Wingin’ It Sports Bar

9:46 PM

A few days had passed since David caught influenza while at his daycare lessons, with both parents at his side to care for him. The medicine prescribed by his pediatrician helped with aiding his recovery.  

Jerald was out with his boss Troy and his co-worker Tyson; both invited him to this bar to talk about current events over some nuggets. He wasn’t sure if he could, deciding to ask his wife first.

Marian agreed and told her husband that she could take care of their son while he was away, which allowed him to have some free time. They were sitting at a round table meant for three people, purple lights shining down from the ceiling.  

Some people were enjoying some saucy nuggets and wings while watching the latest game of Football, with classic rock music played in the background. Alcohol wasn’t being served until ten.  

“So, Jerald, my man, how is your kiddo doing?” asked Tyson.

“He’s doing much better; thanks to the medicine we have for him. I appreciate you asking.” said Jerald.  

“That’s good to hear, Lavinzo. Influenza is the worst thing to have. Hopefully... there’s no Influenza outbreak going on.” said Troy.

“I doubt it, it’s likely an isolated case.” He replied.

“That must just be the case, these can pop up sometimes. Even unexpectedly.” said the black bear.  

“It all reminds me of my teenage years; I caught Influenza from a high-school classmate and had to stay home for three days.” Jerald said.  

“At least you had a break from your classes for a while.” The badger said.  

Jerald was about to respond when their waiter approached them while holding a digital pad used for taking orders and sending them to the kitchen. It was a dark brown Pitbull wearing a black apron over his clothing, with the words ‘Wingin’ It Sports Bar’ written on the front.

“Hello, I am Jay, and I’ll be your waiter tonight. What’ll it be gentlemen?” He asked.  

“We’ll be having half hot and half barbeque nuggets.” said Troy.

“Okay, is there anything else? Do you want any appetizers?” He asked.  

“That’ll be all, thank you.” said Jerald.  

“Alright, I’ll get that for you when it’s ready.” said the waiter  

The Pitbull recorded the order and sent it to the kitchen through the POS system, heading off afterwards. Jerald reached into his wallet grab his credit card, just as his boss was about to do the same.  

“Don’t worry about paying, I got this.” said Troy.

“Grazie Boss.” said the tiger.  

“Thanks a million, boss.” said Tyson.  

“Not a problem,” The badger said.  

While they waited for their food, they decided to talk about the most recent crimes that happened. Anything that came to mind at all.

“Some guy was trying to break into my car using a toothbrush and a switchblade, the dumbass believed they could destroy the driver side window. I was standing right near them!” said Troy.

“Wow... he must’ve been desperate to steal something from your car? Did you deal with him?” Tyson asked.

“Yes, I scared him off with my Self Defense Baton.” The badger replied.  

“Here’s a story, a creepy man was stalking my wife while she was tending to her garden. He then strolled right up to her and asked for a sexual favor, just because he was feeling horny.” said Jerald as he cringed.  

“Ewww... I hope your wife dealt with that creep!” said the black bear.

“She chased him off with a garden trowel, thank goodness my son was napping during that.” said the tiger. “Can’t some men keep it in their pants nowadays...?”  

“I'm glad your wife fought back, mine would’ve grabbed the nearest frying pan. She’s an amazing wife!” said the badger.  

“Oooo, now that’s a classic defense weapon.” said Tyson as he laughed.  

“My wife is very precious to me, and I wouldn’t consider dating any other woman. She wouldn’t let me hear the end of it.” said Jerald.  

“The same would go for mine.” said Troy.  

After a short while of waiting, the barbeque and spicy nuggets arrived in a paper basket along with metal cups filled with crispy fries. Troy was really looking forward to diving into the barbeque nuggets.  

“Grazie!” said Jerald.

“You’re welcome, enjoy yourselves gentlemen.” said the waiter as headed away from them.

“Oh man, these smell delicious!” said Tyson.

“Let’s dig in gentlemen!” their boss said.  

The three men began diving into their delicious and succulent nuggets, making sure to grab plenty of fries. There was a total of forty nuggets to consume, enough to go around for all of them.  

Troy and Tyson preferred to have the hot ones compared to the barbeque ones, which allowed Jerald to eat his fair share. They all enjoyed themselves while watching the football game like all the other patrons.  

“I’m glad I picked this spot for us to go; there weren’t any other reputable places in the city.” said the badger.

“Yeah, some restaurants can look rather sketchy. I think even some of the cops are crooked too.” said Jerald.  

“Wouldn’t be surprised.” said Tyson.

“I look forward to a few drinks between us.” said Troy.  


 



 



Wingin It Sports Bar

Thursday
 
It was now the hour of alcoholic beverages to be served, Jerald watched as their waiter approached them.  The gentlemen looked over the menu for a moment before making their decision.

“Alright gentlemen, what will it be for alcoholic beverages?” asked the waiter.

“I’ll go for the Hard Canon Whiskey please.” said Troy.

“For me... it’ll be the Kiwi Lime Vodka.” Tyson replied.

“I’ll go for a Captain Morgan, per favore.” Jerald said.  

