Chapter 52

Side-track

Joey sits at a table in the back corner of the café, waiting for the two guys. She feels that it’s ridiculous she has to wait this long since the guys should be here like in 10 minutes already. What is going on? She turns to look again at the entrance. No signs of the guys but she could see that two guys are heading her way. It’s not the two guys she’s waiting for but she stands up to greet them as they approach her table.

Guy #1: Detective Meng! How’s it going?

Guy #2 just smiles at Joey.

Joey: Just splendid.

Guy #1: You don’t look like it.

Joey: I’m waiting for 2 guys and they’re late.

Guy #1 *opens mouth wide*: Who could make our Madame wait? *looks to Guy #2 before looking at Joey*

Joey: Possibly some suspects.

Although Joey knows these two but she’s taking a cautious step because of the guys’ occupations.

Guy #1: You’re always working so hard, Detective. Take a vacation.

Joey: I wish. Crime never stops.

Guy #1 *nods*: True. True.

Guy #2 *to Guy #1*: Let’s not bug Detective Meng anymore. We should be going. We need to meet up with our guy too.

Guy #1: I thought you want to say hi to her.

Guy #2 *pulls Guy #1’s sleeve*: Let’s go. *to Joey* Sorry for bothering you for so long, Detective.

Joey: No problem. I’m still waiting anyways.

Joey looks after the two guys. She couldn’t help but smile. She sees the two guys turn at the corner and goes through the door leading to the back toward the garden view. She sits back down, looking at her watch. Where in the world are they? She decides to give up if they don’t call her in 10 minutes.

After ten more minutes, she gets up, ready to leave. But when she walks toward the entrance, Jacky walks in at the moment, almost crashing into her.

Why is it Jacky? Where is Gallen?
