"Jedi babe!" Clyde smiled, giving Laura a nod. "Fuck. You don' shake her hand, Becca. You give'r a hug. Com'ere!"
Clyde let go of Mattie and Becca, not that he wouldn't grab them up again in a few, and pulled Laura in for a hug. No worries, he did not kiss her. He just gave her a good bear hug. The mechanic was in a damn good mood; who wouldn't be with this sort of company on this particular mission? Really lame ass people that's who.
With the hug over, Clyde settled back into, if they let him, holding Becca and Mattie. "Mike's got an extra arm. I think Avery could do with sharin' a lil for the night. Can't have you walkin' alone. Fuck, what good's a cop if he won' serve an' protect, right?"
Yeah, Clyde was giving everyone a hard time, but he wanted everyone to have fun. It wouldn't look right to have Laura walking all by herself.
