Thanks for reviewing and waiting for so long. I do have to admit I suck at giving details

1960 Airport

John wearing a basic overalls,dress shoes and a fedora hat stepped of the old taxi cab that had peeling yellow paint and looked at the driver a young teenager no more than 16.

“Okay that'll be 26.59.” said the young driver

John reached into his wallet (the very same he got when he mugged a person)and pulled out 30

“Keep the change.” said John handing the money to the young man

“Thanks!”

“No problem” John said while looking at the name tag the driver was wearing(yes he was wearing a name tag) “Sam”

As the taxi driver pulled out heading for the highway John looked at the airport terminal knowing this would probably be the last time he would be on American soil since he was going to a different Continent to start a new life.

John stepped through the doors of the terminal going through baggage check due to the fact that he had no baggage except his plane ticket and his money in his wallet

When he went to the waiting area it was pretty empty except for a few people going on the same flight as John.

As John sat on the leather seats with marks in it waiting for the airport intercom to announce his flight boarding he noticed a middle-aged man sitting in the airport bar and feeling a little lonely decided to go and see if he could make a new friend.

As he went towards the bar John could see the man more clearly he had an above average muscular build wearing worn shoes that looked a little old perhaps from the 1920's and also wearing a white sweater.

“Hello” John said cheerfully to the stranger

“Hello to you too” Said the man a little glum

“What's with the sadness” John said not really concerned but bored

“Don't know” said the man emotionless

“Well if there's no reason then there's no reason for you to be sad now is there” said John

“Yeah I guess so!” the man said smirking a little

“Tell you what I buy us drinks and you get cheery, deal?” John said happily

“Sure why not” said the man now fully smiling

“Bartender give me and my...friend here two beers!” said John

“How many?” the airport bartender said

“Enough so that we can be happy but not enough to make us drunk.” said John

“So...2 for each of you.”

“Sure” John and the man said at the same time

Half-way through their 2nd beer John asked the man for his name

“Sure as long you ask for my phone number next!” The man said while laughing

“You can call me Jack” Jack said

“Will since I'm going to have ask for your phone number next” John said while giggling “What's your last name?”

Jack then looked at the table frowning a little

“You know...I Forgot” looking at John

“wha?”

John looked at the beer bottles wondering if the bartender had done anything to the beverage to intensify it's potency until suddenly the intercom had turned on and said

Flight 221b now leaving in 10 minutes all passengers please board

John temporarily forgot the dilemma on hand then reached into his pocket to his wallet when suddenly Jack said

“Wait I'll pay!”

“No I got it.” John said

“No No I insist.” Jack reaching into his wallet

“Na I can handle it.” John said while pulling out some dollar bills

“I won't be able to handle the guilt of you having to pay the bill!” Jack said while pulling out some dollar bills

“Yeah well I won't be able to handle the damage to my pride!” John said a little annoyed

“Oh so you can't handle damage to your pride huh? Well how about damage to your face?!” Jack said angrily

“Oh you want to brawl it out?!” Jack said while putting his hat on the table

“Yeah sure why not!? A gentleman bout to see who handles the bill!” Jack said while rolling over his sleeves

It actually did seem like they were going to fight until the intercom then said

Flight 221b leaving in 6 minutes all passengers immediately board now.

Jack and John looked at each other and burst out laughing thinking how silly they were fighting over a bill then said simultaneously

“I pay half you pay half”

after that matter was taking over they headed for their flight and found out they were sitting next to each other so they decided to spin some imaginative story's to keep them busy during the flight.

K sorry for the long wait. A cookie to anyone who can find the sherlock reference. Sorry if the bill “Almost fight” scene seems like a ripoff of Family Guy, after finishing that section of the chapter I decided to watch some online Family Guy episodes and remembered the “Chicken Bill Fight” but I wanted a little comedy since this is turning a little dull.

Next chapter: An inconvenient Deus Ex Machina
