CLANDESTINE
NOTE: As I don't own the Samurai Pizza Cats, theirs no need to sue me. I'm not making money from this, so there!
It was three days later when Guido lost his bottle. Speedy had fixed a new handle on the door. The day was normal as if nothing happened. Speedy was serving customers, Polly had turn to do delivery's, Francine as usual was operating the till and Guido was making the pizza's, an odd sly smile on his face. He was cutting the cheese, every cut dug into the cheese was getting harder and more forceful, he then grinned, mumbling under his breath, saying something bad, something that was not like Guido...something evil. His cutting was now a sort of stabbing, the cheese bits flying everywhere. "Guido?". The female voice stopped him, he turned and looked at Francine.
"What are you doing?" asked Francine
"I'm...cutting the cheese, like you told me too..."
"Yeah, cutting! Not stabbing the cheese like it was a person"
"Wouldn't that be a shame..." whispered Guido.
"What?"
"Nothing...nothing..." said Guido, with his hands up, then carried on cutting the cheese. Francine looked at him, bit her bottom lip and then went to close the door from the restaurant so no one could hear them talk.
"Listen, Guido, I know!" she said.
"Know what?" asked Guido, not interested.
"I just know...(pulls something out of here pocket)...this is my clue" Francine said.
Guido stopped what he was doing and looked at what was in her hand, he gasped and took it off her. "Where'd you get this?"
"I'm betting it was in the bin, it was amongst the litter. Why haven't you said anything?" asked Francine.
"Why should I? It's my secret...I just..." trailed off Guido
"Do Speedy and Polly know? Have you told them?"
There was a pause then Guido let out a sigh. "No..."
Francine didn't know what to say but to leave the room, she grabbed the door but was stopped by Guido grabbing her arm but nothing to rough.
"Francine...please don't tell them...It's already hard as it is..."
Francine smiled slightly and put her hand up. "Clandestine. Like you said, it's YOUR secret. I just hope you know what you're doing". Guido then let go of her and Francine walked out. Guido then took a long sigh, looking at the cheese for a second and then stabbed it with a knife in anger. "Just let it go..." he sighed again.
Just then Speedy popped through the door. "Hey, Guido, those pizza's done yet?". Guido, like a flash, grabbed eight finished and cooked pizzas and chucked them at Speedy one by one and with ease Speedy caught them with no trouble. "Thanks, mate!" he smiled and went on the diner floor. Guido was on his own. "I don't think we'll be mates for long...not if I can control my feelings..." he said sadly. He picked up the little box that Francine gave back to him, saw the box had been opened, he opened the box and inside the box was a heart-shaped lockett, he put the box down and then read the back of the locket, engraved was:
"My heart is yours, forever, Love Guido"
Guido then opened the locket, which had two small pictures, on the left was Guido, smiling and winking and on the right...was a beautiful picture of Polly, who looked like she was staring back at him with those come to bed eyes. Guido then closed the locket and puts it in his pocket and sighed again. "Just...let it go..."
