Kim Crawford - Assaggio, Italian Restaurant - 8:37 (PM)

''How may I help you?'' A middle aged waiter, white hair dangling over his forehead, some swept to the back with gel.

''Yes, thank you. Reservations for Miss and Mister Jones''

''Ah yes, follow me.'' He started walking off towards the crowded room, while me and Jack looked at each other and smirked, then followed the waiter.

As he seated us to a round table for two, we sat near each other and put the menus over our face, whispering.

''You go in the kitchen, saying you switched it for the bathroom. As they're distracted, I'll enter and find Mr. Johnson.'' He lowered the menus and looked around. He pulled out a pen and scribbled something on the expensive looking napkin, the thick material hard to write on.

He rolled it around the pen and stuck it in my pocket, then shooed me off, waving his hands.

I walked to the kitchen, and believe me, it was possibly harder than any mission, apart from this one, obviously. Walking in 8 inch stilettos without anything to hold onto. No joke.

I swung the doors open, the smell inviting.

''Excuse me, can we help you?'' A man with a large white hat and a long white apron asked, arms crossed.

''Oh, I'm sorry, is this not the bathroom?'' I lie, looking around.

''Does this look like a bathroom?'' A woman, dressed like the man, said, slightly angry.

''Do you really want me to answer?'' I wonder and lean against an unexistant counter, faking a fall. ''My -My ankle. It hurts'' I yelp in pain, closing my eyes and thinking of anything to help me not laugh.

From the corner of my eye, I see Jack easing his way unnoticed, heading towards the back room, the so called 'freezer' although I'm not so sure about it.

Suddenly I'm lifted off my feet and brought outside, noticing an ambulance situated right outside the restaurant.

Jack Brewer - Assaggio, Italian Restaurant - 9:02 (PM)

I sneak under counters and tables, flour and spices occasionally leaking from the wholes and falling on my newly washed hair.

The kitchen freezer is probably the best place to hide something, or someone.

The freezer room is secretly connected to Mr. Johnson's garage. Considering the fact that his front lawn, hidden by gigantic walls which I assume are to protect him, is directly facing the prestigious yet cozy restaurant, it's quite easy to find a way to get there without being noticed.

Kim and I researched about it and found, well basically nothing. (apart from the fact that they have a spectacular 5 star pizza and use one too many types of spices on the penne all'arrabbiata that is) That's when Milton comes in.

He found out that the restaurant was founded in 1957, and before was a house that belonged to a middle class family. It was then restored a couple decades ago, and now is a cozy family restaurant. That is until you find out that there are top notch evil secret spies in the 'broken' freezer storage room.

I waddled on my knees towards it, each step more shaky than the previous one.

I finally reach my destination just as the ambulance arrives to help Kim with her 'disclocated ankle injury' and everyone scurries toward the small kitchen window situated on the door, trying to get little peeks of the situation.

I count that as an opportunity and swiftly open the door nob with a small key and a metal modifiable stick Milton suggested, more like forced, me to bring.

I almost jump inside the room and I feel them start to turn around, so I push my back towards the door in hope to close it fast enough.

I move my face towards the lock, looking though it. Thankfully, no one noticed.

Just as I'm about to sigh a stern yet mocking voice beats me to it, speaking slowly, too slowly.

''Well hello there, mr. Curious. Let me guess, you were looking for the bathroom'' his voice brings shivers down my spine as his deep, dry laugh fills the room.

"Wait whaaaaaaat? I waited so long (pfft does anyone even wait for my books lol) and you came up with this crappy chapterrr?"
Well, first of all, rude much? 😂😂😂
Second of all, I just got a new IPhone (Heppy llama in the house y'all😂) and I'll probably be writing more from there from now on, so I wanted to get this out of my system...? 😂
