The bar and grill didn't look like much from the outside but it was reasonably clean and well cared for, the sign outside boasting 'Good Food and Cocktails' to it's customers. There was also a handful of cars in the small parking lot showing the place was starting to draw a dinner crowd.
Inside J.R. was already at work. Easily balancing a tray of drinks she passed them around to one of her tables. "One water, two iced teas and a diet coke." She tucked the tray under her arm, gesturing lightly around the table with her free hand. "We're all good? Awesome!" She flashed a bright grin. "Lemme know if you need anything else...your food will be ready in a few!"
She moved away from the table, wiping her hands off on the little apron around her waist. So far the place wasn't too busy but it'd probably pick up as the evening went on.

Faye headed in front of the others to the small cafe, it looked a little shady, but she knew that things wernt always as they seemed. A bell chimmed above the door and the sweet scent of food hit her senses, she loked around, gazing at the other customers and smiled, before she stepped further in.
A familar voice caught her attention and she all but spun in the direction. "JR"She furrowed her brow as she stepped closer.
"Its is, ill be damned"

From somewhere off to her side, J.R. heard her name. She spun quickly on her heel as her eyes quickly scanned the other tables and staff looking for whoever was trying to get her attention. Her seeking eyes stopped when they encountered Faye however, and she started to grin.
"Hey you!" She raised a free hand in a wave, coming to join her friend. "Small world, huh?" She laughed at this with a slight shake of her head. "So what's up?" She asked. "I mean, beyond possibly looking for dinner."

Faye laughed and let out a sigh "That just there is a hell of a long story" She looked around the dinner, trying to find a table big enough for the amount of people that were comeing.
"But dinner is good, whats good in this place"she questioned with a raised brow. "How'z life treatin ya"

"Well, you do know I am going to expect you to tell it all to me eventually." J.R. warned, joining in the laugh.
"So where do you wanna sit? I can get you up at the counter. Or there's some tables by the window if you like overlooking the parking lot." She grinned. "What's good? Umm, chicken fried steak is pretty good." She lowered her voice slightly. "Avoid the meatloaf at all costs. But my real recommendation? Skip dinner, go for pie!"
She glanced around to make sure she wasn't needed anywhere else before continuing to talk, picking up a menu at the same time. "I've been good. Mostly just working and figuring this city out. I'd ask how you're doing, but you already said that was a long story!"

Faye shrugged her shoulders as she folowed her friend "Table by the window is good"She said "Got a couple of friends joining me"She smiled and took the menu from her, skimming over it before sinking down at the table, her gaze looking up at her friend.
"Yea, took me a while to figure it out to but now i have"She shrugged her shoulders, laughing and nodded her head.
"And later i assure you ill fill you in on everything, still trying to process it myself"She bit her lip and let out a sigh "but other then that, im actually ok"

"Ooh, some of your friends?" J.R. turned her steps from the counter to a table instead. "Awesome. I'd like to meet 'em!"
Once Faye was settled at the table and looking at her menu, J.R. rested a hand against the back of one of the chairs across from her, leaning her weight against it. "That good, huh? Somehow this is all not sounding incredibly encouraging..."
She shifted her weight slightly. "So from the sounds of it, round of drinks to start off with?" She offered.

Faye smiled nodding her head "O yea you'd love em"she stated, any one who was any one would get along with JR, she was just that type of person. She let out a sigh.
"Yea, its been one hetic thing after another, so drinks, are gonna be more then welcome"She looked out of the window, wondering where they all were.

J.R. grinned at Faye. "Sweet. I need to start building up my 'L.A. crowd' after all." She raised both hands to make little quote marks in the air at this. Even if she didn't make huge amounts of close bestest friends, it was always a good idea to have buddies in any city. Not just to have people to hang out with, but because she never knew if or when she was going to end up needing people on her side for whatever reason.
"Alright then! Drinks coming up. Anything specific or should I just start randomly dumping stuff together until it looks promising?" She asked with a wide grin.

Faye reagared her friend with a raised brow before simply nodding her head. "That sounds good, as long as this time its actually drinkable"She laughed remembering the last time JR had trid that, it had almost burnt her throat of.
"But bring some coke to k, not all of us are drinking"

"Yeah, yeah. Just because it ate a hole in the table varnish." J.R. made a face at Faye. "I've gotten a lot better since then!" She defended herself with a laugh.
"Tell you what, though. I'll just bring some drinks, couple beers, some soda, and when your friends get here you guys can sort it all out. Does that work?" She offered. "And cause you're my buddy and you've obviously had a not-so-hot day I'll take care of the first batch. But if you guys wanna keep getting drunk after that, you're on your own!" She pointed a warning finger at Faye but was still grinning to show she was just kidding around.

"Just leave me a nice little tip at the end, that'd be great." J.R. only half teased. "Mama's 'Cuda needs more parts. Again." She said, referring to her much loved, often repaired, rebuilt and upgraded muscle car.
"Alright. Be right back then." She promised, moving in the direction of the bar before returning about ten minutes later with a tray.
"Okay. Got some coke..." She set down a pair of glasses with a dark liquid in them. "Some Spite..." She set down a pair of glasses this time with a clear liquid. "Took a guess and grabbed Corona over Bud Light." A few bottles of beer were added to the mix. "And finished it off with a couple Margaritas." She set them on the table as well, sliding one across to Faye.
"That work to get you started, or did I miss anything?" She flashed another quick grin.

A little lost he looked around to see where the others had gone. There was only one restaurant on the other side of the street. At the speed of a snail he made his way there and entered the noisy place. Despite its outer appearance it was pretty popular at this time of the day and the signed outside promised good food and cocktails. 'Exactly what I need' he thought.
A young woman wanted to show brian an empty table but he already spotted Faye and Jack and took a seat opposite of them. "Have you guys ordered yet?"

Faye shook her head as she looked up at Brian, "Nope, but JR, gave us free round of drinks"She stated gesturing to the drinks in front of them and towards her friend looking over at them.
"JR meet Brian, Brian meet JR, shes a friend of mine from Miami"

"I don't get off for a while yet. But..." J.R. glanced at her watch. "I get my dinner break in like fifteen minutes. And I've already decided I'm crashing at your table, so yeah."
She glanced up as Brian came to join them, looking him over rather curiously. "Brian, hey." She flashed him a bright smile. She held out a hand to him to shake. "Good to meet you! Help yourself to one'a the drinks. Or I'll grab you whatever you want."

Brian looked from the drinks up to the waitress and noticed how out of place she looked. faye's friend was a stunning, model like woman, who simply didn't look like a waitress. Brian shook her hand with a smile. "From Miami as well? How come I never met any of you while I was living there? Nice to meet you, JR. JR like in the TV show?" He bit his lip because of his smart ass remark. "Sorry, I don't mean to offend you."

"Possibly." JR drawled out the answer to the question about her name, giving him a quick wink. "An' takes a hell of a lot more then that to offend me. But believe me...if you'd had, you'd know!"
She tilted her head curiously in his direction. "You spent time in Miami too? Maybe it was after I left, I haven't been there in a few years. Or maybe we just ran in different social circles." She laughed. But she still studied him a moment longer, just in case she had run into him somewhere along the line.

"I haven't met you, I would know that." he flashed her a smile. "I was in Miami about 7 years ago, stayed for 1 or 2 years. What 'social circles' did you run in down there?" he enquired with a bit of curiousity. She looked like she could have been married to some rich guy. While he was waiting for an answer he grabbed a glass of water on the table and had a sip. "Do you have burgers here? With fries and salat?"
