"I have found him" - the woman with the red hat said.
"Yes, it is him" she continued as if she was replying to someone on the other end of the line.
"I will get back to you with the rest" - she said and ended the phone call.
The coffee house was unusually quiet today. The lady on the other end of the table heard everything. However the lady on the laptop did not realize that.
"What's going on?" - the lady thought. "Are they following someone? Is this someone married? Do they want to see if he is seeing another woman? Why would they follow/stalk someone?"
Everything felt so weird to her. Especially the fact that this lady was so loud, in a coffee shop, saying that she found someone.
"How strange..." she thought. "or maybe pathetic?"
She gave it a thought but still did not know how to describe what she witnessed.
"Was she a detective?" - she thought. She gave a second glance at the lady with the red hat. "She did not look like one but who knows, maybe that is her strength. If no one recognizes you, then you can pretty much be the best at your job".
She turned to her laptop screen and started typing when a sudden thought crossed her mind.
"Does that mean I could be followed as well? Followed by someone I will not recognize? Is this so easy?"
The thoughts terrified her.
She made a quick turn to see the lady with the red hat one more time, but she did not find her.
The only thing present at her table was her cup of coffee.
"What a terrifying thought" - she said in a soft voice.
She unplugged her laptop and picked up her things.
"Time to go home" - she thought while looking around making sure no one was following her...
