So it was that a short time later she found herself, heart racing standing outside 'Vista'. Jenny took a moment to compose her self but she couldn't help feeling skittish. Part of her wanting to run and the other part needing to find out if Steve was what she thought he might be.Taking a deep breath she walked in as the door was opened from the inside for her.

"Miss Jenny?" a dark suited man asked.

"Why, yes. Yes I am." She could feel the blood pound in her ears and all semblance of calm for a moment was gone.

"Come this way please, we have been expecting you." The man, perhaps the head waiter she thought led on into the Restaurant.

It was indeed a fine place, very 1920's and she felt as though she was in a film. Chandeliers glistened and a golden light feel over the room. She followed to the rear of the establishment and the man turned to her.

"May I take your coat Madam?"

"Huh? Ohhhh, yeah, I mean, yes, please do."

She took of her coat and duly handed it to the man. He draped it carefully over his arm and went to pull out a seat for her. The table was next to the wall which had large mirror on it. It was a few yards from tables either side and next to it and she sat down facing the rear of the room.

"Excuse me?" she said. The waiter turned his eyebrows raised. "Where is ... ummm..."

"You mean Mr Black Miss?"

"Errr, yes I guess so."

"Mr Black will be here soon Miss, but in the meantime he asked me to give you this." He took out a little box about the size of a paper back but twice as thick and place it before her on the white tablecloth. "Will that be all?"

"Yes, I guess." she said thoughtfully as she picked up the box.
