After a long walk on the beach with Lola, Kathy has picked up Snoops and is heading for the Phoenix. Being just a tad late she speeds over the parking lot looking for a space close to the restaurant. Then she grabs Snoops' leash and jogs the rest of the way.

She can see Gene already standing in the front of the building and is just about to raise her arm to wave, when she watches him take a bottle out of his coat and take a long draft.

Ooouuuhhh! That ...that..idiot.

Angrily she storms towards him.

"What on earth are you doing? Oh you can't be seriously drinking whatever this is! Don't you know that it's so bad to have alcohol while taking medicine? You must not do that! Are you out of your mind you...you...stubborn man! This could get you into a hospital!"

While Kathy lets him have a piece of her mind, not even listening to him, Snoops sniffles the man's feet, wags her tail and barks happily once.

"Shush Snoops. So Mr. Hunt, do you really think it's a good idea to drink...what? What did you just say? You didn't mix the pain killers and the drink?"

Just when Gene tries to open his mouth she starts again, "well that is one good thing. But it doesn't make it much better! You are supposed to take the pills. And you are not supposed to drink at ten o'clock in the morning. And no I'm not your mother or your wife or your boss, but I will still tell you when I think something is not good for you!"

She huffs and wipes some strands of hair out of her face and pulls Snoops back, who is trying to jump up on Gene's legs to lick his hand. Her eyes are shooting daggers at the man in front of her. How could someone be so...so...irritatingly unreasonable. At least he wears his arm in the sling today.

"So, how is your arm? Can we go in and have breakfast now? Breakfast Mr. Tough-Cop, coffee or tea not whiskey!"

Kathy sighs. Immediatelly she feels sorry for him. She chastises him, "see that's why you should take your meds and not the liquid kind either."

But she's smiling while she says it and she isn't yelling anymore. "Breakfast first, then a short walk with Snoops and then a massage? That okay with you? But the dog can wait, hes already done his ...uhm business anyway. I can give you the massage first and then take him and Buck, my friend's dog down to the beach. Unless you want to come? The fresh air might be good for your headache, along with some food. This place has a little room upstairs, maybe we could use it for the massage. I don't think someone lives there these days. I think Paul would be okay with it and as long as the owner Mr. Skinner isn't here...

They enter the Bar and Kathy waves to Paul. "Morning. How are you doing? Can we have breakfast?"

"And the best way to give you a coronary before you get too old." Kathy smirks.

"And why do you have a hangover anyway,"she grouses at him, "you know you weren't supposed to drink!"

"Oy Red, don't start again. I 'eard you the first time. Loud and clear. And as I rememer you've done a sodding stupid thing yerself."

Kathy pokes her tongue out at him and gives him a mock growl that makes Snoops jump up under the table and look around.

She laughs. Over breakfast she has told him a little more of Clarity's and her little adventure. Nothing about the book, but pretty much everything else.
"Alright, alright. I'll stop." With a warning she adds, "For now."

"So - walk on the beach first or massage first?"

"A smoke first."

Rolling her eyes she digs in her bag for her wallet. When she pulls it out Gene waves in the direction of her hands, "I'll get it."

"Really? Well okay. Thank you. I guess that is the least you can do for behaving so unreasonable." She gives him another cheeky grin.

"Let's walk the dogs first. I have to talk to you anyway. Found out some things...not too much though."

*continued in Gene's thread*

"It already smells so good in here." Kathy peeks at the plates of some people eating on a table nearby. She waves to Clarity and Paul and John gives them a nod.

"Oh, oh! Look, Dino's here! I haven't seen him in ages! It was his birthday you know. Can you get us a table while I say hi to him? I'll get him to sit with us for a bit. Here, take the dog."

John takes the leash, "I thought you are hungry?"

"I am, just want to say happy birthday and maybe we can invite him for a drink. Come on, it''ll be fun." She nudges his hip with hers. "We can show him Princess and watch his face while we tell him it's Bud's doggie."

Kathy makes her way over to the bar where Dino sits. "Hey Sexy, I didn't know you were back! How are you! Happy belated birthday! You'll get a very long an good massage for free, just call me. And I know how hungry you always are afterwards," she winks, "so you'll get a special birthday cake that I'll bake for you. You can make a wish what kind you want."



She gives him a kiss on every cheek and whispers in his ear, "what's wrong with those two over there? Ann looks likes she wants to strangle Frankie? What's up?"

Dino grins, "not sure yet, but they've almost been at each others throats. Ann is mad as hell."

"Uh oh. I wonder why. I haven't seen Frankie for so long either. Hey, want to sit with us for a while? John wants to invite you for a drink and we can..."

She is interrupted by loud yapping. Over at the booth he's found for them, John struggles with Princess who is pulling on her leash, barking and whining loudly, not listening to him, while tries to pull her back underneath the table.

"Ooops, now what? Excuse me for a second, that's Bud's dog. Did you know he's had an accident and is in the hospital. We're taking care of his dog until he gets back home. She is quite a handfull... Let me go and see what's wrong now. Come and join us in a bit if you want to."
