Hayden saw the lie for what it was. A means to push boundaries, to see what Hayden would do. Coke was typically one of the more well stocked items in any bar -- sure they could have run out but Hayden doubted any of the people here were drinking Rum and Coke, or any of the other varieties of such a drink or the cola by itself. These were not those sort of people.
He leaned back and picked up the shot when offered. He raised the glass with a nod and then downed the burning liquid. Normally that would be his last shot, he'd follow it with a beer chaser in a bottle following that so he didn't get totally wasted while working. But he wasn't working. Though he still had to be careful he was technically on the job still. Just not the one he actually enjoyed.
And to that point he had to think up a semi-truth to tell because he hated lying. "Me? Truthfully, I'm here on a job. Just not the job." he said with a smirk. Though his father might disagree that this was the job and the bar was just the side thing. But fuck his father.
Hayden turned and looked around the car placing his elbows on the bar and leaning against it with his back to the model and his friend. Information about the night in the bar was slowly filtering to his mind as he tried to recall their names. He could look it up. Easy enough to do but it was more fun this way. "Though I'm only on wait and see until we get to China. Part one of the job finished not too long ago." He turned back around to his two companions. "I might be looking for something fun to do in the meantime." he said with hint of the underlying meaning behind things. He had to stay away from Nox, best way to do that was to entertain himself some other way. Though this crowd was unlikely to slum it as they say. But there were other sorts of fun, and drinking was one of them.
