Duncan's POV:
I woke up to a cage. A rusty, dingy, and dark setting. Isidora was next to me, she was waking up too. "Uh DUNCAN WHERE ARE WE?!" She yelled, noticing her surroundings. "I have no clue.." I said, gazing up at the celling, which seemed to be miles up above us. "What do you remember?" Isidora asked me. "Well I remember someone knocking me out from behind.." I recalled. "Same.." Isidora said, staring at the wall. "Wait, look at the pieces of metal on the wall, and the architecture of this room.. We are at the bottom of an elevator!" Isidora noticed. "Wait.. Do you think this is the reason why the elevators on this building are 'out'?" I asked. "I'm not sure.. Do you think Esme is behind this? Or worse, Count Olaf?" Isidora asked sulking. "Hey, we don't know that! I'm sure the Baudelaires are looking for us right now."
Klaus's POV:
We walked inside the restaurant, 'Cafe Salmonella.' Referring to a fish. We took a seat at our reserved table. Esme and Jerome chatted away, but Esme kept glancing at us with a weird look.. Our waiter came. "Hello! I'm Larry, your waiter!" A man in a fish costume said to us. It hit me. "Wait, you're Larry, the waiter in that other-" I started. Larry shushed me, and then winked to let me know it was him. For the next 3 minutes, Larry gave us a terribly given message, by reading the menu.. But we were able to get this:
"don't worry about Count Olaf. Keep an Eye on Everything.
Take care of yourselves and the Quagmires. Stay Safe."
Then he left to cook the food. As the Squalor Couple chatted away, me, Violet and Sunny devised a plan. "We have to get back to the penthouse." Violet said. "Jeaclinok" Sunny said, meaning but how? "Let's pretend we feel sick too, but make it really believable.. We'll need a lot to convince Esme." I said, curious as to how we could do that. "How about the Peppermints?" Violet asked. Ah, the Peppermints. Me, Violet, and Sunny were all allergic to Peppermints, you see. At this point we had an immunity to the pain, but not to what we looked like when we ate them. "Luckily, Mr. Poe gave me some Peppermints, this morning." I said, pulling out three. "I figured they'd come in handy." I said, passing them out. "Ze" Sunny said meaning 1. '2' I said. '3.' Violet sighed. We all stuffed them in our mouths. Within 10 second, their was a long shriek coming from Esme's Mouth. "Baudelaires! Are you all ok?" Jerome yelped. "Yes, we're fine! We don't feel very well, we are going to head back to the penthouse, you guys stay her and enjoy the food!" Violet said, grabbing Sunny. As we left the restaurant, we could see the look on Esme's face. She knew we were up to something.
After the long walk up the stairs, we needed a plan. "What now? Klaus asked. "Karensj!" Sunny squealed, meaning the elevator! "Good Idea Sunny!" Violet said. I pressed the elevator button. It opened to not an Elevator, but and Elevator shaft.. It went down so low I couldn't see the bottom. "Uh oh.." I said. "We Have to get down there!" Violet said. "But how?" I asked. "I have a plan." Violet said.
It better be good, because last time I checked, my glasses break easily..
