Leila waited patiently for her drink. It had been over 10 minutes now, and there was no sign of the waitress. It's not that she was in a hurry; she had the day off after all, but being in public for too long-especially with the way things had been lately-wasn't the smartest idea. Leila looked down at some of the blueprints she had brought with her to keep he mind occupied. If luck was on her side, she would avoid the police for the remainder of the day and would be able to safely return home tonight.

"Here you go," the waitress said with a lack of enthusiasm as she approached the booth. Leila quickly thought of an insult in her mind but she knew better than to say it out loud.

"Thank you," Leila replied as she smiled at the waitress to fake being pleased with the service. After taking a quick sip, she turned her focus once more to the blueprint in front of her. The workload that Dr. Chaddrick had imposed on Leila was a bit overwhelming, but protesting against it was useless. He didn't care for petty complaints, and there would always be someone ready to replace her within hours if it came down to it. Without paying much attention to her surroundings, Leila continued with the task at hand hoping to return to Dr. Chaddrick with a solution rather than with additional doubts.
