Imogen Howe was there with another guy. Alan didn't see him or maybe saw them driving away, but by the time he'd got there it was just his friends. 

"Its probably her brother other something, don't worry."

"Yeah man he looked like a pussy anyway." Jack said. 

Alan still felt like...

"Woahhh bud where you at."

Jack always had a way to get him to talk.

They weren't the regular crowd, but the hostess was happy to see them. She called them beautiful, before the guys came in she asked if they had boyfriends, then told them to be careful. They just smiled. A few minutes after they sat down the boys came in, and after...

"Look who I found."

"Sup baby face, oh you a bit tired still. Haven't had your milk."

Aaron walked in putting a cup on the table. 

"Come on get ready we gotta meet them."

Alan checked his phone.
