[color=ed1c24][b]Ace Makovich - Diner[/b][/color]

Betty brought her hand to her face where Brandy had just punched her, and there was a bit of blood but not much. Her gaze turned to the right and she was about to go for a knife lying on the counter. Ace gave her a look, and she stopped half way. Ace turned, and everyone was looking their way, after all who wouldn’t stare at this show. Sara was loving it, she was just laughing. 

Brandy looked like she was about to throw a second punch. Ace had enough, he knelt on a knee and grabbed Brandi by the legs and threw her over his shoulder and made for the door. He looked back at Betty, “Put some ice on your face and keep an eye out on the diner.” Betty shouted a couple things ant Brandy as Ace closed the door, but he wasn’t able to hear them. At first Brandy tried kicking him, but he held her legs tightly, but she did throw some punches. She finally realized Ace was carrying her and she stopped. 

They were away from the diner now; they were at the beach, near the wall. Ace placed Brandy on the sand. He paced in front of her, she tried to get up but Ace shot her a look, and she sat back down. Ace was before the first stages of the wall. He looked at it and it was crude but it would work as a basic means of protections. They could get some concrete from the Quincy quarries and it could make it even better. 

He turned back to Brandy and took a seat on the sand next to her. He pulled his pistol and placed it to his side. Brandy gaze turned to the gun. Ace looked at her and where she was looking and he chuckled at her scared gaze, “What do you think I’m going to do with it? I just want it ready to access in case of a mirelurk.”

“I-I-I…am so-…sorry. I just saw…and you …and what Shelby had said…I just snapped.” Brandy stuttered as tears streamed down her face.

“I should’ve figured Shelby would be involved in this. Got to say it’s a nice day for the beach. No mirelurk sightings, clear skies…now if the temperature was warmer, I might’ve been tempted to go for a swim.” Ace said as he ran his hands through the sand. He placed a hand on her back and rubbed up and down. He laid down on the sand and gave her a nudge and placed her head on his chest as she continued to sob.

“Gotta say, it has been a while since I took a moment to just rest and do nothing. You know, been a while since I took a break…” He rubbed her arm and smiled. 

She looked up at him, “Aren-…Aren’t you going to say anything?”

Ace shook his head, “Nah…not the time. I’m on break right now with my girl.” He listened as the waves crashed against the beach, it was a pleasant sound, one that was usually broken up the chittering sound of mirelurks. “By the way, I hired a waitress and cook to help me out at the diner. You know to give me time to spend with you or anyone else for that matter. Bit of an attitude on her, has nothing on this world, even the clothes she’s wearing once belonged to me. Escaped from Children of Atom. I think if you started over, you might like her…”
