Just as Yuki passes out on the cot, the sound of the bar's back door is heard opening. It is the DJ. He looks around the bar, then at the barricades.
"Aw man. Someone tossed my turntable in the barricades again...And just when I got that old van up and running again so I could pick up that table..."
The DJ spots Sarpek come down from the elevator.
"Hey Sarpek. You know who tossed my turntable in the 'cades? Also, where's that lady friend of yours? Don't tell me she ran away from ya."

"Hey, DJ! Long time no see. First, your stuff had been lying there for ages. Yuki, the girl you saw here, was looking through the stuff over there, and the turntable fell over. I also locked away the zombie virus syringes in my warehouse for safekeeping."
"As to your other question, she got drunk off her ass on Sake, and started hitting on me. She's upstairs sleeping it off. She really deserves someone better than me. I mean, I sit around in a bar all day and tinker with gadgets, and half the time I'm dead."

"So let me get this straight. She didn't start hitting on you until she was dead drunk, huh? And here I thought you actually found a nice girl in this damned city."
The DJ sits down at the bar.
"Lemme get a Red Bull with some vodka. I know you have 'em. I've only sent in a supply shipment earlier today, now."
The DJ takes out a newspaper.
"The newspaper business is being rubbed by a few groups around Malton. Not sure if you've been up to date on anything, but here's last week's paper. Lots of crazies running around. There's a Mudkip or something causing chaos, and some guy named Jayson Exccks is terrorizing everyone-zombies, survivors, PKers-with a rusted chainsaw. Crazy days, ya know. Makes me wonder where I would be if I never took that vacation to Malton in the first place."

"And that's the reason I kept the concrete slabs in place. Started running out of drinks today, though, so I opened the place up again, and now look where we are. The old gang's getting back together. By the way, I used Vito's Behemoth to save myself from a horde earlier. Think he'll be pissed?" Sarpek serves the DJ his drink.

"Who knows? I haven't heard from Vito lately. It's not much of the old gang if it's just the two of us left."
The DJ takes a drink.
"So I'm guessing the lil' girl came in just today?"

"Yeah. She showed up about an hour after I smashed through the concrete. We had a few drinks, got your supply drop, fought off a horde, she shot me, and you know the rest." He has a sip from a bottle of rum. He looks down at his leg, neatly bandaged with the leg guard over it. "Big change from the old days. Back then, I would have just stood right up again. Now, people want to keep me alive."

"So I take it she's a doctor. I also take it that since she shot you, she's not much with firearms, huh?"
The DJ finishes his drink.
"Well, that's enough drinking for me, seeing that I'm driving tonight. Not that anyone really cares much for drunk driving these days..."

"Yeah, she's a good medic, but not much good for gunnery. Hey, you could stay here tonight. We've got plenty of room upstairs."

"Well, I just had some vodka with Red Bull, so I doubt I'll be getting any sleep done tonight."
The DJ spots Yuki's open bag, some of the contents scattered on the table from when Yuki grabbed a few first aid kits to patch up Sarpek.
"This girl sure is overprepared for medical emergencies. The only weapon she has is that one pistol, with only two spare clips. Although with what you've told me, she's probably a bad shot with that pistol. Maybe you should train her or something."
The DJ walks towards the door.
"Well, I'm off to empty my van of cigarettes. You need a pack? Or any other supplies for that matter? I'll do a quick drive-by and pick some up."

"I don't smoke, and you've refilled our alcohol stocks. Just bring me anything from electronics or hardware stores that looks interesting."

"Got it."
The DJ takes his leave. A few minutes later, Sarpek's phone buzzes. A text from the DJ reads, "You should probably take the girl's belongings to whatever room she's in. Who knows? She might need something when she wakes up."

Sarpek shuts Yuki's bag, and walks upstairs. He quietly opens the door, careful of the squeaky hinge, and places the bag just inside.

A good six hours have pass, with nothing interesting happening. Yuki wakes up with a hell of a headache.
"Ugh...How much sake did I have last night...?"
Yuki looks around.
"Huh? Who's bedroom is this?"
Yuki gets up and explores the room. A hand mirror is lying on the dresser, covered in dust. Yuki picks up the mirror, brushing some of the dust off. She notices "Property of Mel" engraved on the back.
"Who is Mel?"
Yuki spots her bag on the floor. She opens her bag, and takes out a pair of clean clothes from a secret compartment in her bag. Within fifteen minutes, she is downstairs in the bar. She's currently wearing a white short sleeved sailor shirt with a red necktie and a plaid skirt. She notices Sarpek.
"Hey, Sarpek. Who's Mel? I found a hand mirror with Property of Mel engraved on the back."

"Erm, I'd appreciate it if you could put that back." Sarpek sighs. "Mel was the original owner of this bar. Everyone liked her. Best damn Ranger I've ever met. She disappeared a while ago, and nobody knows where she went. I like to think she found a way out of this hellhole..."

Yuki places the mirror back. In a few minutes, she's back down in the bar. She lies her head down on the counter as she takes out an ice pack and places it on her head.
"Ugh...That's the last time I drink so much sake..."
