Max arrives with Mike at his favorite diner, where he eats everyday as both men get out of the Trans Am, get inside and sit down at a table. The waitress approaches the 2 men sitting at the table. "Hello Max what can I get you?" She asked as she had a pen and a small notebook in her hand. "Hello Jessica. You look marvelous today. We'll have two hamburgers with everything on and i'll just have a coffee, i'm driving." said max as he turned his view from the waitress to Mike expecting him to say what he wants to drink. "Just a beer please!" Said Mike as he put his elbows on the table and his hands under his chin. "Coming right up." Said the waitress as she finished noting down and left. As Max and Mike were awaiting their food and drinks Max felt the need to start the discussion. 

"So what brings you back to New York?" Asked Max. "I came to see an old friend. Is that a crime?" Answered Mike with a smile on his face. "No! It's just last we saw each other, you made it very clear that you hate me because I decided to become a responsible person, that I've decided to take care of my child and her mother. I made a mistake okay. I should've used a condom. But I didn't, and I ended up beying a father at just 16 years old." Said Max trying to figure out how Mike poped up all of a sudden and was so friendly to him. "That's in the past Max. I don't hate you anymore. What's ironic in all of this is that after our 4-man gang has split, I ended up following the same path as you. But I didn't chose the Marines. I went with the regular US Army." Said Mike trying to explain himself.

"You know Jack's in prison right? He was caught selling drugs to some undercover NYPD narcotics detective. Since it was his first offense he got just 5 years. He's in his 3rd now. I don't know how he's gonna pay that 50.000 $ fine though. I've visited him a couple of times. He's a wreck. He can't wait to get out of prison and turn his life around. Do you know anything of Billy? All I know is that he's somewhere in Spain." Said Max then asking Mike if he knows anything of Billy. "Billy's in Barcelona. He's working as a driver for some pimp that poses as a legitimate businessman. But in reality the guy sells and buys women like cheap meat. Then he forces them to become prostitutes. I don't know if Billy knows about his boss's real job. But even if he does I don't think he'd care very much. You know how he is." Said Mike, filling Max in on Billy's current situation. 

"Your parents told me that you've quit the Army in 2008 and you've set to see the world. Is that true?" Asked Max. "Yeah. I've seen alot of great places. Thailand, China, Vietnam, India, Japan, Peru, Chile, Brazil and may other places. I've shut myself away from everyone and everything and concentrated on my travelling." Said Mike with a visibly satisfied tone. As Max and Mike were discussing their order came. "Here you go gentlemen. Your hamburgers, with everything on, your coffee Max and this is your friend's beer." Said the waitress as she was laying down everything on the table. "Thanks alot Jessica. Here's the money...and this is your tip." Said Max smiling as he handed over the payment to the waitress plus her tip. "Thanks alot sugar. Enjoy!" Said the waitress as she left. " I think she likes you." Said Mike as he was staring at the waitress. "Maybe! I never really thought about that. Now let's eat." Said Max as both he and Mike grabbed their hamburgers and started eating.
