Chapter 4
The next day and they were still in the car. They had not stopped anywhere and were driving the Cadillac in turns. So one could sleep, while the other was driving. The three of them were glad that they were almost home. It had been a long ride and tonight they would be back at Sanctuary. Jesse longed for a whole day of sleeping and was anxious to see Emma again. He just wanted to be near her again. Shalimar wanted a hot bath to stay in it for a long time and then getting some sleep in her bed, with or without Brennan. Brennan just wanted to make love to Shalimar and sleep with her in his arms. Suddenly Jesse said:" He guys, I saw a sign, which said there is a diner at the next exit. I love to eat something. How about you?" Shalimar nodded enthusiastically. Shalimar wanted to get out of the car, even for just one hour. Brennan took the exit and drove the car to the diner.
The sign above the diner said "Al's Diner". The parking lot was full with trucks and pick ups. Brennan was looking for a spot to park the car and found one near the entry of the diner. Inside they found a table in front of the window, so they could watch the Cadillac. They looked at the menu and picked something. Shalimar just wanted some fries and a hamburger. She looked around and just saw truck drivers and probably regular customers, but she didn't see any woman. Only the waitresses were women. Jesse and Brennan saw that they were being watched by the other customers and Shalimar was meeting their looks. Jesse sighed and said:" Shal, stop it; I am definitely not in the mood to fight with somebody. Just ignore them." Shalimar grinned and stood up. "I am going to the restroom. Be right back." Brennan let her pass and watched her, entering the door to the restroom.
The waitress came to their table and asked, looking at Brennan and Jesse, in a very suggestive way:" So, What can I do for you, guys?" Brennan, who was looking at the door of the restroom the last ten minutes, now looked up and was a bit surprised by this behavior. He shook his head and answered: "I am already taken, but I want to order two plates of fries and a couple of hamburgers. And some water, please." The woman looked disappointed and turned to Jesse. But he smiled and said:" Taken too, but I want a big steak with fries and a coke." The waitress walked away and Brennan and Jesse laughed. Jesse looked at the door of the restroom and mentioned:" It takes a lot of time for her to fresh herself." But at this point, Shalimar entered the diner again and sat down by their table. Behind her, three men came out of the restroom and they looked like shit. Shalimar shrugged her shoulders and explained it to them. "They wouldn't let me pass, so I had to make sure they did." she said clearly and with a grin. Brennan and Jesse looked at each other, not knowing how to react precisely, but the decision was made for them, when the waitress put their plates on the table. Then she was getting their drinks. She didn't leave immediately, but asked again: "Are you really sure, I can't get you anything anymore?" The way she said it, made Shalimar look up. She wanted to put a fry in her mouth, but it was hanging in the air, when she looked at the waitress. Brennan answered:" Pretty sure, everything I want is here." "Shame, you guys are really gorgeous looking", she said and walked away. They started to eat and the food tasted heavenly, according to Jesse. After they finished, Jesse said:" I want to get to Sanctuary. Shall we go?" He asked for the bill, when Brennan and Shalimar nodded. The same waitress came back and wanted to say something, but Shalimar cut her off. "Look lady, if I were you, take the money and leave. I am not in the mood for your flirting with my man." Brennan took her arm and pulled her away and Jesse paid the bill and followed.
"Was it necessary to do that?" Brennan asked, but he couldn't suppress a smile. Shalimar was going to answer, but she saw the three guys from the restroom, leaning against the Cadillac. Brennan looked at the guys and said:" That is our car. Would you mind getting away from it?" The tallest one laughed in a sarcastic way and said:" Yes, we do mind. But we will do what you ask if you just hand over me the bitch?" Jesse answered:" And if we don't?" The second man, a fat one, looked at them and said: "Then we have to ruin your car, get your ass kicked and then take her with us. So, it will be easier if you just hand over her." Shalimar heard a sound and turned around. Behind her there were a lot of men, coming out of the diner. ".......Eh.........guys...........we have a problem." Shalimar said. Jesse followed her look and said:" I am definitely not in the mood for this!" and was getting ready for the first guy, coming his way.
Five minutes later, Shalimar, Brennan and Jesse stood in the middle of an enormous count of men, who were lying down and moaning over their injuries. Shalimar turned to Brennan and Jesse. "Can we go now? I am getting enough of this ride. I want to take a really hot bath." Brennan nodded and they walked towards the Cadillac, got in the car and drove off.
