Episode Twelve — Part IV (Chapters five to seven): Rob explains how
he escapes Gargantuan Enterprises with the incriminating data, and
meets up with Ariadne. They have the talk. Meanwhile, Erma decides to
rescue the now-apish Nick from the now-nymphish Helena. And in chapter
seven, we learn what Gag knows about the security breach, and that the
Ghost of Johnny can speak a little Latin.
An excerpt of Rob waiting at a Starbucks for his new love:
“I’ll wait for you at the Den of Ubiquity,” I whispered, “next door.”
I liked the chain’s coffee, though I’m not a connoisseur. I’m not
sure you need four or five of them within a one-block radius, no matter
how addicted to their brand of caffeine you might be. Perhaps it is the
marvellous decor that people can’t get enough of — too bad you can only
sit in one at a time, though I suppose if they put webcams in each
store you could “enjoy” them all at once.
The barista was fetching, there was no doubt, even if I was already
smitten with Ariadne. Now, you must remember, I had not been in a
“relationship” for some time, and I was yet to get into that mindset. I
noticed her making the coffee right away. Perhaps it was her
overwhelming competence — she only had to hear a customer ask for a
double-milk-latte-half-caf-mocha-frappa-dappa-doolay once, and she had
the order — but I think it was her distracted, yet annoyed smile that
did it for me. It could have been her voluptuous figure, of which I
could only see the top half. Perhaps it was the man-juice flowing in my
veins. So, I had no reservations about sitting there, sipping my Kenyan
High-land Roast Orgasm, or whatever it was called, while Ariadne
finished her shift.
She arrived in time to rescue our budding romance from my fickle
male nature. When she walked in, looking as dignified as any upright
hominid can in a polyester uniform adorned with the Consume-It! logo; I
forgot all about the angry barista."
