“Then let’s start making this way less difficult.” You say with unfounded confidence as the waiter comes here with your food. “Sir, may I ask you a question?”
“Let me do this first, I can’t do two things at the same time.” The meathead waiter puts down the plates and the drinks on your table. “What?”
“That’s how you talk to all your customers?” Vera doesn’t like the attitude.
“I don’t like talking to a couple of little kids who should be in school. Be thankful I’m not calling the cops on you two.” The guy is clearly annoyed.
“I’m sure the VIP section is thankful too.” Vera starts drinking her juice. The fraudulent waiter looks at that room and gulps.
“W-What do you want? I’m not one to chit-chat, but I can't leave you kids with a bad impression.” Waiter will try to be a little more polite.
“Have you seen this person before?” You point at Vera’s phone. Her befuddled expression tells you that she isn’t on board about showing the picture to this guy, but she does it anyway.
“Can hardly see the guy in front, but that kid? Yeah, he’s been around. Palm Head is a school boy just like you lovebirds. A lot of youngsters like you two have been showing up lately. We were joking that this place is getting hip in the back.” The waiter doesn’t mind wasting his time chit-chatting. “Is there something we should know? This some kind of prank for the views? A test of courage of sorts for social media? You should watch it, kids, because this joint is for tough guys and gals.”
“Oh, yes, it really shows...” Vera is full of sarcasm.
“Thank you. Is that all you have for us?” You wonder. The man shrugs, he’s out of information.
“You two babies better tip good later.” The waiter walks away without giving it another thought.
“That got us nothing.” Vera chows down on food.
“What do you mean?” You’re confused. “Not even in a gazillion years would I have said this guy is our age. You sure you haven’t seen him before?”
“What would be the point of me hiding it? I need your help. We are a team. Vera’s team.” Vera doesn’t get why you keep pushing. That name needs work.
“I couldn’t help but overhear you two, and, well, if you need any help, I could, y’know, help.” A random ass guy at another table grabs your attention. He looks young, around your age. No wonder the waiter was annoyed at the sudden youth intake. “We’re likely working for the same thing, so let’s scratch each other’s backs.”
“That’s a rude way to say hello.” Vera gets annoyed at the marsupial-looking man.
“I didn’t say hello.” The tiny kangaroo man retorts.
...You are meeting a lot of wild animals. All equally conflictive.
