"I keep my distance from that woman, I can't stand her. I don't know how you serve her every single day and not just throw something in her face."
Gail blinked. Throwing anything in the Mayor's face was the furthest thing ever from her mind. The woman terrified her and she couldn't exactly say why. Imagining it didn't bring the same sense of satisfaction it did when imaging doing something like that to the town diva or one of the other few pain in the ass customers. Rather, the thought gave her the same sense of terror as poking an angry bear or taunting a pissed off cobra. Gail suppressed a shudder.
"It's strange she wouldn't seem happy about the clock moving." "Perfect cup of coffee, Gail."
Gail smiled a thank you at the compliment then leaned, speaking conspiratorially. "Have you ever seen her seem happy about anything?"

"Have you ever seen her seem happy about anything?" Scarlet couldn't remember the last time she saw Regina happy. Gail was right, she didn't recall ever seeing her genuinely happy.
"That woman is terrifying but I'm sure something makes her happy." Scarlet continued to sip her coffee, taking out her phone to send a group text to her biker friends. 'Anyone up for a few drinks tonight? Mama needs to cut loose.' She turned the screen off and placed it beside her, waiting for her meal. "Maybe one day we'll see her happy about something- or maybe it's wishful thinking." Scarlet gave her a little wink.

“Maybe,” Gail agreed, though her tone portrayed that she was skeptical about that. It was kinda sad, really.
Gail saw another customer glancing over with that ’we’re ready for the check’ look and excused herself from Scarlet’s company for the time being.
As she totaled the check on her way over, she started thinking about recent events. Henry had disappeared only to return with a stranger he claimed was his real mother and a defiant animosity toward Regina. Was it any wonder why the woman seemed to radiate a scary intensity? Well, more so than usual. It made her realize there was so much she didn’t know about Regina. She was basically a stranger with her complete lack of personability toward anyone.
With a smile, Gail placed the check on the table. “Here you are. Just take it up to the register when you’re ready. I hope you enjoyed your meal!”

Scarlet didn't really much care about Regina, she kept her distance unless she had to. The last time she saw the mayor, Regina was yelling at her about the noise of their motorcycles. She expressed they weren't hurting anyone and it was a mode of transportation, she remembered that Regina didn't like her speaking her mind. She held her ground and in the end, she was let off with a warning, the girls continue to ride every weekend.
Scarlet smirked at the texts back from her friends, they were all willing to head down to the bar later and shoot some pool.
"Look at me making actual nonworking plans," She held up her phone as Gail came back with her food. "You should join us at The Rabbit Hole, shoot some pool and have a few drinks. It would do you some good to get out of this place and let off some steam. You are way to young to turn yourself into Gran-," She paused as Granny walked by and gave her that look, "Evenin', Ma'am." She waited until she was gone and lightly jerked her head to the side, "She scares me way more than Regina." She laughed before taking a bite of her burger, "Damn that's good."

Ruby sighed as her last table walked out the door, collecting her tip and slipping it into her apron pocket. A little bit more to go into the car rehabilitation fund, she thought, silently fuming when she remembered the large key scratches now marring her cherry red paint job. What a jerk.
With no other tables in need of her attention, Ruby moved on to clearing and wiping down tables. With the slow, relaxed dinner atmosphere in the diner, she couldn't help butting in when she overheard Gail's and Scarlet's conversation.
"I don't think I've ever seen Mayor Mills actually happy about anything. She takes resting bitch face up to a whole new level." She finished up a table and made her way closer to the women. "Hey Scarlet!"

"Look at me making actual nonworking plans," "You should join us at The Rabbit Hole, shoot some pool and have a few drinks. It would do you some good to get out of this place and let off some steam. You are way to young to turn yourself into Gran-,"
The look on Scarlet's face gave away that Granny had passed by behind Gail.
"Evenin', Ma'am."
Gail managed to hold back giggles at Scarlet's expression until Granny was out of earshot.
"She scares me way more than Regina." "Damn that's good."
Gail smiled at the compliment on behalf of the cook.
"I don't think I've ever seen Mayor Mills actually happy about anything. She takes resting bitch face up to a whole new level." "Hey Scarlet!"
Gail's eyes widened at the brashness of her fellow waitress. She made a cutting motion with her hand at her throat as Ruby finished and made her way over. "Regina's got snitches everywhere," Gail reminded Ruby in a whisper. "Someone might tattle."

