A few more moments later, the Chevrolet car Lenard was driving is parked on the parking lot close to the Luigi's Restaurant main door. Lenard is heading with the bag with liquor at the door, he opens it up, and he is looking around this building to see where it is his friend table at. There aren't many customers there, but he sees his friend there, but there are also some more people at the table.

"Hello, everyone!" says Lenard coming at the table with a gift bag with liquor, and he is looking at his friend Ramirez. "Happy birthday, man!" he puts the bag on the table and is looking at Ramirez taking the bag, and he sees the liquor his friend bought for him.

"Thank you, Lenard. You surely got some good taste in drinks." he says looking at the expensive drink his best friend bought for him.

Lenard sits on the table, close to Carmen, who is also there, on the Carmen side it is Ramirez, then agent Jeremy, who is still working for cops of Ruby City and for Carmen as usual, there is also Tim who got freed after two months ago, and he is living at an apartment he bought by working twenty-three hours as a bodyguard. And there is a woman there, who is a close friend to Ramirez, her name is Sarah.

All these people are sitting at the table, celebrating the birthday of a muscular guy who was once captive for a long time, and it was a huge help for Carmen business. Without him, she would probably never be a big agency of investigations on these three artificial islands.

A guy who is the waiter comes with a big pizza and with a lot of candles at it. That pizza it is for Rodriguez because he is lactose intolerant, and a pizza without any cheese and only meat is the ideal thing for him here. When he extinguished the lights from that pizza, he is putting wine on his glass, the wine waiter has brought to them together with the pizza. He is raising from the table, and he says to everyone who is also raising their glasses up.

"A toast, for an amazing group of friends who got each other back, whenever bad or worse situations struck. Without all of you, I would be here today and be a good man."

"Agree!" says Lenard to his friend. "Without this man, I would've still remained in the prison for doing a terrible crime I wasn't even going to do it."

"By the way." says Carmen to Lenard. "What happened to the second personality?"

"It is finally gone." says Lenard to that table. "It took a lot of therapy, but I managed to find a way to escape it, in only five months."

"Great thing, boy!" says Tim to him, while everyone is clapping for Lenard.

Then, everyone is drinking the entire glass of wine, and proceed to eat the sliced pizza by the waiter who was slicing it while they were drinking the wine. They all took one slice of that pizza and eat it without any problem.

While they were eating, these five people were talking and having a good time at this restaurant, that until the closing time was coming, and at that time, all of them were leaving the restaurant, only Carmen who hasn't drunk much, was able to deliver these five people, on the van of Ramirez, to each one of their houses.
