Chapter 1
Kitchen Boy:
Alec rolled up his white sleeves and soaked his hand into the hot water and began scrubbing the dishes. Waiters and waitresses passed by him and continuously dropped dirty dishes into the sink that he would have to clean. Alec lifted his forearm and wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead wishing he had a better job than this. As soon as he finished cleaning he began drying his hands when suddenly his sister came by and dumped a pile of plants into the sink.
"Sorry Alec, last one, promise." Isabel said tapping his shoulder. He sighed and cleaned the left over dishes and began putting them away. After he was done he went out into the diner and began straightening out the tables and chairs with the other workers. Isabel stood next to him to help out.
"You know, for a high class restaurant, we sure don't get paid enough." He complained.
"You can say that again." His sister said. Suddenly the door to the manager's office opened and Hodge stepped out.
"Everyone, can I have your attention." He called over the mumbling. Everyone stopped talking looked up at the manager. "I got a call from a client. He has hired us to serve at his Halloween party this Friday. We will be arriving at four to start cooking the meals. Here are the items he wants to serve at his party." He said handing the menu around the room.
"But, I had plans with my family!" One of the workers called out.
"Yes, I know and I'm sorry. But you'll have to cancel your plans because this guy pays well."
"This looks difficult to make." Another said.
"I admit it's a little strange, but he said we were the best, so let's make him happy." He said clasping his hands together. "You're dismissed." And Hodge went back into the room. Everyone began to departure from the long night.
In their apartment Isabel and Alec went over the menu and was ceased to be amazed. The menu was decorative with webs, spiders, pumpkins and ghost and very, very glittery. At the back of the pamphlet was a signed signature that read Magnus Bane the High Warlock of Brooklyn in blue sparkles.
"What the hell is his deal with the menu?" Alec asked flipping around in the menu.
"He's probably just getting into the Halloween spirit that's all." Isabel said grabbing a snack from the cupboard then meeting Alec on the couch. There was a separate piece of paper that read the shifts of what the people were doing.
"Ah damn, I'm stuck in the kitchen. I hate getting my hands dirty." Isabel whined. "Lucky you, you get to serve drinks." Alec shot his head up and stared at her.
"You're kidding right?"
"Nope" She said handing the paper to him.
"This isn't good."
"Why? You're so lucky, you get to interact with the people, socialize, and maybe even meet the great Magnus Bane." Alec felt a deep twist at the bottom of his stomach. I could also make a fool out of myself he thought.
"I'm going to bed." He said getting up not wanting to about it anymore.
"Alright, night."