"I don't think I've ever seen Mayor Mills actually happy about anything. She takes resting bitch face up to a whole new level. Hey Scarlet!"
"I couldn't agree with you more. Hey Ruby, you coming to the rabbit hole tonight? A few of the girls are coming out for drinks and some pool." Ruby was always fun to be around, she certainly brought life to the party. "If you can sneak away for a bit," She knew Granny was a stickler for the rules and Ruby tended to drive her nuts. Her attention was brought over to Gail, her giving the cutthroat signal. "You thinking about slitting some throats tonight, Gail?" She teased.
"Regina's got snitches everywhere, Someone might tattle." That was true, the mayor had all kinds of people under her thumb. All three of them had a reason to worry if someone ran off to the mayor.

Gabriella had been up early and walking from business to business, making use of public announcement boards or clearing with the owner the posting of the fliers she'd printed when she'd gotten home late last night. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Will's Itty Bitty Wonderworld has suffered minor fire damage. William Robinson has been a kind and giving member of the community. Looking for volunteers who would like to show the same kind and giving spirit by helping with repairs and refurbishment so that he has a home and store to return to when released from hospital.
Costs are covered. Supplies and paints have been purchased. Additional tools and paint supplies would be helpful but it is your dedicated time and work that would be most appreciated.
Work to begin noon Friday and continue at all hours throughout the weekend until completed. Volunteers are welcome to report for whatever times are convenient.
Thank you.

Gail had been tending to the few town early birds when Gabriella had walked in with her fliers.
Knowing that Ruby and Granny would be perfectly okay with it, Gail had Gabriella leave a small stack behind; one for the door, one for the announcement board, and some to hand out. Gabriella had taped one to the door on her way out and Gail had taken pleasure in pinning the other on the announcement board.... mostly overlapping Vanessa's most recent attempt at putting yet another of her play fliers on the board.
As if there wasn't anyone in town who didn't already know with the way she boasted about it.
Gail had returned to catering to the customers and chatting, catching herself up on what was going on in their lives.

*Sounds of Motorcycles can be heard coming down the street. A few moments later the door to Granny's opens and in comes Scarlet and two of her friends Noel and Terri*
*Enters from Main Street Outside of Shops and Diner*
When the girls entered they noticed the flyer almost instantly. "We should help out, yeah?" They nodded in agreement before finding a seat, sliding into a booth. "Text the girls a picture of the flyer. We'll hang out here and just ride over to William's place or walk." Terri nodded and got the text train going, this time the girls sent agreements and thumbs up. "Noel, after breakfast stop by the unit and see if we have any extra tools, paint, anything that can be of use?"
"Sure, Scar."
"Great, let's do what we do." Scarlet smiled at the girls before waving at Gail, "Morning, Gail. You remember Terri and Noel?" The girls smiled and removed their sunglasses.

Gail heard the motorcycles coming from a mile away and smiled, knowing it was going to be a good morning. Not only were Scarlet and her biker friends lively company that turned the diner into a sort of mini-party, they were also good tippers.
She watched them take notice of the fliers and even snap pics on their phone to send out. What a great group of ladies. Tough yet caring. With their close knit good sized group, they alone would be a big addition to the number of volunteers.
Gail waited patiently as the ladies discussed details of collecting more tools as well.
"Morning, Gail. You remember Terri and Noel?"
Gail gave a single arching wave to the ladies. "Mornin'!" she said cheerily. "Of course I do! Coffee, black as sin," she said with a point at Terri then turned her pointing finger to Noel, "and coffee with cream, sweet as sin," she finished with a prideful wink at her skill for memorizing everyone's preferred method of caffeinating.

"Mornin'! Of course I do! Coffee, black as sin," Terri Snap her fingers and pointed, basically saying that Gail was spot on. "and coffee with cream, sweet as sin,"
"I don't know how you do it, you remember every single breakfast order. I can barely remember where I leave my keys in the morning." Terri hooted and straightened herself in the booth.
"Well lucky for all these people you don't work here." Scarlet whacked her with a bunched up napkin. "We saw the flier on the door about William's place. I'm glad something is being put together for him," Scarlet motioned between them, "we messaged the girls, we're all going to head over after lunch and give a hand. Expecting some of the others will be arriving soon."

