It had been a very busy Friday night in August of 1997 for Stephen being a bodyguard to U2's Bono at The Kitchen nightclub. This job was always the most draining and toughest job Stephen worked. There were rambunctious fans who would get into typical bar fights that would lead to beer flying. On many occasions, they would get too close and Stephen would have to break it up. 
It was time for Stephen to go on his break from guarding Bono and his VIP table area. Another guard came up to take over so Steph could get 30 minutes to himself. "Alright that's it. I will take it from here Stephen.", said Eamon. "Right. Well I am off to the bar for a pint. These crazed fans are driving me mad. Let me know if they give you any trouble. I will be at the bar near the dance floor.", said Stephen. He walked all the way from one side of the building to the other where the bar was. Taking off his ear piece, a bartender came up Stephen asking, Right, what will it be?". Stephen replied, "Pint of Guiness." Within two minutes, the bartender scooted the pint across the bar table to Stephen. "Thanks.", he said. As he took a sip of his drink and let out a sigh, a woman who appeared to be no younger than twenty walked up to the bar. She and her friends were just let in the nightclub from one of Stephen's co workers. The woman's drink choice was a concoction of Redbull and Vodka. Stephen gazed over at the woman as she ordered her beverage, and  he said to her, "You seem like a Redbull and vodka type of person." She looked over at him smiling and replied, "And you are definitely a Guiness type." They both smiled at each other, and then came the Redbull Vodka drink. "Right, there ya are miss.", said the bartender. "How much do I owe you?", said the woman. "It's on me.", said Stephen. "Put it on my tab." He looked over to her and gave a wink. Stephen paid for both his and the lady's drinks. "I have to go back to my post. I bodyguard for Bono at his table.", he pointed to the other side of the nightclub. "I'm Stephen by the way.", he reached out his hand smiling. "My name is Rachel.", she took his hand smiling and shaking his hand. They both had a moment of gazing into each other's eyes as if they were past lovers that had come together in a new life. "Rachel, ya let me know if you need anything tonight.", said Stephen as he got up and walked back to Bono's table. "Thank you, I will.", said Rachel. 
Rachel and her friends danced almost all night. As she danced and had a few more drinks, she found herself looking over at Stephen to see if he was watching her dance. She could sense feelings for him coming on once the club was about to play its last song and close until the next night. She sat out on the last song at the bar where she met Stephen and all she could do was look at him and fall in love with him more. 
The nightclub had closed for the night at 5 A.M. and Rachel was out in the back talking with her friends while they had a smoke. Stephen walked out of the back door and both him and Rachel locked eyes. "Excuse me for a moment guys.", said Rachel. She walked over to Stephen with a smile on her face and her heart racing. "Here is the phone number and my e-mail to contact me.", said Stephen as he handed her a napkin he wrote on. "I will e-mail you after I wake up from my slumber.", said Rachel. Stephen went home and he thought of Rachel until he fell into a deep sleep.
