After leaving Bill's house, I realized I was running thirty minutes late and Arlene was sure to have a fit. I stored the briefcase in the trunk of my car for safe keeping and made sure to park close to the building just in case anyone got any ideas. I wasn't sure when I'd open it...it almost worried me what I would find. Why was he giving me this? Was there trouble on the horizon that he new about but wouldn't tell me? Sighing, I turned off the ignition and stepped out the car, shutting the door and arming the car. My senses on overdrive since I was without Zasha. I needed some freedom, otherwise I'd feel just like I did with Bill and Quinn respected that...I think. I wish he'd let me help him with his work, but I heard from Vincent that he was looking for someone...maybe I'd apply to that job. It would be something fun to do, and I'd get to spend more time with him...unless that was a bad idea and we'd get bored of one another. Closing my eyes to clear my thoughts, I stepped into Merlotte's and exhaled waiting for Arlene to have her bitch fit. But..she didn't. She wasn't even there.
"Hey hun, you're never late unless there's a reason, I covered for ya..been pretty slow anyhow." Holly said with a shrug of her shoulders. "Holly, you are an angel. Thank you so much...I'll pay ya back anytime." She smiled and headed back off to the tables carrying a pitcher of beer. I was in a good mood now, maybe tonight would be great. I waved at Sam as I headed to his office to get my apron and order pad. Holly wasn't joking we were really slow. As I walked past the kitchen I greeted Lafayette, seeing he was in an odd mood and quiet...I decided to leave him be.
"Hey Sam, sorry I'm late...Bill needed to talk to me about some things. It was sort of important."