Gail handed out menus and was smiling as the ladies engaged in friendly ribbing. People did have a few usual food orders they tended to stick with but the choice of how they got their dose of caffeine in the mornings rarely changed.
"We saw the flier on the door about William's place. I'm glad something is being put together for him," "we messaged the girls, we're all going to head over after lunch and give a hand. Expecting some of the others will be arriving soon."
Impressed, Gail's eyebrows raised. "All of you? Psh," she said with a dismissive wave, "that place will be better than new by the end of the weekend."
Gail recalled the quiet and elusive woman who'd come in with the fliers. She'd seemed unsure of the response she'd get from them but had had a determined front. Gail smiled wistfully as she imagined how surprised the woman would be when most of the town showed up later today.

"All of you? Psh, that place will be better than new by the end of the weekend." Scarlet smiled and waved at Gail with a smirk.
"We do what we can for this community because we're apart of it. As much as people hate our motorcycles they can't deny we do a lot around here." Scarlet straightened herself up as Gail handed over the menus. "You know, I think I'll shake things up today and spoil myself. I'll take the lumberjack breakfast, scrambled eggs with Toast and Bacon instead of Sausage." The whole Lumberjack also came with Pancakes and Homefires, Terri and Noel looked horrified.
"Are you trying to kill yourself? All that fatty grease," Terri shook her head before making her order. "and I do believe my eternal clock is ready for lunch. I'll have the BLT with fries."
"You need to be careful, that is one hell of a meal. And on top of all those sweets you consume, you're going to give yourself a heart attack." Noel sighed, "and I'll have a Turkey and Cheese on wheat, no mayo and a bit of mustard."
"I might consume but I counteract it with my daily workouts." Noel and Terri stared her down and Scarlet sighed, "Fine, you win. Cancel the lumberjack and I'll get the one egg, with Bacon and Toast."
"That's our girl." Terri patted her head.

Gail listened to the ladies, first with their comment regarding people hating their motorcycles. By "people", they all knew that meant Regina. It's not as if the gang was disrespectful, riding and raring their engines at inappropriate hours.
She jotted down their orders, smiling into her order pad as Terri and Noel berated Scarlet for her hearty appetite.
"Fine, you win. Cancel the lumberjack and I'll get the one egg, with Bacon and Toast."
"That's our girl."
That was significantly a lot less food. Who in the world would be filled up one egg, bacon, and toast? Gail made some striking motions onto the pad and wrote changes.
"Got it!" she said cheerily. "I'll get that going for you ladies right away."
Order pinned and turned toward the kitchen, Gail prepped all their beverages and placed them on the table without interrupting their conversation, giving 'you're welcome' nods to thanks given. She quickly took care of the other tables and when the cook hit the order up bell, Gail filled a tray and made her way back to the biker ladies.
"Here we are," she said, balancing the tray with skill as she removed one dish at a time and handed them out.
"BLT with fries," she placed it in front of Terri, "Turkey and cheese on wheat, no mayo, little mustard," she placed it in front of Noel, "and an egg, bacon, and toast for Scarlet." She placed down the plate in front of Scarlet, putting on a surprised expression when she noticed the two pancakes on the plate as well. "Oh, I must have forgotten to cross that out. My apologize for the inconvenience. They're on the house." Gail grabbed the last small item on her tray and placed the warm syrup in front of Scarlet. "Guess I'm not as good at this waitressing thing as I thought," she added with a wink to Gail.

