part 9

Alex: Looks at the menu.  So this is our assignment.  Eating with Russo.

Christian: Yes it will be tough.  But we'll get through it.

Dante: Looks at him angrily and then at the handcuffs.  Why are you stuck together?

Josh: Because they're losers.

Christian and Alex look at Josh at the same time.

Josh: quickly hold the menu in front of his head.

Rhys: So you don't have anything like a note on you.  Or did Vivian say something to you?

Dante: Do you think if she had told me about a scavenger hunt that I would be sitting here?

Rhys: I just want to know what our next assignment is to get closer to them.

Dante: I'm not going to participate in this nonsense.

Christian: Maybe we should call Heath and see if he wants to join us.  Can you already imagine it?  We find the girls and Vivian sees him instead of you.

Dante: You know, Christian.  Sometimes I wonder why we still invite you to our house.

Josh: Wow...wait a minute...Points to Dante.  You are Christian's best friend.  Looks at Alex and Christian again.  Good to know.

Alex: I thought Rhys and Christian were best friends.

Rhys: Bridget is my best friend.  She is my everything and I don't need anyone else.

Christian: Shit.  I forgot my barf bag.

Josh: Would Bridget say the same about you?  I mean, who is she out with now?

Alex: Ava loves me.  But their friendship is special.

Christian: Yes, so special that Jules managed to get them in jail.

Josh: Says the man in the handcuffs.

Rhys: As you can see Dante, our bonding is going very well.

Dante: So what now.  What should we do now?

Alex: Maybe just order food and have something to eat.

Butler: Not necessary.  Has a cart and hands out bowls of soup.

Everyone looks at the soup in front of them.

Josh: What is this.

Butler: Soup

Christian: What kind of soup.

Butler: Takes out a card and reads.  The Scavengers Hunt soup.  Puts the card back in his pocket.  Enjoy Walks away

Dante: looks at Rhys.

Rhys: What.

Dante: You were a bodyguard after all.  Test tasting was included in your package.

Rhys: Are you afraid your own wife is going to poison you Dante?

Josh: Smells his soup.  It smells...like...soup

Christian: We don't even get some bread with it.  What kind of restaurant is this.

Alex: Goes through the soup with his spoon.  What if it's just plain normal soup.

Rhys: Or what if the girls want us to think it's just normal soup

Josh: As long as Jules doesn't make the soup, we're safe.

Alex: Don't you trust Jules?  That's my job.

Josh: Have you ever seen her cook?  Making a sandwich or heating up a pizza doesn't count.

Dante: Is anyone going to eat that soup or not?

Josh: How much are you offering?

Dante: How much do you want?

Josh: 100.

Dante: Fine.  $100,000.  Now eat that soup.

Josh: Looks at him with wide eyes.

Alex: I think he meant 100...

Josh: ta ta ta.  The words have been spoken.  The deal is done.  Takes a bsip of the soup.
