Steve Burton nodded, glanced at Ruby Gregory's Twitter post, and then put on his brand new suit. As he was buttoning the last button in front of his mirror, he turned to Ms. Taylor and said, "Call The Sapphire Bistro and have them prepare a light late night meal to be delivered to Winsome Gardens on West 2nd Ring Road."
After a pause, Steve Burton recited a string of phone numbers and said, "Contact her, and it will be done."
Ms. Taylor immediately followed Steve's instructions, grabbed her phone and dialed the number.

Ruby Gregory was indeed woken up by hunger; she lay in her soft bed, touching her already round belly, thinking that she had eaten all the food she had bought. If she wanted to eat, she would have to cook, which would take at least two hours. So, Ruby got up and drank a cup of milk, then prepared to fall asleep quickly and wait until morning.