"I'll get that going for you ladies right away."
"Thanks, Gail." Scarlet checked on her phone, making sure her friends were getting up to start the day. They all had a late night but Scarlet knew this would mean a lot to William.
Chat Group: The Amazons
Queen of the Sca Sca: First off, stop changing my name to weird things.
Queen of the Sca Sca changes nickname to Scarlet.
Scarlet: Second, feel free to meet up for food or just head over to William's place.
The girls started to sound off in the chat, causing Scarlet to roll her eyes. Terri and Noel cracking jokes about the girls changing each other's names. They thanked Gail again when she came over with coffee's and placed them down.
While waiting, some of the girls said they were on the way.
"Here we are, BLT with fries, Turkey and cheese on wheat, no mayo, little mustard, and an egg, bacon, and toast for Scarlet." Scarlet saw the pancakes and couldn't help the smile that escaped her. "Oh, I must have forgotten to cross that out. My apologies for the inconvenience. They're on the house." Terri and Noel chuckled at the 'mistake' and shot Gail a playful look. "Guess I'm not as good at this waitressing thing as I thought,"
"Best mistake ever," Scarlet winked.
The sounds of motorcycles could be heard once again, several engines coming to a halt just outside. A minute later the bell above the door dinged and in came a few more women. Kathy, Dani, and Dakota walked over to the booth and greeted their friends. "Queen Sca Sca," Dani teased and leaned in to kiss her cheek.
"I'll Accept your nickname, as I'm certainly the Queen." Scarlet winked and stuffed a bit of egg into her mouth.
"Hey, Gail, when you get a minute!" Dakota waved her over, "I'm starved."

"Yes, Ferguson. Reschedule my ten o'clock meeting and forward any business calls to my voicemail. I'm taking the day off."
Phone attached to his ear, Finnick forced his way through the chiming door into Granny's, exhausted as they come. Finnick had his share of an eventful evening last night, that was certain. First, he took his client Vanessa out for a lavish dinner that was clearly more than just a business meeting. That went horribly wrong when Vanessa lost her voice, sounding like she had swallowed a frog or two. Second, he arrived late at home where his wife Flora had been waiting at the dinner table with a surprise candle lit dinner for their anniversary that had grown cold from sitting for hours. After Finnick found out that Flora had discovered where he had been and with who, tearful arguing ensued which ended with Flora tossing a packed duffle bag at Finnick and pointing a single finger at the door. Finnick tossed and turned at Granny's bed and breakfast where he tried to get some sleep for the night, but was unsuccessful. Finnick screwed up, he knew that he had been blinded by his own selfishness and in the end allowed spiteful behavior to take over instead of dealing with the situation as a loving husband would. Finnick knew that both him and Flora had some thinking to do, about everything. But for now, he needed coffee and an advil.
"Thats on a need to know basis, Ferguson. No, i don't care how you do it, just do your job and take care of it!
Hanging up his phone, Finnick let out an exasperated sigh of frustration before plopping himself down on one of the bar stools at the front counter. He peered right and left behind the counter to try and find a waitress to take his coffee order. Where is all the decant help around this cursed town these days... Finnick rubbed the stubble on his chin agitatedly as he put his phone away in his pocket.

While Gail clipped another order to the ticker holder, she turned to see who'd set the little bell to ringing. A man entered, one who didn't usually frequent the diner, but she recognized him nonetheless. Gail was more familiar with his assistant who frequented the diner for coffee every morning on this man's behalf. Finnick, was it? She believed that's what it was, thinking over the bit of gossip she shared with the assistant who tended to complain about his boss. What assistant didn't, particularly ones who were sent on coffee runs?
He was on his phone and looked upset. Despite whatever his assistant might have said about him, Gail's heart always went out to people who appeared unhappy. It could be the reason for the way they were. Or visa versa. She didn't know the man so she didn't linger on false judgment. Despite it all, it was her job as a server to make sure customers were happy.
"Hey, Gail, when you get a minute!" Dakota waved her over, "I'm starved."
Gail's attention momentarily went to the booth. She gave Dakota a thumbs-up in acknowledgment then held up a pointer finger signal of 'just a sec'. She ducked behind the counter, grabbing a coffee cup and the fresh pot of coffee on her way.
"Mornin'," she said, filling the cup then pulling over the creamer and sugar from the next seat. "Coffee, two sugars, two creams?" she asked in case she was wrong in assuming who she thought he was.

The ding over the door had Scarlet looking up from her food, instinct. She knew the guy, seen him around but didn't pay much attention to him.
"Thats on a need to know basis, Ferguson. No, i don't care how you do it, just do your job and take care of it! He seemed angry about something, she would be keeping an eye on him... angry people usually meant trouble. Just let him try and take his frustrations out on Gail...
"Dakota, sit- she'll be over in a minute." One of the girls shoved her into a seat
"Once you finish eating, head right over to William's place. We'll do what we do, get William's place back to normal." Scarlet smiled.

