Chapter Fourteen; Mrs. Allen
I walked into Jitters the day after Karaoke, I was tired and I did not want to do anything, but as fate would have it I had a report to edit and hand in today.
Luckily I didn't start until 1 today, so I could just hang out at Jitters. I order my usual and sat at a both in the far back corner and started working on new names for the streak.
Blur
Red Blur
Lightning
Speedy
Red Runner
Scarlet
Racer
I sigh and stare at the list. I decide to do some research on him.
The streak flashes in and out of a crime scene.
A flash of lightning before 4 criminals are tied together on the floor of bank.
"All I saw was a flash of light, and boom! He was gone"
Flash? The Flash. It seemed heroic enough, and it's the way people describe him. "Hey" I hear Barry greet. I look up and see Barry and Iris making their way towards me.
"Hey, guys" I greet back with a smile. Barry leans down and pecks my lips which leaves me smiling.
"What you doing here? I thought you worked today" Iris asks.
"At 1. I decided to sit here until than" I say. "Listen, I was thinking of changing the name of the streak. I mean it's a little dull, no offence"
"Oh, none taken! I wasn't really the one to call him the Streak. Some cop I overheard at CCPD called him that" Iris says. "I just called him that cause I didn't know what else to call him"
"Well I was thinking of calling him.. The Flash" I say. "What you guys think?"
"Catchy" Iris says.
"Yea, it's awesome" Barr says.
"I guess he's The Flash now" I say. I pull up the report and edit it so all the times we called him the streak it, would be, The Flash.
"Well, I gotta get to work. I'll see you two girls later" Barry says, we kiss quickly before he makes his way out.
"I'm in love with your relationship. I swear it's beyond cute" Iris says. "Anyways, today's my last shift here. I better not be late"
"Oh, your gonna be working at CCPN full time now?" I ask.
"Yep! I can't wait" She says. "I'll see you later"
"Bye" I reply.
I was still typing in my booth at Jitters. I was supposed to leave for work in 20 minutes.
The cafe was empty basically, other than the baristas and a old couple enjoying tea by the windows.
"Hey, Iris" I hear a masculine voice overcome the soothing music playing. Must be a friend of Iris'.
"Tony, hi" Iris replied. I look up and see Tony Woodward, the guy wanted for a lot of different things. I watch carefully as I reach to pull out my phone. For hells sake! The one time I leave my phone at home.
Tony goes on to talk about his place in Keystone. I pull up my Facebook and message Eddie.
Lilli James;
Tony Woodward is at Jitters talking to Iris. Hurry
I pull up two more tabs, one of a wedding dress and another of the Tony Woodward wanted article. I watch as Iris rejected Tony for a date. I grabbed my laptop and walk towards her.
"Hey, Iris. I just found this wedding dress. Should we check it out later?" I ask, showing the dress, but when Tony is distracted I show her the article.
I quickly turn it back to the dress when she realizes. "Uh, yea. But I thought you already chose your dress" She said, going along with my alibi.
"Who's this?" Tony asks.
"This is Rose, she's getting married in 2 months.. To Barry, remember him?" Iris asks.
"Allen? That nerd doesn't deserve a beauty queen like you" he says to me.
"Well this beauty queen would gladly become Mrs. Allen" I say. "Iris, why don't you come with me to try the dress out now? I'm sure you could use the lunch break"
"Sounds good to me, bye Tony" she says. We rush out just as sirens blare down the street. Tony had already made a run for it. Oh boy, this is gonna be fun.
