Yes it’s Back to the Future Day!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And of course what comes with this day – a Sylum Snippet<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Marty got out of his car, and grabbed his bag before heading into the small cafe.\u00a0 It was a local hole in the wall, that had some of the best poboys.\u00a0 He was greeted by the staff, as comes enough times to know them by name.\u00a0 He likes the place to grade papers, and just be away from the school or the house.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gabe sat his favorite sandwich with some collard greens and mac & cheese as his sides.\u00a0 He thanked him, then settled in going over his students history reports on the affects of reconstruction.\u00a0 \u00a0He was half way through his meal when someone sat down across the table from him.\u00a0 Marty looked up and blinked in surprise at who it was.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Mr. Westen.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Michael.”\u00a0 He gave him a warm smile.\u00a0 “Sam and I were taking time away from Miami, figured would stop by and say hi.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“In a restaurant in the middle of New Orleans.”\u00a0 He wiped his mouth, though couldn’t help the smile.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Jimmy told me where you were, after he threatened me.\u00a0 Protective cowboy.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s a mother hen.”\u00a0 Marty was as protective of Jimmy.\u00a0 “What brings you to Johnny’s.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“According to everyone it’s the best poboys around, and a must if roaming New Orleans.”\u00a0 He paused when Gabe brought over the lunch he had ordered at the front counter.\u00a0 \u00a0Westen bit back the smile as Gabe gave a questioning look towards Marty, who just nodded.\u00a0 “I’m glad to see you’ve got a protect racket going on consider circumstances.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m sure you’re pissing him off more than me just existing.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Oh existing is enough to piss a few people off.”\u00a0 Sam growls every time the name Larry comes up even if it has nothing to do with undead Larry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marty chuckled.\u00a0 “So what really brings you to my humble home grading spot.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Ah to help the next generation not to be idiots.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I try.”\u00a0 Some days it was harder than others.\u00a0 Lucky the kids loved him, and wanted to learn.\u00a0 Their parents and school board was another matter all together.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Sam is desperately trying to catch me up on all things pop culture.”\u00a0 Michael rolled his eyes in fondness over his Mate.\u00a0 \u00a0“And I was informed today was Back to the Future Day.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Is it really?”\u00a0 Marty grabbed his phone, and saw a few messages from Jimmy, Noah and Doc.\u00a0 “I forgot.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Figured be nice to spend it with someone who wasn’t there, and just curious on what the 50’s was really like.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Marty laughed. “Eat your sandwich and let me tell you about the Enchanted Under the Sea Dance.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
