Description of Restaurant worker:

Cook at a local diner who has a call-ahead dinner order for the Charles' and their kids. Joe and Ellie trick the killer into going by and picking it up. They slyly convince him that if they don't go by and get the food, the cook, an old family friend, will get suspicious. This provides enough time for the motorcycle cop to set up the trap.
