I almost feel sorry for the poor sap. I feel like I should do something to help him out but there really isn’t anything within my jurisdiction that I can do. I walk up to the diner counter and take a seat; it feels as hard as a rock so I decide to stand up instead. I look over the counter to see JP knelt down sweeping up the shattered glass with a broken broom, “JP.” I said to get his attention, he stops sweeping and stands up taking out a piece of paper and pencil, “Welcome to Montie’s diner, what can I get for you?” he said in an extremely unenthusiastic voice. It was almost annoying. JP’s still in the feed, not as strong as he used to be but he’s there, I wonder why he would work a dead end job like this one. Nonetheless, it’s not my business, “I’ll take a coffee, no cream and four sugars.” I said as he wrote down the order on a sheet of paper.
A few minutes pass and JP just finished brewing the coffee but I was too fixated on the television screen to notice. I see Jodi as a news anchor reporting about the shops that has recently become the victims of robberies. I smile to myself, seeing her out of the feed and doing something else is a great relief. There wasn’t much that changed about Jodi except that she dyed her hair blonde; she was still the same old person I once knew. I should give her a ring soon.
The diner door slams open and I see Britt panting real hard as the rain continues to pour down on her causing bits and strings of her hair to fall down into her face, “CARL. We have to go. NOW.” The look on her face was a much more sneering one than usual. I hold up my finger signaling her to wait a few seconds as JP was almost finished pouring my coffee. She growls and stomps through the diner leaving mud prints with each step that she takes. She grabs hold of my ear and starts pulling me out of the diner, “Ow, ow, ow!” I yell wincing in pain as I do so.
Once outside the grip she had on my ear loosened from the rain and I pull free.
>G. “What the hell was that for?!”
>H. Go back to the diner and get your coffee.
>I. Get back into the car and listen to what it is she has to say.
