Jacky *putting on a smile*: Hi Jo. Nice to see you. Still beautiful as always. *smiles again*
Joey: Where have you been?
Jacky: Traffic.
Joey: What? That was about *looks at her watch* 45 minutes ago.
Jacky: Happens. *smiles* Should we find a seat?
Joey hesitates but goes back to her original spot in the back anyways. A waiter is cleaning up at the table but stops when she comes back. They both order a drink and sits down opposite from each other.
Joey: What happened? Where is Gallen?
Jacky: Side-tracked. I told him to go back to the apartment building since I just found something else that’s quite important regarding my other case - since he has the car and knows a few shortcuts. I have to haul a Taxi to get here.
Joey: You mean with the murder at Constant Comfort?
Jacky: Yea.
Joey: You should have told me. I’m in charge of that case as of this week.
Jacky: You want to go now? It’s too late. Gallen should call me back to confirm about the current situation. But he didn’t yet. Maybe it’s just false alarm.
The waiter comes back with their drinks.
Jacky *taking a sip of the drink*: Maybe I should…*his phone rings at that moment so he picks up* Hello? Yea. I’m here. What took me so long? What took you so long to call? Okay. We’ll come back.
Jacky hangs up and turns to Joey.
Joey: We’re not having this meeting, are we?
Jacky: I’m here, you’re here. We got a meeting going at least for *looks at watch* 5 minutes. We can talk more later. We have to head back. You got your car, right?
Joey: Yes.
Jacky *takes a last sip of his drink*: I swear I can’t fulfill my thirst today.
Joey is already on her feet and is walking toward the entrance. Jacky walks after her and pays at the front desk.
While they’re walking to the parking lot, Joey notices someone’s following them. She takes out her compact and pretends to be applying make up since she has decreased her speed. Jacky slows down with hers and looks side-way where she has the compact. They could both see a shadow behind them. Joey puts away her compact quickly and advances toward her car.
Jacky *pretending he didn’t see*: What’s your hurry?
Joey doesn’t answer him, but just gets into her car. He runs to the passenger side and gets in.
Joey locks all doors and rolls up the window before backing out. When they’re on the road again, she looks at Jacky, indicating that he can talk now.
Jacky: Old boyfriend?
Joey: No.
Jacky: I thought I saw some fear in your eyes before.
Joey: Tell me what was going on with Gallen’s side.
Jacky starts from the beginning.
