Don Milow smiled at her as the cake come in. * Well I just guess I am a good costumer for your mothers business. Or maybe it is just my lucky day.* He smiled at scarlet and gently give her a hug and a little kiss on the chin. * I can tell you that you are going to be the best worker in this restaurant if you keep up like that* He smiled at her. Don Milow did have a Sweet tooth for cakes. Maybe the reason why he was so fat. He take a spoon and begin to eat at it. * Mmm this is so good. Is it you or your mother that have mad it? Because it is really good.* He eat and laugh a little bit.

Bella smiled at her and starts to try some different fish for the sup.* Yes I still don't know if I want to run the mafia maybe I can chance the business around so it become not so criminal. Well at least I can hope things can change. Or ells I remember you if I want to go out of the mafia world. * She try to taste the fish whit the sup* I am not sure about this one if it is the right fish or shall I use a norther fish?*

Crimson took a taste of the soup, it was good but... but something was missing. "Hmm... either a slightly different fish or we're missing something else for this one. Let's see... hmm... just a touch more bite to it, oh, I have an idea." She dragged out a box of different herbs and tossed a few fresh leaves from one into the soup, letting it simmer for a second and stirring it up. "There, that just might do it. Let's give it another try shall we?"

Scarlet grinned. "Hehe, mom made it but I'm learning how to. I like cooking but I like serving even more, I get to spend time out here with all the nice customers, and the handsome ones too, hehe."

Bella close her eyes and take a sniff to the leaf. It did smell good.* Well I think it smells ready. To take a small try of it.* She gently did take a spoon and take a taste of it.* Mmm it smells really great now ready for lunch time* She gently lick the spoon clean.*I think Scarlet is doing a great job whit serve the fat rat in there* She take a small peek in the restaurant.
Don Milow smiled at her* well you are going a really good whit your job so far* He tickles her in the neck.

"Awwww, thanks mister. Hehehe, wanna be friends?" Scarlet had no idea how bad the rat could be sometimes, all she was seeing was a very nice, friendly, generous man. She liked him, he complimented her and he had a nice tail, and he already had lots of friends so she didn't think there was any problem with wanting to be his newest friend.

Crimson nodded, grinning. "It's ready for lunch. Heh, if I didn't know better from your negative experience with him I'd almost say he's a nice guy. And I'm sure there are times when he can be nice, everyone has those moments. We just know that his bad moments against you are a little much to make up for right?"

*Well I love to be your friend. * He set her up on his lab. And smiled at her. * maybe you can do us a little favor on time like friends do?* He hat some planes where Scarlet could be very use full maybe she could get Bella to walk into his trap and help him kidnapp her.* Well would you not want to try some of the good cake your mother made for me and my friends. * he hold up a spoon to her

Bella smiled at him* Well all Mafia men and women have a good and a bad side. I personal have a good side around people that are older and younger than me. And my bad side is when I meet any other Mafia or boys that think they can win my heart

Scarlet giggled and nuzzled against the nice rat as he set her in his lap. "I'd be happy to help my new friend. Anything you want you ask Scarlet, I get it for you, hehe." Hmm, mom said not to swipe any cake but it wasn't exactly swiping it if the nice customer was offering her some now was it? She had a relatively innocent attitude, personality, and all that. But she did have a very clever little mind and knew how to usually get her way or get presents and gifts. "Thank you friend, I love cake."

"Heh, well some used to call all the dragons in the area a sort of mafia but really the only organization or anything is me and my brothers. And we're far from being organized crime or anything. I'd never really heard of any around here and I'm usually at a sort of center of gossip. Guess that's the kind of thing that wouldn't be talked about though, huh?"

Don Milow find a small picture of Bella in his pocket. * Well have you see this leopard we really need to speak to her. So if you know anything about her or see her some place around you come and tell Milow that would you. * He feed her whit the spoon. And smiled at her. He kind of got a soft spot for kid and children. But sins Bella was a little bit older almost begin to be a grown up woman, she did not have the same effect on him as Scarlet did.* Well I think a lot of people like cake. I never meet a person that did not like cake.* he smiled and take of his hat and put it on the head of Scarlet but it was too big so it more glide down and cover her face

Bella smiled at her* Yes you dragons are very organized. Acutely should this place not been called dragon city* She giggles a little bit hop she did not put up some kind of joke that hurt her as a dragoon.* But sins you are the center of gossip you must promise me that you don't tell any one I am a Mafia daughter. It happened one time in my old school. I only use it to get some more peace and respect. But it was more fear they have against me. And I did not like that. Even the teacher fear me back at my old school.*

Luckily for Bella Scarlet was terrible at identifying people when it came to pictures, and she didn't have the best memory for faces. "She looks familiar, maybe she eats here. I tell you if I see her around again." Mmm, if there was anything better in her mind than cake it was when someone gave it to you and even fed you the cake. She started purring again, snuggling into his lap and giggling as he put the hat on her head. Maybe when she grew her horns in more it wouldn't have slipped down so far. "Me neither, everyone loves cake, it has so many nice flavors."

