ROSSALYN UNLOCKED THE front door to the café, shirt for José in hand, with more than a little trepidation. Once inside, the first thing she saw when she looked down was José’s missing key ring. Her stomach churned as she turned over the potential implications of that in her mind. Had the Willis brothers come in while she was gone? Had they taken José? Was he still here in the café, unable to move or speak? All was quiet, and she stared down at the keys knowing that she should go to the office, where she’d last seen the battered cook, but staying rooted to the spot. A loud clanging made her jump, and she ran to the kitchen, toward the source of the sound, digging into her purse on the way. A shirtless and bandaged José was busy setting up the pans and utensils that he’d need for the day’s dishes.

“I got all cleaned up and took off the bloody shirt so they I could get started,” he explained immediately, seeing his boss’s startled look.

“How did you get your keys back?” she asked, sagging against the door frame with relief.

“I didn’t. I heard someone unlock the front door, and I didn’t know if it was you, so I hid in the kitchen. Then I heard the keys fall on the floor and whoever it was just left, and they slammed the door behind them so it locked again. I didn’t come out for a while, because I wanted to make sure that they left, but when I looked out there, I saw the keys lying on the floor,” José explained, gratefully pulling on the superhero tee shirt that she tossed to him.

“That’s strange... why would they take your keys and then bring them back again?”

José shrugged. “I can’t figure out how they think.”

“Well, I’m just glad that you’re okay,” Rossalyn took a breath. “Think you’re going to be able to hang in there today, or do you need to go home?”

“Oh please, if I go home because of a black eye, my sisters will call me a sissy,” he joked, wincing when he smiled.

Rossie grinned and shook her head. “We can’t have that. But promise you’ll tell me when you need a break, or if you aren’t feeling well,” she demanded.

“Sí,” he nodded, heading back to the kitchen.
