( In the kitchen )
12:45pm
Jennifer moved with a fixed attitude her hair tied tightly under the hair neat , though the weather was extremely
Her co-worker and friend ( Jessica ) couldn't help but sigh mostly when her eyes fail on the black long sleeve with a frown
" aren't you hot ?"
She asked feeling suffocating from the handless she wore
Jennifer moved gracefully with each slice on the veggies with a simple kitchen knife
" No am not "
She replied simply while uncovering the hot steaming pot
" You know there's no need to hide those burnt "
Jessica added with a sigh only to receive a numb expression from Jennifer dropping her knife
Her sleeve roll up her elbow exposing her right arm , Jessica already used to it smile at her friend ignoring her assistant who gush at the sight
" So what's your plan ? "
She asked her friend who paused lost in thought
" I actually don't know yet but I think it wasn't a wise decision in pushing him to his limit "
Jennifer replied simply handing the waiter the dish who silently Walk out gracefully
" I know but what else was we supposed to do ? "
She asked with a frown but yet again only both understood their conversation
" No need to worry as always I will handle him just don't do anything stupid this time "
Jennifer warned eyes cold and distance Jessica could only sigh in Defeat while holding her wrist
" What ? "
Jennifer asked not even sparing a glance at the already serious Jessica
" Don't it's my problem I will do it and besides it's bad enough you already have that burned scar what if he try to disfigure your face as well "
She warned her voice think with concerned
Jennifer warmly squeeze her hand's while taking off her dark brown mask
Though her appearance were not as remarkable as her friend infact it was too ordinary for anyone to remember
but yet she always carry herself with confidence that speaks volumes
" There's no need to dirty your hands "
Her hands gently adjusting her hair Kept under her hairnet like she was caring for a child
" He's unnecessary trouble I can take care of "
With that she focused completely on her task not giving Jessica a chance to reply
" Why are you simply just staring at me like a fish focus on slicing the meat in equal size "
Jessica I said slowly but seriously while instructing her assistant who felt like crying
" If I don't get them right size you be paying with your money "
She stomped both face leaving the little girl stunned for mere seconds almost slicing her fingers alongside with it
" Am off now "
Jennifer announced out loud attracting the next two workers who were in charge of dish washing
" You leaving? "
" Well am already done for the day and besides the restaurant is already closed for the day "
Jennifer explain to Jessica who simply blink
" We just serve the last customer "
She simply added to Jessica who nodded
" I understand but yet the manager hasn't lock up we can't leave "
She pointed with a knowing look placing both hands on her hips
" Am tired from all the day work and besides if that stupid manager wants to overwork me he better pay me in full and the bonus he had promised me "
Jennifer click her tongue in irritation just thinking about the old manager made her mood sour
Jessica simply roll her eyes in disbelief it wasn't anything new even her assistant simply ignore their consent talking
Jennifer nodded with a smile wanting to leave but halted her steps
but yet her eyes narrow at both dish washers in a suspicious way
" They seem somehow familiar"
She mummer under her breath gazing at their back of their head
for some reason there was something off about the two of their behavior
She could only gesture for Jessica to quickly call the police
" Call the police ? Huh !!! "
Though Jessica was confused she still nodded obediently
But unfortunately what took place next came like a shock for both Jessica and her assistant
" Run !! "
Jessica exclaimed totally startled by the way one of the men picked up a knife aiming directly at Jennifer who stood cautiously
" Who are you ? "
She asked her numb expression cracked slightly when stealing glances at Jessica
Luckily both men seem less interested on both girls
giving an them the chance to escape through the front door into the restaurant to cry for help
" Look carefully and then you will remember ? "
The youngest yelled pointing at his unfamiliar face before she shook her head
" No I don't know you nor meant you before in my life "
She replied simply in a confused manner
" what !!! "
He cheek sting with pain feeling a slap across her face before being held on her hair
Which only made her groan in pain
" If it wasn't you our sister wouldn't have been under that grave and my parents and siblings wouldn't have to suffer all the time "
He said his voice chocked with raw emotions of pain
" Your sister ? "
She paused lost in thoughts the sound's of sirens soon trigger a Particular memory that made her laughed in distained
" December 24 ,"
She remembered the date in an amused tone her gazed met both of his pupils which shook slightly from something else
" She deserves being dead I don't regret it "
Her words echo loudly into their mind leaving the two men angry and excited
" I only regret I didn't cut her more before the police arrived that day but yet one could only admit she was one of my favorite masterpiece"
Her shoulder tremble in excitement something in her stirred for excitement but yet she could only control her itching hands
