Rosewood Mysteries

Early Morning Contacts

The rain lightly touched the petals of the roses across the alley way where Kyle sat drinking his coffee. He was thinking about a party he went to the night before and who he had met there while trying to open the bottle of Tylenol he had in front of him. 

After a moments time, the lid popped off causing all of the pills to spill out onto the floor. With a deep sigh, Kyle stood up from his seat, knelt down by the table, and started picking up the pills one by one. He was almost finished when the bell above the door rang out and caught his attention. 

There she stood soaked, drenching with coldness as she shook out her umbrella and hung up her coat at the nearby coat rack. She looked around and found a table to her liking and moved to sit at that table, catching a glimpse at her nearby surroundings. She smiled and extended her hand  in the air as her party joined her and the waitress set two cups of coffee down at the table. 

Kyle went back to picking up the last of the Tylenol that he had spilled, still keeping his eyes focused on the woman in the corner booth. He didn't realize his head was still under the table, and when he stood up, felt a sharp pain. 

"Damn it!" he said as Kyle rubbed his head sitting back in his seat. He looked over at the mystery woman and her guest hoping he didn't give himself away. He quickly scrambled up to his seat as the waitress came over with his order that he placed before she had even gotten there. Kyle sat and watched as both she and her companion talked amongst themselves. He couldn't quite place where he had seen her before but he knew he had met her somewhere before that exact moment.

Just as he was about to give up trying to remember, another part of the mystery woman's party came through the door and this time he recognized who it was. A very tall man with dark hair and a salt-n-pepper colored goatee approached her table and quickly sat down without any hesitation. He then opened his jacket and reached into his pocket pulling out a yellow envelope.

 Kyle tried to get a look at what the guy put down in front of her, but he just couldn't quite make out what was in the package.  Just as he tried to lean forward enough to hear, his chair tipped over causing him to fall off to the side and onto the floor. Without hesitation, he quickly got up, and looked around to see if anyone noticed. Then as he sat back down, the bell chimes once more, and In walked the last person Kyle ever thought he would see....
