Wednesday, Round Two of the Speed Dating

Okay, I was surprised.

I hadn’t thought the cop/bunny five-minute speed dating event was going to work out the way Farrah thought it would. I thought maybe a handful of folks might show up. Some curious ladies. Some of the policing community that might be on the hunt for a good time…

I wasn’t expecting every possible seat to be taken.

I stood on the bar to count heads and make sure I wasn’t exceeding my capacity and getting on the bad side of the fire marshal. Dad had already slated me for a father-daughter talk, and I didn’t need to add anything to what I was sure was an ever-growing list of things he was concerned about.

From my crouched position on the bar top, I could see out the picture windows. It looked like Farrah was keeping the men and women separated outside. I assumed it was so couples couldn’t naturally form on their own while they waited to get in, because then they’d just leave without paying her cover charge.

The line for the officers waiting their turn for the speed dating experience rounded out the door to the left and down the sidewalk. The women wound down the block in the other direction.

“Why?” Kay quipped. “Because the ladies are always right.” Big saucy wink.

Yeah, Kay needed some sleep, too. She was just shy of obnoxious right now. I needed to make sure Dick didn’t give her her keys back. We needed to walk home tonight. Neither of us would be safer drivers than Sarah Elizabeth had been thanks to our lack of sleep.

I jumped down and started a tray of drink orders. “Justice, can you take these to the correct people? I have their names on the napkins, but they keep rotating their seats.”

She came over and reached for the tray.

“A neuron walks into Hooch’s bar and orders a beer,” Justice said. “BJ puts the glass in front of him, and the neuron asks, ‘How much?’ BJ responds, ‘For you? No charge.’”

I put a pile of napkins on her tray.

“How come you can never trust an atom?” Justice asked. “Because they make everything up.”

Nicodemus snickered into his paw.

“Serious? No reaction?” Justice asked, picking up the tray.

“I forgot to tell you these aren’t chemists. Farrah’s company is called Chemistry.”

“Because?” Justice asked as Farrah sidled past us.

“Because if you don’t have chemistry, then you’re just friends.”

Nicodemus rolled his eyes.

“Agreed,” Justice told him.

Before she lifted her tray again, I put my hand on her sleeve. “Oh, and then I have a favor, please.” I leaned in to whisper in her ear. “Do you want to go through the line to figure out what Farrah is up to? I’ve been evesdropping on the questions that the participants read to each other off of prompt cards. There must be a reason behind them. They’re very specific, and they change from table to table. I just can’t put it together to make any sense.”

“You want me to spy?” she asked.

“Yes, please.”

Nicodemus gave me a thumbs up, and the two of them went off to deliver the drinks.
