Mia stood from her chair, grabbing her coat from the back of it and sliding it on. "Back already and the first thing you do is go to work? A guy could get jealous." A voice spoke from the doorway. Mia looked over her shoulder to her GM Daniel, a smile crossing her face. "Oh but if there was only a guy to make jealous." Mia responded, giving him a quick hug. "How are you?"
Daniel gave her a kiss on the cheek, his arms squeezing her tight when she hugged him. "Good now that the object of my affection is back."
"You and your womanizing I swear..."Mia commented. Daniel and her weren't dating, and she would never date him. They had gone to school together, and he was best friends with Jude, and Mia became to love him like a brother. But she couldn't help but pick on him at times. He really did -love- the opposite sex.
Daniel pouted."I can't help it. I'm just destined to give all the single ladies some Daniel lovin." he struck a pose, grinning at her with his 'You can't resist the Daniel charm' grin.
"Is that suppose to work?"
"Can't blame a guy for trying. So tell me how was your trip?"
Mia smiled brightly. "It was fantastic! I got to learn some interesting cuisines from different nationalities. There was this one mega star from Korea that was opening his first restaurant, and was asking my advice. I thought that was super cool. Totally didn't recognize him until he said his name was
Lee Phillip. We had a different cuisine every night and it gave me an Idea for here. Perhaps once a week we should have a special night whether we feature Greek, Italian, Mexican-"
Daniel held his hands up. "Whoa whoa.. you know that's going to take some time..Not to mention you where suppose to be on a holiday.. but let me guess..you found out about a Chef class taught by some famous chef that you couldn't resist.. and Lee Phillip who?"
Mia thought she could hear the faint sound of screaming. Raising a brow, she left her office, Daniel following in confusion. Pulling the blinds up, There was no sound of screaming, and Mia shook her head.
Must be tired.. Letting the blinds down, she thought she heard it again, only this time closer. Reopening the blinds, she saw no one.
Ok..perhaps I'm starting to hallucinate.."Did you hear that?" she asked Daniel, curiosity written on her face. He shook his head side to side. "I didn't hear anything...wait.. what's with all the screaming?" He inquired, tilting his head to the side as he gazed out the window himself.
"So you did hear it?"
"Just now."
A couple of civilians ran by at top speed, and within a few seconds, another group, only this one was larger. There was only a handful of people in the restaurant, and one of them had gotten some information that they gladly shared with everyone.
"Really?! Hey Frank, my sister says there's a mutant running rampant a few blocks away. He's tearing up the place, and it seems some other mutants just showed up. Look, she sent me a clip of it from her Cell."
Mia over heard, and rushed towards the table, snatching the cell phone from the guy's hands. "Hey!" he protested, trying to grab it back. But like a brother and sister playing, every time he went to grab it, Mia put it out of his reach every time. Up high, down low, to the side, and around the back, repeated.
The video was taken from a distance, and it was fuzzy. You could tell immediately that it was taken while she ran from the way the camera bounced up and down. Mia had to squint her eyes at some parts, trying to figure out who the big guy was. It looked like.. Juggernaut? She couldn't be certain from the video, but regardless, with it being a few blocks away, she couldn't stay open and risk people's lives. The fight may not make it this way, but if it did, she wanted no casualties.
Tossing the phone back to the guy finally, she looked at the occupants. "Ok.. So I need everyone to leave the store. I'm closing up shop due to this... incident.."
One of the patrons snorted. "I've already ordered my food and I'm not leaving until I get to eat it."
Mia walked over to his table, slamming her hand down on the surface, her eyes narrowing at him. "You'll thank me tomorrow when you are still alive. Now move it!"
"This is uncalled for. I wish to speak to the Owner!"
Mia smiled, giving him a small wave."You're speaking to her. Now. Get. Moving!" she hissed. the patron cleared his throat, looking unhappy all the way out the door.
"Mia what's going on?" Daniel said with concern.
"Just make sure everyone is out of here, leave everything where it is, send everyone home. I have something to do." Mia didn't wait for a response as she dashed out the door, running in the direction people where running from. She couldn't fight that was a fact, especially if it was against Juggernaut. At a time like this, she was torn in half. She wanted to help, and it hurt to know that she couldn't, but she could at least make sure that any and all civilians were evacuated. She would have to leave the fight to the X-men.
