Jon takes a moment, thinks, and speaks.

Cranberry juice.

Jon is not surprised as the entire bar erupts in boos. He reaches into his wallet and puts several large bills on top of the counter.

And a round on me for whoever the hell wants it, for whatever the hell they want it for. Just because I can't drink doesn't mean y'all can't. Bottom's up!

And just like that, the boo's change to cheers and the bar erupts in drink orders. Jon sips his cranberry juice with a smile and turns to Reeve.

Consequences of parole. When they said I couldn't have anything in my system, they meant it. And when they said they could test me at any time, they meant any time. You know how many times I've been tested since I've been out? And where I've been tested? Sometimes I wonder if there's a bug on me or something.

It's not like I don't drink. I do. It's not like I don't like to party. But I can't. I'm lucky enough I can still wrestle. The amount of hoops they make me jump through is ridiculous. Enough to make me wonder sometimes if it's worth it. Then I look at this...

Jon pats his Anarchy Championship

And I think "Fuck it, maybe life isn't so bad."

So, yeah, I'm ready to kick some ass and go for another. I'm like a drug fiend: one taste and I'm hooked. Which is ironic considering the guy I'm about to fight is an actual drug fiend.

But enough about that.You called this meeting, Reeve. I dig the locale, but still, business is business and the more time I spend here, the more time I risk someone taking a snapchat or an Instagram or a Whatever-the-Fuck and then my PO chews my ass out about being at a bar even though I'm not drinking. He'll call it a "dangerous environment" and a "gateway to prohibited activity". You should hear how he talks. I used to have nightmares about zombies and demons and the end of the world, now it's surprise random drug tests and parole meetings.

So, much as I dig your style, my time's short. What's on your mind?
