Chapter 10

“So where to now?” asked Jackie as we left the hospital.

“We need some information,” I said.

“Jack?” asked Jackie.

“Jack,” I replied.

Jackie frowned. I understood why. The last time we had gone to see Jack, he was not too pleased to see us. In fact, he had said maybe five words and did not bother to look up from his computer screen, treating us as though we were more of an annoyance than friends. Though, I’m not sure if Jack ever considered us friends. He was Greg’s cousin and we usually used him more for his ability to get information than anything else, something that we might want to think about changing.

I pulled out my phone and dialed Greg.

“Mel?”

“Hey,” I said. “We need to go to Jack and have him look up some leads for us. Is there any way you can meet us there?”

“I get off in about an hour,” said Greg. “I’ll see you then.”

“Okay. Bye.”

“So?” asked Jackie.

“He’ll meet us down there in an hour.”

“Good. Then, we still have time to get some lunch.”

While we waited for Greg to get off work, Jackie and I went to a local diner for lunch. The small restaurant had one of those long counters that stretched around the kitchen in a u-shape bend with small, red chairs, that twisted and turned, surrounding it. The compact dining space did not detract from its popularity. We managed to squeeze in and find two seats at the counter. We ran to them, plopping our behinds on the cushions before two construction workers, who had the same idea, could.

“Hey!” said one. “Ouch!” He rubbed the back of his head where a salt shaker, thrown by—you guessed it—Rachel had hit him.

“Find your own seats!” she yelled at them.

They walked off, thinking that some other customer had shouted at them.

Jackie and I took our seats and two menus floated across the counter into our hands. We seized them before anyone could see the menus hovering in midair.

“I’m thinking of the grilled cheese,” said Jackie.

“No, that’s fattening,” commented Rachel. “All that cheese.”

“Then there’s the tomato soup,” mused Jackie.

“I think it just comes from a can,” Rachel said. “It’s going to have that metallic taste.”

“Hey,” I said, pointing at the menu, “this hamburger sounds good.”

“But it doesn’t have any bacon,” Rachel continued to voice her opinion on our food choices. “I’m sure it costs extra.”

“Rachel,” I said to her, “please.”

“Sorry,” said Rachel. “It’s not often I get to be in an eatery. Besides, you two should really eat more salads.”

“I thought you wanted her to eat bacon,” Jackie said to Rachel, while trying to look as though she talked to me. “That’s not exactly healthy.”

“Bacon is healthy no matter what time of day it is. And it is an essential part of any well-rounded diet. It’s bacon. Bacon means delicious!” Rachel sang that last word, garnering a few odd glances.

“Are you ready to order?” asked the waitress.

Jackie ordered the grilled cheese sandwich, despite Rachel making gag-faces at her and pretending to throw up, and I requested the hamburger with fries.
