Chapter 20
I closed the door behind me and I greet everyone as I go in and take my seat by the counter. I greet Chantel and Tyrell turns to nod his greeting. I put my keys on the counter and rub my head.
Chantel comes closer and smiles, "difficult day?" she asks and I nod. She then asks, "So what can I get you today?"
I sigh and say, "Make it a sour. A double please..." I look to see what's the special, "can I also get today's special." She nods and go places my order.
"Eating at Timmy's tonight? Thought you'd be wining and dining with the town's elite class." Said Tyrell.
I just rolled my eyes and sighed again, "nah, I aint got time for that. Anyway Wayne and I both felt its best I don't go. If I'm with, he can't leave early. Anyway I worked a long shift today so they'll understand if I aint with him.
Tyrell snorted, "But you're here at Timmy's."
I nodded, "yeah Wayne suggested it. He even dropped me off. Also believe me when I say this. He's gonna want to have a strong drink after spending time with those elite folks."
Tyrell nodded, "okay I get it."
I looked at him and noticed his hairstyle, "what's with the Miguel look?"
He smirked and touched his hair, "you noticed. Well I've got the hair for it so you know. If you got it..."
He took a sip of his drink and I rolled my eyes. Chantel brought my drink and I thanked her. I took a sip and savoured the flavour. It's a good brand. I then thought about what Wayne would be doing now and couldn't help but smile. He's attending a fundraising dinner and the top dogs of the town will also be attending.
In other words, boring. I've went with him a couple of times and almost died of boredom. Tonight he felt he aint staying long. So with me not being there he has an excuse to leave earlier.
After a few minutes Chantel brought my food and I looked at Tyrell. I then asked Chantel for an extra fork and I shared my meal with Tyrell. The plate was almost empty when I heard the news opening sequence playing on the TV. I took a last bite and pushed the plate to Tyrell.
While I'm watching the news, I took a sip of my drink and shook my head. It's just all about former Agent Cecilia Harris. It was being reported that there's now officially an investigation being opened at the State Bureau on certain cases agent Harris had investigated. From what was being explained by the news anchor it's the most controversial cases in the state.
There was a loud whistle next to me and Tyrell just shook his head.
Tyrell turned to look at me and said, "This is going to be in the news forever." I nodded and took a sip of my sour which was now empty. I looked at Chantel and showed her my glass.
She reached for my glass just shook her head, "damn do ya'll think the convictions on those cases will be overturned."
I sighed heavily and said, "I hope not but I guess we'll have to wait and see."
I could see Chantel had a thought on her mind and turned to look at me, "Licia do you think they're gonna question you and Roy again?"
I frowned, "I don't know. Wayne said it was likely. He did say it could be months or years but he thinks it'll probably only be after the case is solved. He can't be sho either cos there's so much bureaucratic shit involved as well. So we're just gotta be prepared for a subpoena."
"Yeah it all comes down to the suits." Said Tyrell and we all nodded in agreement.
Chantel shook her head, "they get to control everything. They don't even consider the fact that the people who were affected by it personally. Are still affected by it."
