"I'm not dealing with this. This job is too important to me..." Aurora stated as she went over to the phone. "She might be psycho enough to try and shoot this place up..." She added. Jessica scowled. Darren walked over and gently grabbed her arm. "Come on, Jessica.." "Ow! He's hurting me!" She snapped out. Aurora slammed the phone down. "He's barely touching you!" Aurora yelled. "Permission to throw her out?" She snapped at Darren. "Yes..." He mumbled. Aurora walked out from behind the bar and Darren took up bartender. "I'll show you real pain." Aurora growled, grabbed Jessica's arm and yanked her off the stool. Jessica stumbled slightly. Aurora threw her to start walking. Jessica, being a drama queen, let herself stumble more and threw herself into Duke. "Honestly?! Do you seriously have no respect?!" Aurora yelled at her. She quickly caught up to Jessica, gripped her shoulder and directed her towards the door. "Sorry, sir." Aurora called to Duke. Darren went over to Duke as well. "Sorry about that. She's a bit... upset she was let go today."

"I know what that's like. Just one of those things people need to get over." Duke said as he finished his beer and left some cash on the counter.

Darren looked at the cash, "No need, sir. It's on the house." He stated. He looked past Duke and saw Aurora coming back in. She ignored everyone then went back behind the bar. "She should have her uniform in tomorrow morning... I promise." She muttered to Darren, then angrily washed a few glasses.

"I'll leave it as a tip then." Duke got up and left the bar.

Darren grabbed the cash and put it into the tip jar. He went over to Aurora, "You ok?" He asked softly. "Peachy. Dining room is looking a little busy, might want to go help." She muttered, turned and began to finally put the glasses away. Darren sighed, nodded and walked out from behind the bar. After Aurora put the glasses away, she went to the drafts and leaned on the bar, lightly rapping her fingernails on the wood.

A week later Duke came in and sat down at the bar.

Aurora was at the opposite end. She tossed up a bottle of vodka as she grabbed a tumbler. She glanced over at Duke, gave a small smile, caught the bottle and poured some into the tumbler. she shook the tumbler as she grabbed a glass. "Be with ya in a minute." She called to him. She poured the mix into the glass, handed it to a customer and walked towards Duke as the customer walked out of the bar. "Corona?" she asked him and smiled; a piece of her blond hair falling in her face.

"Yeah." Duke gave a slight yawn as he waited for his beer.

Aurora walked to the cooler, popped the lid off, grabbed a lime and handed it to Duke. Darren walked over to the bar and sighed. "Looks to be slow tonight, Aurora." He looked at Duke, gave a nod, got up and walked away. Aurora sighed, grabbed a towel and grabbed a glass, "Cane say that again. So, how've you been?" she asked Duke, not taking her eyes off the glass.

"Oh the usual. Long missions, sleepless nights. 'Normal' military things." Duke took the beer and took a drink.

Aurora laughed slightly, turned around and put the glass up. she leaned with her back against the bar and looked at all the liquor. "Darren! We need more Smirnoff and Skyy..." She called out, then returned back to Duke. "Anything to eat?"

Aurora grabbed a menu and handed it to him. "Everything is pretty good. I particularly like the chicken sandwiches. Burgers are good... the steaks are amazing. It all just depends on what you're in the mood for."

Duke pushed the menu away. "Suprise me." He smiled.

Aurora looked at him and blinked. "Alright." She smiled and went in back to the kitchen.
"Hey Chicka! I didn't see you sneak past me earlier!" Jose called out. "Funny Jose. Now, do me a favor... make your special for me." "Now now, chicka. You know I can't do that." "Pleeease Jose?" Aurora begged. He looked at her then laughed. "Alright. yeah, sure chicka. whatever you want." He replied. aurora smiled and went back up to the bar.
"Alright, it'll be only a few moments." Aurora told Duke as she appeared behind the bar again.

After a few moments, a bell issued from the kitchen. Aurora casually walked in back and grabbed the dish. "Thanks." She called out. "No problem, chicka!" Jose replied. Aurora walked over to Duke and set the dish in front of him. "Ribeye sandwich. There's just some steaksauce on it. If you want anything else for it, let me know and I can get it." She smiled, reached behind the bar and set silverware on the counter for him. "Enjoy."

"I think I'm good." Duke said as he picked up the sandwich and bit into it.

Aurora smiled, then walked down to the other end. She messed around with a few bottles for a while, then came back, "How're you doing?" She asked, nodding her head to his beer and plate.

Duke was about halfway through the sandwich when Aurora came back. "It's really good. My compliments."
