Lincoln parks in front of the dinner with the directional assistance of Amari, "Here?"Lincoln asks unstrapping himself as Amari nods.
"We saw her here" Amari assures him as they look out the window, "Look!" Amari points in the direction of Bernard, Bernard sat opposite Elena, as they engaged in a seemingly interesting conversation.
"I wonder what they're talking about?" Amari says with peaked curiosity as Lincoln nods.
Meanwhile
"What are you studying? Bernard asks curious, "My dad said law, so yeah that's what I've Been studying" Elena confesses as Bernard arches his brows.
"Your dad? Bernard rephrases as Elena nods in acceptance, "Is it your dad that's gonna attend the classes?", "No", "Is it your dad that's gonna listen to the bullshit problems of assholes clients?","No" Elena replies yet again.
"Then why are you studying law? Bernard asks as she looks away avoiding eye contact,"What do you want to become? Bernard asks.
"A drummer"Elena finally speaks as Bernard pauses literally,"A drummer?" Bernard asks as Elena nods, "I play at blinks bar Saturday nights during open mics" Elena confesses as Bernard just nods.
"I don't want to sound mean, I kinda feel like siding with your Father"Bernard confesses sighing, "it's an open mic, just for you to show your talent and have some fun", Elena says as she shrugs.
"Your parents, Do they know? bernard questions as she nods, "I have a drum set at my apartment, I usually hide it but I forget to hide the vital instrument" Elena explains.
"Drum sticks? Bernard says as she agrees with him, "That's when he told me I have no career prospect in life and have to get a real job, Now am learning law" Elena sums up.
"hm," Bernard sighs as he sips his drink, "Am thinking of leaving college to pursue my dreams in the big city" Elena suddenly discloses to Bernard's displeasure.
"you want to leave school? He asks to make sure his hearing was doing fine, and she nods assuring him, his hearing was fine after all.
"Why would you come up with such a senseless idea, what year are you in school? Bernard asks as Elena scratches her head.
"Second year, "Elena says a bit nervous at Bernard's stare, He was disappointed and didn't plan on hiding it.
"Are you diss-", "Yes, I believe you'll ridicule your parents by doing this" Bernard says to her, "Pursuing your dreams is nice, but you can't live in it if your dream job does not pay, forget it" Bernard adds.
"Do you know what my dream job was when I was a child? Bernard questions as she shakes her head, "A bus driver" Bernard speaks out shocking Elena.
"You wanted to drive a bus? Elena asks flabbergasted by his words, "I wanted to do a lot of things when I was a kid" Bernard says to her as he chuckles.
"I wanted to have my squirrel farm" Bernard discloses as Elena bursts into a laughing fit, "Squirrel!!"Elena continues her laughter as Bernard nods.
"Dream job is something that should be pursued, something a person derived pleasure in doing, not something that should be made a destiny and life goal" Bernard explains.
"If I was a bus driver I wouldn't have been here, I wouldn't be wearing a 50grand watch, Or driving a porch truck, or being able to travel to whatever part of the world I fit pleasing" Bernard sums up.
"You well made, what work do you do? Elena questions as Bernard arch his brows, "I own a bank" Bernard says as Elena claps for him, "Well done Bernard, I see why you have so much money" Elena says as Bernard shrugs.
"Make drumming a side job not a career okay," Bernard says to her as she pauses considering his words before sighing after much thought she God's in agreement.
"Good," Bernard says as they cheers.
***Meanwhile in the car**
Lincoln and Amari just watched them from inside the car attentively, "I wonder what they cheered to? Amari says curiously.
"That's between them, "Lincoln says as he starts the car, "Are we leaving? Amari asks as he nods, "that's enough spying for a day," Lincoln says as they drive off.
At that's name time Bernard gets out of the dinner escorted by Elena, "Thank you for taking me out, And for advising me" Elena thanks Bernard as he nods.
"It's okay," Bernard says as Elena swiftly pecked his cheeks before rushing off, Bernard smirked before getting into his car as he starting his engine driving off.
***********************
"Am bored" Amari confesses as Lincoln parks the car, "What do you want to do? Lincoln questions as Amari look around.
"There is a park over there, it's not dark yet, I want to go on the swings" Amari suggest, "The swings?"Lincoln asks as Amari nods.
"Oh and can we do tag to get there," Amari says as Lincoln nods, "Sure why not"Lincoln agrees, "If I reach the swing before you tag me I win and the game ends, but if you tag me before I reach the swi-", " you die"Lincoln cuts her short as she stares at him shocked.
"What no!!" Amari says horrified, "What?, Are you scared of death? lincoln teases as Amari puffs her cheeks, "oh it's on!" Amaru says as she dashes out of the car followed by Lincoln.
Meanwhile
Bernard was driving peacefully, he takes a turn as he steps on his brakes a few meters from Lincoln's car, and he spot the two discussing in the car.
Amari suddenly rushes out of the car towards the park, then Lincoln runs after her. Bernard's eyes widen at the scene as his greatest fear seems to be coming to a reality.
"Oh fuck, Lincoln finally snapped," Bernard says as he gets out of the car rushing into the park to save Amari.
Lincoln dives Amari to the ground, pinning her on the floor, he laughs mockingly at her, "Too easy"Lincoln moves as Amari rolls her eyes giving him sass.
"Whatever let me go" Amari groans as Lincoln rolls his eyes, "Not before I kill you," Lincoln says as Amari's eyes widen.
"What!!,don't shut me !"Amari says in fear as Lincoln pulls out his gun, pointing the back of her head, before retrieving and tilting the gun to the side-firing Two bullets to the ground.
Bernard who comes in at the gun shuts freezes going down on his kneels dramatically, in disbelief.
"AMARI!!!!!"Bernard screams.
