It was a bit passed dinner time when they stepped into Brodie's and therefore there where a few open tables. Most of the evening regulars had yet to come in and most of the dinner guests had cleared out. Zora the waitress was clearing tables and she nodded her head towards a booth, her many braids bobbing with the motion. Marie nodded back and her and Miss Sarah went to sit down. They didn't have to wait long before Zora walked over, hips swaying as she swerved between the small tables dotting the room.
"Hey there lovely ladies, what can I get you tonight?"
"Is Steve working tonight?"
"He is, want me to make him whip up a special?"
"Please do, tell him to hold back a bit on the onions this time, last time my breath was foul for a week."
Zora laughed. "Sure thing! Oh, right Sparky left a message for you, said he'd be back in two nips and a jiffy - whatever that means - and that you should wait here if you came in."
Marie smiled at the waitress. "Thanks Zora, strangely enough that makes perfect sense to me."
"Good, cause it didn't mean a thing to me." She winked. "The usual to drink?"
"Sounds good." Marie said and Miss Sarah nodded as well. When the waitress walked off towards the kitchen Marie fished out her pocket watch and flipped the lid open.
"Hmm... Sparky should be here in about an hour then. Plenty of time to eat!"