The waiter put in their orders with a smile, nodding to them as he headed off to bar to grab their alcoholic beverages. His boss and co-worker smiled towards Jerald for his choice of alcohol.  

“Trying some rum?” The black bear asked.

“Yeah, I don’t usually have rum very often, I prefer Italian Beer for the most part.”  said the tiger.

“Well... you’ll certainly enjoy it!” said the boss.  

After a few minutes, their drinks arrived as the waiter placed them on the table, with a side of salty chips to chase it down. The gentlemen thanked their waiter and got right into the consumption of their beverages.  

The music had changed to something of a smooth jazz for the time being, people were laughing and having a good time. Even Jerald was doing some drunken singing after having a few bottles of rum. It was rather hilarious for the two other gentlemen to witness.  

“Volaaareeee....! Ooooh! Cantareee.... ooooh! Nel blu... dipinto di blu! Felice... di stare lassù.” Jerald sang.  

“That’s good Jerald, what song is that?”  asked Troy.

“Volare, a classic italiano song that I like. Along with other songs like Gloria by Umberto Tozzi.” said Jerald.

“Not bad man... your singing is *hic* impressive.” said Tyson.  

“Why don’t you try singing?” The tiger asked.

“Oh please... my singing skills are horrible...” He replied while chuckling to himself.  

“How about a third *hic* round gentlemen?” Their boss asked.  

“I appreciate the offer... boss. I don’t want my wife seeing me come home... like a drunken sailor out sea.” said Jerald.  

Unknown to the three gentlemen, an unscrupulous dark-grey rat with a grey hoodie and tan pants was approaching them. He grabbed a combat knife from his right pocket as he chuckled to himself.  

Since Jerald wasn’t paying attention, Troy and Tyson were the ones to notice the stranger approaching them.  

“Jerald... we got company! I don’t think it’s the welcoming kind.” said Troy.

“Oh no...” said Tyson.

“Hey you, old man doing the drunken singing... give me your wallet!” said the stranger.

“Hold on Signore... there’s no need for *hic* violence.” said the tiger as he got up from his seat and approached the stranger with a slight stumble to his movement.  

“If you don’t hand over your wallet, I’ll gut you with this combat knife I stole from a cop!” the stranger threatened.  

“Let me help you with this miscreant!” said the black bear.

“No worries, I got this.” said Jerald. “Now... you will cease your violent tendencies, or you’ll be in more trouble than you need to be.

The rat was rather annoyed that this drunken man wasn’t taking to his threats so easily, he believed that this would be a simple snatch and grab. People in the bar watched and waited to see what would happen.

Jerald chuckled to himself, believing that this criminal wouldn’t be much of a threat to him.

“What’s so funny, Italian greaser!?” shouted the rat. “Give me your wallet now!”

“Hohoho... Signore, I don’t believe you know who you are dealing with. Just because I am drunk doesn’t mean I can’t defend myself. I’ve once practiced Street Fighting with a friend back in Sicily, who’s also my son’s Zio.” said the tiger.

“Zio? Who the fuck are you talking about?” the stranger asked while preparing to stab Jerald.  

“Here’s a little fighting move that I call... the Sicilian Upper Hook!” shouted Jerald as he punched the rat right in the jaw, causing him to fall and drop his knife.  

Everyone in the bar watched with surprise as the mugger fell to the ground, writhing in pain from the punch. Some people were impressed to see this happening, especially to someone who was a low-life criminal.  

“Fuck... that hurts...! You stupid spaghetti muncher!” The rat shouted.  

“Cosa? Say that again...?” asked the tiger.

“I said... you are a stupid spaghetti munc-” He replied while being grabbed by the shirt.  

“Signore... don’t ever insult me or mi familia, or you will regret it!” exclaimed Jerald.  

“Fuck it... it’s not worth mugging you. I’m getting out of here!” said the mugger as he ran out of the bar.

A few of the patrons applaused Jerald for running the miscreant out of the bar, and even their waiter joined in as well. This is when he realized the action he had commited, and he was rather ashamed of himself.

“Mio dio.. what have I done? In all my drunkenness, I ended up using violence to stop a jerk. This isn’t like me...” He spoke.

“It’s okay Jerald, you had to protect yourself from being mugged.” said Tyson.

“If you hadn’t punched him in the jaw, he would’ve had the advantage for sure.” said Troy.

“Nice punch sir, that was very impressive.” said Jay as he approached them. “Whenever you're ready, insert your credit card into the reader.”  

“You’re right... I did what I had to do.” said the tiger as he took a breath. “I just prefer not to use violence to solve all problems.”  

“Sometimes Jerald, you’ll have to resort to it when all peaceful solutions fail. That’s just how the world works sometimes.” said the badger as he handed his credit card to the waiter.  

“If anything, it falls into the category of self-defense technically.” said Tyson as he watched the boss take back his credit card after he finished paying.

“Not a bad point, let’s just hope I don’t have to resort to this ever again, at least for a while.” said Jerald.

“Something like this is bound to happen again, it’s just a matter of when. All you need to do is make sure that you are prepared for it.” said Troy.
