Charlie (stepping into the street): Whoa! I hadn’t realized it had gotten dark.
Pedro: Time flies when you’re having fun.
Pat: Ah…lads…

Pedro: Time flies when you’re having fun.
Pat: Ah…lads…
Charlie follows Pedro downstairs and into the street, where they see Pat waiting for them.
Charlie (going to her stool): Where we off to now?
Pedro: To be honest, I don’t know yet.
Charlie (sighing): Oooo…kay…
Pedro: Yes, we’re still here…. What?… You did? That’s great! Yes… Yes…Ok… We’ll be right down.
He flips his phone up, and grabs his vest from the stool.
Pedro: C’mon, Charlie! Time to go.
Pedro: Hello? Oh!
Pedro looks at Charlie, sheepishly.
Pedro: Hi Pat!
Pedro (looking down at the bar): I wonder where Pat went?…
Charlie: Didn’t you say he went to check on something?
Pedro: Yes, but I don’t see him anymore.
Charlie: Do you have his cell number?
Pedro laughs.
Pedro: I don’t think he carries a cell phone.
Pedro’s cell phone rings.
Charlie: I’m not sure I follow.
Pedro: Let’s just say Pat is well connected to many fields.
Charlie: I see.
Pedro: I hope I will too, soon.
Charlie: What?
Pedro: Pat likes to keep in the know. Know what’s going on. I was surprised he hadn’t heard about this necklace.
Charlie: Why would he have? Is he an historian too?
Pedro (smiling): Hum… in a way. More like a collector and reseller.
Charlie: Hum…Are you sure he’s coming back?
Pedro: Yeah, I’m pretty sure.
Charlie: What’s in it for him?
Pedro: That person i not easy to get a hold of. That’s why I came here.
Charlie: Pat?
Pedro: Yes. He knows how to get in touch with him.
Charlie: Is that where he’s gone now?
Pedro: Yes. At least, I hope so.
