Hands gripped the door handle carefully, pulling the door to the Mystic Moon Café open a little quicker than he had wanted. He held the door for the person behind him, uttering a routine ‘you’re welcome’ when he was thanked.<br/><br/>Much to Clayton’s surprise, as someone who does not visit the area often, the place was every bit what he expected. Yet oddly quiet, given recent events.<br/><br/>It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t the least bit tense, especially because he really didn’t have much to go on in the way of descriptions. Through the emails exchanged, he had gotten a feeling that the man known as ‘Darren’ was very sincere about their meeting. Nothing malicious had been sent to him, or hinted within his words. But he still could not be one-hundred percent sure that who he was meeting was who he said he was. That always went with internet meetings, especially when no images were give, didn’t it?<br/><br/>Clayton clutched the strap of his laptop case as he moved through the café toward who he hoped was Darren. At least, the man at the table seemed to match his mental image of him somewhat. The sleek, silver HP Envy laptop inside the case, with some pens and a few small notebooks shoved into the pockets, was practically attached to him. He took it everywhere he went and was always writing, writing, writing. Looking articles up on the internet, taking notes on whatever events might be occurring at the time. He planned to take a lot of notes during this meeting.<br/><br/>“Excuse me?” He said to the young man, still thinking of how he could approach, praying that he had the right person. There weren’t too many people in here, thankfully, so this man seemed to be the obvious choice. “Are you ‘Darren’?” He inquired, deciding it was best to just cut to the chase instead of being clever.<br/><br/>All things considered, this was an opportunity to hear something straight from someone else who didn’t turn a blind eye like the media. He was just itching to hear more from the guy! From one ‘insane’ individual to another. In a way, it was almost touching, two long lost lovers who met on the internet meeting for the first time. Hell, maybe he could ask Darren out on a date when all was said and done; ‘insane’ people were drawn to each other after all.<br/><br/>After forcing down a grin by drawing in a breath, Clayton expelled the thought from his mind in hopes of getting down to business.
