"One soup hold the fish and a nice fine wine coming up. Just have a seat right over here and if your friends want to join you, the hostess here can take their orders too." Crimson smiled, walking back to the restaurant and idly wondering if he was the perverse sort that would be staring at her as she walked, her tail swaying behind her. Back in the kitchen she saw Bella near the entrance and figured she'd already peeked out. "That's him isn't it? Don't you worry he doesn't even know you're here. So just stay in the kitchen, we make him a nice soup without the fish, and some wine, maybe I'll find out something useful for you while he's here." She sniffed the air and looked at what was simmering on the stove, taking a spoon and a sip. "Mmm, nice job, it's pretty good."

Bella smiled at her* well I can also use flour if he did came out in the kitchen. Some people believe when you do it that you are a snow leopard. And yes that is him. Well if the sup is for him a lot more Tabasco should do fine whit him.* she look at her she was not sure if she may. She did not want to kill him so if to much Tabasco will kill him he will not do it.

Don Milow call his friends in the restaurant. He did fell much more safer when he hat his friends around him. He could also use them if they saw Bella ruining out in the street

"Hehe, no, we give him a nice filling meal and we see if he accidentally lets anything slip. Good food has a way of making secrets just spill out. Besides I've never had an unhappy customer and even if he deserves it we won't start now. A nice glass of wine is easy to give him, we'll make a nice non-fish soup, and if he's still sticking around we bake a little cake or sweet bread or something. Besides if he tries to get his way back here I'll throw him out myself."

Bella smiles at her* Yes you are probably right. I don't want you to make you a bad name of your place. And yes my mother use to give me ice or cake if I was hiding something. So she just ask me tow times and give me a cack and I will tell her everything. So you go and serve this.* She give her some plaid whit the sup.*Here you go this is the sup. And I hope he stay out of the kitchen* she smiled at her and gently lick her paws clan.* mmm this is so good. And very healthy*

Scarlet brought out a very nice vintage bottle of wine and brought it out with the soup, several glasses and the bottle being on the platter so her guest could sample it at his own pace. "Here you go, if you like it then by all means we've got more so feel free to ask for seconds. Is there anything else I can do for you while you're here?" She waited by the table patiently, keeping her attention on the rat rather than his associates. So these were all the men that had given her new friend trouble? Maybe she'd be able to find out something useful from them after all. If Bella didn't mind waiting in the kitchen for too long of course. She could always go up and visit the kids if she got bored back there.

Don Milow smiled at little scarlet.* Well are you not a little cute one. I call you if we need anything more to drink or eat.* he lean over and whisper to one of his men.* well have you find out why the mic on her stops working? We need to find her we can roll the Victoni Mafia if we have that little bitch kitty. I tell you I shave all her head of if she run away. again* he did take a small zip from his sup* mmm this is really good. Can you go out and give the cook a kiss from me?*

Bella was a little bit nervous and smile at Crimson. * well I hope he is not going to stay here all day. I don't want to get stuck in this kitchen all day*

The little hybrid child smiled, ears twitching as she picked up most of what the rat said. In her relatively innocent young mind she actually thought he was kind of cute and he was good with his compliments. She couldn't know what her mom and her new friend understood about him. Instead the little hybrid kept smiling, tail wagging as she nodded and gave him a little hug from her position. "Hehe, will do mister. You enjoy, an' if your friends get hungry I bring them some soup too."

"I don't think he'll be here too much longer Bella, probably just hungry and taking a break while out looking for you." Crimson wasn't worried about the mob rat, she was just surprised at how easily Scarlet was able to go out there and serve him without any trouble at all and still look so cute. Heck next to her the rat even looked alright, the little hybrid's cuteness practically rubbing off on anyone she met.

Don Milow smiled at him and give her a small hug. * Well I think my friends need some food and a glass of wine to them too. We have been out on the run all day to find a spacial leopard. Maybe you have seen he`?* he smiled at Scarlet and let his tail tickle her in the neck.

Bella smiled * yes you are maybe right or ells he must be really hungry* She try to peek out of the kitchen to maybe see what they were talking about. And maybe find out when she was getting kidnapped next time so she was prepared for it.

Little Scarlet purred happily, counting the number of other guests at the table and what they'd need. She liked this man, he was nice, and she liked his tail too, purring more and more as it tickled her neck. "Aww, you need to relax then mister, I don't know of any leopards in today, but if I see one I let you know ok?"

Crimson smiled, getting ready to make a little cake. "Well then let's sweeten the deal a little and make sure he leaves happy. Then either we'll learn something or he'll be too full to give you any trouble today."

