Crashdown Cafe
August 4, 2006
7:08 PM
Jeff Parker stood behind the counter of the restaurant he owned. An hour ago the place had been packed and hectic, now things were slower and going quite smoothly. The rush was naturally a heavy crowd of those that wanted their food quickly and now was the time for the quiet couples and families. This was Jeff enjoyed about owning a restaurant, seeing the people enjoying their meal and their time together.
Jeff was broken out of his thoughts when he heard the jingling of the bell above the door. He turned to see a young man enter, he was tall, somewhere around six feet. He was extremely well built, even under his brown leather jacket you could see the well defined muscles of his chests and arms. His face was adorned with a goatee and dark sunglasses. His hair, being several inches long, hung to the sides of his head being that it was parted in the middle.
The young man seemed vaguely familiar, as if Jeff had met him before. He approached Jeff and sat in a stool in front of him.
"Welcome to the crashdown cafe," Jeff said. "What can I get you?"
"I'll have an oran...," the young man started. "I'll have a cherry coke."
"Coming right up," Jeff said as he started to fill a glass.
"Do you know where I could find Liz Parker?" the young man asked.
Jeff stopped what he was doing and looked directly at the young man.
"Well she happens to be my daughter," Jeff said as he continued filling the glass. "Why do you want to see her?"
"I really need to speak with her," he said in a hushed tone.
"And how exactly do you know her?" Jeff asked.
"I was a friend once," he said leaning forward on the stool.
"I know all of Liz's friends," Jeff said setting the drink in front of the young man. "She lives in Colorado now, she's going to school up there."
The young man smiled as he heard this. Jeff saw this and noticed it wasn't really a smile, more a smirk. A very familiar smirk.
"Have we met?" Jeff asked.
"Perhaps," he said taking a sip from his drink. "In another lifetime."
"Excuse me?" Jeff asked with a confused look on his face.
"Listen, it's really important that I get in touch with Liz Parker," he said removing his sunglasses. "Please."
Jeff took a long look into the young man's blue eyes. He didn't know why, but he felt as if he could trust this young man.
"all right I'll give you her number," Jeff said. "But before I do, please tell me, what's your name?"
"Alex," he said. "Alex Manes."
