59 Breakup (1/2)
Rickie pulled into an overnight café near her neighbourhood, turned the key in the ignition, and looked over at the silent woman in the passenger seat. Meaghan slowly opened the car door and slid out onto the pavement, and began walking towards the open door of the business. Rickie quickly alighted from the vehicle, and caught up with her just inside the lobby. After waiting a moment to look over his options, he steered her over to a secluded booth, and sat down next to her.
She looked down at her shaky hands, squeezing them tightly.
”How did that man know me without an introduction?And what was that about my parents?”
Meaghan then looked up at him. ”And who are you, really?”
He grabbed her hands, shocked at their cold trembling. ”I didn't mean to hurt or deceive you. My family has been in business for several generations, but until a half-year ago, I worked for the government security agency. Thanks to your report, we managed to stop a terrorist group from sabotaging my company's gas platform.”
”But what is all this about my parents?”
Rickie rubbed her hands between his in an attempt to warm them. He looked directly into those chocolate eyes, now clouded with confusion.
”They were BKN agents, too. In fact, I worked with your parents directly, right up until…the plane crash.”
Meaghan looked at him in surprise. Just then, the waitress walked over to their table. Rickie ordered two café Americanos, and waited for Meaghan to respond.
