The other seven were there waiting for him in the dining room and he was greeted with enthusiasm. Brian immediately asked about Bandit while Davey instinctively gave the tea to Jim even though they were in Danny’s home. They all sat at Danny’s dining room table while Jim made the tea and Danny took out a coffee cake. Davey observed there was a ritual to the tea making.
“When you get collared, Jim gives you a porcelain teapot. You’ve already got a cat from Brian, and brought the tea, all you need is the collar and the teapot,” Jamie said.
Davey couldn’t help himself and asked, “Did Bull really pay thirty thousand dollars for you?”
“For what he put Jamie through, it should have been fifty,” Greg chimed in.
“Yes, Bull was rather difficult to bring to heel.” Jamie pouted when the others giggled.
“All of them were except for Bear,” Jim said as he poured the tea.
