Part two

Winifred looked down at her hands and shrugged. It's nothing bad Mr Jackal. Just something that I noticed." She said to him,watching him carefully.

He blinked at her as he bit into the sandwich in his hands. "Well? What is it Priestess? The Jackal is most curious by your silence." He asked of her lightly,swallowing his bite of sandwich.

She breathed in a heavy sigh. "It's about Riley. He was staring at you the whole time out there." She told him,looking into his green eyes.

Spinelli laughed at the words that fell from his friend's lips. "But of course he was,Wise Winifred. We were talking!" He said with a shrug,not at all getting the meaning of her words.

Winifred groaned loudly and clutched at her head. For a genius,Spinelli could be so very clueless sometimes. "You don't get it!" She yelled out in frustration,catching the attention of the other people in the restuarant. She flushed red in embarrassement and lowered her voice. "I meant that he seemed really interested in you! He couldn't take his eyes off you."

His mouth fell open in shock,jaw going slack. "What?" He managed to utter out,his eyes gone huge.

"I think that Riley's gay." She whispered to him honestly as she studied him carefully.

Spinelli let out a throaty laugh. "The Priestess must have been imagining things." He commented lightly as he stood to his feet and shrugged on his jacket. "If you do not mind,the Jackal is going to go look around for a little while." Without another word and not waiting for an answer,he got up and walked off.

Winnie sighed and picked at her food when someone suddenly sat down in Spinelli's abandoned chair across from her. She looked up sharply and saw a wiry framed blond haired,blue eyed boy sitting there.

"So I heard you talking about my friend Riley." Were the first words that came out of his mouth.

"Who are you?" Winifred asked him,dark eyes staring at him suspiciously.

He smiled and held out a pale hand for her to shake. "Peter Stone."

Spinelli zipped up the jacket that he wore as he walked even further. Winnie was so very wrong about Riley Stavros and it made him laugh just a little at how easily she'd jumped to a conclusion.

"Hey!" Someone said from behind him.

He swirled around and came face to face with the guy he'd just been thinking about. "Hi Muscle Bound One." Spinelli said as he grinned back at the younger man.

Riley laughed and pushed away some damp hair from his eyes. "We meet again,Spinelli." He said huskily.

Spinelli could only smile back nervously and stuff his hands into the pocket of the jeans that he wore.

"Where's your friend?" Riley asked,shuffling his feet.

"She is still at the Dot. I told her that I was going to--look around the town." Spinelli said as he walked side by side with Riley.

Riley nodded with a smile curving his lips. "I just got out of football practice." He explained. "It's why I'm so sweaty."

Spinelli smiled again. "Ah. The Jackal thought that he heard the shouts of highschool students not far from here."

"The school is just up the corner." Riley said with a motion of his head. "Anyway,I'm not busy or anything. Want me to show you around town?"

The computer hacker nodded and followed the football star.
