John Barron was having dinner at the newly opened restaurant with agent Lyudmila at Polonium 2020. The Manhattan was up to par stirred to perfection . The maraschino at the bottom seductive. John asked “Do I come here Often” Lyudmila countered I am not sure Joseph,Jacob whatever. John let it go. A scream loud enough to make the Maraschino bob up came from the unisex toilet. A waiter wearing a scarlet mask exploded out of the toilet then dashed back to wash his hands. The sign said “All Employees Must Wash Their Hands No Matter What”. John followed the waiter with his lethal hands bereft of rings and watch . The scene was unprecedented. A man’s body with blue rubber gloves and a mask with a Pig’ snout to help SPCA in a pool of blood. A shard of Purell hand sanitizers bottle sticking out of the neck. John checked the pulse but only could feel the gurgling of air escaping through the trachea. John took his gloves off and reached for the cellphone.

John went back to the table, drained his Manhattan, and asked Lyudmila to order another. “Where is the CCTV?” The manager rushed him to the surveillance booth. Yes, there he was a waiter walking into the toilet wearing a rainbow mask. Buzz cut hair minutes before the scream that was heard around the world. That should be easy “ let’s see all the waiters with the rainbow mask. Lucy, Druid and Mango lined up. Has she been here for long ? John asked the manager. “You mean they sir” No I meant Lucy. That’s what I said sir . Hmmm how about Druid? 2 years as Cynthia and 8 months as Druid almost 3 years. Mango has a buzz cut and looks dangerous. Sir he is very sweet inside! Let’s see about that I would like to talk to Mango.

Mango sat with the rainbow mask and rainbow gloves. Lovely said John. “The evidence is irrefutable Mango tell me why”. “I knew that man when he was Melissa and she was cheating on me and so I divorced her. Melissa became Jorge but I knew it was him. I go to the unisex toilet and he said I had a nice pair of lungs and started groping, that did it. I realized she/ he they, hadn’t changed and Purell came to my rescue. The Police sirens could be heard. John slowly walked back to his table. Lyudmila knew. “Oh John hope you used the hand sanitizer I just love your mask. “I would rather be in quarantine with a CoEd 19 rather than Covid 19.” John jokes his eyes checking out the new chicks at the bar.

Be very Masked until next time. 0019🍸
