The night passed on, and had time flew by, the bar became emptier and emptier.
At ten thirty the bar had cleared out somewhat, with just over two dozen patrons spread throughout the establishment. There was little commotion other than across-the-table chatter here and there and the occasional laugh. 

By midnight, the bar was practically empty, with five patrons total in the establishment aside from Alice. At this point, Liza and the other waiters and waitresses were idly chatting across the place in-between serving drinks and cleaning up from the busy night. Conner attempted idle chatter with Alice regarding the news, weather, and the occasional short bar story. Occasionally the few remaining patrons were chime up and talk with Liza and the staff.

Before long, it was twelve forty, and the last patron headed out the door after paying for his drink. The only people remaining were Alice, Conner, Liza, and the other six waiters, and the cook out back, who was already locking up and preparing to leave.

"Elizabeth," Conner called to a short, blonde waitress,"go ahead and lock the door, turn off the sign too."

The young waitress did as she was asked and locked up the front door and flipped the switch to the large, red cursive neon sign outside that said [i]Benny's Bar.[/i] After that, she pulled down the shades over the front windows.

"A full till tonight, it's stuffed actually." Conner broadcasted as he locked up the cabinet doors under the bar where he had placed the assorted bottles of alcohol.

"Hey, you guys can all go ahead and leave," Conner called out,"I'll finish closing down."

"Thanks, boss." Came a males' voice.
"You rock." A dark haired waitress proclaimed.

Liza approached Alice from behind,"You ready to go?" She asked casually.
