I shook my head, even though a part of me wasn’t so sure. “He just got out of the hospital. I haven't heard him or Kevin talking about anything like this lately.

“Then who could it be?

Who knows? Maybe we'd get lucky.

Even if it didn’t work out, we had nothing to lose.

Soon, we heard the waiter’s voice from outside. “Right this way, please.”
