Chapter 13:

Since moving in with her father Callie had not been allowed out on her own. But to her relief at noon Tool pulled away in his truck leaving her completely alone. Callie figured that she had some time and she wanted a good coffee for a change instead of the usual military grade swill. Callie, after some searching of the small townhouse Callie found the keys to the old truck that her dad kept in the garage. She put the truck into gear, and went along her way. Callie stopped at the first coffee joint that she could find. It wasn't a Starbucks but it would do. She put the truck into park and ordered herself a large black coffee. She also figured "What the hell." And bought the six dollar New York Times. Callie sat herself in the corner feeling more normal than usual and began reading her paper. She had gotten to the art section when she felt the table move a little as a body sat down across from her. Upon her lowering the paper she found it to be an attractive young man.

"Can I help you?" I asked Callie to the new "mystery man"

"Well." Said the young man taking a sip out of his coffee "I saw you from across the shop and I was wondering if you might want to go out sometime."

Wow a very attractive guy just asked her out after another pretty attractive guy tried to have sex with her. She wasn't much to look at, so she figured that her guy luck had finally changed.

"I would love to." Said Callie "What did your name happen to be?"

"I'm Dimitri." He said to her extending his hand for her to shake

"Callie." She said taking his hand

"Well Callie." He said to her "When are you free?"

"I'm free tonight actually." Said Callie

"Well that sounds great," Said Dimitri "I'll pick you up at seven."

"Before you go," Said Callie grabbing his arm as he got up to go "Where is your accent from?"

"Russia." He said finally walking away

"How is she Tool?" asked Barney on the other end of the cell phone

"She's doing good." Said Tool "She thinks I don't know she's gone, but she actually went out for coffee. "

"You let her go out to coffee!" Yelled Barney "Don't worry I had someone tail her to make some quick money."

"Last I heard she was chatting with a guy, over a paper, and a coffee." Said Tool "And before you ask, yes he does check out. He's a college student, he's working on his doctorate."

"Okay." Said Barney conceding "Just make sure that you keep a proper eye on her."

"I will Barney. You can trust me." Said Tool hanging up the phone
