After spending the afternoon rearranging Ironhide's crater, Ben thinks he's calm enough to get a drink so he heads inside.

"What do you suggest ta get rid of some hatin'?" he asks with a bit of grump still in his voice.

A guy made of stone.

Now CJ saw everything. "A 110 in the Shade." CJ fishes out a frosted mug, rinses it in cold water, adds two shots of tequila and fills with lager.

Refreshing and packing an extra kick to undo anger-knots in the soul.

Ben takes the glass with his right hand and takes a sip. His left hand clenches and relaxes as if it had its own mind.

"'s good," he says. "I'm not much of a tequila drinker but I like wit' the beer."

"Everybody likes tequila. If you don't, just mean you didn't have it the right way." He nods. "Tequila makes miracles happen, sometimes."

Ben chuckles and replies, "I don't know, I've heard some crazy an' bad stories 'bout tequila. Granted they was told by Stark and he was bad an' crazy then."

"Half of 'em are true. But only if you go drinking blanco or mix peyote and mescal in it." Then you are up for some really weird shit.

"'Blanco'?" Ben asks. "Sorry I'm just a boy from New York, I have no idea what that is."

"Blanco." CJ fishes up a bottle of a clear liquid. "Is young tequila, just out of the still, burning with agave. People drink it and it eats 'em inside."

Then he picks the bottle of golden tequila. "This' the good stuff, anejo, aged to lose the acid burn and go down smooth."

"When the frat boys go down to Tijuana, they drink blanco, pay for anejo, wake up sick and wishin' to die. And when they go home they say it was fun."

Ben nods and tries to remember which Cj put in his beer. He can't so he says, "An' ya anejo in here right?"

[grovecj.livejournal.com]

And CJ nods. "Yeah. Blanco makes beer go flat."

"People drink blanco while getting high with peyote too. Risky stuff, they end going out to the desert, and bad stuff happens."

"You some kinda shaman or do ya just know this stuff fer recreation?"

"Nah, just know the right wrong people." CJ grins, shaking head. "Don't touch anything stronger than booze, and not that much anyway, but know some guys who are into this... expand you mind, thing."

"They keep getting in trouble."