"I'm not too much on my history but I think there was one dragon and several families of foxes that settled the town and built the castle. But now it's pretty much our family and a few students. And, well, you might have heard of the big true dragon lurking around right? Anyway, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your family."

Don Milow smiled at her and take of his hat.* Well I am happy that you will tell me. Were she is. And yes you are right you can always find a cake you like and if you can not something is really wrong whit you* He giggles and smiled again and gently scratch her behind the ears.* Well I really sorry but I think me and my friends have to go. But I promise you that I would be back some other day I promise you that* He put on his hat and give Scarlet a long warm hug. He will definitely go back to this restaurant again.

Bella smiles as she hear the story.*Thank you for that. I don't want to be known as the girl who has a mafia in the back.*She smiled and start to clean up the kitchen after the many smash tomatoes. And make sure that every spot was goon* Well anyway it sounds like a cool story about the city*

Scarlet waved goodbye to the nice man, one of her new favorite customers and friends. She gathered up all the dishes and brought them back into the kitchen to be washed, smiling to her mom and Bella. "He was really nice, said he promised he'd be back again."

Crimson helped in cleaning up the kitchen. "Yeah, I thought it was a nice story too. Sort of like one big protector and a bunch of others all working together." She paused as Scarlet came back to them. "Oh? And what else did he say sweetie?"

Scarlet, in her innocent mind, went on to tell them both everything she could about what she h eard from the nice man and his friends. Though it was a bit spotty she did get quite a few of the important details, including being asked to look for a snow leopard if she remembered what he said right. "He even showed me a picture, but it was small and I'm not too good with them."

Bella smiled at Scarlet* Well I think he look really nice and friendly too.* She did not want to tell her that she was kidnapped by him some says ago. She was still just a child. And she did not want to give her nightmares to her. *Well it was probably only his daughter or his girlfriend on the picture. I am sure she did not mean that much to him. * she give her a Ram hug to her and a little kiss on the cheek.

"Oh, okay. Next time I ask for copy in case I see her. Hehe, maybe next time I do some cooking for you so you get to go out and see the nice man? Wait... then I might not get to see him... Um... does sharing apply to friends like it does for stuff?"

"Well sometimes it does Scarlet. Usually you just have to be nice and not try to keep someone from making new friends okay?" It was best if Scarlet didn't know she had just become friends with someone that was only nice in public. After all he'd been well behaved today, it was just, he had a very dark side and very bad business.

Bella smiled at Scarlet* Well I am sure they did have a nice time whit you to serve them. And I don't think it is good for me to walk out in the restaurant. I am better staying inside the kitchen, Well did you hear something ells that they said?* She did not want to spoil her good moment. It was best if she got the look at him as the nice guy. As long she not get him to a meeting whit her. Wait did she say Snow Leopard. She could be safe if Scarlet did think that don Milow was looking for a snow leopard. Maybe the picture was a black and whit picture. Lucky for her it did look like Scarlet did forget some of the things

"Hmm, something about the school, maybe his daughter or friend or whatever she is goes there? Oh uh... hmm... something about a kid needing to take a nap I think?" Scarlet hadn't been focusing on the words after a while, she'd been distracted by his tail tickling her neck, sitting in his lap, and bringing in food for them.

"Okay Scarlet, thanks. The lunch rush is going to be coming soon, would you like to help in the kitchen or in the dining area?" Crimson smiled, patting her head. So Bella was safe for now but the rat was definitely looking for her. Even if he did learn at some point that she was working here, the dragoness would ensure he never came near her at the restaurant. Blake was big, tough, and scary. Some of the predators like that big dragon in the woods were scary. Still, none of them dared to stand up to Crimson if she was in a rage.

Bella smiled at her good thing she was a little child that did not listen to all the words. But on the same way it was bad because she did not hear about the plan to get her kidnapped. * well thanks for telling me that.* She per her on her head. She could alså understand Scarlet. Tow grown up women getting her out on kind of a spy mission whit out telling her what to do. It is hard to remember all the things. She still remember first time she was put spying. She was only 4 years old and was in a toy store were some mafia hat some hiding place in the back of the store. She was told she was going in and begin to cry and if she was lucky one of the worker will take her back in the store so she could put mic around the hiding palcs and remember what it look like.
