"That does sound very unpleasant, I'm sorry." She made a disgruntled face, "That sucks"
|
"It makes money," he said. Or takes it, he thought. "So what, besides being part of the food services workforce, would you consider your dream job?"
((Woah, I didn't see For-Chan's post like... eight posts ago. xD I knew you were changing days, I just thought it would be nice and in-character if I phrased it that way.)) |
"My dream job is to be a Criminal Forensic Scientist." She smiled, "I find the science of it fascinating. What's your dream job?"
Cindy's cellphone rings and looks at it, "Sorry I got to take this" She opens the phone "Mhm...." Cindy looks up at Garrett mouth 'Sorry' Still talking on the phone,"Okay..chill, I'll be there soon." She hangs the phone up. "Hey Garrett, I hate to leave like this but, something important just came up." Cindy frowned. "Sorry." ((Bedtime... night all)) |
At the mention of anything related to the police, Garrett immediately went tight-lipped. He paused, regained his poise, and ran his hand over his already slicked-back hair. He never got a chance to answer her question. In all his years, of all the possible careers he could have taken an interest in, there was only one thing he knew he wanted to be.
He wanted to be rich. He waved good-bye. "Hope to see you again." He suppressed a twitch. |
Alex walked through the back door and walked out front while tieing it into a nice bow"sorry I dissappered yesterday guys but do you guy remember that really mean guy who called us all morons wel I heard him say he was gonna cut my breaks .So I went and checked and the he fricking did so I had to call the cops and a buddy of mine to come and pick me up and to fix the car. Sorry I didn't pop in an tell you guys but I got caught up in the whole he freaking cut my breaks deal."she said with a guilty sigh
|
Garrett eavesdropped, an old habit of his that never quite went away no matter how many times he'd been put into bad situations because of it. People around here certainly liked their police, he surmised. "Sounds horrible," he said, not knowing if anyone heard him.

Isabella had been cleaning the counter for a while and was resting her head in her hands, with her elbows propped up on the table. Today wasn't so bad, actually, as opposed to other days. Although there were only a few people in at the moment, she was in a pretty good mood for now.
Devlin cleaned himself up and straightened out his uniform before stepping back out into the cafe's main area. "Hey babe, what's up?" he asked Isabella, in a normal voice. She turned. "Not much. Another progressively slow day, but we're fine. You look like you've gotten better. How are you feeling?" "I don't feel sick anymore, so can I have my job back, Iz?" Dev chuckled mildly. "Anyway Cookie's probably docked my pay enough. I should've just called in sick but I just HAD to get her that kiddie pool, didn't I?" "Gladly!" Isabella replied, and eagerly moved away from the counter. "And the kiddie pool jello pit thing is on you. Not me. On you," she clarified, wanting nothing to do with the future jello pit that may be a fish pond eventually. Devlin noticed that Alex came to the cafe. "Damn, girl, a call would have been nice! We were worried about you! That guy seriously cut your brakes? Fuck, if he ever comes back here, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind." ((eff I seriously can't spell right now.)) |
"Yes Dev he did and I hope you give him a part of your mind and a part of your fist cause break lines aren't cheap."Alex stated with a huff"And yes it is Horrible and has anyone takin your order uh....sorry but I think I didn't catch your name last time you were in here so can you plz tell me it."She says to Garrett
|
"My name is Garrett," he said. "Garrett Wight. And I would be positively delighted if you would bring me a cup of coffee." He gave a slight smile, beginning to feel the hour wear on him.
|
"ok one super strong super good cup of coofe coming up"Alex walked over to dev and poked him"one cup of coffe and if we have any achool put some in there too please."
|
"Nix that last part," he called. "Don't need it tonight."
|
"ok no liquid Tlc for the man then just coffee"Alex walked back over to Garrett"are you sure you don't want some it looks like the day is wearing on you."
|
"Nah," he said. "Its not been that bad. A few close calls, maybe, but nothing I can't handle." He smirked. "I'm pretty resilient, you know."
|
Cookie pops up out of the office. "Good news everybody! I've ordered frogs!" She says.
She spots Alex. "Oh, look, our wandering lamb has returned." |
"oh really now I never would have guessed"she said to Garrett
having heard her boss she replied"Yeah like lambs to the Slaughter they say. So hows the jello pit coming along?"with a laugh |
"We've got the coffee, but we don't have any ordered booze in here until sometime next week, 'Lex. Our bar's not even installed yet." he reiterated. "But I can make that coffee really strong if you need it," he offered. He spun around to make a new coffee pot since Isabella probably had this one sitting out for more than an hour, even if it was heated.
In a while he had the steaming hot cup of coffee in a mug and he rang the bell. "Coffee's up," he said, signaling for Alex to come back. Isabella raised an eyebrow. "Frogs? For what? We better not be serving frogs legs here!" |
"You'll have to talk to Richard about slaughter, but he just cooks. I don't think he's very good at butchery. We'll have to find out....Anyway. I have ordered frogs and we will put them in our jello lily pond thing..." She pauses. "Do you think we can train the frogs to wrestle?"
|
Alex walked over and pick up the coffe then walked back over to Garrett and placed the coff down infront of him."There you go Garrett."
|
"Thank you, Miss Alex," he said, smiling. He very quickly downed his coffee, wincing when he realized just how hot it was. "I wish we had more time to get to know each other, but it seems you are in the middle of something, and I myself need to be heading back. I'll see you all around," he said as he walked out the door.
|
"Aw ok see you later then Garrett. Stay out of trouble."Alex said with a giggle
((I think I'm gonna go to bed guys or try.)) |
Cookie blinks. "Did I scare him off? Maybe frogs and jello are a bad idea. Back to the drawing board I guess." She sighs.
|
Isabella rolled her eyes. "I don't know if you can train them to wrestle but maybe put two guy frogs together, and one girl, they'll probably fight each other for territory, you know what I mean?"
|
"There's an idea. But maybe we should get a piglet. So then it can be like Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. Although, I'm not sure how we'd get the pig to wear a wig and learn karate."
|
"Noooo! Ohmigod, that's gonna make this place more messy than usual! A pig would cause so much stink around here that no one's gonna wanna come in, Cookie!" She was in shock - yet again - although this time she probably would prefer waxing her boyfriend rather than to have farm animals in the cafe.
|
"You guys are no fun," Cookie says with a put upon sigh. "I didn't know you were so prejudiced against poor little piggies. Some people keep them as pets you know."
