CHAPTER – 24

ROOM SERVICE

Sylvia and Cognac were curled up on the divan. They were watching a DVD of Homeward Bound on a large plasma screen in a decadent guest suite at the far end of the mansion.

“Okay, Cognac, this is the part where the doggies and the kitty find their way back home to their family.”

Vichyssoise entered with a covered tray, and Cognac started to bark.

“Quiet down, honey, and let me put it on pause, or you’ll miss the good stuff! Thanks for getting up and cooking something, Vichy,” Sylvia said, as the sullen assassin set the tray down on the coffee table in front of the divan.

“Hmmmm, shrimp dumplings with curried peanut sauce and chicken satay. It smells delicious!”

“Thank you, Mistress,” Vichyssoise replied, as a little of the tension and resentment left her face.

“You sure can cook, honey. Cognac just loves this stuff. Go for it, boy!” With that, the pampered little Yorkie leapt up on the coffee table and buried his muzzle in the plate of food.

“This is for the dog? You woke me up, in the middle of the night, to cook for a DOG?!” Vichyssoise hissed.

“Calm down, honey! With these nails, I’d never be able to use a can opener, let alone find my way to the kitchen, which is, what, about a half a mile away from here? Besides, that dog food gunk has way too many preservatives, and Cognac loves your cooking.”

“Why I …” Vichy sputtered, but her reply was cut short as a light started flashing on her wristwatch. It beeped at the same time.

“Someone has accessed the central computer! It can’t be Mistress Zaroya. She’s not back from her meeting yet.”

“Is there a problem?” Sylvia asked.

“I’ve got to get over there!” Vichyssoise whirled around without another thought about the dining dog, and raced back down the hallway, clutching the lid to the tray in her hands.

“Don’t worry, honey, you can come back and pick up the dishes later!” Sylvia called out after Vichyssoise. “Boy, Cognac, I thought she was about to have a hissy fit over your midnight snack.”

“Wooff wooff wuff!” the little Yorkie lifted his head from the plate for a moment to respond to her and then went back to devouring the contents.

“Yah, well, next time you get the midnight munchies, buster, I’m just gonna order you some cocktail weenies with pork and beans. It’s a lot less cooking for the help to deal with and less gas for you too.”
