"Appetizer? I want the full meal?"

"But this is Deer food? I thought that….."

"Okay. Okay. You've shown me that we are not all that different when it comes to our taste in food, but how do I know you didn't steal this one from me? It was perfectly placed and everything?"

"Mars, by the time I made an executed plan to take your food, I could've already has my own animals broken in and stocked.

Maybe your owners need too focus more on the inside man option!!"

*Archooom. Oom….oom*

"You mean Hezekiah? He's the only animal cleaner that stays there roundly. Why would he do it?"

*Uhmmm…oom…chop*

"Mars, I said 'Owner', not 'Cleaner'."

"Anela? She would never. I know her. She's not the type. That would go against her moral code."

"Why? You think all kidnappers look the same?"

"Well, I….I bet she's grieving for us right now as we speak."

"Ready to order?"

"Ah, yes. I will have the Seafood Burrito, please."

"Excellent choice. For you, Ma'am?"

"I'd like to try your unlimited shrimp special."

"Tartar sauce or cocktail, today?"

"Cocktail, please. Lots and lots and lots of cocktail. Thank you."

"I'll have those out for you shortly. In the meantime, enjoy your appetizer of deep-fried mushrooms. Tell me if there is anything else I can get for you. I'll try my best to see you."

"This place seems nice and cozy. Why have I never been here before, Hez?"

"That's because everything and everyone hides a secret. The 'tenders here actually have the best fod because they steal other people's traps. Although no one knows for sure, nobody has been able to catch them in the act. That's why this restaurant has been swept underneath the rug for only a few too find."

"Is that true?"

"Who knows!!! As I said, no one has caught them in the act, but there are rumours.

Now, who do you think we should call first?"

"Since you have mentioned that people could look genuine but aren't, I think we should call Parker Thomas just to make sure his shipment has indeed come from a reputable source or is just fake.
