Edgar squinted his eyes and looked at his friends who stood in a semi-circle around him. A smile crept across his face. “How…how…” his words were slurred due to the amount of alcohol he and the rest of his friends had consumed. “How many of us are there?”
“You’d better count.” Glenn replied. His words just as slurred.
Edgar silently went around the circle, counting. “There’s…there’s nine.”
“You didn’t count you.” Glenn replied, laughing.

“Excuse me, sir, are you a pizza delivery person.” Officer Mulligan asked of the man standing near his car.
“Yeah.” The man said gruffly. “What’s it to you?”
Officer Mulligan was taken aback. He looked at his partner, unable to speak.
Officer Fitzroy cleared his throat, “We were just wondering if, perhaps you could inform us of the specific reasons for your being in this area at this present time.”
