Highway to hell (OPEN)

[Persphone Abrams]

Persphone sighed as she began to take her daily orders. Usually she didn't mind her job, heck, there were even days she loved being here. However, another person had just been killed and the atmosphere was a sad one in the diner. No one barely spoke and when they did, it was to a waiter or a waitress for something.

This needed to end. Almost every single day, there was a report on someone being killed. It was beginning to sound as normal as what the weather was going to be tomorrow. Were the police even bothering to look for this guy anymore? Or were they just waiting for him to fumble to catch him. They probably wouldn't catch him even if he did fumble. Gah, how could people be so stupid?!

Thoughts of her siblings death popped into her mind and she felt herself losing it again. No, not now. She was at work and she did not need to flip. No way was she going to be deemed a nut. It took her forever to convince them she wasn't and to let her out of Nancy Regal's. Relax and breath She thought, taking a deep breath, closing her eyes. After a moment, she reopened them and smiled slightly. She felt more relaxed and calm, for the most part.

"Hello, how may I help you?" She asked a customer she went up to, who barely smiled at her as he told her what he wanted. Thoughts ran through her mind about how maybe the man might of known the person, a habit she picked up after the incident. "Okie dokie! Be right back with that!" She smiled, doing her best to stay as chipper as she possibly could. No one liked a depressed waitress.

Celia looked around the room, the air was tense. Everyone was afraid...who would be next? Did somone we know die? Celia was even scared...she hated to admit it but who wouldn't be? William told her nothing about the case, which for him was rare. So they department didn't know anything...or if they did they didn't want anyone know, even Celia who knew how to keep a secret. Celia sighed softly and picked ehr pad up, walking over toa table where a woman and kids sat. The children were adorible, two little girls with pgytails. Celia smiled at them then the woman, a reasuring smile. "what can I get for you ma'am?" She asked with a deep italian accent which made the little girls giggle for some reason.

After taking their order Celia went back to have it filled, while she waited she leaned against the counter thinking of the past few days. Three people had been murdered and the killer hadn't been caught. Katie was talking about sending Celia back to italy to stay with Troy, until they did catch the killer. But she didn't want to leave...call her stubborn, but this was her home now. She had friends here, katie and William were here. There was no way she was going to hide in Italy while her friends and family were here with the killer. Celia looked up as she felt someone brush past her, an older woman apprently coming to fill a order.

Celia wasn't sure what her name was, it was only her second day working, and she had been to busy with work...with the killer that she never bothered to ask. The woman looked upset...but who wasn't? "Cio (hello)" Celia said softly thinking that'd get her attention. "Is it always this slow?" She asked softly adding a smile to her question. "I'm Celia, I just started...like yesterday.

OOC: Sorry not the best

[Persphone Abrams]

Persphone turned to the sudden hello. It was the young girl who started only a few days ago. She had first been wry of her and did her best to avoid her. However, Persphone felt silly and soon realized the girl was just like everyone else.

"No, usually it can be very busy. But, a woman that came here often was just murdered, so everyone is a bit off edge." She explained, smiling sadly. She hadn't known the woman all too well and somewhere deep inside, she regretted it. "I'm Persphone. I apologize for not saying hello sooner. But, it's nice to meet you." She smiled back, turning when an order came up. "Oh, excuse me." She said, picking the order up and quickly delivering it to the table, ironically to one of the towns cops who she smiled at before walking back to Celia.

"That guy over there is actually one of the police officers here." She frowned, feeling somewhat bad about what she had thought earlier. "It's sad that they have to deal with all of this." She shook her head before turning back to Celia. "So, have you been living here long? I'm not sure I've seen you around before?" She asked, wanting to not think about the recent death.

OOC: It's okay^^
