As Steve stared in the general direction of Alligretti's, thinking, of course, of Jennipher Semmes, he noticed someone walking out of the treeline next to the restaurant. The man (it had to be a man, didn't it?) was limping and clutching his chest. It seemed he was angry about something. Instinctively, Steve took two steps forward, but halted, remembering Gar in the tux shop.
He ducked into the shop, signaled Gar over, and told him he'd be right back. Quickly, Steve went back outside, only to see the mysterious man - now wearing a black fedora to match his black trenchcoat - hail a car and climb inside. Concerned for the man's safety, Steve started toward the car. Before he got close, the car carefully turned out of the parking lot and headed off down the street. Steve found himself alone in Alligretti's parking lot, feeling foolish for thinking this man was in any trouble at all.
"Hey, man."
Shocked by the sound of a voice, Steve turned. Oh frick...it was Kevin, Jen's friggin' boyfriend.
