It ended up in a fight, and Bruce actually knocked Vance out and left the bar that night. After Vance woke up at home (Ronnie got called in by the bartender.) Vance was impressed, not many if any, succeeded in doing so, so Ronnie did his computer magic and traced Bruce in a few hours. When Bruce was doing some mundane household tasks, the doorbell rang, Bruce grunted while opening the door, he slightly leaned against the door post as his eyes fell on a blue eyed Vance. "Well, look who it is, those blue eyes suit you." Vance grinned, offering him a job, Bruce gladly took it, it paid well, and he could blow off some steam.
