Tony Almeida | 24 (with bonus season 7 spoilers) | Milliways Bar
The man who walks through the door is not new. One can tell by the hint of surprise in his expression. He's not surprised because he doesn't know where he is. He knows exactly where he is. It's just been a long, long time since he was last here. In a past life, one could say.
He also looks confused. He could use a drink, yes, but does he really want to be here? Here, where someone could recognize him? Here, where he could remember?
-- fuck it, he needed a drink. And it'd been a long enough time. Maybe everyone he knew had long since stopped coming here.
(Maybe he wouldn't see her again. Or him.
Maybe he wouldn't mind seeing her. Seeing him? He wasn't so sure he wouldn't mind.)
He takes a quick scan of the bar to spot any familiar faces. None. That accomplished, he moves towards the bar, takes a seat on a barstool and orders a beer. Even then, he doesn't look completely at ease. He's still looking from person to person, searching for a familiar face.
That besides, one gets the feeling this man hasn't felt at ease for a long time.
