Chapter 4: That's how it starts

Richard let people pay and gave change to those he needed to. He then went to get the order of all 3 of them. Not realizing yet that they were bounty hunters there to get him. Richard concentrated on his work the most. As he tried his best not to worry about what could or would be. Granted, Richard did try the best he could to be careful, but he also tried not to be suspicious. Which worked. To the most part at least. Or so Richard thought and believed. Not realizing that he was found. Not just yet, like when the 3 first entered. Also, Richard begin to suspect when he saw them watch him, as he brought over their order to their table. The way they watched him made him worry, as he glanced around and then back at them, as he made his way over. Richard tried not to show that he was nerves or anything like that.

He tried to act like everything was fine, even if deep down he didn't really know whether it was the case or not, even if he hoped so. Richard tried not to think of that as he made his way over. He gave the three a kind smile as he got closer to them and then he put their orders by them and nodded, then left to help other customers around the diner.

Occasionally, though, he kept an eye on them as he didn't trust them. Richard had a bad feeling that something was off. He shook his head from the thoughts, as he tried to convince himself that he was over reacting, even if it made sense that he was, but he needed to calm down. It took Richard a while, but he did eventually calm down finally. Once he calmed down, he took a deep breath as he made sure that no one saw it, as he went back to work, but occasionally, he kept his eyes on the group, just to be on the safe side, of course. As Richard wanted to avoid trouble and danger as much as he possibly could.

Also, he was worried that he might get caught anyway, and then everything was over, but he tried not to think about it, as he tried to concentrate on work once more. It was the only thing he could do not to panic and run out of them. Richard tried to convince himself that he was fine and that all the people in the diner were just regular people. That they weren't cops or such, which meant that he was safe, but Richard still couldn't shake the feeling that the three that walked in, were in fact law enforcement feeling, even though he tried to convince himself that it wasn't the case.

He just couldn't help but feel that way. Then again, Richard had that feeling a lot and yet, the people weren't always cops, even if at times they were. Yet, not as much as he feared, that was for sure. Richard hoped and prayed that this time, like some other times before that, that he was wrong and that the people weren't cops, or anything like that, and that if they were that they weren't there because of him, nor that they knew who he was or it won't end well, that much he knew for sure. He watched them for a while. He shook his head to those thoughts and went back to work.

AT THE TABLE

Reno, Chey and Bobby just sat there and talked among themselves as they waited for their orders. When Richard came back over with their orders they watched him put it in front of them, as they thanked him for that, as they watched him nod and walk off. They exchanged looks and sighed as they then just dugged in. Here and there, they glanced over at the guy. Bobby did that more than Reno and Chey did, which got both Reno and Chey to kick him from under the table.

"Ouch, what was that for?" Bobby asked firmly, clearly pissed off at that.

"Will you stop staring, you need to try not to seem that obvious that you want to catch him. Have you forgotten that by now, you idiot?" Chey asked and shook her head to that. "But we are here to catch him. Reno back me up on it, man," Bobby said as he turned to Reno at the last part. Reno shrugged to that and shook his head to that as well. "Sorry but can't, as I don't agree with you but with Chey, as she got a point there, man," Reno replied, as Chey looked at Reno with a proud smile, and then turned back to her brother. "See? Even Reno agrees, so enough and stop staring that much," she said to her brother. "Ah, fine," Bobby retorted as he just ate and drank, even if at times he still stared at the guy a lot but stopped when his sister and Reno kicked him from under the table just for that, which made him complain and glare at them but then he just stopped doing what he did.

They noticed that Richard seemed to be panicking as they sighed to that. Reno and Chey had no doubt that it had to be Bobby's fault not theirs's. as they were rather frustrated with him. To say the least, rightfully so, of course.

Bobby definitely annoyed the two but then again, they weren't really surprised by it, as he did that a lot, so there wasn't nothing new there or, so they thought. They shook their heads to that, as then they exchanged looks and continued eating as well as drinking.

Bobby just shook his head to that, as he tried to avoid them or the guy. However, he hoped to already get the guy and drag him back, so that they all could get payed and get on with their lives. Bobby wanted to move to other cases and such, as soon as possible, as they needed the money. He especially. Bobby refused to give up on it. Reno and Chey wanted to do their job, get paid and move on too, but not so much because of the money, even if they needed it too. However, something about this case bugged them. By what they could tell by the way the guy acted and all, he didn't seem at all like the guy they were after, even if he was the guy in the photo and all.

There was something very wrong about the case, at least for them. Bobby on the other hand didn't care one way or another. Also, truth be told he did believe the guy was guilty but that was beside the point.

At the moment, though, they just sat there and ate as well as drank, as they tried to come up with the plan to catch the guy, as Reno and Chey hoped that they weren't making a mistake.
