Rising. Aethonix Tattoo

Inside THE PUB

. .

The three individuals seated at the table were completely absorbed in taking in their sorroundings, oblivious to the waitress's approached.

Waitress

Excuse me ma'am/sir...Can I get you something? (gazing adoringly at Shawn)

Shawn

oh... bring us your signature dish, we want to try the best you have! (wink at her)

Waitress

Absolutely, I'll get that right out for you!

Shawn

Hold on a sec, sweetheart... Can we chat for a bit?

Waitress

I... mmm sure sir.(smiling sweetly)

Shawn

(pulling out his phone, showing her the screen) Seen anything like this?

Waitress

You...mean that "crescent"? (confused look)

Shawn

(nodding while looking at her) Do this look familiar?

Waitress

mmm... I'm not sure...

Shawn

Take a closer look... Maybe it'll ring a bell?...(patiently waiting for her response)

As the two chatted, Riley observed them, quietly absorbing every word...

After a moment,the waitress's face lit up, and she said...

Waitress

I recall a guy with that tattoo... He's really intimidating...

Shawn

Seriously! Do you know where I can find him sweetheart? (puppy eyes)

Waitress

I'm sorry... (looking shy) but you can try tomorrow... He usually comes in on Thursday.

Shawn

Alright sweetie... Can we have our order ready?(smiling sweetly)

With a satisfied grin, the man sat back down, looking pleased with himself.

Shayla

Care to share…(looking straight to Shawn)

Shawn

Riley... I think we've finally got a lead. (seriously looking at the two)

Riley

Yeah...(nod her head)...thanks for trying Shawn...and the charm (smiling faintly)

Shayla

Now... what's the next step?

Riley

We'll call it a day and plan our next move for tomorrow.(whispers as the waitress approaching)