"Mornin',""Coffee, two sugars, two creams?"
“Ah, help has arrived,” Finnick bore a tone that oozed of sarcasm, though he was so tired that he allowed the unnecessary wait for his morning brew would be swept under the rug for now. “I’ll be getting a...” Waving a finger in the air in demand, Finnick froze mid sentence as the woman was already preparing his usual, “...Oh. Yes of course, my usual.” It had slipped his mind that Munroe made Granny’s the official go to for the office coffee runs. Having never stepped foot into the establishment himself, he was rather surprised but not shocked. Finnick thought of himself as rather a big deal around town - or so he thought.

“Ah, help has arrived,”
His comment, especially with the oozing sarcasm, explained Munroe's stony expression when picking things up on his boss' behalf. Withdrawn though Munroe was, she hadn't been exactly sure if it was his reaction to people in general or if it had something to do with the person he'd be returning to with the order. Gail guessed possibly both with a smidge more on the scale of the latter.
“I’ll be getting a...” “...Oh. Yes of course, my usual.”
Gail maintained a friendly yet professional expression throughout. "Mr. Lorne, correct?" she asked, stirring in the two sugars and two creams then placed the coffee in front of him. "My name is Gail. I'll be serving you today." She usually balked at the term 'serving' but the air of cocky importance that radiated from him gave her the feeling it was a term he rather enjoyed the thought of. 'Napoleon Complex', she told herself so she'd feel better about going against her own principles. There was no harm in a little pandering. An unhappy customer had a way of ruining the day of the person attempting to provide them service. "Just your usual coffee or would you like to look over the menu?"

"Mr. Lorne, correct?" "My name is Gail. I'll be serving you today."
“Yes, I do believe that is what they call me,” Finnick didn’t attempt to hide his arrogance in response to the woman behind the counter just before she introduced herself. Receiving the piping cup of brew into his hands, Finnick gave an acknowledgeing nod in Gail’s direction as she announced that she would be his server for the time being. Poor girl, she must be star struck to be serving one of the biggest names in town, Finnick was amused by this thought as his smug grin perched at the edge of the cup for a sip.
"Just your usual coffee or would you like to look over the menu?"
Lowering the coffee cup slightly, Finnick peered down at the menu on the counter, however he slightly wrinkled his complexion at the selection as none of the items were up to par with his so called standards, “Just coffee, my dear...and I didn’t see advil on the menu but this gentleman could really use a couple about now.” Finnick exasperated as he felt the pounding in his head resurface once more.

His arrogance was overwhelming but at least he was being respectful. Save for the insult he gave the menu when she spotted his features wrinkling in distaste when he eyed it. It was almost awe inspiring, the way he perched at the edge of the stool, preening like a royal peacock. What must it be like, to be so confident? If it wasn't for the fact it was unwarranted, she might be jealous.
"Ah. That is a secret menu item," she said conspiratorially with a cheeky grin. "Coming right up."
In a flash, Gail had returned from the first aid box in the back with a couple Advil presented on a saucer. "Here you are. I'll be back to check on you in a few," she promised before grabbing a coffee pot and pitcher of water on her way back around the counter to tend to Scarlet and her friends.
"Mornin', ladies," she said to the three new arrivals as she refilled coffee mugs and water cups. "Thank you for your patience, ladies." She gave them a bright smile then placed the pot and pitcher on the vacant table behind her and retrieved her order pad and pen from her apron. "What can I get started for ya?" she asked the three new arrivals, attention first on Dakota as she'd been the one to proclaim her starvation upon entry to the diner.

Finnick seemed to calm slightly and he was kind to Gail, so Scarlet returned to her table. The bikers ladies were chatting, picking off plates and having a good time. "Dakota," Scarlet slapped her hand as she reached for a piece of her bacon. "You're going to pull back a stub if you do that again. They shared a laugh, which died down when Gail came over to take orders.
"Mornin', ladies, Thank you for your patience, ladies. What can I get started for ya?" The ladies started to give off requests, some for breakfast and others lunch. All the while exchanging info about how they could help out at William's.
"Gail, that pompus ass, he gives you any trouble let us know. Yeah?" Scarlet motioned towards Finnick.

