A bit early, but in most of the world it is Sunday. Plus, I'm afraid of making more mistakes if left til tomorrow morning. This week's prompt: Prisoner

"Hey, Baby, you know you want me." "Get lost, Creep!" "Don't be so cold! You know you're a prisoner to my charms." "Ugh." Jun rolled her eyes, unable to believe the audacity of this guy. Still, she gave him one last chance. "I'm not interested. Now leave me alone, or you'll regret it." "Ooooh!" The drunken man cowered in mock terror. "I'm scared, Baby! Take me over your knee and spank me!" "Not exactly what I had in mind." Jun sighed, raising her knee and giving the man a swift hit to the groin. He doubled over, collapsing to the floor, while his nearby friends watched in horror. "You bitch!" the man yelled, in an extraordinarily high voice. "See if I ever come back to this dump again!" His friends scooped him up, dragging him out the door, glaring at Jun as they did so. The sudden silence made it all too clear that she had just lost the last of her customers. How was she ever going to make a go of this business?

Somehow I get the feeling that guy isn't welcome at any of the other places, either...

Maybe the Snack J just isn't meant to be.

Ken fell for that? Or is he ruled by his stomach?

"Oh..." Jason moaned, looking down. "You are so good for me. So dark...so smooth...so tasty. I'm truly a prisoner to your magic." Then he attacked the last piece of his Death By Chocolate cake.

Talk about being ruled by your stomach!

That's what gave me the idea. And becoming allergic to chocolate after being a chocoholic, I can tell you its a real addiction.

Yes, it is. I can walk away from a lot of things, but I can't give up my chocolate. I'm more careful about when and how much and what kind I eat, but, I can't give it up completely.

TJ: Jun better be careful that his friends don't come back to extract revenge or something! She definitely needs to attract a better class of customers...

Originally posted by Becky Rock Ken fell for that? Or is he ruled by his stomach?

A guy's gotta keep up his strength, BR. Especially if there's gonna be a throwdown later! BR: LOL. Hopefully chocolate isn't a migraine trigger for Jason!

I think Ken's stomach gave him away, which is why he resigned himself to the game being over. Beck,y I would follow in Joe's footsteps (or mouthfuls?) with that cake! Interesting what you named the cake, given your allergy...

Hi everyone, just got back from a week in Greece, time to catch up! TJ -- maybe Jun should serve some of Becky's cake? Your story reminded me of some self-defence classes I attended -- whatever the instructor tried to teach us, we would come back with "we'll kick them in the groin!"

EW -- sorry, can't help myself: and now Ken should have some of Becky's cake!

Becky -- okay, now I'm going to the kitchen to have some cake!

DT -- you obviously haven't heard the phrase "You can't have your cake and eat it, too"!

EW, then can I have a Condor instead???

Ooooh, sorry, DT! A whole bunch of Condor fans snatched him while you were on vacation!

I have migraines and no longer eating chocolate had no affect on them, so I doubt that claim it triggers migraines.

I still dream about that cake...

TJ - jun certainly doesn't need creeps like that in her diner, they're probably the ones keeping regular customers away.... EW - Sorry, but I'm still not convinced the "Presidente" is a good guy.... Becky - Mmmm chocolate cake.......

KT -- Uh oh.

Originally posted by KT1972 EW - Sorry, but I'm still not convinced the "Presidente" is a good guy....

So who said I was trying to convince you of that?

So Kaden is suddenly a good guy? How 'convenient'....

Originally posted by ElectricWhite Ooooh, sorry, DT! A whole bunch of Condor fans snatched him while you were on vacation!

(Looks around belligerently) Snatched him? And where is he now? (Checks under bed, then in cupboard)

KT - those bracelets are a weak point -- they're an immediate giveaway. One more reason for the team to be more careful, but still... I wonder, however, whether the reaction of the team to Kaden's announcement will be sympathetic or whether they will freak out.

Not under the bed. In the bed.

How did Kaden figure it all out? Why did he have Jun's bracelet? Has the team's cover really been blown? Is that waitress/manager Joe is seeing in on it? Oh, the questions!

That is so mean!!! When my time comes to leave this world, I'm going to get my two favorite foods that I'm allergic to and eat them. A nice big Chocolate Silk Pie, Death By Chocolate Cake, a lobster tail and last but not least, Shrimp Primavera.

A lobster tail in a chocolate silk pie and shrimp primavera in a Death By Chocolate cake?! GROSS!

