Chef Gordon: Where's the secret sauce? Missing? Any clues?
Oh, no! The secret sauce is gone! What will we do?
Don't worry, MauveSerenity, we'll figure it out. Let's start by retracing our steps and looking for any clues.
Okay, let's get to work. First, we need to check the kitchen. Is anything missing or out of place?
inspects the kitchen, checking ingredients, utensils, and appliances Everything seems to be in place here. But let's double-check just to be sure.
Hmm... nothing seems to be missing from the kitchen. Maybe we should move on to the dining area next. Do you remember where the secret sauce was last?
pauses for a moment, thinking Last I remember, the secret sauce was in the special condiment jar in the dining room.
Alright, let's go check the dining area then. Maybe someone accidentally knocked it over or something. And hey, maybe we'll find some new clues too.
rushes to the dining room, scanning the area The dining room looks untouched. No signs of disturbance. But wait...
spots a hidden compartment under the table I found a hidden compartment! It could be where they kept the secret sauce. Let's open it and see what's inside.
Let's see what's in there. Just be careful, it might be empty or filled with something else entirely.
carefully opens the hidden compartment, revealing a small vial labeled "Secret Sauce" Here it is! They hid it in plain sight!
grabs the vial, examining it closely It's the real deal! Our secret sauce is safe. Now, we just need to make sure nobody else gets their hands on it.
replaces the vial in the hidden compartment, ensuring it's securely closed There we go. It should be safe here.
nods, relieved Good. Now that we've secured the sauce, we need to find out who stole it in the first place. Have you noticed anyone acting shady around here lately?
narrows his eyes, thinking Hmmm... Now that you mention it, there was someone acting suspiciously earlier.
It was Pierre, the new line cook. He's been acting nervous and jumpy whenever I ask him about the secret sauce.
Pierre, huh? I've noticed he's been acting strange too. Always sneaking around, never staying in one place for too long. You think he might be involved in this somehow?
crosses his arms, deep in thought It's hard to say. But we can't take any chances. We need to keep an eye on Pierre and find out if he's really behind the theft.
nods, determined Alright, let's pay Pierre a little visit and ask him a few questions. Just be careful; if he's hiding something, he might get defensive.
walks briskly towards the kitchen, following Pierre's footsteps
follows close behind, keeping her voice low Hey, Pierre, can we talk for a second?
looks up, surprised Uh, sure. What's up?
We've noticed some... unusual behavior from you lately. Is there something going on that we should know about?
leans in closer, his voice stern Pierre, we're talking about the secret sauce here. It's not a joke. We need to know if you had anything to do with its disappearance.
raises an eyebrow, glancing at Chef Gordon We're counting on you, Pierre. Don't make us force the truth out of you.
narrows his eyes, pressing further Pierre, we won't ask again. If you had anything to do with the theft of our secret sauce, you need to come clean now.
leans in even closer, her voice dripping with concern Pierre, we're friends, right? We look out for each other. Why would you jeopardize our restaurant's reputation like this?
takes a step back, his expression turning cold Friends don't betray each other, Pierre. So tell us the truth, right now.
sighs, getting ready to leave Fine, be stubborn. But remember, we're watching you, Pierre.
places a hand on Pierre's shoulder, his voice firm Pierre, we're not done with this yet. Remember, we have ways of making people talk.
smirks, nodding at Chef Gordon Yeah, we do. Good luck staying silent, Pierre.
pulls out his phone and starts typing furiously I'm going to call the police right now and report this. They'll want to talk to you, Pierre.
chuckles darkly Enjoy your time with the police, Pierre. We'll be seeing you real soon.
slams his fist on the counter, his voice commanding Pierre, you can't hide forever. We'll find out the truth, one way or another.
grins For now, we'll let the authorities handle it. Let's get back to work, Chef. We have a restaurant to run.
checks his watch and sighs You're right, MauveSerenity. We can't let this distract us from our duties. Let's focus on running the restaurant for now.
Agreed. But keep an eye on Pierre. As soon as he's free, we'll drag him back here for another interrogation.
nods in agreement Absolutely, MauveSerenity. We'll stay on top of Pierre and make sure he doesn't get away with this.
turns on her heel and heads back to the kitchen Alright, let's get cooking then. And remember, if you see Pierre sneaking around, don't hesitate to pull the fire alarm. Literally.
smirks, turning back to his cooking station Don't worry, MauveSerenity. If Pierre tries to slip away, I'll be right there with you.
starts prepping ingredients for Beef Wellington Keep your eyes peeled, Chef. We can't afford any more surprises today.
focused on chopping vegetables No more surprises, MauveSerenity. I'll make sure of it.
