Chapter Twenty-One

I walk up to one of my tables on autopilot, pen and notebook in hand. “Hi, my name is Burn. What can I get …?” My voice dies on my lips at the sight of dreads. Again.

With my stomach in knots, my eyes dart around to look for his crew. I see none of them. Does this mean he’s alone? Can’t be. He’s super-glued to them, I’m sure.

My mind races. Has he come back to waste me in broad daylight? Wants to do the job himself so there are no comebacks?

Although I’m freaking out, I try to keep calm. Slowly, I start to back away. “What?” he asks. “What?”

“Sir, because of you and your crew, I got my ass kicked, I almost lost my job and I got arrested. So, if you don’t mind, sir, I’ll send you another waitress so there’s no drama, okay?”

He slouches back and eyes me, his arm dangling over his chair. “I want you to serve me.”

Wants to torture me before he kills me? How cruel can he be – making me serve my murderer minutes before he whacks me? Even the Sopranos weren’t that cruel, man.

I put away my notepad and hold up my palms. Why did I open my big mouth and tell the cops what I saw? I should have asked to enter The Witness Protection Program first.

“Relax. I’m here to apologise. For the … the drama with Tyra.”

Yeah right. Like I would believe that. “No need, sir,” I say to my murderer. “Thank you, though, but there’s no need.” I look at Cecelia and frantically motion her towards me.

“Sit down,” he says as if he owns the joint.

“Thanks, but I will get fired.” We both turn and look at Madonna Lok at the same time. She quickly turns away.

“Okay,” he says in a low, kinda husky voice – reminding me of Denzel Washington. “After work, then?”

“No, no, no, no! Your girl – Tyra whatever …”

“Forget about her – I just wanna talk to …”

Cecilia’s arrival interrupts us.

“Cecilia, this nice gentleman needs service. Please take over.” I back away before he can say anything more.

“Sure!” Cecilia says and smiles at him. “What can I get you?”

I hurry away.

He finishes his coffee and leaves.

Cecilia runs up to me. “He left this for you,” she says waving a hundred dollar bill at me.

“Omigod! You serious?”

He wants to bribe me with a hundred? Wow! I can’t believe …hang on, I’m gonna need at least one hundred and ten to retract my statement.

“Yeah. I couldn’t believe it. How cool is he? And he’s hot too!”

“Wow!” I lovingly caress my hundred dollar bill. I can buy some decent grub for Angel now. “We split it?” I say.

“Nah, dude gave me a fifty. Told me that that money was for you. Made it clear, so I ain’t messing with that dude. You keep it.”

I peer at her. “Whaddya mean?”

She puts her hand over her mouth and drops her voice. “He’s Trojan Catrell – you don’t mess with him.
