"Uhmm...yeah, I guess I'd like a dozen buns please." The Veteran asks meekly.
"Guns. We're looking for guns." Hawk-nose responds.

Lex shrugged, trying to feign ignorance. " I'm sorry gentlemen, but I've been out of the gun business since I moved home from Windy City. I saw the greif they cause when my brother in law was killed. Now I'm afraid the only thing I make are bake goods."

Vivian smiles at the man and says, "Coming right up, sir." Getting the man's order ready, Vivian tells him the price and, once he pays, hands him his order. "Have a good day, sir."

The veteran leaves haltingly, as if expecting Viv to call him back for some reason. He then darts out the door.
"That's a dissappointment - understandable, but a dissappointment. Still, it would be a shame for something to happen - nice place like this in such a dangerous area...." The thin man smiled before turning to his shorter, squater, friend. "Alright, let's get out of here." He tilted his head back and tipped his fedora. "Nice talking to you."

"wait a minute,"Lex was slightly miffed and raised his voice,"are you threatening my family because I changed my ways?" He considered decking one of them right there, but knew that would only cause trouble and he was unarmed.

The goon winks at Vivian as he walks out the door, his smirk is the only answer Lex gets.

Lex was upset with the implacations, and without thinking he followed the two goons out the door. " I said wait a minute," he raised his voice unintentionally. Clearing his throat, he continued," Fine, my family stays out of it. What are you looking for and what quanitities?"

Vivian frowns at the wink, wondering what was going on. When she hears what Lex says, Vivian thinks 'I hope it's not what I think it is.'

The hawknosed man smirks, reaches into his jacket pocket and produces a folded up sheet of paper. "Details are here. We'll be back around closing to discuss compensation and delivery. Have a nice day."
Vivian can see the paper hand-off through the window.

"Yeah, have a nice day." Lex snarked and turned to go back to work. Looking up to see Vivian, he tucked the paper in his pocket and lowered his head in shame as he tried to walk passed her towards the kitchen.

Vivian asks Lex in an overtly sweet tone of voice, "Can you help me with the customers, please?" It's clear she wanted to know what that exchange was about and wasn't going to let him sneak off into the back.

"Uh, I've got some stuff....,"Lex started, but then shrugged," sure, give me a minute to bring out what is fresh." Lex replied. We went into the back long enough to get a drink of water and then load up a tray of fresh from the oven goods, then returned out front with Vivian to put the fresh wares on the shelves for display. He looked around, and arched a brow, "Since when do you need help with customers?"

The morning rush ends as the customers move on out to their jobs. It's only then that Vivian and Lex hear a familiar chuckle from the back room.
"Hope I ain't barging in. Don't want to be causin' no ruckus." Matt Cannon tips his black bowler, which matched nicely with his ash coloured suit and white dress shirt. The odd standout of course, is the familiar black leather bolo tie held at his neck with a silver steer's head pin. "Havin' yourselves a fine day I hope?"

Lex scowled a bit," What are you doing here?" He couldn't help but think it wasn't a coincidence as he thought about the paper in his pocket. " I'm sure it's not for the sticky bread. If you want, Viv, I can handle things for a bit here if you two need some time." He grinned.

Vivian also scowls, but it's both at Lex and DR. "What did that man want?" she asks Lex in a quiet tone of voice, as she asks DR, "What are you doing here?"