Don Milow smiled at her* Well that sounds okay we relax here.* he smiled at her. And lean to one of his men and starts to whisper to him* We have to find a spy to send into the school ans spy on her. When we can get him or her maybe to take her out on a tripe to the drive in bio or what ever we find. the best place to Kidd Nap her* They starts to laugh and smiles

Bella look carefully as she did make the cake she really want to know how to make that so she was ready if she got a family whit a sweet tooth. And it was good learning* Wow I must say you can make everything. Is there anything you can not make?* He smiled she will probably get the answer no

Scarlet looked around the table and smiled. "I be right back ok? More food coming for your friends mister." They seemed to be sharing some private joke, she'd be back in a minute and see if they'd either let her in on it or just stand by the nice man ready to serve. She scampered her way back into the kitchen and briefly said hi to her mom and Bella, giving both a quick hug before grabbing a few plates out of a smaller oven.

"Scarlet? Did you make those yourself earlier?"

"Yes mom, for when people walk in and just want something quick. They taste good, really." Without waiting for any sort of approval she carried the plates of food, a few burgers, a few assorted sandwiches she'd been keeping warm, and curled her tail around a pair of bottles all for the "nice man" and his guests, setting it all out on the table for them and smiling.

"She's very thoughtful isn't she? Hehe, there's very little I can't cook, only things I can't are things I don't know what they are or never saw a recipie for. This one I'm making is pretty simple but it's still a nice moist cake that most people like."

Don Milow was sitting and talking very private to his men abut the plane he had made for the next kidnapping of Bella. And one of the men ask him what they maybe do if Bella don't have any interest in the spy. * Trust me I know girls in that age. They need to find out if they are ready for a relationship. And if not that they need to find some friends to have around her.* He smiled at them and take a bug zib of his wine and see Scarlet comes whit more food and wine to them.* Well I guess someone calls for a nice big tip. Is that right?* And the fat rat did not have a problem whit giving high big tips. He sometimes tell people that it was him and him alone that invented the tip.

Bella smiled at little scarlet. * I must say you got a really good daughter whit great talent in the kitchen. And maybe you say that it is easy to make that one. But when you do it, I think it look a little bit harder than it is.* He smiled at her. Nice to talk about something that was not that fat rat out in the restaurant. * Well good thing you have not try all the things in some places in Europa. Because they eat a lot of really crazy shit in many of the countries.* And she was right. Manny of the times when she was traveling around whit out his mother and father she always learn you never say no if someone give you a free meal. And you lick it and eat all the things. Well good thing she hat stooped doing that.

"Hehe, and some of those dishes from around the world don't involve much cooking at all. I've had a lot of time to practice too so that helps, and it lets me improvise for things that I only have a general idea on how to make. Cakes are easy after you make a few, I hardly have to measure anything at all, but I'll show you some of the steps for it."

Scarlet was grinning, happy for the praise and the thought of a tip. She stood by the rat's side at the table again, pouring him a fresh half glass of wine. "I wouldn't mind mister, hehe. If it's your first time here then first meal's free though."

Bella smiled at her * Well you are probably right. I think I would learn that too one day to make great cakes too. But I like to know how to make a lot of food. Maybe own a restaurant for myself. If I don't have to run my dads mafia* She smiled and smell at the cake it did not smell like anything but it probably taste really good.

Don Milow smiled at Scarlet and find from his pocket and find a 100$ and give it to scarlet.* Now you go and give it to you mother and she shall decide how much tips you need and it shall call for all the food and wine* He smiled at her and look out into the kitchen

"That would be nice. I'd definitely support you any time you needed it, help you get started and find good prices from providers. It would be difficult for you to get out from your father's influence but if you do, you know you've got friends here." Crimson started putting the finishing touches on the cake. Only a fine layer of icing instead of heaping it on, she never liked hiding the natural flavor of the cake with sugar frosting or anything like that.

Scarlet's eyes went wide and she gave the rat a big hug and even a little thank you kiss, running happily into the kitchen and announcing the generosity of the nice man. Crimson smiled to her, taking the bill and giving her little girl some money from the register as she set the hundred in. "Here, this is for you, and this is for them. And so's this cake here, no sneaking a piece for yourself okay?"

"Yes mom, hehe, I take it out right now." Scarlet purred as she walked back out with the cake and handed the nice man forty dollars. Considering the cake, wine, and food for everyone and Scarlet's tip it was actually a lot of change. "This is for you, is it your birthday or just your lucky day mister?"
