Bryce and Peter ended up hanging around at his place playing video games until it was time to go to the restaurant that would kick off the bachelor party. He had been invited to stay there so he didn't waste money on a hotel room and no number of objections about not wanting to be a bother would change his friend's mind. He had no choice but to accept.
They headed to a rowdy barbecue restaurant with a Florida Marlins baseball game playing on several different TVs and met with a group of about fifteen other men. Several tables had to be pushed together to fit them all.
"Hey, Pete! Who's your friend?" one of them asked.
He was a tall, well-muscled man with medium brown hair, a wide nose, and the blue eyes that seemed to run in the Mitchell family. Bryce was willing to bet he was one of Peter's many siblings.
