Apologies on the last chapter everyone. I thought the name of the diner was Bear's when I heard it in the show. I heard it again today and found that it was Baer's, and not Bear's. Anyways, here's another chapter of A Tale of Two Opposites. I hope you enjoy.
As Wyatt raced down the concrete, towards the diner, his mind started to realize what was going on at the moment, and it caused him to almost to trip. He had always liked Angie from the first time he met her, that's the reason he had saved her from the game in the first place and secretly why he took care of the leaks that kept popping up. He could never live with himself if even one of the leaks ended up hurting her.
Wyatt shook his head and snapped back into reality and continued to the burger joint, turning around the corner. He was too focused on his task at hand to hear that his phone was going off, more importantly, that his leak radar was going off. He finally reached the doors of Baer's Super Star Diner and headed inside. Resting his bag on a hook next to the door, he approached the counter.
"Hi, and welcome to Baer's Super Star Diner. I'm Amy, how can I help you?" The cheery cashier girl answered. "Hey there, can I get one Star Burger to go please?" Wyatt replied, tapping his fingers on the counter, trying to keep himself from getting over-excited. "Of course, one Star Burger to go coming right up." The cashier said, a smile on her face as she went back to the kitchen.
Wyatt smiled and sat at an empty table as he waited. He was gazing out of the window, when he heard a familiar beeping. Curious, he stood up and looked around, trying to locate the sound's origin. A thought entered his mind and he panicked, diving for his bag, pulling his phone out. He stared at the bright screen, which showed a familiar, red, dot at the very edge of the radar.
Thinking for a bit, Wyatt calculated the general location of the leak, based on the coordinates of the radar. Shock washed over Wyatt's face when he finished and he almost dropped his phone. The cheery cashier lady came back and handed him his food, saying, "Have a wonderful night". Wyatt stuck the paper sack in his bag and bolted out the door. "Please let me be wrong, just this once. Please let me be wrong, please let me be wrong." he kept reciting in his head as he rounded the corner again, picking up speed even more and the sweat starting to pour down his face. He reached Angie's doorstep and began to knock, when he heard a fearsome growl come from inside. That was it though, he didn't hear any scream at all, which worried him. He almost busted the door down as he opened and looked around. The living room was in shambles, but no one was there. He heard some rustling in the kitchen and slowly made his way to the wall of the opening. He peeked his head around the corner, and that's when he saw it.
Oooooh, cliffhangers. What is Angie's condition? Can Wyatt handle whatever is in the kitchen? All of these answers and more in the next chapter! The Duke
