Mystery Night
Chapter 2: Weirdest Day, Bar None
Ari and Kate walked out of the apartment ready and determined to find answers they both badly wanted. As they walked down the street, neither one of them said anything. They were both too deep in thought. They were so busy thinking that they almost walked right by the bar they were looking for.
"Here it is, Caitlin," Ari said when he noticed that she wasn't paying any attention to where she was going.
They walked into the bar only to find that it was almost empty. The only people in there were an older man who looked very rich and a younger woman who was behind the bar counter pouring the man a drink. There was calming music playing in the background, and for a second, both Kate and Ari doubted whether they were in the right place of not.
Hearing the door close, the man at the bar turned around to see who could be coming into the bar this early in the morning. When the man saw Kate and Ari standing there, he took a sip of his drink then set it on the counter top. He slowly got up and walked over to greet them with a nice smile. The man seemed to be in his late 60's with grey hair replacing thick black hair. He was shorter then most men his age and he walked with a expensive looking cane.
"Hi there, I'm Johnny Greene. I own this bar. How can i help you this beautiful morning?" the man said in a welcoming voice.
"Hello there Mr. Greene. My name is Kate Todd and this is Ari Haswari. We were here last night, but we have a few questions for the people who were working here. I was wondering if we could have their names and where we could contact them at this time," Kate said as she and Ari both shook hands with the man. Johnny seemed to be a good man and hopefully he would cooperate with them.
"Is there a problem or something? Did they do anything wrong, are you guys cops?" Johnny questioned as he started walking towards his office door to get the papers.
Before Kate could answer, Ari gave him a reply. "There are just a few questions about last night we need to ask them. There is no trouble." He looked over at Kate, and she just nodded at him.
Just then the woman, who had been listening to the conversation, walked up to them.
"Hi, I'm Jessica. I was working here last night. What's going on?" the tall woman said. Kate looked at her and vaguely recognized her wavy blonde hair and icy blue eyes. She had given Kate a drink or two. Suddenly she felt a rush in her head as a memory of 5 shot glasses sitting in front of her and her being handed another one returned to her.
Because Kate seemed unable to speak, Ari answered her. "Hello, Jessica. My name is Ari and this is Caitlin." Ari shook her hand.
"Call me Kate," Kate said as she shook Jessica's hand.
"Oh yes, I think I remember you two from last night. You two were the couple that got jealous when one of you would dance or talk with anyone beside the other." she giggled as she looked at their first confused expressions that turned to blushing faces.
"I don't remember that!" Kate exclaimed quickly even though the memory of her being jealous while watching Ari flirt with a beautiful girl came to mind.
"Really?" Jessica became confused by her lack of memory. "You slapped a girl who was flirting with him and screamed 'Back off bitch! He is my kidnapper!' and the chick ran off real quick." She was laughing so hard that at first Kate didn't believe her.
"I remember that, Caitlin," Ari told her. She looked at Ari then blushed a very bright color of red.
"Then you two had some drinks together and you went around the corner there. When you came back to pay your bill," she said pointing to Kate, "your hair was messed up," she pointed to Ari, "and your shirt was stretched in the back a lil bit." Jessica told them. "And your skirt was pulled up a little higher than before. Both of y'all had swollen lips though." Kate and Ari both blushed.
They thanked her and got the papers from Johnny, then they walked out in silence not making eye contact with anyone else they happened to pass on their way back to Kate's apartment.
