Chapter Five

5;03 PM, Sunday

Location; Knollington Road

April Sat on The Black Leathered Car seat, Fiddling with the strap of her Purse Bag.

They'd Been driving for 15 Minutes down Knollington Road to the unspecified Location Neil was talking about.

She Looked at Neil as he Puffed out more smoke from his Cigarette on one hand and Driving the car on the other.

Where was he taking her?

"Uh, Neil?" April asked, Slowly Reaching for The knife in her Purse.

"Where are we going?"

Neil Smiled, eyes still on the Road.

"We're here!" He Exclaimed as April Turned to look and her mouth opened Agape.

Nestled in a somewhat peaceful countryside setting Stood a sort-of cottage restaurant that exudes charm and warmth from the moment you see it.

The car parked just near it as Neil left, Opening the door for April.

She Smiled politely, Grabbing Neil's Hand as they Walk to the Timber Wood doors.

The Knobs and Knocker is Golden and The Woodwork is highly detailed.

Neil Opened the door and smiled, Letting April Go in first.

She stepped inside and was enveloped in the inviting ambience of the cozy dining room, with its exposed wooden beams and rustic decor.

The air is suffused with the mouthwatering aroma of home-cooked meals, and the crackling fire in the stone fireplace casts a warm glow over the room.

The friendly staff greets April and Neil with genuine smiles and invites Them to take a seat at one of the comfortable wooden tables draped in checkered tablecloths.

"Ah, Welcome back Mr. Rosario." A female Waitress approached, giving them menus.

"And You've brought along a date." She said happily as April looked away and stared at the Given Menu

As She peruses the menu, her eyes notice that the dishes are inspired by traditional recipes, featuring locally-sourced ingredients and prepared with care and attention to detail. The selection includes hearty stews, succulent roasts, freshly-baked bread, and decadent desserts that are sure to satisfy any craving.

The service is attentive but never intrusive, and the atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried.

"And for you Ma'am?" The Female asked as april shook her head.

"I'll uh.."

She paused and looked again at the Menu.

"I'll have The Ploughman's Lunch." She Smiled as the waitress took their orders and Left.

After The Female left, Silence took over the table. Neil and April Stared at each other Awkwardly waiting for the food.

She fiddled with the strap again and looked away from Neil as He coughed to break up the tension.

"So uh.." He said, Looking at her hair.

She grabbed the Glass cup filled with water and Drank it, Raising her Eyebrow.

"That's A wig, Ain't it?"

April coughed out the drink, Wiping the water on her cheek.

"W-What? No, it's not!" She exclaimed, Panicking.

Neil sighed.

"You don't need to lie to me." He smiled as April stared into his Emerald Green eyes.

"B-But i wasn't" She Panicked again as Neil Sighed, Rubbing His Temple.

"Your, Uh, Hair is Sticking Out."

Her eyes widened.

April's Identity was Compromised.

She Opened her Purse bag and took out a small Mirror and pointed it on her forehead.

A Sliver of Burgundry escaped from her wig and was Swaying against the wind from the Air conditioning.

"Hey, Hey, Don't worry. I won't judge, Jeniffer."

Jeniffer.

Maybe He just thinks that she wears a wig.

That's all

Right?

She couldnt tell if he was lying or not.

Did she trust him?

Well, One way to find out.

She Sighed and slowly took off her wig, Her Burgundry Hair was now Showing, With her Streaks of white on her Bangs.

Neil Looked in awe at April's hair as she took her wig off, His smile getting warmer.

She took a deep breath and took it off completely, As Neil smiled.

His words surprised her.

"Now why did you need to hide that? It's beautiful" He smiled as April's eyes Started to water.

Never had people called her hair Beautiful. Only 'Ugly', or 'Stupid'.

She wiped her eyes to avoid tears escaping from it's sockets and Smiled at Neil.

He Was kind.

He Was Caring as The News Suggests.

She opened her mouth to speak but the waitress Walked over with their dishes.

"Alright, Your Ploughman's Lunch." She dropped the plate infront of April as she smiled.

"And Your Sheaperd's Pie." The female placed it infront of Neil as he nodded.

"Alright, Enjoy!" She smiled and Left as April looked at the plate of Bread, Cheese and Cold Cuts.

She hadnt gotten enough time to browse the Menu and ordered the first thing she laid eyes on.

"Oh." Was all she could mutter and Laughed.

Neil Raised an eyebrow at April's sudden gesture.

"What's wrong?" He asked her as she Stopped laughing and wiped her tear from her eye.

"I didn't expect my food to be like this." She Chuckled And Neil snickered.

"Did you not read the Menu?" He Asked Snickering as he waved his fork.

She nodded and Smiled At him, Fixing the strap of her bag.

This was nice, Actually.

She was having fun with him

She could just forget about-
Oh shit-

The mission.

She Coughed a bit to get Neil's Attention.

"Uh, Excuse me." She Whispered and Stood Up, Walking to the Bathroom.

She pushed open the Wooden door and Went into one of the Blue Painted Stalls, Opening her Bag, Stared at her Small Taser and grabbed the knife.

Her eyes had a hint of Doubt as she Held the tip of it, Imagining herself Slashing him in the throat.

The crimson Red blood gushing out of his throat as he tried calling for help, Stumbling around before perishing away, Alone, On the floor of his house.

His eyes meeting hers, With a look of betrayal in his eyes as he lay motionless on the floor near her feet.

Could she do this?

Could she kill the man that she was falling for?

What would her mother say?

No weaknesses, April. Weaknesses like love will not help you fulfill your Goal.

Your goal to avenge me.

She took a deep breath and stepped out of the stall, Washing her hands on the sink and exiting the Bathroom.

A Sort of Smile on her Face.

Leaving her Knife Hidden Below the pile of Garbage in the Bin of the Stall.
