Chapter 21:- Insight

Eyes narrowed, the waiter reassessed Stephen. Then, with a smirk, he poured him some tea. "That is correct. You've remarkable insight, sir."

Chapter 22:- Affinity

"I'm, uh... right?" The unexpected reply took Stephen off guard.

"It seems you have a great affinity with our restaurant," the waiter said.

Chapter 23:- Him and you

The waiter went to pour Danny's tea, but was stopped. "My friend has affinity with this place?" the boy asked.

"Him and you," he responded.

Chapter 24:- Danger I

Danny glared. "I know my own. But my friend has no dealings with the paranormal." He'd be damned to let Stephen get involved. Too dangerous.

Chapter 25:- Not real?

"Wait, wait!" Stephen held up his hands. "I know people believed lots of stuff in the past, but fortune telling isn't actually real, right?"

Chapter 26:- Baffled

The silent confirmation meeting Stephen, baffled him. "You guys are serious about the fortune teller? He could actually predict the future?"

Chapter 27:- Too late

Ignoring his friend, Danny repeated, "He has no dealings with the paranormal."

"Too late," the waiter replied. "You cannot change destiny."

Chapter 28:- Foretold

"What destiny do you speak of?"

The waiter simply left to bring them a plate of fortune cookies. "Take one. Your fates have been foretold."

Chapter 29:- Two cookies

Danny took one cookie from the plate, leaving the other to Stephen. They simultaneously broke the snack open and took out the slip of paper.

Chapter 30:- Two fates

"Well?" the waiter said.

"Beware of death." Danny frowned.

"What a morbid fortune," Stephen laughed, "Mine says: Welcome into our family."
