That was until a drunken idiot came into the hall and made a nuisance of himself. The fraternity members were content to watch and laugh. When the drunk threw up, a woman came over to help him up. He apparently took that as a threat. He yelped and flinched back. That made him fall on his ass. She just sighed and tried to hold out a hand to him. She said "C'mon." He jumped up and shoved her to the ground. "You want a fight!?" he snapped. She yelped and saw her pants legs got vomit on them from the way she fell. People were looking and it did not look like anyone was going to step in. William was not going to stand for this. A woman was being threatened in front of him. He stood up and Jeremy did as well. They walked over and got in-between them. Jeremy helped the girl up to her feet. William said "It's time to leave, man." The drunk looked at him and said "It's not my fault! She's the one that charged at me." William just crossed his arms and said "Listen. We'll keep her away from you, so you can go." He looked at them and grumbled as he turned and left. That diffused the situation.
Doing that was enough to keep the peace. It almost made William wonder if things were not really over. However, they saw the drunk exit the hall and stumble down the block. The girls thanked them and told them that they were her heroes. "I was so scared. He was so fucking scary when he pushed me." she said. Jeremy looked at her warmly and said "It's alright. You never know what can happen. I thought it was really cool how you tried to help a bum like him out." William agreed with him. "It takes guts to step up." he said. She just sniffled and they walked her to her seat. The stain on her pant legs was starting to smell. Her friends took care of her from there. That was the end of the job that William and Jeremy had. They returned to the table to a hero's welcome. Oliver and his friends showered praised on the both of them for what they did. Jeremy was a bit embarrassed. "C'mon guys. Anybody would do the same thing if they had a blue Lock or Key like us." he dismissed as he rubbed the back of his head. "Hey. Anybody could. We were the ones that did. Don't worry." William said to him.
People passing by would nod at them they went on their way. They nodded back. William still had more steak to eat. The center of the meat was a bit too rare. It stained the rice pink. William just sucked his teeth and grumbled about it. He was still going to continue eating it. It simply tasted too good to put it away. He blamed it on the seasonings as he chewed. The asparagus was pretty good tonight. It was steamed to perfection, and he was able to chew on it once or twice before swallowing the whole thing. Aside from broccoli, asparagus was his favorite vegetable. When he was done eating that, there was still some rice to finish. It was the blood-stained rice from the steak. Oliver noticed it and said "Your rice is pink man. Did you pour juice on it or something?" That got others to notice it and they made comments as well. William had to explain what happened and they looked confused. "I've never seen that happen before." Jeremy said. "You still ate it?" his roommate asked. William could not tell what was going on. "It's not a big idea. It's just a little annoying. What's wrong with you guys?"
