Scott laughs.

"Yeah. I was there."

Scott lights another cigarette.

"I can't say. We need to make our minds up first."

Jack Straw walks into the Dirty Bastard. He goes to the bar and orders three beers and a coke. He picks the four of them up and goes over to a table, waiting for the rest of his friends to arrive. The four of them hadn't been out together in a long time, it would be nice to catch up!

Ollie King and Isaac Thompson walk into the Dirty Bastard together, they walk towards the bar before Isaac spots Jack.

"Jack! How're you doing?!" He walks towards the table past Emerald and gives Jack a hug as he gets up. Ollie follows him over and gives him a hug too.

"Yeah i'm great guys, how're you?" Jack replies, suddenly beaming. "It's been a long time!"

Both of the other two smile too, "Yeah we're good, and it really has been hasn't it! I've not seen you for months, and the last time i saw Freddie - well i can't even remember!!" Ollie has a quick look around, see's Emerald and smiles at her quickly before continuing to look for Freddie. He turns back to Jack and asks, "So when's the bastard due to arrive?"

Jack shrugs his shoulders, "Who the hell knows!! That guy is gonna turn up late to his own funeral!!!" The three of them laugh as they all sit down and take a drink.

The three boys are catching up as Emerald walks past. She catches Ollie's eye again and he points her out to the boys. "Well have a look at that guys, doesn't she have a nice arse!!"

The three of them laugh at him, "Dude you're married!!" Jack laughs at him.

He laughs back, "Not for me!! Isaac mate, go and say hello! I need another drink anyway, so it's your round!!"

Jack and Ollie tease him until he decides he'll do it. He gets up and walks up to the bar. "Hey there, i'm Isaac. What's your name?" He smiles at Emerald and signals to the bartender that he will pay for her drink as well as another round for his table.

While Isaac is up at the bar, Freddie finally arrives. He sees Isaac and the bar talking to a girl and laughs loudly! The other two see him and call him over, both hugging him in welcome. "What the fuck is fucknuts doing up there talking to a girl like her?!" he laughs as he sits down and takes a long sip of his now warm beer.

"Well we figured he probably hasn't been seeing anyone for a while.... He still needs to cut his hair..." Jack laughs with the other two.

He smiles, "it's fine, i want to buy it for you. I don't need all this money anyway, so why shouldn't i buy a lovely lady like yourself a drink?"

He looks over at the other three who are all having a laugh and a joke together - probably about him, that's how it always was when they were touring, or recording, or anything come to think of it...

"No they didn't make me, i wanted to, they just encouraged me," he laughs,

He blushes slightly, "Thank you, You're not so bad yourself!" He laughs, "Do you want to come over and meet my friends? We used to be a fairly successful band a few years ago. Two not bad albums, and some global success - nothing serious though," he laughs again.

Isaac smiles, he walks over to the guys and says, "Freddie, nice to see you again!"

"Likewise," The two exchange quick smiles but the attention of everybody in the group is focused towards the girl following Isaac over, "So who is your new friend Isaac?"

He smiles, "This is Emerald," he gestures for her to sit, "Emerald, this is Jack, Ollie and Freddie"

Isaac sits down, he is starting to get slightly uncomfortable with how forward she is being. "So Emerald, What is it that you do?"

Isaac looks interested, "Oh really? Anything we might have heard? We're all in our 20s"
