they even died.  It seemed like she was a death magnet and there wasn’t any way to go past it.  As Jane looked at this, she felt sick to her stomach.
    “Damn this girl sounds nuts,” she said.  In another file it stated Alice was a big fan of Wiccan stuff and actually was part of a magic club that did weird and offbeat ceremonies and such.  It seemed weird and Jane definitely didn’t like that at all.  She felt like this woman was also hiding something that the system didn’t want to show or didn’t have the information to show.
    “She does.  But at least we know where she is now so we can go see her,” he replied.
    “True that.”  Jane got up and walked out of there, but just as she was about to leave Franklin called out to her.
    “So you’re still on for tomorrow right?  You lost the bet so you have to pay the price that I said,” he stated.
    Jane immediately groaned and wanted to put her head in her hands.  She didn’t want to go on a date with the man and would rather just eat dirt than do so.  It wasn’t fun and she didn’t really feel like doing this, but she wasn’t the type of woman to back down when given the challenge.
    “Yes we are.  Where do you want to meet?”
    “How about the coffee shop by here at noon?  That way we can go see Alice tomorrow.  I think we should go to the club before we do so,” he said.
    “Fine by me.   See you then,” Jane said.  She walked out and even though she hated the fact that she was going on a date with that man she knew there was no way around it.  She had lost and underestimated the monkey so now she had to follow what he wanted.  It wasn’t what wanted but she did have pride and she wanted to at least maintain a reputation of keeping her word. 
    As Jane got into the car she looked at the place and she immediately sighed.  Things were going to be very interesting tomorrow and she knew that it would going to test her skills to the fullest in many different ways. 

Chapter Seven
    Jane was at the café at noon waiting for Franklin.  Thankfully if he didn’t show up the station was nearby so she could just hang out there and do work while she killed time for night to show up.  Jane hated being stood up but at this point with her past she wasn’t surprised at all.  She knew this man was going to probably screw her over and mess with her if that was the case.
    Jane started to tap her fingers in annoyance.  Usually if anything, she was the one fashionably late not the man and this was a bit embarrassing to see.  Jane pulled out her phone and started to read book for a bit.  After about five minutes, Franklin appeared with two coffees.
    “Sorry I was late.  There was a bit of a line up front and I wanted to make sure that I got you the coffee you wanted.  You like mochas right?  I had the person make your favorite drink and they said it was that,” Franklin stated.  He gave the cup to Jane and she looked at him with a glance of surprise.  Usually no one got her drink right on the first try.  Most of them didn’t realize that she loves mochas and only drinks that and nothing else.  The man was impressive to say the least, even though he was still an idiot for the most part.
    “Thanks,” she said.  She started to sip the coffee as Franklin looked at her with a beaming glance.  He was silly, but he did have a very nice smile to him and Jane didn’t mind looking at him.
    “So did you make it home safely?” he asked.
    “I did.  You?”
    “Yeah.   Listen sorry about the thing with Alice.  I couldn’t control myself and I was being stupid.  I wasn’t thinking of what it would mean for you, and I felt like you were seething at me.  I’m sorry I was such a goddamn fool, and I’ll make sure that it never happens again,” he replied.
    Jane looked at him with shock on her face.  Normally men wouldn’t even bother to apologize about that.  They just rather let it go and Jane would try to put her anger away and try not to
