‘Is it safe to talk?’  The note said and Kelly let out an exasperated breath.

“Um” Kelly closed her eyes trying not to get irritated “yes it is” she said out loud.  A few minutes passed then the hand reappeared with another note.  She snatched the note two-ply note from the hand she recognized then read it.

‘How do you know?’  Another note was handed to her from under the wall.

“Oh come on” Kelly said threw the notes on the floor then saw the hand pick them up.

“Hey” Dawn’s voice said from the other side, “you’re supposed to flush those.”

“Why did you ask me to come here?”  Kelly closed her eyes and started to count backwards from one hundred in her head.

“I don’t trust anyone right now.” Dawn said in a low voice but no longer whispering

“What do you mean?”  Kelly exhaled heavily her patience wearing thin.

“I mean, I think one of my employees is working for them.” Dawn recalled seeing the Latina girl hitting on one of the other waitress’.  Dawn called her into her office and asked the girl her name in which the tanned tomboyish beauty in a high miniskirt replied with her a thick Hispanic accent ‘Gertrude mamacita’.  Dawn didn’t buy the alias but wasn’t going to ruin her chances of bedding the lovely Latina.  She was stunned when the girl dodged her advance and abruptly said ‘I gweet’ before making a hasty exit.

“That’s ridiculous, why would they spy on you?”  Kelly cleaned a piece of lint off her suit as she smirked at the obnoxious thought.

“Is it me or does it seem as if they’ve been a step ahead of us the whole time?”  Dawn looked at the wall separating her and Kelly.

“That’s possible, maybe one of you slipped up.”  Kelly looked at the wall separating her and Dawn.  If the wall wasn’t there they’d be staring into each other’s eyes in disbelief.

“Why does it have to be one of us?”  Dawn was offended that Kelly would characterize her as a fuck up.

“You’re changing the subject.”  Kelly dodged.

“No I’m not.”  Dawn hit the puck back.
