Being around all these people was making her antsy after everything and she couldn’t help the paranoid feeling that settled into her stomach as she’d patrolled the grounds. Relaxing as she saw Jack she took the drink from him with a smile. “I mean it very well could be your lucky day, champ,” Lucy said with a chuckle. “I mean bring a girl a drink, you’re off to the right track.”

He was still grateful they’d gotten her back to human form and would be lying if he said he was happy to be away from her for very long. After everything that had happened, he would much rather have kept her by his side the whole night. He grinned at her words and slung an arm around her waist, pulling her flush with his chest. “I like the way that sounds. Unfortunately I’ve still got a long night ahead of me.”

“Oh, so maybe Haley Sr. will try and beat baby bro to the punch?”

“I’m going to need a hell of a lot more alcohol in my bloodstream before I start taking off my shirt to please the masses.”

Any time the drink in Adam’s hand had run dry, he’d refilled it. Never going any length of time without a full cup. He figured Jack was going to avoid him until he did something that got him handcuffed to a metal pole bolted to the ground somewhere. He grinned at his older brother, taking another long drink from the beer in his hand before answering. “Nah, I think my last one was just torn by some drunk vampire chick. Can’t say I blame her for wanting to see what was underneath.”

Jack grimaced slightly and rolled his eyes. “I genuinely don’t know how Adelaide can live with you. It’s got to get old seeing you drunk and half naked all the time.” Shaking his head he sighed. “It’s not like you leave much to the imagination little brother.”

“Don’t even get me started. Waste of beer, waste of money, waste of a life…” She trailed off as a sly smile spread across her face and she began to laugh, signaling she was only joking. “My hero.” She teased, linking her arm through his and heading towards the nearest drink tent. “It’s good to see you, hon. How have you been?” She asked him, her head tilting back as she looked up at him as they walked.

Evie had been one of Jack’s favorite additions to the pack after Nik had gone awol the first time and he’d been sad to see her go when she’d left. Her personality was always a breath of fresh air in meetings that often times ended up being quite intense in the most recent years. He tightened his elbow so she had a better place to hold and steered them through the crowd and to one of the booths with alcohol. “It’s been a rough few months, but I’m working on it. I’m glad you’re back, Evie. I know it’s been rough for you too.”

“I am, are you? You’re not working today are you?” she asked with a grin, bouncing up and down on her feet as she looked around.

“Yes and yes. I am enjoying myself and I am also working. I volunteered some extra time this year, trying to help Colton with his peace of mind.”

Colton had already walked the grounds more times than he could count. Each time he was relieved when nothing serious had gone wrong and terrified that it meant something big was building up at the end. Hearing Jack, he turned towards his best friend and laughed lightly. “You’ve got a good point. I’ll try that one out on the next streaker that runs by. Based on how often it’s been happening, I give it another ten minutes before the next one makes a break for it.”

Jack let out a snort at Colton’s words, nodding understandingly. “Do you miss the days when seeing someone’s junk was a rare occurrence? Now I have to use my fingers and my toes to count how many I see during this event.”

“Sir, Yes Sir!” Dorian saluted as he quickly hurried over to Jack’s side. If it wasn’t such a second nature response by now, he might have tried to pretend he was someone else. But too late. He already blown his cover. “What can I do for you?” He asked from underneath the bag.

Jack resisted the urge to chuckle at the speed in which Dorian followed his order, knowing that Dorian probably wanted nothing to do with his fellow officer when all he wanted was to have fun. “You can explain to me exactly why you’re wearing a paper bag on your head.”

“So I’ve been here like what, three hours now? And I’ve already had an entire pitcher of beer spilled on me. It can only get better from here, right?” She asked with a hopeful smile before beginning to laugh at the situation. She wasn’t going to let a little spilled beer get her spirits down. “I need a drink that doesn’t come from ringing my hair out. You coming?”

“Well if that’s not a waste of alcohol, I don’t know what is.” Jack chuckled and gestured in front of them. “Lead the way Ducasse, let’s get you a decent drink.”

Emma had been drinking since she had gotten to the Valley, which had resulted in the drunken Emma that had surprised people so often in the past. She jumped up as she reached the end of the slip and slide and grinned at the nearby person, “Oh my god, you have to do that it was so much fun!”

“Nurse Emma, you seem to be having fun.” Jack chuckled as she popped up in front of him. The slip and slide was always one of his favorite parts of Monster Jam, enjoying the soap that inevitably would end up coating the wet plastic.

“Right, now half the town is shirtless, I’m taking bets on who will be the first full nudist. My money is on Haley Jr.”

“Oh God, please no. I’ve known him less than a year and I’ve already seen my brother shirtless enough to last a lifetime.”

“Don’t mind me,” Dorian said pushing through the crowd. One hand reaching up to keep the paper bag on his head. He had been walking around in a long sleeve shirt and jeans but less than an hour in, he was sweating so much that he was on the verge of passing out and needed to immediately change. And into what you might ask? Dorian’s entire body from his neck down was covered in a thick layer of deep scars. He had always worn long sleeve shirts as to not scare anyone away. But in the light of the slip in slide and weather that was way too hot to wear leather in, he had finally gave in to wearing his swim trucks out and about. He was wandering through the crowd shirtless, marks on display and a paper bag concealing his face so that if anyone saw him they wouldn’t immediately associate the ‘scary scarred man’ with HGPD. Pushing past another group of hipsters, he called out, “Quasimodo coming through!”

Jack knew the voice, having listened to it long enough now at the precinct. He raised an eyebrow as he took in the scars and the bag on his head, understanding the sentiment behind it, but wondering if he truly needed the bag. “Wate, come here.” He called out to the deputy and flagged him over.

@lucydanvers

Jack was taking a short break from patrolling to spend some time with Lucy before the daylight was gone and he was on stage duty. He stepped forward and planted a kiss on her cheek before holding out a drink. “You come here often or is it just my lucky day?”

@adam-haley

He could spot the shirtlessness that was his younger from a mile away and as much as he would rather have avoided him, he figured he should check in and make sure he wasn’t causing too much trouble. “Do you actually own a shirt?”

@coltondeforest

Jack had volunteered to patrol the booths this year, preferring to stay in the crowd to keep his eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary. He was hoping that for once, things would end with him arresting someone for getting too drunk in public and not because of another death and if this year followed the previous years, they’d be just fine. He spotted Colton lurking by the radio station booth and he changed course so he could bug him for a moment. “If you smile, it would probably scare people more. They’re used to broody Colt.”
