"Fruit..." The thought of fruit ran through eZ_M0ney's mind and he just chuckled.

"Don't worry Cin. I'll get some olives for the martinis!" he told Cin before leaving the shop with Ricky_Bobby.

eZ and Ricky started walking down the sidewalk towards a lumberyard that had pretty good prices. eZ took out his cigarettes and offered one to Ricky. He lit up and started figuring out how he was going to build the bar in the back of his head. He had a habit of figuring out stuff in his head rather than writing it all down.

The liquor store and local market were on the way to the lumberyard and Ricky decided to stop and get the booze and food while eZ continued onward.

eZ finally arrived at the lumberyard. He approached the a man in the lumberyard.

"Yo' pa. You work here?" he asked the man.

"Yes sir! What can I do for ya'?" the man replied.

"I need a piece of paper and somethin' to write with," he gestured in a writing motion with his hand.

The man handed him a small booklet and a pencil. eZ began writing down and order for different sizes and lengths of pieces of wood, different kinds of nails, two new hammers, and some random supplies he knew he'd need.

"I need all of these things delivered to a shop down the road. This cash should cover the cost of materials and delivery plus a tip to make sure you get it done today," he handed an enveloped to the man that he pulled from out of his trench coat.

eZ turned away and started walking towards the liquor store hoping to find Ricky.

The liquor store, now Ricky knew he could makeup for his wrong doings by showing his level of expertise in booze. Walking through the store Ricky grabbed three top shelf bottles of each different liquor until he got to the tequila. There, he noticed there was a small basket of limes next to the tequila.

"That must be what Cin meant about fruit, that's why they pay her the big bucks." He mumbled to himself while he dumped all of the limes into his cart. Deciding they looked nice in the basket he tossed it in as well figuring it might look nice on eZ's new bar. Ricky continued through the store gathering up all of the top shelf booze he could fit into his shopping cart.

When he got to the register the clerk stared at Ricky as he unloaded all of the booze onto the counter to get rung up for check out. That's when the clerk asked Ricky if he preferred the dark liquors or the clear ones even though he had gotten excessive amounts of each.

Pausing for a second to think Ricky said, "I guess I've never really thought about it, do you have a glass back there? We can always find out."

After one too many samples Ricky decides he loves them both equally. Ricky hands the cashier the money and leans on his cart for balance as he sets off to the market to get some food. Ricky made a point to try every single sample inside of the market and managed to sober himself up a bit. As Ricky stumbled out of the market with his cart full of booze and snacks he almost bumped into someone walking by. When the gentleman turned around Ricky recognized eZ_M0ney immediately at which point he tried to snap up and act a bit sober.

"Hey! Whats is goin on there bud?" Ricky asked eZ while shutting one eye in an attempt to focus his vision.

Without a word eZ just shook his head and waved as for Ricky to follow him as they headed back towards Cin's shop. Just as they reached the front of the shop Ricky was starting to feel a bit better and hoped Cin wouldn't notice that he had taken some samples of the booze. She was probably getting close to fed up with his antics for the day.

eZ_M0ney and Ricky_Bobby were approaching the shop and eZ could still smell the booze in Ricky's breath.

"You go inside and deal with Cin. I'm sure she's going to love the way you smell. I'm goin' to wait outside for the lumber truck. It shouldn't be long now," he told Ricky while pulling out a cigarette and lighting up.

Sure enough, he could already see the delivery truck coming down the road. He waved down the men driving and found some big rocks to hold the doors to the shop open to get the materials inside. The truck pulled up to the shop and the men got off. They began unloading lumber and putting it in the back room. The men were done unloading the material before sunset and eZ got himself inside.

He could see that Cin and Ricky were somewhat skeptical of his ability to put together a bar by himself.

"No worries. You all just focus on everything else and let me be. I'll have our own bar put together before you know it!" he said to the both of them excited to get started on the bar.

Cin watched eZ for a few minutes while she tried to figure out how to deal with Ricky. She could smell the liquor long before he got close to her. She wasn't a huge drinker so that stuff stood out to her. As she watched him walk in the door she could see the slight stagger.

"Well eZ I trust that you will do a fine job with that bar."

She left eZ to create the bar as she headed straight for Ricky. She wasn't entirely mad but she knew he wouldn't be of too much use until tomorrow.

"Ricky, Ricky, Ricky." Cin started out. "What am I going to do with you? Well since you clearly need to rest go find a spot on the couch. I'll put this stuff away once I am finished cleaning out the cupboards."

Cin pushed Ricky towards the couch. She picked up her bucket and tossed out the cold water to replace it with heated water. Turning her back she went back to the kitchen area and started to scrub the cupboards out. One by one they began to become cleaner and in an hour or so she had the whole kitchen cleaned and dusted out. She put away the alcohol at the back of the cupboards to keep it hidden behind other things.

Soon she began arranging the tables and chairs so they were ordered around the room. A place for everyone to sit should they begin to show up now that most of the inside work was done.

While Ricky_Bobby slept off his drunken state, eZ_M0ney got to work on his bar. The smile on his face was a rare sight, but the idea of getting to build his own bar was just too much for him to keep inside.

He began laying down the basic framework for what would be his bar. He grabbed 2x4's and created a rectangular base for the rest of the bar to stand on and laid 2x4's inside the frame for a sturdy foundation. He slowly but sure began installing uprights and using plywood to create a seamless finish. He installed cabinets for booze and even special inlets for lighting. He left a space for a mirror that he would later install when he got a mirror. He sanded down all the surfaces from top to bottom. It took him a few hours but it was done. He laid down a stain to make the wood pop, let it try, and finished it off with a clear finish to prevent the wood from rotting.

"All I need now is a mirror, some place to store ice, and the booze," he muttered to himself. He went to the front room to find Ricky awakening from his slumber.

Ricky was just sitting up as eZ_M0ney entered the room. It was clear to Ricky that he had missed out on the work. He took a second to gather his thoughts and set out for the kitchen and some much needed water. When he got to the kitchen he saw the spectacular job Cin had done cleaning up in there. It no longer looked like a murder scene, but rather somewhere one could actually prepare a meal.

Ricky grabbed a glass and put back as much water as he could without stopping. Ricky had to make himself productive because the events of the day had only proven that Ricky might need some supervision.

Walking back into the room Cin was in Ricky decided he will take one last swing at being useful. "Ok, I need one more chance. What can I do for you Cin? I promise ill do my best to only drink a bit and I will only steal things that I really really think you would like. Scout's honor!"

Ricky makes a cheesy grin and hopes for the best.

As Ricky_Bobby was sucking up to Cin for screwing up earlier in the day, eZ_M0ney began heading towards the bottles of booze and Cin had hidden away from Ricky. Slowly, he began to transfer the bottles from the cabinets to the bar and neatly organizing them by type of liquor and then by quality.

"Well...I guess I deserve a little drink.." he muttered to himself. He poured himself a straight double of whiskey and put it down. He wiped out the glass and put it away neatly. He was tired. He'd been up and down all day and even managed to build a complete bar. He proceeded towards the couch where Ricky had slept.

"I'm goin' to grab a quick rest ya'll. I'm beat," he explained to Cin and Ricky before laying down, pulling his hat over his face, and dozing off.

"Id avoid the end of the couch where my head was eZ, I tend to drool when I take my drunk naps."

Ricky's hangover was in full swing now and he desperately wanted Cin to send him on a mission for greasy food and coffee but he figured he wasn't going to get off that easy. The day would be a success if he could manage to not fall back asleep or throw up. Or both.
