and the chuckle. Curly, who looked like she was 3 or 4 years younger than the rest of the group and was easily a head or three shorter than the rest, turns to John as he nears the group and shouts. "Eat me! Eat me!" John ignores her and her usual ruckus and patted her head. "What are you telling them I do now Mike?" John asks chuckling.
"Nothing too terrible, Just the usual human trafficking." Mike teases more. John and the others chuckled. "Damnit man, I told you not to spill my guts about that. Anyways..." John says, originally flowing with the joke, then turning more serious. "This is our second to last night where we are going to be able to meet up like this. I don't want to spend it in this noisy and crowded bar. Let's go back to the HQ and say our goodbyes to our childhoods." The group seemed to agree with that idea.
'I hope I don't pussy out and start crying over this. This is going to suck tonight.' Mike thought to himself as he looked at his companions for the last 4 years of his life.
