Something Terrible

When Kate came to know what those men for whom this table was reserved had gone through, she thanked the Lord for blessing her in all the times. These men had gone through something terrible and in front of their problems, Kate’s problems were very small. What had happened to the guests of that table?

American Flag

The table was set for five men. In the middle of the table along with a vase was kept a miniature American Flag. There was one more flag hanging along the wall and a candle was lit by its side. After making a note of the situation, Kate’s heart saddened with pain and despair. There was a letter framed which brought her to tears.

A Tribute

The table was set as a tribute to the five men who would never enter the restaurant to have their meal in that booth. They would never turn up again ever. It was a sad moment and the table was laid in their memory. Kate felt guilty of accusing the staff at the restaurant.

In Memory Of

The letter which was framed read the names of the fallen officers. It read, “We remember and honor the five slain police officers, Sergeant Michael J. Smith, Officer Michael Krol, Officer Patrick Zamarripa, Senior Corporal Lorne Ahrens, and Mr. Brent Thompson, who worked for the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Police Department, that the Texas Roadhouse restaurant reserved a table for. We thank you for your service. May you rest in peace.”

At The Scene

Kate stood there motionless. She had tears in her eyes. Cole and Maddi looked at her quietly. The kids could not understand how grim the situation was. The next moment Kate’s father, Jole walks in. He apologizes to Kate for being late and then only a waitress also comes towards them.

Your Table

The waitress said, “Bradford? Table for four? Your table is ready” Finally, Kate, her kids, and her father sat on a neat table which was set for them. Kate was so depressed that she forgot how hungry her kids were. She knew that there was something she had no clues about. She asked her dad, “Who are Dallas 5”?