Separately, my dear. Separately.

I seriously have *no* idea where these things are coming from. LOL. Hope you enjoy! ********************************** Prompt # 127 Prisoner "You'll never guess who I saw the other day, while driving around town." "Who?" Ken asked, closing his eyes at the cool breeze that ruffled his hair, resting his beer bottle on his cocked up knee. "Judy Suzuki." Joe told him, a hint of laughter in his voice as he took a long pull from his beer. "Who?" Joe snickered, casting a sideways glance at his long time friend. "You really have to ask? You don't remember?" "Nope. Should I?" "Well she sure asked me about you." Joe snorted, biting back a laugh at the memory. "Wanted to know if you were single, what you had been up to all these years. Yeah, she always had a thing for you, even back then." "No she didn't. She hated me..." "Ah! You do remember her." Joe said, turning to look at Ken, sprawled out in the chair next to him. "Shut up, Joe." "Judy Suzuki made you eat dirt dude." "She did not," Ken exclaimed face turning red in the dying light, and reached down and took another beer from the cooler at his side. "She did so! I saw her do it." Joe took a swig from his almost empty beer bottle and held out his hand, motioning for Ken to hand him another as well. The cold glass of the new bottle felt good against his warm skin. "We were 11 years old and she was the playground bully. She was even bigger than me at that age." Joe mused, leaning back in his rickety chair and stretching out his long legs, resting his feet on the railing to Ken's porch. "It was one of the few times we had been out of the villa to play with the neighborhood kids down in town." "I don't remember this you know....." Ken insisted as they watched the sun dipping low on the horizon. "How could you not! Please! You were totally her prisoner. She liked you. You wouldn't give her the attention she wanted and she knocked you down, sat on your chest, pinning your arms and made you eat dirt." Joe shook his head. "I think you were traumatized and blocked the memory of it from your mind or something Ken. I'll never forget the sight as long as I live. " Joe recalled, a smile tugging at his mouth. "That brute of a girl in her school uniform, shoving dirt in your face." "Yeah, you just sat and watched laughing your ass off and did nothing to help me." Ken groused as he nursed his beer. "See you do remember it!" Joe grinned. "I'm glad, because I gave her your number and you have a date with her next Saturday. Pick her up at 7 pm."

Joe is evil! Ken ought to make him eat dirt.

BR: I think Joe is just pulling Ken's leg...

TJ: LOL, poor Jun, it's gotta be tough running a bar if you're a pretty girl. EW: Sneaky bastard. Either way, Ken's probably better off eating voluntarily than letting the man hook up an IV! Becky: Hehehe, hopefully the cake won't live up to its name. My mom's been struggling with having a chocolate allergy as well. I told her to find out what aspect of chocolate she's allergic to and see if she can have white chocolate, but of course it doesn't have all the same chemicals and might not feed the addiction the way milk and dark would. Also, migraine triggers are very different from person to person. I understand that for some people, for example, caffeine (and hence chocolate) triggers migraines, while for others it helps ward them off. LOL Becky on your final meal plans ... I like a woman who knows what she wants DT: LOL KT: Ooooh, either Kaden got himself into a real pickle or he's got the perfect setup to get some sympathy and get on the inside. Redbird: OMG Joe is so, so mean, poor Ken! Man I'm dying to get Ken's reaction.

Chris - I guess it is asking a bit too much for the others to welcome Ken with open arms, considering they know what he's been up to the past few years, however I'm wondering how much of Jun's attitude is influenced by her relationship with Adam.

Well I think Adam and Jun are a little peeved with Joe in that Joe's been busting on Adam for their relationship when he had a hidden one that could mean even more trouble.

Originally posted by ChrisW Well I think Adam and Jun are a little peeved with Joe in that Joe's been busting on Adam for their relationship when he had a hidden one that could mean even more trouble.

Plus, if I remember correctly, Adam & Jun didn't think Nambu would be cool with them having a relationship. But then they discovered that Joe & Ken had something that Nambu seemed to be (overall) okay with....so a little jealously might also be playing a part.

Yup. And just in general this Ken guy's been a source of chaos, and this is the first time they know that Joe's been keeping a major secret from them, so yeah, angst! I figured that while it might be natural to take it all out on Ken they all witnessed his mother's death and they're orphans, so they might be inclined to give him a bit of space. Joe, on the other hand ...

Powder blue is kind of the Chief's signature color.