Gail jotted down their orders then returned the order pad to her apron and tucked the pen behind her ear.
"Gail, that pompus ass, he gives you any trouble let us know. Yeah?"
"Eh, I can handle him," she said with a dismissive wave. "He's actually been fairly pleasant." Gail definitely picked up on the underlying personality that Monroe quietly complained about under his breath during the times she managed to coax a bit of conversation out of him.
Gail leaned down, adding quietly, "I've dealt with far worse." She'd glanced around to be sure the offending person wasn't in attendance. Lucky for her, she wasn't. "I know I can count on you having my back as long as I keep bribing you with pancakes." Gail winked at Scarlet with a cheeky grin then headed to put their order in.
"We had a busy morning," Gail said as she reached the kitchen pick-up counter just behind Ruby. When Ruby finished clipping her order up, Gail followed suit. "We've got ourselves a new face. Just coffee. Apparently too posh for our menu," she said, discreetly flicking her eyes in the direction of the man at one of the stools. "Nice enough though, in his own way. How've your tables been?"

"Ah. That is a secret menu item," "Coming right up."
Finnick nodded as his fingertips lightly grazed his forehead. Oh, how badly he wanted to just take that duffle bag waiting for him back in his temporary room and just get away. Even if it was just for a few days to clear his head. The consideration of the thought took place. Though, his empire was the most important thing to him and there would be no way he would allow anyone to run the show, Munroe especially. So Finnick would have to stay.
Before Finnick could think about his next move to win back his wife, Gail returned with his special side order of pain relief.
"Here you are. I'll be back to check on you in a few,"
"Very good," Finnick commented sharply before rapidly tossing the medication back, as he couldn`t bare to not think straight much longer, "Thanks," Finnick remarked his thanks to the side out of obligation before his gaze snapped to his cell phone which was buzzing with urgency.
"Can`t anyone let a man be at peace with his morning coffee!" With a groan and an eye roll, Finnick grabbed the phone off the counter to answer. "Yes?!... "...

"We had a busy morning,"
A small sigh escaping her lips, Ruby clipped her orders up. Busy was good. Busy could keep her running on autopilot. At least enough so that she could avoid thinking about...well, things that she didn't want to think about. She continued her streak of avoidance by putting her full attention on the other waitress.
"We've got ourselves a new face. Just coffee. Apparently too posh for our menu," "Nice enough though, in his own way. How've your tables been?"
New faces had a way of sparking interest in Ruby and she immediately followed Gail's look to the well-dressed, though slightly disheveled man sitting at the counter. "Well, well, well. We don't often have the honor of entertaining the likes of Finnick Lorne in our humble establishment," she replied with a delicate raising of her eyebrow, "I'm not surprised. He spent the night at the B&B."
Ruby grabbed the hot carafe of coffee, expertly filling several mugs she'd placed onto a tray while she continued in a grumble, "Same old Friday morning crowd."

"I'm not surprised. He spent the night at the B&B."
Gail cringed on Finnick's behalf. "Really." She'd said it as a statement, not asking for details as it wasn't her business. She found herself feeling kind of bad for him, despite the fact it was probably his own fault.
"Same old Friday morning crowd."
Another order was ready and Gail placed it on her tray, patiently awaiting the last one for the ladies. "The biker bunch is here. They're heading to help at the toy shop after. I believe I saw a certain handsome blonde guy heading that way this morning," Gail said, bumping her shoulder against Ruby playfully. "If you're feeling the sudden urge to volunteer, I could handle things here."

"...I suppose I have some connections that could lend a hand...but I would very much like to discuss these matters in detail. Meet me at my office in thirty minutes, can do you that?...Very well." Finnick's thumb hit the red end button on his mobile phone as he stared in space for a brief moment. The mystery of this young woman's timing left Finnick completely astonished, for if this bargain worked out in his favor then he would not only gain his reputation back but possibly his marriage. This was his moment. His attention hastily returned back to his phone as he made a call.
"Ferguson! Yes...keep my calls and meetings on hold, all except for one. I will be there shortly." Finnick dipped his face into his coffee cup to finish off the last few drops of the brew before standing up to slip out of the diner. He looked at the waitress in the distance that had been gracious enough to help him in his time of need, then to the space on the front counter where his empty cup sat. He fumbled in his pocket for a few generous sized bills and placed them under the empty cup before making his exit.
