part 10

Josh: Swallows the soup and stares at his plate.  Frows.

Rhys: What?

Josh: It's good.

Christian: Then why are you looking so difficult?

Josh: Because I still don't trust it.  The soup is literally called Scavenger Hunt.

Alex: Maybe we should find out what kind of soup it is

Dante: Or maybe they just want us to have lunch together.  So let's eat this soup so you can continue and I can go home with Vivian.

Christian: Chuckles.  Oh Dante.  Still so bad in the denial phase.  So sad.

Rhys: Also takes a bite of the soup.  Oh this is good.

Alex and Christian: Take a bite too.

Rhys: Maybe they're just trying to drive us crazy when nothing is happening.

Josh: Yes, Jules likes mind games.

Alex: Let's just eat the soup and then we'll see, okay.

Everyone nods and eats their soup until it's gone.

Josh: Well, have we passed now?  Looks where the waiter is.

Rhys: Stares at his empty soup plate.

Christian: What is it.

Rhys: sigh deeply.  There is a question engraved on the sign.

Alex: What?

Dante: What are you talking about.

Rhys: I think it's part of the Scavenger Hunt.

Josh: What's the question?

Rhys: The question is: Which of you is the secret but proud owner of Micheal Crist's basketball shoes?

Josh: Gasp.  Michael Crist.  The Michael Christ.  Any of you have his shoes?!

Alex, Christian, Rhys and Dante look at each other.

Rhys: Well, tell me.  Who is it.

Alex: I wonder.  Looks at Christian.  Are you as obsessed with those shoes as Stella is with her unicorn?

Christian: Funny.  But Alex, it's cute that you have your favorite player's ratty shoes.

Josh: I can't believe someone kept this a secret.  Crist is a legend!

Rhys: Didn't Vivian once organize an event for the basketball team?

Dante: Yeah, so.  Doesn't mean I have that guy's shoes.

Josh: That guy?  Phew.  A legend.  He and Erika Fane are at number 4 on my and Jules, do we ever want to join a quartet, list.

Alex: Josh, too much information.

Rhys: Who is in your top 3.

Josh: Why the interest?

Dante: First of all, we're in a public restaurant.  Secondly, I really want to go home with Vivian so someone can just admit he has his shoes.

Everyone looks at each other quietly.

Alex: Okay.  I've got them.  Dammit Ava.

Christian: Grins.

Josh: You...you have the shoes and you never said anything to me!  Why?!

Alex: Because they're mine.  You want to touch it whith your fingers.

Josh: Of course I'm going to touch them. Omg.  Do they still smell like him?

Butler: I see you enjoyed the soup very much.  Have the soup plates taken away by servants. Place a new dish in front of them. Salad carpaccio. Scavenger Hunt part 2.  Walks away again.

Dante: Urg.  Definitely another question.

Rhys: Can't we just put the food aside and read the question?

Josh: I'm sure the girls thought of something about that too. 

Alex: We'll just eat it and see what the demand is.

Everyone nods and starts eating.

Josh: Takes a bite of his salad and looks at Alex.  Met Micheal without me?  Did you tell him about me?  Your best friend?

Moments later.

Alex: Looks like I have the next question. 

Christian: Lets hear it Volkov.

Alex: Pushes the last bit of salad aside and reads.  Which of you goes to the beauty salon with his wife?
