CHAPTER 2
My alarm went off startling me awake. I reached down and felt around for the alarm clock. The alarm seased to ring.
"Anyone mysterious go in the diner last night after 6:00," a voice said from the darkness of my room.
"Holy crap," I said jumping out of my skin. I sat up in my bed and waited for my eye's to adjust to the pitch black room. I saw the outline of Taals figure blocking the door.
"No," I said trying to slow down my racing heart. "How did you get in here," I asked
"I have my ways," he chuckled.
"Yes, well do your ways have to scare the piss out of people," I said with anger replacing my fright.
"Not always, you'll get use to me popping in once in awhile to check up on this place," He said. I could feel that he was smiling at me.
I reached out and pulled on the string to the light bulb in the middle of the room. The light filled the room blinding me for a minute. In that minute Taals came over and sat beside me on the bed.
"Don't you have work to get to," he asked.
"Yes," I said getting up. I grabbed my uniform and went into the bathroom to get changed.
When I walked out of my bathroom dressed in my uniform he was gone. I didn't even hear him open that creeky old door. There is something odd about this FBI agent, he feels inhumen to me. Neah, it's just my imagination acting up. He could have gone out while the water in the sink was runnin.
I opened the door and stepped outside. The sun was peeking over some of the small roof tops, it casted a orangish glow in the sky. I squinted my eye'ss to see more clearly for the sun's glow was beginning to reflect off the the glass windows of the building across the street into my eyes. I walked down a short way and entered the heavy metal door to the kitchen.
"Get your apron on we got our first costemer," my boss said.
I grabbed my apron and put it on. I tied it in the back as I came around the corner. I looked up and was instently mad. Taals sat there smiling politly at me.
"Are you stalking me or something," I said as I walked up to his table.
"Why, yes I would love a cup of coffee. Black with two tsp of sugar please," He said still smiling at me.
I walked away as calm as I could muster at this point. I'm going to strangle him.
"Order up, one cup of black coffee two tsp of sugar," I called back to my boss in the kitchin.
"Here you go," the boss said handing me the cup.
I took it over calmly at sat down the cup in front of Taals. I waited till he had taken a sip and my boss to return to his dutys in the kitchin before I ssat down across from Taals.
"Alright now your really making me mad. What's up," I said.
"I want you to help me catch this murder. Which means I need live bait. You up for the challenge," he said the smile fading from his face.
"Your kidding, right? I can't do that I don't know how to be feminin and dangerous at the same time," I said surprise in my voice.
"No, need to be dangerous, just feminin. I'll take care of him, you just lure him into the open," Taals said resting his chin on his folded up hands.
"Where will you be the entire time I'm in the bar," I asked.
"Watching," was all Taals said. Then he continued while getting up, "See you tonight then."
"Wait a minute," I said. Too late he's already out the door.
At least he could have finished his coffee. Now what? He expects me to be there tonight. After work I'll to go digging in my unpacted bags under my bed to find that dress I saved of my mothers. I hope it'll be in good enough shape to wear tonight.
I stood up and grabed the nearly full cup. Sitting it on the counter I wondered what I've gottin myself into. Hopefully after this job is done I won't have anything back work to worry about. Hey who knows maybe that Taal guy may stay away from here. He gives me the creeps with the way he almost always has a smile plastered to his face.
