Chapitre 15: Table Number 5
Yuri gets to the restaurant before Tobi does.
Yuri: "El Royale huh? Looks fancy."
The restaurant is huge. The outside of the restaurant has an old classic look, but the interior has a modern design and is filled with various tables of different sizes. As Yuri enters, a waiter approaches him.
Tom: "Good afternoon sir. My name is Tom. Welcome to our humble restaurant."
Yuri: "Humble huh. It's not the word I'd choose to describe this place, but what do I know." He laughs.
Tom: "Can I get you a table sir?"
Yuri: "Yes actually. I'd like table 5 please." He says this sentence not too loudly but loudly enough so other people in the restaurant can hear him. They all stare at him and start mumbling to themselves.
Tom: "Sir, I'm sorry, but it would appear a group has already made a reservation for table 5. Fortunately, we have a wide variety of available tables. If you'd come with me, I could show you what we have. For example…"
Yuri: "Thanks for the concern Tom, but table 5 just appeals to me. Don't worry, I'll leave when they get here."
Tom tries to stop him, but Yuri makes his way to the table, and the volume of the murmurs around the restaurant increases. At the same time, Tobi arrives at the restaurant. Yuri signals to him and he moves over to table 5.
Tom: "What would you gentlemen like?"
Yuri: "Just water will be fine for now."
Tom: "Very well, you can use the available menus on your table to decide what you want."
Yuri: "Thank you Tom." He looks at Tobi. "You finished up rather quickly."
Tobi: "Shut up. Anyway, I found something out."
Yuri: "Me too, but you go first."
Tobi: "Turns out our tornado back at the store wasn't a tornado at all. This guy wants her to give her place to him, so his goons attack the place to try to persuade her. It used to be once a month, but now it's once a week. Her husband tried to stand up to them, and they killed him."
Yuri: "So they were willing to go that far huh…"
Tobi: "I don't know how long you planned on staying here, but I don't think you're the kind of guy who will let this slide."
Yuri looks at a clock in the restaurant and doesn't answer Tobi.
Tobi: "Hey, we're going after them, right?"
Yuri: "Nope."
Tobi looks shocked and puzzled.
Tobi: "Huh? So. was the only reason you helped us back then because you saw Kyra? What this woman isn't pretty enough for you to help her. Man, I really misjudged you…"
Yuri: "Shut up hot breath. We're not going after them because they're coming to us in about…", He looks at the clock, "three seconds."
Right away four guys enter the restaurant arguing among themselves. They are all wearing blue cut sleeve denim jackets with black pants and boots. Two are muscular, one is of average built, and the other is fat and considerably larger than the rest. They approach table five and sit next to Yuri and Tobi without realizing it.
Tobi: "This is them? How did you…"
Yuri: "I told you. I found some stuff out too. Just don't do anything yet.
Guy 1: "He's not that bad."
Guy 2: "No. I just don't like Victor."
Yuri: "Yeah. Victor just pisses me off."
Guy 2: "See… He gets it." He makes eye contact with Yuri and they awkwardly stare at each other for about 5 seconds while the rest of the restaurant looks on.
Guy 2: "Wait, who the hell are you."
Yuri: "Yuri Saco. Nice to meet you"
Guy: "Oh, nice to meet you too… Like hell I would say that. What are you doing here?"
Tobi: "Sitting. Only an idiot wouldn't be able to tell."
Guy 3: "And who are you?"
Tobi: "Tobi Bukano. The pleasure is all yours."
Guy 1: "Like hell it is. Look, you guys seem new here, so let me just tell you this… this is our restaurant and our table so leave now and…"
Yuri: "What happens if we say no?"
Guy 2: Pulls out a knife "Let's just say it won't be pretty for you."
Yuri: "Okay." He looks at Tobi. "Let's go."
Tobi: "Really?"
They walk away, but as they approach the door, a waitress brings the guys water.
Guy 1 takes the water and splashes it in the face of the waitress. The guys laugh as the other people in the restaurant look on, but are too afraid to say a word.
Guy 1: "Those idiots who are leaving now must have ordered this."
Guy 2: "Dumb bitch, you got some on my shoes."
Waitress: "I'm terribly sorry. I-I'll clean up right away."
Guy 1: "You think sorry is enough? Those shoes are probably worth more than your life!"
Guy 3: "Yeah... we're gonna have to do something about this."
Two of the guys get up from the table and stand on either side of the waitress. At the same time, Yuri and Tobi get to the door and open it, but they do not go out.
