The next day, May went to Yummyland to work
her usual shift, but she felt disturbed. She tried hard, but could not
concentrate. Her mind was on the previous evening’s events.
A few hours later Steve came to visit
May. He entered the restaurant and sat at an empty table. The table
was near a window. Ten minutes later, May came to Steve’s table.
Steve looked at May with a concerned look. “What’s wrong?” asked
Steve. “We have to talk” said May in a whisper. “Ok” said Steve not
knowing where this conversation might end up at.
“Well, let us just say Ruby stopped by last
night” said May in a trembling voice. “And?” said Steve, looking at May
trying to calm her down to talk. “Ruby wanted me to go with it” said May,
the words coming out in a rush. Steve was quiet for a moment as he
thought of what to say. He said, “It will be alright. Now tell me
exactly what happened”
“Ok. Here goes” said May, trying to
stay calm. “As I was saying, Ruby was here last night. It wanted me
to go to where it lived” May went on. “Ok. What’s so bad about that?”
asked Steve. “I think it is a trick” said May.
“What if I go with you?” suggested
Steve. “Ok I guess” said May in a reluctant voice. “When will Ruby
come back to the restaurant?” questioned Steve. “Two evenings from last
evening” May responded. “Alright then” said Steve. “I will
make plans to meet you at this restaurant the evening that Ruby will visit”
Steve added. “Ok” May agreed.
“Do you want anything to eat or drink?” asked
May. “No thank you” said Steve, knowing that May was busy. “Ok, I
will get back to my work” she said. With that, May went to a nearby
counter to review some orders. Steve sat alone for two minutes and
left the restaurant.
