Prolouge: Weird Behavior
Back in the city of lost memories, I, Roger Smith, top negotiator once again
cruised the streets. But instead of going to a client I'm heading home. A while back I
used to avoid my huge mansion. Why would I do that? Just because it has everything I
could ever want it was missing a vital part. Someone who loves me to come home to. Now
that Dorothy and I are together home has become my favorite place.
I pull up into my garage where Norman was waiting. I step out tossing Norman
the keys. " Home early again Master Roger. Good, good. Dinner is waiting on the table
for you," he said with a smile. I chuckled at my butler. He seemed pleased at my sudden
change in habits. He probably got sick of me skipping out on his wonderful meals.
I head up the steps to the dining room. As I enter, I see Dorothy at the table
finishing off her plate. I stand at the door watching her. She usually waits for me to show
up before she starts to eat. After she wipes her mouth clean I approach her. " Just couldn't
wait for me could you?," I asked. She jumps a little at the sound of my voice in the quiet
dining hall. She looks in my direction with a smile forming on her lips.
" I'm sorry Roger. The food just looked so good and you were taking too long so
I just started without you. I can eat again if you like," she said. I kissed her briefly on the
lips tasting some of the strawberries she just ate. " That's not necessary," I said. " But I
wouldn't mind," she retorted. I frowned a bit. " But I said..," I started before she cut me off.
" No 'buts' Roger Smith. I will eat with you and you won't say another thing about it. Got it?,"
she said. I chuckled at her demanding tone. " Fine Ms. Waynewright. Only because you
insisted," I said. She smiled at her victory.
I sat down at my usual end of the table while Norman brought out two more plates.
When he got to Dorothy he shook his head. " This is your third plate Ms. Dorothy. You really
should watch your figure," he said laying the plate on the table. She glared at him. He immediatly
backed off as he rushed back to the kitchen. " Your third plate Dororthy?," I asked. She picked
her fork up. " You never asked me how many plates I had," she said digging her fork into the
macaroni.
The whole time I was eating I kept watching Dorothy. She was eating at a very fast pace
and ended up getting yet another plate. When she decided she was full she excused herself from the
table. I watched her leave before starting to eat again. Norman peaked out the kitchen to see if
she was gone before he came out. He wiped his hands clean before he sat beside me at the table.
" Is something wrong Norman?," I asked. " I'm concerned about Miss Dorothy Sir. She
has been eating excessively for the past couple of days. Something could be wrong with her system.
She eats like she has a tapeworm," he said. I finished my dinner wiping my mouth clean. " I know.
I haven't really paid attention to it until tonight. I thought she just loved your cooking," I said. A
concerned look appeared on his features. " Well, I think I should also tell you that she's been
sneaking down here at night to eat more. You should really see Mr. Stein about it," he said. I
nodded. " Good idea Norman. It's been a while since I've seen Walter anyway. Thanks for informing
me about her recent behavior," I said. He rose from the table. " Of course Master Roger," he said
as he left the dining room.
I rose from the table as well heading to Dorothy's room. When I peaked through the door
she was already asleep. I noticed she's been doing a lot of that lately too. Before I left I took note
that her hand was resting on her stomach. I was going to think nothing of it but my mind kept nagging
that something about that was important. I shrugged it off shutting her door so she could enjoy a
blissful sleep.
