The amount of negative energy directed towards them the moment she and Eric entered the diner was almost enough to make her shiver from how much she cringed. Their company was obviously not wanted and yet Eric walked right over to a table and took a seat. Shrugging, she followed, sitting down as the menus were pretty much thrown in front of them. Eric didnâ€™t even need to bring it up for her to be aware that there was a fair amount of hostility in the air; you could practically cut the tension with a knife. She agreed that they needed to get out of the before anything happenedâ€¦ like them having their food poisoned. With Ryanâ€™s little warning still in the back of her mind having their food poisoned wouldnâ€™t be all that surprising now that she thought of it.<br/><br/>With a nod of agreement, she went to follow Eric to leave when they, or more specifically Eric, were stopped by the cashier. The man shouted at them and said that â€˜theyâ€™ were going to come in angry and people would get hurt. Kat assumed they were probably talking about the men from Ryanâ€™s gang that had come in the other day. If that were the case, then perhaps they could tell her a bit more about this Ryan character or, possibly, information on Thomas. Suddenly she forgot all about being hungry, though she did say she was not that hungry to begin with, and once again her old habits were getting the best of her. Eric had made it clear to the man he was not looking for trouble, and honestly neither was Kat, but when the man was about to punch him Kat couldnâ€™t help but let old habits fall back into place and think about her job.<br/><br/>Maybe Eric was right. Maybe they did need to throw themselves at thugs to make things more interesting. His little nudge so to speak made her smile a bit rather than even remotely angry or irritated with him. They were running out of time and needed to find this Thomas character, assuming he was the one they were looking for, and question him.<br/><br/>â€œThereâ€™s a little cafÃ© located on the other end of the block,â€ Kat said, looking back towards the diner for a brief moment. It wasnâ€™t exactly the ideal place if youâ€™re looking for a full breakfast, as it only served pastries and coffee and other things cafes offered, but it was better than nothing. â€œI donâ€™t know about you, but I think we pay the diner another visit once we grab a bite to eat. Maybe we can get something out of these people that will put us on the right track to finding this Thomas character.â€ She smiled at him a bit while she led the way to the cafÃ©. She remembered it vaguely from her little night out, and she remembered how the owner didnâ€™t take too kindly to her just window shopping and then leaving without buying anything.<br/><br/>It made her wonder, if this was yet another association with the gang, just how much of this city Ryan and his gang ruled. Well, she was about to find out anyway. Sooner or later. Kat was, of course, someone who liked to get things done quickly and effectively. However, now that she was really thinking about it, food should be top priority. She hasnâ€™t really eaten much since yesterday herself and there was no use running on empty so to speak. Luckily the cafÃ© was closer than she remembered it and they got there in no time flat.<br/><br/>And once they were there she decided to hold the door for him for a change since she was the one leading.
