Molly donned her apron and picked up her book and went out into the dining room she spotted him right away, somebody unfamiliar and out of place.

“Hi, what can I get ya?”

“Hey there,” Barth smiled broadly and checked her name tag, “Molly is it?”

“Um yeah, coffee?”

“Sure, love some.”

Molly filled his waiting cup, “are you ready to order?”

“Give me a minute,” he made a show of reading the menu, “what do you recommend?”

“It’s all good,” something about the man made her skin crawl but she was careful not to show it.

“I’ll have the bacon and egg special, over easylike.” He smiled again. “You work all day or just the morning shift?”

“Why?”

“Well, just wondering, pretty Sheila like you probably got plans for later anyway.”

“Yeah I do, I’ll get your order in.”

“Oh wait a minute, um…bring me some orange juice too.”

“Sure.”

“Oh…something else you probably know the answer to, there’s a girl works nights I can’t remember her name or what time she gets here but I need to talk to her.”

“Nights, that would be Nell Walker…you know her?”

“Mutual friend, about what time does she get here?”

“4:30.”

“Thank you Molly.” Barth smiled again. So Molly must get off about that time…good, he’d be back later.
