Lunch now arrived. Fonzie joined his friends. As usual, everyone ate at their favorite table. Ten minutes later, Al came over to take their orders.
"So, Fonzie, did you get any luck on talking with the bondsman and Clayton Morgan?" Al asked.
"Yes, Al. The bondsman had come to my garage and we mostly talked about that creep," Fonzie answered.
Al stuck around with Fonzie, Richie, Potsie, and Ralph a couple of minutes and then went into the kitchen again.
"You guys should have been at my garage," Fonzie told them.
He was to tell his friends about Ranger and Stephanie when they walked in behind Joanie and Jenny. Both girls were unaware of Stephanie and Ranger. Fonzie looked in Ranger and Stephanie's direction.
"Who are they, Fonz?" Potsie asked as he, Richie, and Ralph looked in Fonzie's direction.
They could see Fonzie was looking at Stephanie and not Ranger. Even his friends were curious who Stephanie and Ranger were, especially Ranger. They could tell Stephanie and Ranger didn't look familiar at all and couldn't tell Ranger and Stephanie never had been in Arnold's before.
"They have come to catch the creepy Clayton Morgan. This was the story I was about to share when they walked in," Fonzie answered.
Stephanie and Ranger noticed Arnold's was a lot different than all of the restaurants they had eaten back in Trenton. Arnold's was actually a diner, both Ranger and Stephanie thought at the same time. The customers didn't look like they lived in today's time period, but they were still old – fashioned because of the way the diner looked. Somehow this didn't make any sense to her and Ranger at all, and that was something they didn't expect when they pulled up in Arnold's parking space.
Once Stephanie and Ranger sat down in the booth they selected, Stephanie had this feeling somebody was already looking in their direction.
"I think somebody's watching us," Stephanie told Ranger.
"Where?" Ranger asked.
He saw a lot of the other customers were dancing, talking, laughing, eating and drinking. He didn't notice Fonzie was watching. Al walked over to Ranger and Stephanie's booth so he could take their orders.
After Al left, Richie stood up to stretch for a couple of minutes. He was feeling stiff, so now was a good time to stretch.
"Which bondsman are was hired to do this job, Fonz?" Ralph asked.
Fonzie nodded in Ranger's direction, so that did answer Ralph's question.
"You mean the guy in black?" Potsie asked.
"That's right, Potsie. Did you see who he's sitting with?"
Ralph and Richie knew right away Fonzie was talking about Stephanie.
"She's just a woman, Fonz. Do you think she's his wife?" Potsie asked.
"Don't you think of her that way. She was at my garage with him," Fonzie said once Al came to take their plates away.
"Checking out any girls, Fonz?" Al asked.
"No. Just the guy dressed in black over at that booth sitting with that chick," Fonzie told Al.
Al didn't say anything to Fonzie's comment.
"I still like to think she's his wife," Potsie said a second time.
"You could be right, Potsie. She looks like she already has him in his life and she doesn't want to cheat on him," Ralph replied.
Richie agreed to what Ralph had just mentioned. Fonzie almost always felt every girl should be with him, but can't always happen. Stephanie decided to go along to what Ranger had told her, but she still had a feeling more than one pair of eyes were looking in her direction, and that thing she didn't think it was the Fonz himself.
