ISU Espionage: Part III, Dinner, Episode II

The food was ordered.  The collegians were hungry.  They walked to the restaurant.  Then they picked up their food and ate some of it on a table outside the building.  They then realized it was cold out so they moved their camp inside.  In the end, they ate in the warmth of a building.

Now some of my critics will say, "Where were you during this whole scene?  You act as if you had a birds eye view, yet we know the wing speed velocity of a human does not allow for such a position!"

My answer to the critics: I was with the group.  I ordered on someone's computer: a burger basket with fries.  I chose the burger and fries because it was both delicious and nutritious.  Generally when eating food, especially in a college setting, the food is either delicious or nutritious.

How did they manage to make this look healthy?

Not this time.  This time, my food was delicious and nutritious.  During dinner one of the girls looked at her phone and then a dark look was cast upon her face.  As she slowly raised her head to make contact with the rest of the table, we knew what was coming.  Somebody was here.  That somebody needed help moving in.  We all avoided her gaze.  Recognizing our avoidance, the girl opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out.  She was speechless.  After taking a bite of her chicken breast she managed to speak...

"Susanna and her grandparents just pulled up.  They need help moving in.  We should go help her."

The reply from the table was unanimous, "Yes, we should!"

The reply from the table turned out to be misleading.  Only two or three other students got up to help.  The rest continued to eat in silence (except for the majority of the table, which was eating and talking at the same time).

It was another good 15 minutes before we finished eating and went back up to the dorm rooms.  We stopped by Susanna's room to see if she had moved in okay.  As we turned our heads, slowly, one by one, into the room, we saw three people standing.  One of the people was Susanna.  The other two we can safely assume to be her grandparents, considering both of the people were old and were talking with Susanna.  It is not without surprise that the occupants of the room noticed ten people peeking their heads around the doorway, and we were caught.  One of the more daring house members asked Susanna, "Did you move in okay?" She said with a faint smile, "Yes, we made it alright."

After an awkward silence





everyone left the room.

Burger and fries from McDonalds.  Joking, it was from my good friends at http://www.netherways.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/burger-and-fries.jpg
