Law Abiding

Chapter Two

{Dominic}

I just stare at the computer screen watching a woman half my size beating the crap out of three large men , with Agent O'Connor slumped on the ground .

The image is fuzzy but it's clear she knows what she's doing , her movements are precise and sufficient yet she is filled with a grace that almost makes it look like she could be dancing.

"Do we know who she is yet?" I inquire.

"No , her face doesn't match any database "

" I guess the next step in finding her is to ask around the area"

" Why do we need to find her sir ?"

" Because she put down two of Martinezes men without blinking and did it with a smile. We have to find her beacuas I think it's in the FBI's best interest to know who she is and what she's capable of"

*************************************

The following day we spent searching the area for the mystery woman. After hours of asking around and getting nowhere I was starting to get pretty agitated.

"Sir , maybe we should take a break , there's a nice cafe a few blocks from here. Maybe it'd be good if we took a step back and reevaluated ? " My collegue agent Harrington asked.

I dragged a hand down my face , he was right , I was just getting fustrated and my bad mood won't help anybody.  " Yeah I suppose , Harrington. Lead the way"

It was after lunch hour so the streets weren't crowded and the walk helped clear my head. 

As we neared the cafe I saw it was a quaint place with a homey feel. We stepped in  , a bell chimed, and the smell of good coffee and homemade baking hit us full force. I immediatley relaxed. " You were right Harrington , this is what we needed" 

Harrington turned around and smirked at me " I'm sorry Sir I'm gonna need you to repeat that first part again , I didn't quite catch it"

"Just sit down smartass , you're ruining my calm"

I checked them as soon as they walked in. Uptight. Check. Suits. Check Superiorty complexes. Check.

Ladies and gentlemen the Feds are in the building.

This wasn't a coincidence. My interfernce lastnight and them showing up today. Well I wasn't gonna panic and run. All I did was help a guy in an ally and maybe they won't recognize me. I'm a kick ass liar anyway. I have passed many a pollygraph test. Story for another time.

NO , I have brass balls mofo's. So I did what any insane person would do. 

I walked over to the two Feds sitting there all pretty. The one facing me had blond curly hair , killer blue eyes and laugh lines. Not bad , not bad at all. The one with his back to me had dark hair, almost black but not quite. More like a deep brown. Broad shoulders and from what I could see , golden tan skin.

As I approached the table I cleared my throat, came around the side so they could both see me and smiled. I made eyed conatct with both men , keeping my face blank and only showing what I wanted them to see. As my eyes met  Tall Dark and Handsome I had to struggle to keep my mask up beacuse God this man is gorgeous. I mean Wow. HOLY HAWTNESS BATMAN. He had perfect defined features , newly shaved face and beautiful green eyes. 

I saw recognition fleet across his face but what I didn't know was how. Mabye one of those facial composition artists ? Did that guy get a clear enough picture of my face?

Mask in place , I played the role of dutiful waitress. " Gentlemen , what can I get for you both? The apple pie is looking exceptionally scrumptous today." It was clear Blondy didn't recognize me 'cos he returned my smile with no recognition in his eyes and placed his order. " Hi , that apple pie sounds good and I'd also like an americano please." I smiled and replied " Sure thing , it'll only take a few minutes to whip that up for you"

"And what would you like sir? " The sir might have com out with a little bite. I have a thing for the title sir but Alice said it was polite and the custmers will think I'm standoffish if I don't use polite titles, or so Alice says. 

He stares for a second as if trying to weigh my character or some shit. Try all you want handsome. My body language is more controlled than most peoples bladders. 

" Just coffee. Black" I nod and smile. " Coming right up"

I head back over to the counter feeling his eyes on me the entire way. I make their orders up with an audience but I pretend I don't notice. 

I bring it over to them with a smile and ask if they want anything else but am gruffly dismissed by Tall Dark and Handsome. When I return to my position beind the counter I see the Feds coercing. I sigh and decide to just see how this plays out. I get back to work , clearing and wiping tables , taking orders and smiling at custemers. I don't remember the last time I gave someone a genuine smile or showed an honest emotion. It seems my mask and walls are up more oftern than not these days. Well , Alice gets and honest laugh out of me every once and a while. I think she can sense what type of person I am and so she's taking baby steps with me . I appreiciate it , I don't remember the last time someone cared enough to try with me.

I notice that the Fed's cups are empty and I take up my waitressing duty to check up on my custemers. 

" How was everything Gentlemen?" They both look up at me with appraising eyes. 

James Blonde speaks up first. " It was all delicious. Thank You."

" Your very welcome. I'll pass on your compliments to Alice, the maker of the scrumptous apple pie. Can I get you anyting else?"

Tall Dark and Handsome then decides to give us his input. " you must have a very good memory". I just stare at him completley dumbfounded. I guess this pretty face is just that , a mere pretty face , *insert me menatlly frowning at this sad discovery*. 

I give a non-committal " Uh-huh....care to elaborate on that out of the blue , completley random comment?"

A little colour enters his cheeks at my direct hit to his sanity and Blondy his just shaking his head as if he expected no less.

"I just mean that you don't carry a pad when taking orders or anything and you've gone to multiple tables taking orders at a time. It was just an observation"

Uh huh defo a Fed born and bred this one . " Well Sherlock , I was taking coffee orders not nuclear launch codes so I think my puny little brain can handle that feat , despite the challenge it appears to be." 

I'm met with silence for a few second and then Sherlock and Watson ask for the bill and leave.

Well well well wasn't that an interesting start to my shift. I wonder if they'll leave me be or come back to disrupt my peace again. For some reson I'm sensing the answer is the latter.
