_______________________________<br/><br/>It hadn't been more than a couple of days since they had last seen Tanis; Sinead even suspected that Avi had seen here at some point during the passing day. Avi had been working what felt like around the clock the last few days. Maybe that was why they had pulled in on the diner parking lot with such ease, despite it being past 3am in the morning.<br/>Sinead herself had just finished work, while Avi had gotten an early start on the day with an overnight arrest; Avi having planning to go into work at 6, they found themselves having a couple of hours to kill down town.<br/>It was Avi who opened the door, the bell chiming far above them. Despite the hour, a handful of people were scattered around the diner's booths and bar. Neither of them had had a clear idea whether or not Tanis herself was working this evening, thought it didn't take long for them to realise they had been in luck.<br/>A smile appearing onto her features, Sinead brushed her hand against Avi's elbow, urging him to follow with a soft touch. Stepping ahead, Sinead moved towards the bar and the familiar woman manning it.<br/>"Hi," Sinead said, voice soft and familiar as she placed her handbag on the counter. Though her husband joined her by her side, her eyes remained unmoving on Tanis. "Do you serve food at this hour?"
