There I was, sitting in the corner of the diner.  "Would You like more coffee?" The waitress asked

"yes please" I replied  I was waiting for someone,  I was waiting for him! 

The rain outside started to pour harder and eventually started to thunder.  

The Power went out due to a lightning bolt striking the power lines outside.  

Everyone was in a panic.  I sat there waiting for Lanning.  When the power went back on there he was.  "Your late!" I exclaimed "I know i ran into trouble," He replied

He went to the counter to order some food.  The red room, it was a small diner but it was a very busy one in fact.  I was observing my surroundings to see what was going on.

Suddenly I heard a scream from outside.   I ran outside.  "I think it came from the alley!"  Lanning said.   We ran to the alley and there she was.  My Wife with a knife wound to the chest!
