Several salivating moments later Solly brought two plates to the table.
"Eat first, we'll talk after, " Solly said grabbing his own steaming mug and sitting down.
Chongo dove in head first. Something told him that after he heard what Solly had to say, he wasn't going to have a lot of time for eating for awhile. Unfortunately the eggs and bacon didn't last long and he was almost longing for seconds when Solly put down his napkin and said "down ta bidness."
"Help me wash up, we'll talk in front a da zink."
Chongo found himself drying the dishes that Solly handed him.
"Use ta woik at a restraunt. Trained up sa well dat I can't geddit outta m' system, sorry."
Chongo used to let the dishes sit in the sink until enough built up to make it worth his while. Matter of fact the load that had been sitting waiting for his attention was gone. Now that he thought of it the whole place seemed to be in better order and a lot cleaner than he left it. Chongo grinned, Kerchak didn't know the favor he'd done sending Solly over.
"Well, well, well. Where ta start?" Solly said while rinsing, "Ya knows Kerchak done sent me ta informs ya a what we found. Well, ya knows bout da chimps and ya seen da grave. Been ta da parents a da kids an dey din't see notin'. Checked da oder kids in da neighbahood an dey say dat two guys inna grey sedan come round lookin fer help. Da chimps whats dead went wit um.

Oh yeah, Kerchak wanna talk ta ya bout sumtin private. Toll me ta axe ya ta come ova later. Neva know Kerchak ta ask so p'lite befo."
Solly wiped his hands with a dishrag and grinned.
A few moments passed before Chongo fully digested what solly had actually said. He realized Solly was still standing there, motionless.
"Uhh, yeah, tell Kerchak I'll be around about one," he said.
