Fallen Moon

Chapter 51: A Slight Kink (Part 03)

Liley arrived at the restaurant connected to Kade's club. The troublemaker just got hired by Kade. No doubt he's going to come here to reek the benefits. After all, it's not like he could resist a free meal.

The outside of the restaurant was designed to look like a large lake house. There was an outside patio covered with tables with tents over them. The tents had an alligator design on them. The wooden railing had lights wrapped around it with life preservers tied between the railing. There was a small playground area with a sandbox and a small life-like alligator statue for kids to sit on and take pictures with. Above the door was the name: "Deep In The Bayou." Underneath it was an image of an Alligator with its jaws open ready to attack.

"The boy thinks he's so smart acting in the shadows foiling our plans. But in reality he's nothing more than just your everyday human. Unfortunately for him, dealing with humans is my specialty. Let's see if he can avoid me this time."

Liley walked into the restaurant. The inside was decorated to appear as if they were inside a swamp, they had plants posted around and alligators painted on the walls. There was a fountain dressed up to look like swamp water. It had an alligator head popping out of it to look like its swimming. There were tadpoles with frog statues on it.

Placed in front of the fountain display was the host and a podium was set up in front of him. He was dressed in an unbuttoned tropic shirt and jeans. He had on brown boots. "Welcome to the Bayou, home of the best Cajun food you'll ever-. Wait a minute, I know you're the Mayor of this town."

"Indeed I am," Liley answered.

"Hold up, Latisha said if you ever came to this here establishment. I was get her immediately so I'm gunna go do that." He went to leave but Liley placed a hand on his shoulder.

"That won't be necessary," Liley smiled at him. "Please treat me like you would any other customer. All I ask is for a table with a nice view of the entrance. You see, I'm here waiting for someone."

"Sorry mam but those is strict orders from my boss. So I must go and get her. Latisha don't like it when we don't listen. So excuse me while I go and get her." He walked off. Liley let out a defeated sigh. He returned walking beside him was a woman.

The woman had brown hair tied up in a ponytail. The hair tie had a pink lily attached to it. She wore a pink tropical floral T shirt. It was opened up to reveal some of her cleavage. She had on a blue jean skirt and boots. She wore golden hoop earrings.

"Hello there Liley, what brings you to this fine establishment?" Latisha shook her hand. "It's not everyday the mayor graces us with her presence. Let's get you seated," She grabbed a menu off the podium. "Right this way." Liley followed her. "So tell me where would you like to sit?"

"Somewhere with a good view of the entrance yet not so close that people could eavesdrop on conversation. I know it's a lot to ask but you see. I'm expecting someone to show up here and it's important that I talk to him." Liley explained.

"I got you girl, no worries." Latisha lead her to a booth in the far corner. It had descent view of the entrance and far enough away from the guests. They wouldn't be able to hear their conversation. The table had a tent on it reading "Reserved for Latisha and Kade. " She removed the sign off the table. "Have a seat girl." Liley sat down placing herself facing the entrance.

"Now," Latisha snapped her fingers at one of her waiters. He came over and handed her a pen and a notepad to write Liley's order on. "What can I get you to drink?"

"Sweet Tea would be nice. It's not too sweet is it?" Liley asked. "I'm not trying to have tea with my sugar. I want it to be a normal dose of sweetness. Is that possible?"
