Luke spent most of the early evening texting Sang, telling her about how his Uncle wanted to open a restaurant, and the church building on her block was one of the chosen locations so far.

Sang: It sounds like a good idea to me.

He was glad for that. Given it’d be in the neighborhood, it was better if the neighborhood was interested in having a diner so close.

Luke: It might be a lot of fun to set up, too.

He wanted to go into further detail about it, but he kept zoning out, imagining what a diner would be like to operate.

He could make pies.

He’d get to sample the menu anytime he wanted.

He could take girls there on dates and not have to pay. His Uncle owned the place.

All the pancakes he could ever eat...

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it’d be fun. Maybe North was just being too negative about the idea. Maybe North didn’t want to own a diner. He had other plans. Wouldn’t it be fun to be able to try it out at least?

Luke wasn’t totally sure he wanted to run a diner, either. He didn’t cook as well as his Uncle. He felt working in the same location every day might make him feel stifled. Uncle loved it... but was it for Luke?

He tried to explain this to Sang, although he felt like he was rambling. Eventually, he had to stop. He was talking all about the restaurant and didn’t get to ask her much.

Funny how he could open up and talk to someone else, who was nice and friendly. That other tone and personality was comforting compared to North’s incredibly quiet and often cantankerous method of being... himself.

Eventually, Nathan and Gabriel stopped by to take over. For once, North had to go to sleep somewhat early, because they’d be up again to go look at the diner.

The moment they walked in, North and Nathan went to go check if the person they were looking for was still in the office. There had been no action on the cameras, but it could have been the person went a different direction. It might take a few tries to get it right.

Gabriel waited in the motel room with Luke.

“You’re here just in time,” Luke said to Gabriel. “It’s been a long day.”

“North’s being a grump ass again?”

“Yeah,” Luke said. “Same old thing. He doesn’t hide the fact that he’s mulling over something. He just gets angrier and more irritable.”

Gabriel launched himself onto one of the empty beds, and sprawled starfish on his back. His brown blond hair settled on his face. “I don’t really want to do this job. What’s the fastest way to get through this?” he asked, fishing hair out of the way with a hook finger.

Luke smirked. “Are we all just thinking we’ll be too busy with school? We’re not normally so much in a hurry to get things done.”

Gabriel fell quiet for a moment, staring at the ceiling. Luke thought he wasn’t going to answer, but after a minute he spoke.
