It was the start of a new school semester for Jack, which meant all of his time that didn't go to bar management was occupied with the business of being educated.

After victoriously teaching his first class, Jayne was in the mood for a drink. Actually Jayne was in the mood for a drink most of the time so this was nothing new.

"Do I need to show proof that I'm a teacher?" he said taking a seat at the bar. "'Cause I don't have any."

"Nice to see fresh blood, anyhow. I'm Jack."

"Half off water you already get for free," Jack reminded him cheerily. "I think I might actually owe youmoney."

"I could be okay with that," Derek replied.

Jack sighed and slid a quarter across the bar to Derek. "Don't spend it all in one place."
