Unexpected Meeting
Matthew Rider



Matthew rubbed at his wrist as he sat in a chair in the Cafe Van de Volle See. It wasn't his favorite eatery in town but it was where he had agreed to meet some owner of a swim team in the United States. Apparently there were some over there that liked his style and wanted him to move over there or at least represent their country during the next Olympics. Yeah...as if that was likely to happen!

So far the guy he had been supposed to meet was a no show and Matthew was just becoming a little tired of waiting. Ten minutes late he could understand, not forty five. Besides, he had better things to do with his time than sit around waiting for someone who bailed.

Reaching in to his pocket he grabbed an unopened packet of painkillers. Ripping open the packet he popped the two pills in to his mouth and washed it down with a gulp of his ice water. He had gone climbing the other day some two hundred miles from Amsterdam. At first it had been fun but he had hit a patch of loose rock that had given away and down he fell. Luckily he didn't break anything but he did have a few scratches on his arms, hands and his face and he did sprain his left wrist.

Yeah, that was going to keep him out of the water for awhile...at least until the pain and swelling went down. He sighed. Today was just getting better and better...and not in a good way! A waiter came by and asked if he was ready to order but Matthew just waved him away, using his gift with gravity manipulation to give the waiter an extra shove away from the table. Matthew was just so fed up right then that it wasn't even funny. Deciding he had had enough he rose up from his chair and reached in to his pocket to grab his wallet. He had had just about enough of waiting!
