Prophecies Heroes

Chapter 36

It's now 10pm, the hotel alive once more, people walking in every direction for the restaurant or the night activities accessible through the backdoor garden, the windows replaced, the hallway cleaned, the restaurant in order, Sarah back at her post of receptionist, she was lying on her right hand elbow on the counter, looking left and right at anyone potentially coming, she looked left at the restaurant and people waiting at their tables forearms crossed, other looking at a certain table, the fourth one in the middle range, where Phil was with Vinc, facing each other, Phil eyes were red and Frank in control for the time being. He looked left at the entrance seeing Sarah looking this way, smiled showing his white teeth and looked behind him on his left at the kitchen door, Vinc hands crossed on the table, stoic and thoughtful, looking at their hands while waiting, Phil looked back at Vinc and stopped smiling, he looked intensively at them eyes squeezed waiting for a reaction, but nothing. Frank/Phil stopped and exhaled with a concerned expression.

Frank: What are you even sad about?

He leaned a bit forward trying to close the distance on the 3 meters long table.

Frank: You are here, i am here, she is missing but she will come someway, i know that for sure.

Vinc looked up at Frank, eyes grey and dead, they smiled and looked back down.

Vinc: Just-

They inhaled loudly.

Vinc: Tired from these few hours.

Frank straightened, raised his right hand at his head and pointed with his index at his eyes.

Frank: They are grey, and even as forgetful as i am, i remember this means you are either sad or confused.

Vinc looked up at him with a smile, eyes closed, they kept them closed.

Vinc: Try to guess now.

Frank down his hands on the table and leaned forward and put his right hand under his chin

Frank: huuuuuh?

People around looking at the kitchen door unhappy, inside, the cooks and the Chief on their workspace cutting, sliding vegetable on their rights, other cooks, doing laps around to give the ingredients from the freezer such as the meat, the fish and more, they were all sweating and almost breath cut, the 4 waiters at the door waiting in front eating their their finger nails, they looked at their right at the cooks.

"Is it soon ready?"

"They are looking madder as time passes and the Boss's son is-"

"Nah he is Ok with the wait."  

The waitress always afraid from this morning, looked quickly through the door window at Frank trying to make Vinc smile back genuinely.

(thoughts)" Am i forced to?"

She looked at the cooks inside, the cooks looked at them a bit mad.

"Be useful you 4 and tell them to wait 5 more minute, the meals are almost ready."

She nodded, the 3 others went out, she kept looking at the cooks.

"Why is it taking so long? we have only 50 people to serve after the incident."

One of the cooks looked at his right at her, while slowing down a bit.

"Imagine a man who needs to eat for 50 to stay alive."

She nodded, then closed her eyes shaking her head.

"It would be a catastrophe, we only prepared ourselves for 50."

The cooks next to the one speaking gave him a elbow tap in the flank, he looked left at him, nodded and looked at his right back at her.

"The Boss's son is this type of person, this is why he collapsed before the lunch."
