Shen Lu stepped out the back door into the vacant lot behind the shop. She had exchanged contact information with Lin Zhou and Ye Fan that morning, and she now sent them a message asking them to come over.
Ye Fan jumped down from somewhere above Shen Lu's head. His sturdy body landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and making for a rather heroic entrance.
Lin Zhou, meanwhile, materialized soundlessly from a patch of shadow. His unsettling double pupils looked rather terrifying in the twilight.
"Boss Shen, you needed us for something?" Lin Zhou was a man of few words. Since the two were frequent partners, Ye Fan usually did the talking.
"Today's my first day here, so I've prepared a big meal. Why don't you two come have a bite?"
Lin Zhou shot Ye Fan a look, clearly signaling he didn't want to go.
Ye Fan pretended not to see it and asked Shen Lu a question. "Boss Shen, does our captain come here to eat often?"
