Alright! Second chapter! This is gearing up to be a nice story I think. I am on the last chapter of my story Losing them Both which has taken me months so, don't expect another chapter till I finish that story.
Kate's legs ached from hours of standing. She shifted from foot to foot in an effort to regain feeling. She set her knife down and cracked each set of knuckles.
"Easy superwoman." Tony chortled, sidling up beside her.
"I'm sore! I've chopped 21 peppers, 33 onions, 16 carrots, 25 leeks, 21 tomatoes, and don't even get me started on the fruit-"
"I won't." He cut her off, "and by the way tomatoes are a fruit." They were alone in the kitchen know, it was surprisingly clean, considering the disarray in which it had been during the dinner rush. "Why d'ya think Lee murders all her employees?" Tony wondered aloud as he leaned backwards onto the counter Kate was now sponging off.
"I don't know…." Kate sighed.
"Anger management issues? The chefs didn't hold the knife the wrong way so she took it out of their hands and stabbed them?" He demonstrated lightheartedly.
"No…if she was that emotionally unbalanced, she wouldn't think to kill in private, she'd do it right out in the open, no, this isn't a spur of the moment thing."
"Okay… so tying up loose ends then?"
"That would indicate she has a secret."
"Everyone has secrets." Kate pondered this for a while, her face a serene ocean of calm. Tony couldn't help but try to find his partners thoughts in her eyes, but he could not see them. "Well I guess we'll just have to figure it out." Kate said decisively.
A resounding crash came from the walk in refrigerator. Tony and Kate didn't have to say anything; they simultaneously rushed to either side of the door. Tony reached cautiously for the handle, turned it and opened the door. Inside a man dressed like Tony lay on floor struggling to breathe. He had his hand s clutched tightly to his side but blood still seeped through his fingers. The two agents rush to his side.
"What happened?" Kate asked while adding pressure to the wound.
"Chef Lee, she was in here and I walk in and she just turns on me, I ain't done nothin' wrong, hear me! Nothin!" The man was sweating heavily and cringed when Kate had put her hand on his wound.
"Tony call 911" Kate shouted even though he was already in the process. "What was she doing when you walked in?"
"Lookin' at somethin' I s'pose, she took it with her when left." Kate sighed in disappointment. "I'm sorry, I really am."
"It's fine…"
"Tyreese."
"It's fine Tyreese."
So?
That leaves Tony and Kate with the question "why?''
