After some hesitation, Willie Ash tactfully decided against talking out loud, keeping all of his concerns to himself.
The breakfast restaurant was very peaceful in the early morning, with occasional laughter and conversation from people sharing tables. Perhaps due to the tranquil atmosphere inside the restaurant, conversations were naturally quiet and almost inaudible from a few tables away.
With curiosity permeating his thoughts, Willie Ash kept his ears open, occasionally checking on Flossie Wright. Seeing her order breakfast like a regular patron, then leisurely flipping through a newspaper, he couldn’t help but wonder. He thought Flossie was here for the same reasons as they were, but then he wasn’t so sure, realizing that Flossie, who hadn’t had any formal training, couldn’t possibly act so unbothered...
His thoughts felt increasingly muddled. The tenth time Willie looked in Flossie’s direction, his gaze froze—
Where is she?
The empty dining table, with a partially eaten breakfast and a newspaper left aside, was conspicuously lacking a person beside it!
"Cap...Captain..."
Willie Ash stammered out loud.
He’d been watching Flossie just moments ago, he should have had her every move under control. How could she suddenly disappear? Could she have turned invisible?
"She’s gone left, to the restroom." Glenn Hutchinson said, without even bothering to look up from his meal.
Willie Ash paused, then glanced toward the direction of the restroom, realizing that the table Flossie had occupied was quite close to the restroom, simple to enter just by taking a left.
Well then...
Was Flossie really in the restroom, or has she started making moves?
Willie Ash was full of conjectures, completely unsure of how to assess Flossie’s abilities.
"So, what about us?"
𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Eating an uninspiring bun, Willie Ash asked, sounding frustrated.
They were here for a purpose, unsure if it was the same as Flossie’s or not, but they were definitely here for a mission.
Initially, this mission was the police seeking help from the military district. However, it was rumored that Glenn Hutchinson was quite idle recently and happened to pass by the Brigadier’s place and undertook the mission on a whim. The mission was supposedly concentrated in this restaurant. According to reliable information from the police, a group of gun-carrying criminals were hiding in the restaurant, conducting drug deals. They didn’t inquire about how the information was leaked, but the source must be trustworthy.
Charging in now could provoke these armed criminals to act recklessly. Considering they had guns, an accidental discharge could inadvertently harm many innocent bystanders, so they could only advance to investigate the situation.
They just didn’t expect to encounter Flossie Wright...
"Eat breakfast."
Facing Willie’s somewhat urgent questioning, Glenn Hutchinson replied in a leisurely manner.
Of course, Flossie’s purpose was different from theirs. This information was only known to the Brigadier and those in charge of the mission, it would not be leaked. Given Flossie’s character, she would never intervene without reason. Even if she encountered such a situation, she would only avoid it, there’s no reason for her to put herself in danger.
Willie Ash was getting quite anxious at this point. He couldn’t believe that his captain was just casually eating breakfast, as though they were indeed here just for the meal. It was absolutely...
Heart-wrenching!
Feeling conflicted, Willie Ash had no appetite for breakfast. Even though Glenn Hutchinson suggested eating, Willie didn’t want to act without approval. So, he started stuffing food into his mouth, switching from his indifferent manner to wolfing down his food as if he was a different person. Within a blink, the steamed dumplings in front of him were all gone.
