Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Another Team!?

Th group drives on the empty road for awhile before stopping at a diner on the edge of the city. The diner had a nice 50's aesthetic with a picture of a older large gentle man in a cute black and white logo on the side. The group park close by exiting and heading into the restaurant. "Well aren't those familiar faces and a new one too" says a dark skinned large rotund man welcoming the group as he walks up."It's a pleasure to see you Mr.Jones" Nia says with a warm smile. "Rev up those stoves cause we are starved Mr.Jones." Nia looks over to Cody disappointly "You know you can't be so hungry it prevents you from giving a proper greeting." "How are you Mr.Jones?" Dzzy says whilst Cody is chewed out by Nia. "I'm doing fine darling, I'm happy you guys came by to dine in again" Mr.Jones turns his attention to Andre.

"My name Mr.Jones welcome to the Spirit Hunters son I look forward too serving you great food for as long as you work spirit hunter." "I appreciate it I wasn't even aware that we had services like this to be honest." Andre admits still a little behind on the inside on the inside and outs. "Well feel free to get yourself caught up while yall eat sit sit, this one's gonna be on the hiuse" Mr.Jones says as he takes out a little note book and to write down their order. Cody speaks up first "Let's go with something light see I'll have three pork chops with four sides of macaroni and two glasses of Cherry Soda." "It still astounds me what your definition of light is" Nia says almost disgusted by gluttony showcased by Cody. "In his defense it's for sure the least amount I usually seen him eat." Dzzy orders next "I'd just like a Cheeseburger with a lemonade." Nia ordered next. "I'll have a sweet tea barbecue chicken, with an unsweetened tea with lemon." Dzzy and Cody stifle a laugh from the amount to be tea had in one order. "Look, you both should know that my order is perfectly reasonable." Andre is up next and he's unsure due to it being his first time as Andre looks closer he sees very specific items that really pique his interest this menu. "Oh yeah each one is customed made for each patron that comes here, though be careful its mostly guess work based on piror info they were given about you " Cody says. "Oh I see that makes a lot more sense now that I see I don't see anything you guys ordered.....". Andre looked intently at the menu before quickly making his order "I'll have the Espresso rubbed ribeye with an iced coffee and Coffee Jelly please." Dzzy looks to Cody and whispers "Woah your right he's just as bad if not worse than Nia." "Hey I have you know that this is a perfectly fine order to make for your information" Andre says feeling attacked a bit. After their food arrives they open a discussion to fill in Andre a little more on things that are shaky. "So I know Mr.Davis is our boss but whose exactly at the tope of the command?" Andre asks. Nia takes a sip of her tea and speaks "That would be Regina Everwater she's a multi-millionaire who found herself also visited by the Lady of the Garden after seeing that there were no true protections to keep spirits here safe when trying to find peace. She took matters into her own hands using her wealth to create the to recurut Spirit Hunters thus she pays salary for us and set up shops within The Spirit Side." "I see, speaking of teams though just how many teams are there though." Dzzy speaks up "ooooh i got this one Nia Well we don't know exactly but a good rule of thumb is a big city there's two teams typically, and there's Sprit Hunters all over the world too." Andre nods "I see that really helps thanks just one more question...who is the Lady of The Garden?" Dzzy thinks for a second before a proverbial light bulb goes off "She's less of a person and more of like the Spirit Side's big white blood cell." Andre blinks a bit before tilting a bit a little confused "Do you think you could elaborate a bit more on that if possible?" Dzzy nods "Sorry, let me make it a bit more clear..in the same way a white blood cell will fight an infection, The Lady of the Garden does the same just instead of directly interacting with the threat being the Lost One's, they travel to the regular world and approach those with the ability to become Spirit Hunters and basically gets there foot in the door to protect itself that way." Andre nods "Oh I think I understand I really appreciate the insight from both of you guys." Dzzy and Nia smile "No Problem Dre.", "It's the least we can do for you Andre." Cody after dowing his second Soda speaks up "I would have pitched in but well you know food is just too good" he says taking a huge chomp out of a porkchop. The group simply laughs this off before they all dig in and finish the meal before them. Andre smiles "Thank you for the meal" the group says stacking there plates and getting ready to head out. Mr. Jones waves them off "Thank yall for coming my doors are welcome anytime you hear." He says with a whimsical hearty laugh. The group begins to head back to the car. Andre's phone starts to ring right before they entered. "Hello?" Andre asks "Yo it's Andre glad to see the number works" Leon said from the other side. "Let me guess you got it from Cody?" he says heading inside the passenger seat. "You got it,but more importantly I just wanted to tell you that your payment for first couple of missions should be coming through soon and, I managed to get you a little bonus in there too" *he says feeling proud of himself. "I'll check that now" he says quickly looking eyes growing big at the amount he received it was double than a normal check he made at his old job. "Pretty good right" Leon says with a smile. "But one more thing you guys dont come to the office right away I got someone I want you guys a meet across the city" Andre ears perk up upon hearing this before he asks "Who are we meeting exactly?" Leon responds simply with "I figured you guys should meet the other team of the city"
