I opened the door expecting it to be mom. I was scared that she would get angry at me for cooking alone but it was worse. It was 3 people all in black except for their faces the one it front was a tall pale, lean man who had a black tuxedo and a black fedora. There was a woman behind him to his left. She had dark brown hair that was in a perfect rolled bun. She had a pale but still tan skin tone and was skinny and flat chested. She was wearing black sunglasses (like the ones in the Matrix) and a short black dress with sleeves that went to her elbow. To the man's left there was a tall buff man who was bald. He had a dark skin tone. He was wearing a black tux with a black shirt underneath and red tie. He had the same glasses as the girl. As I stared up at them trying to recognize them the man front and center spoke. He had a calm but stern voice. His voice was high and assertive.
"Are you the daughter of Aliza Katoroki?","yes I am and who are you?" I replied trying to act like I wasn't scared. Dad had always told me not to show my feelings to strangers.
He said that his name was Leon and the woman to his lefts name was gin. The man to his right spoke in a deep voice and said "lotus". I guessed that his name's matt. Then I asked them if they would like to come inside and they agreed.
They came in and sat on the couch. I asked " would you guys like any thing?" Leon said he didn't mind ,anything would do. Gin and wanted a tea and lotus wanted black coffee. As I walked over to get the stuff I started to talk to the guests. I asked them simple question s like what there favorite restaurant was. Leon was the most talkitive one. Gin was pretty quiet and only talked when she felt the time was right. While lotus just sat in silence ocanionally looking at me in the eyes. When I gave them their refreshments I observed how they acted. Leon was overjoyed at the perfect pancakes. Gin said "arigato" which after she told me it was Japanese for thank you. Lotus just nodded. As I walked back into the kitchen. I said "I can't let you have all of the black coffee Lotus that's mom's favorite." Leon started to choke on the pancake in his mouth, Gin froze and Lotus sprayed his coffee out of his mouth like a broken fountain. I was startled and ran into the kitchen to grab paper towels. Why did they react to my remark like that?.....
