Chapter 5: The Customer

Faith walked into the shop wondering if she had finally got things right. Tables scattered around the room and people were being tended to by normal every day waitresses. Faith moved to the near by stand and hit the small ring. In a flash a male with a tuxedo on approached her.

"What can I do for you?" He asked, looking through some papers on the pedestal in front of him.

"I'm here for the help wanted sign." Faith confirmed.

"I see…any job experience?" The man asked.

"No." Faith truthfully acknowledged all she knew was how to defend herself after all those training sessions she had with Minoshi when they were friends.

"Well since you're not trained in anything, I suppose you'll just have to be a waitress." Eh, Faith didn't mind she was aiming for the job anyhow.

"When do I start?" Faith asked, trying to peer over to see what exactly he was reading.

"You can start now." He said simply, pointing at a table where a man her age sat at. His mouth was covered by a mask, maybe he was sick?

"By the way, what's your name?" He asked, gazing at her now instead of the papers. Faith frowned, shifting her gaze away from his.

"My name is…My name is Feylene." She replied, saying the name in disgust but the man didn't seem to notice.

"Nice to meet you, I'm your superior, my name is Zuberi." That was that, Zuberi turned and left her there to do her job. Faith shrugged moving over to where the man sat. The man's eyes flashed looking up at her.

"Can I take your order?" Faith asked, staring at him.

"Water and that would be all." He said in such a tone that caused Faith's spine to shiver.

"Water, right…I'll be back." Faith said, turning to go look for the kitchen door but a firm hand caught her thin arm. She spun back around to see him look up at her with annoyance.

"Aren't you going to write that down?" He asked.

"Why? I can remember you wanting a simple glass of water." She huffed, placing her arms on her hips.

"You're new aren't you?" He teased, grabbing her arm. Faith yanked her arm away from him.

"Your point is?" He glanced out the window.

"Oh nothing…" He said, spacing out. Faith had about two vein throbs on her head.

'The jerk gah!' Faith thought before going to look for the kitchen. Thought before she even moved she paused, glancing back at the guy. Faith smiled, she loved the way he teased her. Wait….Love? 'Nope, that can't be true.' She thought retreating from the room. She found the room (somehow gah work with me I'm bad at this.) and came back with a glass of water in her hands. The guy was still staring outside and didn't seem to notice or care about her existence. Faith sighed, he didn't like her at all did he?

"What's wrong?" His voice came, in a concerned manner. Faith blinked innocently.

"Nothing… Nothing." She replied.

"Hmph." He seemed to not buy it at all. He grabbed the cup out of her hand and began to examine it.

"You didn't poison it did you?" Faith gripped the tray in her hands in annoyance.

"No, but if you wish it to be I will be happy to apply some." She gritted out. He stood up and handed her back the water.

"Actually I'm not thirsty." He said, placing the money on the table and moved over to her. He leaned into her ear and whispered, "I will protect you Faith Tanaka." His gentle lips touched her cheek. She reached up, touching her cheek, and blushed furiously. She turned to say something to the mysterious man but alas he was gone. Faith stood in her spot, dazed. Just who the hell was that guy? Thump – thump Faith clutched her heart, it was beating so damn loud!

"Feylene stop standing there, your making a bad impression to me on your first day!" An angry Zuberi's voice came from behind the kitchen. Faith snapped out of her day dream collected the money and moved to her next customers. There were two of them and by their light blue uniform, badges, and weapons she knew these were cops. Faith hid behind the tray she held as she approached them.

"Water please." One said and Faith shrugged and placed the one she had just filled on the table. The water she had fetched for the guy when he just left her there, kissed her, and knew her name... ' OH SHIT! ' Faiths mind yelled, she thought she was going to faint but a small murmur of words from one of the officers brought her back to the world around her.

"Did you hear?" Replayed Faiths mind of what the woman whispered to the other officer.

"Huh, what's up Mina?" The man across from the woman asked.

"I heard Faith Tanaka's parents were buried in that old graveyard across the old church couple miles from here." The woman said with excitement.

"Yeah, I heard that Mina. Miko Tanaka is visiting their graves tonight." Faith's eyes widened, Miko nearby. Her parent's graves finally revealed to her! She had to go, now and finally settle the score with him. That way her hell could finally be over and she could live in peace.

'Time to go on break.' Faith thought, racing over to Zuberi who was serving a family of four. Faith shoved the tray in his hands and patted his shoulder.

"Zuberi, cover for me." She said, before running off. She could hear Zuberi's voice yelling,

"Cover for you on your first day?" Faith couldn't help but laugh.
