A Musician's Tale

Chapter 2: Precautions

-Cannon/Catherine’s pov-

After the kids asked about Bella Notte I let them play their game then go to sleep. But I couldn’t help but wonder… 

‘Who told them about Bella Notte? A friend from school? It would be almost impossible, there is only one musician in their school. Their music teacher.’ 

It was Saturday today but I still had work. The kids would either hang out with their friends, but asked me first of course, or stayed at home playing with their ps4.

I worked in a small cafe called ‘Jade Fox Cafe’ owned by a friend. Only very few people know who I am and she’s one of them.

It wasn’t near so I take my bicycle to work every day. I loved the wind in my hair and missed traveling. Maybe I’ll take the kids… Someday.

I arrive at work and chain my bicycle. “Hi, Sam,” I greeted. Sam was a Brunette with brown doe eyes.

“Oh, hi, Catherine, the Sando special and an arctic fox milkshake at table 7 please~” She said carrying four trays at once.

I laugh. “Let me get changed first,” I said walking straight to the changing room.

“Okay!” She said happily rushing to the kitchen to get the other orders.

After I get changed I relieve Sam of a few trays and serve table seven’s order.

“Is the boss here yet?” I asked passing Sam.

“Ah, no, I think she overslept again,” Laughed Sam.

“Excuse me?” Jade had just arrived and just in time to hear what Sam had said.

“Oops! I think chef is calling me~” Said Sam running to the kitchen to put in her dishes and get more orders.

“You always have the best timing.” I said jokingly.

“Of course I do,” She said with a small hair flip. Jade was a brown skinned filipina who had hazel eyes, and long straight black hair that shone gold when hit by the sun.

“But she was right wasn’t she?” I asked, poking her arm.

“Umm, maybe? Kinda…” She said sheepishly.

I laughed then continued working it was 3pm already then I was relieved from my shift.

I changed then went to Jade’s office. “Are you ready to go, Catherine?”

She wears her black leather jacket and holds her bike helmet and tosses me one too.

“Yeah, let’s go.” We get on her bike and ride to her house.

When we arrive she turns to me before opening the door.

“What’s wrong?” She asked.

“What?” I said confused.

“You haven’t said anything the whole ride something's wrong. Is it about the boys?” She asked worriedly.

“Well… They did request something I didn’t think they would.” I said hesitantly.

Opened the front door then gestured for me to come inside.

We went to the living room then sat down. “So, what happened?” She asked.

“Well… The boys they-- They asked to go to Bella Notte.” Jade’s eyes went wide and I thought she was going to blow her fuse. But she didn’t.

“It’s already dangerous to live like this, in plain sight, but now you want to go to a musician’s gathering?” It was much worse than her shouting at me. I got chills listening to the tone of her voice.
