                  F&F eatery!

"Thana, look carefully" Clark said beside me.

I dropped my phone on the table and nodded at him, to let him know I'm listening...my eyes remained focused at the scene before us.

We're currently sitting round a table, in a restaurant right opposite Molina's retirement home.

"I discovered something very interesting" he said again and paused.

Can he just finish his words in a go? I have very important things to do than listening to him blab about his date.

"Those security men patrolling the place, can you see them?" He asked.

I faced him and realized he's pointing at the security men guiding the retirement home.

"Yes? What's with them?" I asked, then turned my gaze back to the security men.

"They are spies, they're not real security men"

I rolled my eyeballs and shook my head, then poured him a glass of water.

"Clark, tell me something I don't know" I told him, dumping the glass of water in front of him.

"What do you mean? I gave a very useful information, don't you think you should be thanking me?"

"I already know they're fake, that's why we're sitting here... observing them" I replied him.

He kept quiet, I could feel him staring at me. He reached for the glass of water and finished it in one gulp.

He sighed dramatically.

"Anyway, I've done my part and I think I should leave since I'm no longer needed here" he said.

He got up and wanted to leave, but I pulled him back on his chair.

"Nobody is leaving, not until my mom's gotten out successfully"

Clark glared at me and shrugged my hand off him, he shook his head.

"I thought I'm useless now and you're ready to discard me"

I smacked his head.

"Quit being dramatic, this is not the time" I scolded him.

He grumbled a few words under his breath, but soon shut his mouth and we stayed in a comfortable silence.

Until...

"Right, I got Angel involved in our plan" Clark said.

I frowned slightly and faced him.

"Angel? Why did you get her involved?" I asked.

"Because she's a skilled fighter, she's the perfect substitute for your mom" he explained.

I shook my head in disapproval.

"No, we can't risk Angel's safety"

"Hey! Are you looking down on my sister?"

I sighed.

Angel's Clark elder sister, she's married and lives with her husband and three kids in Italy.

"She's great but... "

"Don't worry about her safety, have you forgotten she has her Kung Fu school...this is nothing to her"

I nodded.

"Fine.. but, how did you get her to come from Italy for this?"

"I didn't invite her for this, so don't feel too special"
