Chapter 23
They had a thom day. Actually, it had been a slow couple of days. Days like that were popular at the diner, they were in a shitty neighborhood, with about seventy percent old people and a retirement home nearby, it was a wonder they got any customers at all.
Finding help had also been very hard, the teenagers didnt like to stay too long, they found the job boring, plus the pay wasn’t even that good. Ever since Lati left Birdie was having a hard time dealing with the new hire Vette. The girl was nineteen and she had a really loud mouth. She questioned everything. Bindir, or asked her to do. And she always came to weak late
ir was tick of her
She honestly missed Lori, and even felt bad for the way she had treated her. Maybe if she had treated her better she wouldn’t have left work,
Well, who was the kidding? Lori wasn’t really going to work at the diner for years like her, she didn’t look like she was that kind of person. But the way she had left truly baffled her sometimes. She left a day after that strange tall and handsome stranger had come to see her in a fancy car. She wondered if the man asked Lori to be his escort or something. Because she couldn’t imagine what such a rich and powerful man would be doing with Lon.
Someone stepped into the diner, their fifth customer for that day and probably the last one they would have before sunset.
The man looked vapurly familiar. He was short, spiky dyed blond hair with black roots, he was dressed casual enuigh, but something about him looked sinister and creepy Birdie had a weird feeling that she had seen him before. He walked up to the counter with a frown on his face, he had dark broody eyes, the kind that looked unsettling, a sharp jaw and thin listed lips.
He looked like he had just gotten out a fight, Hindi noted with the purple braise forming alongside his temple.
“Welcome to lay’s, What can I get you?”
She said as she fished out her notepad from her breast pocket and
shook his head.
“Nothing. 1 m looking for someone who works here, Loretta Wyatt.”
He answered and Bardie’s ears perked up. Of course, that s why he was familiar, she had seen him with Lori before.
“She doesn’t work here anymore.”
She answered and the man’s frown deepened.
“Since when?!”
Hindi shrugged.
“A few weeks ago.”
“Know why she left
He asked and Birdie shrugged.
“I dont know.”
The man sighed. He muttered some curse words and paused for a while before turning to Birdie again
Then he dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out a hundred dollar
dollar bill
“111 add a hundred more if you can tell me anything you know about her.”
Birdie raised her eyebrows. Okay, now the was interested. What could he possibly want in
She glanced around the diner, but no one else was with them except for Mr For who was already dozing off in his seat
“Make it three hundred and III even give you her address.
The man didn’t look impressed, but he smiled shyly.
“There hundred and you give me her contact, any information you have on her and who you think she might he hanging out around with

He added and Birdie shrugged.

the thought as she shook her head slightly
“Toni was pregnant yea? What happened to the baby?
The baby died Prematulle labor or something.
Canary!
Birdie said as she shougged. She never really cared about that anyways, Lon was stupid enough to get pregnant and besides she was planning to give the baby away airway so the must be ecstatic that the baby died.
The man seemed quet for a while and Binte’s eyes widened.
“Ward. Are you the father?
“No! Are you fucking crazy?! I’m her bother
The nun answered delenuvaly.
Ton Devet mentioned family”

“Yea she’s weird like that. My name i lared Wyatt.”
lude nodded. He could be lying for all she kres, but she didn’t really care.
Did you notice anything unusual before she left work?!
Anyone come to see her or something t
He asked nervously and Birdie nodded.
“Yes. There was this man. He came to see her before the end of her shift.”
Really?! Describe him, how did he look like
He was tall, very handsome to be quite honest, he was wearing a suit and he had a really nice ride
Jared’s face morphed into confusion.
“A suit? Are you completely sure?” ||
I am. He looked sophisticated and very rich. You don’t forget that kind of person.”
fated was now very confused. He thought it was Asher, he thought Asher was the one who had come to see her, because that seemed to be the only logical mxplanation.
Then though he and Asher had fallen out,
talked with Ashers men and they had told him Asher was trying to reach out to Lori since she was
