TWENTY FOUR

Raymond took his ringing phone out and groaned. "Hey Hayley"

"Raymond, I need to talk to you. Can we meet?"

"Sure. The Alexandra?"

"No. Too open. I know just the place"

Half an hour later he ran his eyes over the place Hayley had picked while getting out of his car. It looked nothing like The Alexandra but it was okay. He wondered why she would want to talk to him in a strange place where no one knew them. Between her and her husband, she was the level headed one. He'd heard stories of how JR had tried to win her over and let's just say he wouldn't use those methods to try and get Alexis. The man was, well, crazy. And that was putting it mildly. Locking his car, he stepped in the restaurant immediately beginning his search for Hayley.
