Shuffle Week: There's a Good Reason these Tables are Numbered, Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of it Yet

Prompt: Use the name of a CD track as your inspiration (it does not have to have anything to do with the actual lyrics).

Response:

"So why do you think these tables are numbered?" The gum-popping blond asked, leaning in toward the man beside her.

I rolled my eyes, setting her plate in front of her. How dumb could a person be?

I walked to the other side of the table and poured the man more wine - not that he needed it. I asked if he needed anything else and he did not hear - too busy muttering in the general direction of the blond.

I held my tray perfectly level as I returned to the kitchen. I could not stop thinking about the blonde’s stupid question. I ducked in and my accomplice whispered, "Table 7."

I checked to make sure that my gun was in place and headed back into the dining room, balancing another set of plates.
