The whole situation suddenly got to Steven and he realized just how dry his mouth was, he licked his parched lips and walked off his aisle, quickly heading back upstairs to get a drink of water. Opening the cupboard door in the tea room, he grabbed hold of a glass and turned the cold water tap on, letting it run for a while before filling his glass and taking a long gulp of water.
"Ahhh, that's better!" he gasped under his breath, throwing the rest of the water down the sink, then he washed and drying the glass and put it back in the cupboard.
Steven then walked out of the tea room and made his way around to the Manager's tea room, which was opposite Elizabeth's office. The window in there was quite large and low down which provided a perfect view of the street outside, and the people in it.
Looking up, Steven saw that the sun was slowly sinking over the horizon, yet despite the fading light, the street was still quite full of people heading home and into the nearby bus station.
Steven smiled to himself.
He may have been hesitant to test out his powers on his friends, but strangers were another thing, he had no connection to them, and plus...he had to know if the old man had told him the truth.
Looking down into the street, he watched the people, yet at the same time he kept glancing at his watch, he knew he should have been downstairs working, and sooner or later, Liz or Pete would come looking for him.
He had to work fast, among the people in the street were....
A woman in her early 30's from nearby supermarket, quite chunky in appearance and she had on a light green company sweatshirt. Despite her large size, she was still pretty.
Just across the street were just two of the many immigrants that filled the town, they were both young men from Croatia, dressed in jeans, t-shirts and jackets.
Almost directly below Steven, was a teenage girl stood waiting at the bus stop, she had obviously just finished her shift at the bank around the corner, she had shoulder-length blonde hair, a petite build and was wearing a blue blouse, a black jacket, matching pants and a pair of black leather flats.
And finally there was a Pakistani woman, looked to be in her mid 20's, wearing traditional Asian clothing, including a hijab, she was also quite attractive, which made her conservative dress all the more disappointing.
Steven rubbed his chin, knowing he had to be quick, yet he also wanted to enjoy himself.
