Chapter 6

Nice and calm.

It was raining outside. All the air-conditioners were turned on. Solana snuggled into her jacket, enjoying the calmness of her surroundings as her eyes scanned the sales floor and aisles. It was a Friday morning. The supermarket was still empty except for the morning shift staff and two customers. Nope. Three.

A formally dressed tall man was now walking toward the cash counters with two large loaves and something else Solana couldn't see. She guessed the other two customers were probably just window shopping.

"Do you know what a shopping cart is?" She wondered aloud, looking at the man approaching the cash point.

He chose to stop at Zuri's counter, and Solana gave a silent prayer of thanks.

"Nice and calm." She hummed silently.
