Aiden walked from the palace to the restaurant. He wore jeans, a T-shirt featuring Rahmi’s professional cricket team, and a baseball cap down low over his eyes. He took a seat on the outdoor patio and ordered a drink as he watched people come and go. There were three exits, although more likely four: a front and back door, and a window in the men’s restroom, which he guessed matched a window in the women’s room.

Aiden smiled at the pretty waitress who brought him a refill. “I’m visiting the science lab and they recommended I come here. The drink is excellent.”

“Thank you,” the woman, who was probably twenty, blushed as she leaned forward across the table to put an extra napkin down for him, giving him a good view of her pert tits.

“How long have you worked here?” Aiden asked as he let approval show in his eyes. The woman preened and Aiden sat back waiting for her to talk.

“Forever. My parents own it and all of the family works here. I’ve been here since I was six, I think.” She laughed as she bit her lower lip and batted her eyelashes at him.

“Must be hard working with your family all the time.”

She shrugged a shoulder. “But I get to meet many fascinating people. Like you scientists from the lab. They come from all over the world to work here and most stop by to eat so I get to know them.”

“I’m coming back tonight with some people from the lab. Sada set me up on a blind date with the head of the lab . . .” Aiden pretended to forget Piper’s name and the waitress quickly jumped in.

“Piper? Is she back in town?”

“I guess. We’ll be here tonight. Is she nice?”

“So nice! Sada was talking to her new boyfriend last night about Piper hopefully coming back soon. I can’t wait to see her.”

Aiden nodded along as she continued to tell him all about Piper. “So, I don’t have to worry about finding an emergency exit in the back?”

The woman laughed. “Oh no. You won’t need the back door or the kitchen for Piper. She’s very lucky to have a date with you.”

“It sounds like I’m the lucky one.” Aiden stood up and put extra money on the table. “Thanks for calming my nerves before my date. I’ll see you soon.”

Aiden walked around the back of the building and took in the area. City alleys filled with large trash cans and employee parking filled the space behind the restaurant. A small marina was a couple blocks away. Then around the side of the restaurant was the main strip of the city lined with shops, clubs, and places to eat. Across the street were businesses, including the lab, and a large park. He’d post men at every exit, in the park, and in the nearby alleys just in case.

Aiden walked back to the palace, flashed his credentials at the gate, and found Piper sitting in the gardens talking with Nailah.
