For lunch, they went to a cafe near the edge of town and sat down to eat but, Ray and Stanley won't stop talking.
"Did you see how Hazel looked at me?" Ray said, grinning as he unwrapped a straw from is wrapper.
"Ray, do you ever not think about girls? I mean can't we enjoy a meal here? And talk about something else,
like how Cassie was acting around me." They all started laughing a little but Ray and Stan were serious.
Meanwhile, the girls were standing outside of the cafe but, hiding behind Ray's car.
"You know" Hazel started. "Ray kept starring at me. I wonder if he likes me? What do you think Cassie?"
"I think you talk to much. Now be quiet or they will come out here and wonder what we are doing." Cassie said.
Hazel was thinking how Cassie was watching Stanley eat. It was obvious they were already falling in love.
"Cassie, why don't we go in and eat with them?" Hazel asked. She was not prepared to sit behind a car and spy on their co-workers during their lunch break!
"Well, because, ugh. Hazel, you sure no how to ruin a good secret mission! Alright fine! Let's go in and ask them if we can eat with them."
"Now you're talking!" Hazel and Cassie had been friends since they met in L.A. at the police academy. They would do everything together. They walked inside but, no one noticed them yet.
"Well, what are you going to say, Hazel? Cassie asked. She was not prepared to talk to their crushes!
"What? Are you crazy? I am not going to say a thing! You are!" Hazel said. She always thought of good plans but never has the guts to see them through!
"Don't yell! They will hear us!" Cassie answered, not realizing she was yelling herself.
Fraser then saw them come in and said, "Look! Hazel and Cassie just walked in!"
Ray and Stanley turned their heads so fast, to see if thy were actually there, that they nearly broke their necks!
"Hey, do you want to sit with us?" Meg shouted from the table.
"No! Don't ask them!" Ray said fast in a whisper.
"Yeah, we don't know what to say to them!" Stanley added.
"Oh, yeah, sure!" Cassie said as she walked over to the table.
"Hi, Ray." Hazel said very nervously.
"Hi, Hazel. So, um, tell me, why did you move from L.A. to the windy city?" Ray asked. Trying to spark a conversation.
"Oh, well, Cassie and I did not really get along very well with our co-workers and all of our family lives in Chicago!"
"Can I get you something to drink, Cassie?" Stanley asked hoping he could make a good impression on her.
"Sure, I'll have some tea." Cassie answered. They were making good impressions on each other but, Hazel and Cassie were lying to them.
Outside the cafe, a car drove by with two men in it.
"There they are." One of the men said.
"Hmm, eating at the cafe are they?" The other man said.
"They actually think they can hide from us!" The men started laughing as they drove away.
"Hey, are you alright, Cassie?" Stanley asked her. She was starring out the window as if she just saw a ghost!
"Yes, um, Hazel we need to talk. follow me!" Cassie said springing up from her seat. They walked into a corner of the cafe.
"It's them. They found us!" Cassie said to Hazel. Hazel was scanning across the restaurant briefly.
"What? Where?" Hazel said, looking worried.
"They just drove by the cafe."
"Did they see us?"
Cassie gulped then she nodded.
"What are we going to tell them, Cassie?" Hazel asked, worried that she would have to move away from her new friends.
"Nothing." Cassie's voice cracked a little. "Nothing, yet."
