Damian Said, "Uh when I have the time I like To check out the panthers." Damian Asked, "What's your title? Where You hailing from partner?" The man leaned Over the bar to shake Damian's Hand saying, "I'm from DC! Leon Shakespeare! Just moved here!" Damian shook his hand firmly and then assumed the Brotherhood handshake. "Good to Have your acquaintance Shakespeare." "Yeah, same here." Shakespeare said. Damian wanted to know more about Him. "So Shakespeare, you live near Here? Got family around?" He Responded, "Yeah I live in town About 5 miles from here. I been Living here for about 2 months now Since my wife is pregnant we had To have a bigger place." Damian Answered, "Aha congrats Shakespeare!" When's she due?" Shakespeare Boasted loudly November! I'm a Father, Daddy Leon Shakespeare!" Damian bolstered "That's all right man!" Damian was impressed with the 6'3" man who just leaned over his Bar to shake his hand. Damian now Stood 6'5" and only 22 years old. 20 minutes later Damian said, "Hey Shakespeare This is quiting time." He stepped From behind the bar saying, "I have To speak with the supervisor I'll be Back." Then disappeared to his Uncle's office. "Uncle Kerris I'm done For the day I'll be leaving. I'll check You." Kerris said, "Yeah Damian You've been operating magnificently So far, keep it going son!" He said "Yeah, thanks Uncle, you know it." And quickly exited the room with Classic charisma.

Outside they Parted and exchanged the familiar Brotherhood handshake in the Process Shakespeare passed him His business card. "Uh okay yeah I'll call you." Damian showed a speck Of surprise. "Okay Damian. I see You later." "Alright later man." He crotched Into his huge pickup truck and drove home. Damian Swept into his house admiring The scene 2 in the morning, and made The choice to buy furniture later. He Didn't bother to remove most of His clothes instead he drifted to sleep With his jeans, socks and his t- shirt. The next morning He was a little irritated that he'd Fallen asleep with his clothes on. So he hopped into the shower 15 minutes dressed to finesse. He Pondered, "I need furniture. Extra king bed.
