You climb along the line of buttons going up the center of his shirt until you reach the counter. A quick hop off and you land on the sticky surface. The owner of the bar really needs to keep it cleaner! Your feet are practically glued in place as you try to figure out the best place to get the officer's attention.
"Hey Buck! Could you get an off duty officer a pint and some peanuts?" His deep bass voice vibrates through the air around you. Damn but he's loud!
"Sure thing Cliff." Buck answers back. A moment later a pint of beer comes sliding down the counter right at you! You run and take a flying leap out of the way as it goes flying past you into Cliff's hand. If you hadn't managed to dodge it then you would have been caught in the impact between glass and flesh and, most likely, flattened. Your vision gray's out a little as you have a not so small panic attack.
"And the peanuts." Buck says as he walks over to Cliff with a bowl in hand. Right before he sets them down he trips over something and slams the bowl down against the counter. Peanuts go skittering across the countertop around you.
"Sorry about that. I haven't wiped down that counter today. Want a new bowl?" Buck asks him.
"Nah, it's fine. I don't mind some dirt. Does a body good." Cliff says. He picks the bowl up. It flies inches over your head and then under the edge of the counter in his grip. You hear a scratching noise behind you and turn around to see his other hand sweeping all of the scattered peanuts together. You're directly in the path! You watch his gigantic hand come flying at you. This time there's no dodging. You try to brace for the blow but before you have a chance you're swept up by him into the salty maelstrom. You land along with the nuts right in the bowl.
