"Ooh!" said Doreen, jumping up. "Me! Me!"
Luke and Sheldon laughed at the way she remarkably resembled a little girl begging for sweets. She rushed over to the pool table, with Sheldon and Luke following from behind.

"I'll also play, but I'll call it a day soon. Besides, that's only better for you guys, since I happen to be a very experienced pool player." Luke always liked to show off, just for fun.

"Hey, guys," said Cali Taylor from behind them. The redhead had a scotch in her hand and was looking a little tipsy.
"I didn't expect to see you guys here."

"Me neither," said Doreen, beckoning towards Cali to join them. Since both of them are redheads, people had the impression that they were related.
"As for you," she said to Luke, gently jabbing his chest with her finger. "You're not the only experienced pool player here," she said, knowing that Luke loves showing off for fun. "When I was a teen, I used to work in bars and had perfected my pool skills."
She turned her attention back to Cali who was leaning on the table. "How come we didn't see you?" she asked. "Where were you sitting?"
While waiting for her reply, she took the pool stick that Sheldon passed to her.

Sheldon laughed a little at Doreen's excitement. He watched as Doreen and Luke mentioned their so called "great skill" at pool. Sheldon didn't really care so much about skill at the moment, he was more concerned with having a good time, and making sure his beers didn't catch up with him.
"How's life, Cali?" Sheldon asked. Her voice hadn't been entirely unexpected. He had glimpsed her in the bar before, but had never actually taken the time to talk to her. He wasn't surprised that she was there, and was actually a little glad.

"Could be better but thanks for asking, Sheldon," replied Cali with a shrug. "As for why you didn't see me, I was in the bathroom with a friend, but she just left. Figured I'd have another drink and then take off."
Her frown changed to a smile as she watch her colleagues play. It wasn't that they weren't good but they seemed to put more effort into taunting the other than actually playing.
She decided to ask, "So Luke, I couldn't help but over hear your boast as I was coming over. Who in your 'expert' opinion do you think is going to win?"

"No fair!" said Doreen as she miserably saw her white ball rolled into one of the holes on the pool table. She heard Luke failing to hide his laughter. Then she smiled towards her colleagues.
"Er, guess I need to cut loose some of that skill talk ," she said, grinning sheepishly.

"Well, by the look of it, I might just win, Cali. But I'm sure Doreen can do better."

Doreen waved her hand at the comment. "Nah, I don't care about winning. I just wanna have a good time here."
Suddenly her cell phone rang. She knew it wasn't for work cos it's quite late at night and they just finished a case.
"Er, excuse me, folks," she said. "I have to answer this call."
She walked to the bathroom and flipped open her cell phone.
"Messer," she answered.

"C'mon, Versteeg, hit the ball already!" Sheldon said, with a little laugh. He glanced over his shoulder at the bathroom where Doreen had disappeared, wondering what the call could have been about.
"So, Cali, Why don't you sit down and watch?" he asked Cali, noticing that she looked a little worse for the wear. He pulled two chairs over from a nearby table and sat in one himself.

Luke scored. "Ha - Beat that!". Luke was laughing. He thought to himself that this was the first time where they were all together like this. Well not everybody is here, but just the funny atmosphere, where work, justice and time rush was not important anymore.
"Hey guys, I know the party is just getting started, but I really should leave now."

Doreen came back from the bathroom. Sheldon asked what the call was about.
"Oh, it was my sister, Gina," sha said. "Apparently, she's drunk and lost the keys to her apartment so she wants me to come over and give her her spare keys." The others laughed when they heard this.
Doreen put a few dollar bills on the table and took a last swig of her drink. She looked over at the pool table and saw that Luke had already hit all his balls.
"You beat me," she said to him and smiled.
"So I'll see you all at work tomorrow, OK?" she said to her colleagues.
With that she gave them one last smile and and walked out of the bar.

"Wait for me, Doreen, I'll walk out with you". Luke suddenly felt really old. These guys look like they could hang out here all night, but Luke was already tired. That's when you get when you're 34. Not nice to face that reality. He used to be quite the party man, going out 'till late at night.
He and Doreen walked out together. Suddenly Doreen bursted out laughing. Luke asked: "What? What? What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing," she said, smiling at him. She suddenly slipped on a some water but Luke caught her by the arms. She blushed and quickly got out from them.
"Er... thanks," she said, her face still red.

Luke also blushed a little. "It's okay. I'm just glad I was at the right place at the right time". There was a silence. "So I guess I see you at work monday?"
