Lies beneath the truth
Chapter Four
Lee headed out of his hotel room to have that drink downstairs. Taking the elevator as it seemed to be moving slowly in his mind. Finally the elevator door opened into the lobby busy with people roaming around. Seeing the poster of the Cluster cocktail bar and restaurant.
The placed seemed to be busy as he stopped inside near the register with the waitress turning around to face the handsome looking male. "Can I help you, sir?" She asked grabbing a menu waiting for his response.
"Yes, I would like a table in a corner if possible."
"Sure, please come this way while I see to it with your request." She replied with looking over at the corner to be a table and the perfect waitress to take care of him. "Here we are sir. Your waitress will be right with you. Her name is Bunny to be serving you any drinks or food." Walking away to say a word to Bunny at the bar filling an order for another customer. "He's all yours, Bunny. I suggest you don't push him too hard to find out what is going on." She said calmly in her ear.
Bunny walked over to Stanton in the corner. It was her job ordered by Billy Bluenote to be sure to keep an eye out on him from getting into further trouble.
Lee lifted his head to notice the woman Bunny. "What the hell is going on Francine? Why are you dressed like that in the first place?" Lee was annoyed, pissed and needing to hit somebody at any moment.
"Excuse me sir, I have no idea what you're talking about. I suggest you either order or leave." She said rather harshly to have others near them to hear the entire exchange.
"Fine! I will order. I need two whiskeys with an order consisting of Chicken wings and fries. And be quick about it Bunny whatever hell your name might be." Lee stated.
This is when Bunny now further upset slapped Lee hard in his face to knock him back slightly even though causing no damage. He was really shocked that Francine would actually slap him like this in public. "Now I will place your drink and food order Mr. Stanton." She than moved to his ear to say the following..."Billy will contact you later by phone with additional info on Colonel Franklin Baker." She than walked away with some of the patrons clapping with what she was able to do with the customer.
Meanwhile Lee was able to try and get his nerves back together after what Francine had done. However there was someone inside the bar area having watched the entire scene. Taking a sip of his gin and tonic, while waiting for his food order from the same waitress. Moments later she comes over to him with his Tuna melt and salad.
"Here you go Sugar. I am sorry for having taken too long to bring it over to you." Bunny says with placing his food onto his table, while he hands her a bill into her hands for being nice.
"No problem. I must admit watching you earlier with that man in the corner. What the heck did he do to you to cause a reaction like that?" He asked even though it was none of his business.
"He was really rude to me. Do you require anything else sugar?" It was a loaded question after he had handed her a small bill for some type of service.
"I am looking for company tonight. That's if you're able to get off work later." He asked softly and calmly with the request.
"Sorry! I can this evening, I am working all night with having to be short tonight with waitresses. Maybe another night I might decide to take you up on your offer. I would be able to give you a really good time." She felt sick with saying it in his ear.
"Very well another night Bunny. Here is my business card. My number is listed on the top with following the prompt to reach me. If the voicemail picks up just leave a brief message and your phone. I will be able to call you back."
Afterwards she went back to her work with watching Lee. Even though she was able to call Billy later with an update. This undercover work was beginning to get interesting afterall. Even though she was fighting Billy on the idea.
After Lee was done with his drinks and food. He headed back up to his room not really realizing that someone will be waiting for him in his motel room.

Amanda had bribed the maid lying to her about losing her card key to get into the room. The young blonde maid using her master key was able to open it for her. As Amanda gave her a $20.00 bill for helping out. Even though she wasn't allowed to accept tips from the customers. Otherwise she took the money and stuffed it into her uniform pocket and went back to her work though it was the late hour.
Billy had given her the hotel for which Lee was staying. She wasn't going to screw up the operation since she had guessed. He had no choice or else she was going to cause him trouble in ways that even he knew better.
She was sitting on the edge of the bed in the bedroom a nervous black cat as she waited until she heard the door begin to open. She heard it close as she inhaled to try and relieve some of the tension in her back and shoulders.
