Chapter 121 - French Bread

"Ruby, anything you need; just ask. We haven't prepared anything because we didn't know you were coming, but…"

"It's ok. Should I just follow you or….."

"THIEF!!! You put that back right now, young lady."

"Girls, girls. This is Ruby, the girl I was telling you about."

"Huh?"

"The Gift basket lady."

"The gift basket lady?"

"Sorry, nicknames aren't my thing."

"Have you told the whole town that is my name?"

"Ummm!!!!"

"Gift lady!! Gift Lady!!!"

"Yes."

I know it's not much, but last night, Sid was bored and when he is bored he just sticks to one task and….usually does too much, whether it be slicing for hours. Gives him something to do. Follow me and I'll show you. Hope we are not too late though. Boss is making her rounds."

"I know. Frank said trash-cans."

"Ma'am, please. What she says is true."

"Get back to your station. SECURITY!!!!!"

"Here. What seems to be the problem?"

"I caught this girl trying to steal my French bread and meats. This is outrageous and needs to be dealt with."

"Yes ma'am.

I'm completely ashamed in you little girl….both of you. You served us here faithfully for two years now. Why would you risk it all helping this poor girl take a ….."

"Sir."

"Not now."

"Sir."

"I said, 'Not now."

"But sir."

"WHAT? What is it?"

"She isn't just an ordinary girl. She's the Gifter!!!"

"The what? I haven't heard of such a…..Ruby? Ruby Eliotra?"

"Ummm...hi."
