Chapter 2

~~Lassiter's House~~

"So this is your room. If you want to paint it let me know. Uhh if you want a different bed set let me know. If you need anything let me know. Just start unpacking. Do you think you will be done by 5:00?" Lassiter said nervously.

"Ya, I should be done by 5. Why do you want to know?" Victoria asked.

"Well I wanted to take you out to dinner tonight. Is there any place you would like to go?"

Victoria started unpacking and asked, "How do you feel about kids."

Lassiter looked at her and said, "I like them if they are well behaved and quiet."

Victoria smiled. She looked and said, "Okay. Well then how about Tiki Wiki's?"

Lassiter suddenly looked very stern. He went very close to her and questioned, "That sounds like a bar. Do you drink?"

She looked astonished and responded confidently, "I am shocked Detective. How dare you think that I drink. Of course I don't." She hoped that his detective skills weren't as good as they were when he caught her the past four times he has arrested her. If they were, she was dead because he could easily tell that she is lying.

He looked suspiciously at her and asked, "Alright. What is Tiki Wiki's?"

She looked at him as if he was an idiot. She said, "How do you not know what Tiki Wiki's is!? They have some of the best pizza ever! My friends and I used to go there all the time."

Carlton looked at her and said, "Sounds like a plan. We will leave at five.

~~Tiki Wiki's~~

"You are going to love this place," Victoria said as they walked in. The inside is Hawaiian themed kid restaurant. It had one room filled with tables and another filled with games. Victoria smiled as Carlton flinched at three screaming kids ran by to go into the game room. Victoria looked at him and said, "Sorry did I forget to mention that it has an arcade?"

Carlton started turning red, but he calmed himself down and said through his teeth, "Yes you did forget that minor detail. It is okay though, I have seen worse." The waitress came over at sat the two at the booth closest to the game room. When the waitress walked away he murmured, "Just my luck."

When the waitress returned Victoria order for both herself and Carlton, "I will have a Pepsi and He will have a glass of water. We also split a plain pizza with a side of fries."

When she walked away, a gunshot was fired. Carlton jumped. Victoria said, "Relax, it's just a video game. I just don't remember it being so loud."

It fired again. Carlton said, "That is no video game. I'm going to go check it out. Stay here." He ran out the door towards the shots.

Victoria said to herself, "He actually thinks he is my father. How cute." She left $30 on the table and ran out the back door.
