Blossom quickly shut the tv and opened the door to face Burger. Why was he dressed so fancily? He wasn't wearing that before... Anyway, Blossom was so hungry she didn't care what she looked like herself. She trotted along the hall, next to Burger, on the way to dinner. Even though she was famished, she was still too nervous around the man to make any kind of conversation.

Burger lead Blossom to the small dining room. Opening the door, he gestured for her to enter the small room with red wallpaper. There was a bookshelf lining one wall of the room, and two doors on the wall opposite the door Burger was holding open. there was a large painting opposite the bookshelf, under which stood a mahogany buffet table. Standing in the center of the room was a moderately sized table made of mahogany with a matching chair on each side.

"Ooh! Books!" Blossom ran over to the massive shelves and began scanning to see what titles the library of sorts contained. Maybe she could find something to take back to her room after dinner, if he'd let her. She eventually found a book that she had always wanted to read and pulled it off the shelf. "Thanks for letting me borrow this one," she said as she took a seat at the table.

"Hey did I..." Burger began to say but caught himself, paused and said "You're welcome, I hope you enjoy it," and took his place at the table. One of the side doors opened and the head cook came out with two small covered dishes. she palced one in front of Burger and the other in front of Blossom. She removed the covers to reveal two plates of salad. "Enjoy" she said and walked back through the door. Burger immediately began to eat his salad hungrily, pushing the tomatoes and onions to the side of the plate.

"Salad for dinner? Blech... I only eat the tomatoes." She pouted as she stared at Burger's tomatoes. "Can I..." she started to ask, but stopped herself. She then thought better of it and asked, "Isn't there anything better to eat for dinner in this joint?"

Shoving the last bit of salad in his mouth (leaving the tomatoes) Burger said "There rest isn't completely done yet. We always have salad first here. It's good for you." Noticing Blossom had eaten nothing but tomatoes, he says "do you not like the salad? You can have my tomatoes if you want. Some people don't like this particular dressing, but it's my favorite. It's my own special recipe." he said smiling.

She greedily reached across the table to get his tomatoes. "I really like the dressing. It's just that I don't like too many vegetables. I only eat salad when I make it myself, so that I can put in what I like." She gobbled down the tomatoes. When she was able to talk again, she asked curiously, "Why are you being so nice to me?" She couldn't help but wonder what his plans were for her.

"Why because you're my guest of course. It'd be rude of me not to be nice to you. Why don't you trust me? Is there something wrong with me treating my guests well?" he asked.

"It's just...well... I didn't think I was your guest. I thought I was your captive. But you gave me your tomatoes and didn't object too much to letting me borrow this book." She wasn't sure how to handle herself anymore. He had caught her totally off guard.

"But captive is such a harsh word. Guest sounds much nicer. I hate tomatoes anyway. Now, would you care for something to drink?" Burger asked as the head cook walked back out of the kitchen with two larger covered plates and placed on in front of Blossom and the other in front of Burger. Before uncovering the plates she said "Ok, what will you be drinking today Mr. B?" Burger looked at Blossom, waiting for an answer.

"I'll have a Malibu Bay Breeze, please," she said to the person who brought the food out. She then turned to Burger and asked a bit rudely, "Can I eat now?" She grabbed her fork and knife quickly and prepared to eat.

"Surprise me" Burger said to the cook and she lifted the covers to reveal two large plates of roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, bacon, and a sweet potato. The cook left and returned with a gravy boat, a tray of cranberry sauce a malibu bay breeze, a glass of water and a glass of red wine. She placed the bay breeze in front of Blossom and the other things in front of burger. "Enjoy" she said leaving the dining room.
Burger began eating immediately, helping himself to the gravy. "Gravy?" he asked Blossom

"No thanks, I don't need gravy. I'm good. But, could I have the cranberry sauce please?" She waited for the cranberries and then promptly devoured everything on her plate, except for the skin of the sweet potato.

Eating slowly and watching his guest devour her food, Burger wondered if he should switch to plan C. Finishing his plate, he drank deeply from his wine and asked, "So Miss Sarah, was this your first assignment with the A-B-B?"

"No sir, Mr. Burger, sir. It's the the first time I've beene captured is all. I mean, I've never met you before. If you knew I did this at all, you'd know me before now."
