A Killer's Instinct

VI. Diner Danger

No One's POV.

It was Monday morning, a week later, bright and early. Staysha didn't have to go into work until nine this morning, and Justin was going to drive her. When she finished dressing in her medical scrub t-shirt, black slacks, and white shoes she grabbed her jacket and purse and met up with Justin in the kitchen.

"Do you want me to make breakfast?" She offered.

He shook his head, "I'd reckoned we catch you a break and go out to a Diner." Justin told her.

"Oh, okay." She smiled.

He indicated for her to go and they headed into the elevator heading down the garage, getting into his Audi and he drove off the normal trail they use to leave the warehouse that was in the middle of the woods. Once they arrived in the city Justin hadn't driven too far until he pulled up into the Early Rise Diner parking lot. It was a small diner that serves breakfast for people who awaken exceedingly early for work or just overall.

The server greeted Staysha and Justin at the front door almost immediately, seating them down at an empty two-person table against the window. He handed him the menu before they went through it, they waiter had excused themselves to offer them glasses of water.

"What do you see on here that you like?" Justin asked.

"The Crab Eggs Benedict sounds appealing." Staysha told him. Justin looked at her with one eyebrow raised, lowering his menu to give her a full view of the repulsed look on his face. "What?" She giggled.

"Crab... Eggs... Benedict? That sounds gross." Justin said.

"Well it's not. There's a toasted English muffin, some eggs on top, topped with cook crab, and scrambled with tomatoes and spinach." Staysha described for him, but he wasn't looking too induced. "It's good!" She added.

"Yeah, I'm good." He shook his head.

"You'll regret it." Staysha sung in a taunting tone.

"I'm sure I won't." Justin said, pulling his menu back up to his face and skimming over it.

Once he found what he had wanted the waiter came back and took their order, only taking ten minutes until their food had arrived. Staysha immediately dug into her Crab Eggs Benedict. Justin looked at her funny.

"Can you please just try? I assure you that you will love it," Staysha said before sticking the fork out of the cut off piece from the food.

He gave her a repelled look before shaking his head, "Fuck no." He told her.

"Just try it before I shove it in your mouth." She said, moving the fork in front of his mouth.

"I will cut your fucking hand off." He tried to threaten but unintentionally let out a little chuckle.

She froze, "Holy shit." Her eyes enlarged.

Justin looked at her confused, "What?" He turned back around and saw no one behind him. He looked back at her dumbfounded, "What's going on?" He asked.

"I've never heard you laugh once for the past two weeks." She said.

"Don't get used to it." He grumbled before digging into his own food.

She sighed,  "Will you please try this?" She asked.

"If I do can you shut the fuck up about it?" He asked this time.

"Yeah," She nodded. She held out her fork and he stretched his neck and opened his mouth taking the food inside his mouth before munching. She repossessed her fork and looked at him with a wide grin.
