"—It was a hit Snyders—"
—A hard knock life, what did Angela do right to end up here? Who was there for her during her times of struggle? It was something Tom now found an interest in.
She said nothing after her announcement, only bit her lip as they turned down another street, Tom knew of a nice fast food stand close by and pointed "Turn in there"
Angela followed order and got the car to a halt, she saw the little trailer converted into a takeaway and around it chairs with tables under some trees, she smiled and climbed out knowing what Tom wanted to do.
"So? This is one of two things Thomas, a date, or you want to hear more about me?" She asked as they walked over.
"Option A is a long shot crazy lady, this is me sticking my partner for a meat pie" he said scanning the menu.
"Thommas! Long time no see man!" The Rastafarian man inside the trailer said smiling, gold teeth and all.
"Eddy, where do you make the money for all that gold?" Tom asked seeing one new gold teeth was added to his other three.
Eddy laughed first "Now detective you know I cannot tell you that man, I'll get arrested"
"Fair enough, I'd like your pepper steak" he said and looked at Angela still scanning with a finger on her chin.
"Who's the girl? She's a beauty hey Thommas?"
Angela smiled at him "Detective Angela MacMillan, its a pleasure Eddy"
The man behind the fold down door of the trailer lost his smile "Oh, ya know this seems to become quite the hotspot to da fuzz man, maybe I should shift shop"
"Relax Eddy, just give us the pies"
"Yes, I'd like your chicken one" Angela said.
"Commin right up beautiful" Eddy said standing into his trailer.
"So this is a regular for you?" Angela asked as they sat down.
"Yes, if it wasn't obvious that Eddy knew me" Tom answered.
"I see" she said scanning the surroundings, nicely shaded and not too busy, it was indeed a calm place to have a relaxing meal.
"So out with it?" He asked making her smile.
"I knew it, I'm being interrogated"
"If I had the nosiness of my partner I would have gone and look you up, but your life is yours, mine is mine..."
Her smile slacked "I told you I'm sorry"
He shrugged "Apology accepted, now tell me about Apex?"
Eddy brought them the pies and two cans of soda "Drinks on me fuzzballs" he said chuckling.
"Thanks Ed, any news?" Tom asked.
"About Moe?"
"Yes?"
Eddy looked at Angela sheepishly then took out a paper folded, handed it to Tom then gave Angela a wide smile "Sorry beautiful I just don't trust you yet"
"No worries" she said and bit into her pie.
Tom stuck the paper into his pocket as Eddy left then picked his pie up as well.
"You not gonna read that?" She asked.
"I first want to hear about Apex"
She dropped the pie on the table and cracked her can of soda, after she sipped the pie down she wiped her mouth, Tom saw she didn't want to talk about it, but then again, so did he about his past.
