Crazy Town

A gun

Eleanor's POV

'Can I get the chicken burger meal please' I order, the woman taps on the screen before telling me the total, I pay by card and wait a few minutes as she prepares my order and hands it to me on a plastic tray. 

It's quarter past two in the afternoon and Allison and I have just left the office to grab something to eat, we're due back at three. Mr Andrews asked a lot of questions before reluctantly letting me go on break, have you finished all the work? Where are you going to eat? What are you going to eat? How are you going to pay? I sit down at a table after grabbing a straw and some sauce packets, I'm soon joined by Allison who has her own meal on a tray, we fancied some unhealthy food today. Actually, I fancied unhealthy fast food today, I've been eating lunch with Mr Andrews almost every day and we'd only eat fish or sushi or healthy stuff, I found out he likes to eat healthy as he goes to the gym. Allison eagerly agreed when I told her I wanted to go and stuff myself full of burgers and fries. 

I dip a few fries into the ketchup before picking up my burger, I've missed this food. We talk casually about different topics, suddenly the restaurant grows quieter, with only some sounds of kids chatting loudly. I look up confused to see everyone mumbling quietly to each other and staring towards the entrance, I turn to look at the entrance and see three men walk in. 

The man who walk in first, stops and begins to look around the restaurant, he's dressed in all black with a thin gold chain hanging around his neck, his hair is sandy blonde and is styled a little messily, a few strands falling into his blue eyes. He stares at our table and then starts to walk towards us, I hear Allison swear quietly and I turn to look at her. Everyone else in the restaurant is now staring at us, still mumbling to each other. 

'Ally, it's good to see you' the man exclaims with a smirk as he stands at our table, the two men who entered with him stand behind him. Who is this guy? He pulls the chair beside Allison out and takes a seat, the other two men remain standing, staring down at us and occasionally looking up to glare at people when they overhear their mumbling. 

'What are you doing here?' Allison asks, he picks up a few of her chips and dips them in her ketchup before pushing them into his mouth, he ignores her question and looks at me instead. 

'Who is this? A friend of yours? I've never seen her before' he says with a smirk, I offer him a polite smile before looking back down at my half eaten burger. 

'This is Eleanor, she's recently moved to town, we work together' Allison briefly explains, he nods in understanding. 

He looks up at the other two 'Go get me some food and make it to go' he orders, I raise an eyebrow in surprise as I watch the two men walk away silently, going to do as they had been instructed. Do they work for him? Allison and the man continue talking, it's clear that Allison is growing annoyed with his presence but it doesn't take long for the other two men to return holding drinks and paper bags, he gets up 'Bye Ally, I'll call you this weekend'

'Whatever' she grumbles, pushing the remainder of her burger in her mouth at once.

'Goodbye beautiful' he winks at me before walking away with the other two men, as he turns around, his leather jackets moves to the side and my eyes widen in shock as I catch a glimpse of a black gun tucked into the waistband of his jeans. He has a gun? Who is this guy?

I turn back to Allison after I watch them exit, still shocked. 'Who is he?' I ask, leaning forward slightly over the table, I watch her swallow the mouthful of burger before she answers me. 

'That's Logan Fisher' she states, I continue staring at her, the name means nothing to me, 'He's part of a gang, he's the leader' 

My mouth drops open 'You know someone who's in a gang?' 

She rolls her eyes 'I don't just know him, we hooked up a few times over the past couple of months, I kind of like him but I could never be with him, he's not loyal and doesn't get into relationships' 

I nod slowly as she picks up her drink, I turn back to finish the rest of my burger and fries, he's the leader of a gang, that probably explains why he has a gun. I can't help but remember the newspaper article I read when I first moved in to this town about a victim being shot in the crazy hospital and about the other victims who have been either shot or stabbed in the hospital. Could it be him? He's obviously killed people before and carries a gun with him so maybe it's him that's killing the old crazy people in the care home.

But that's strange, why would he target old crazy people? Most gangs target other gang members or young people, why would he kill people in a hospital? I might be overthinking it, just because he carries a gun and is the leader in a gang it doesn't mean that he's the one killing people, besides I'm pretty sure the police would have found out if it was him, right? 

'Let's go, we've got fifteen minutes' Allison interrupts my thoughts, I nod and pick my trash to throw in the bin as we exit. We walk back to our work building in silence, the elevator ride up is a bit awkward but I don't want to break the silence, Allison seems a little annoyed after the run in with Logan Fisher. As we step off the elevator she smiles a little at me before walking to her desk and sitting down, I smile back and head into my office, closing the door behind me I jump as I turn around.

'What did you eat?' Mr Andrews is leaning against my desk, his muscular arms folded over his broad chest, making me lick my lips. 

'Um, we ate burgers and fries' I tell him, a little confused as to why he is in my office. 

He makes a face and rolls his eyes 'Fast food, how disgusting' 

I shrug a shoulder 'I wanted something different from sushi and seafood' 

I walk past him and sit on my desk chair, he stands up and turns to face me, uncrossing his arms. 

'I already told you that seafood is better for you and it doesn't remind you of human meat' he speaks, I frown. 

'That's disgusting, how would you know what human meat tastes like? I don't even understand how chicken would remind you of human meat' I say in disgust. He just stares at me in silence before turning around and exiting, I watch him through the glass as he walks into his own office and sits at his desk, picking up a pen as he begins reading through different pieces of paper, what a strange man. There's something about him that just creeps me out.
