Restaurant

"And why have you brought me here?" asked James.

"Do me a favor, have a look at this place from top to bottom when you get the chance and also examine the food that they serve" said Bloom.

"Why?" asked James.

"You'll see" said Bloom with a serious expression.

Soon enough, James and Bloom were shown to their seats and Bloom only ordered water. James however ordered the lobster tail and he watched the staff carefully. Eyeing the fish tank that was filled with lobsters, James wondered about their freshness.

James's dish soon arrived and he immediately began inspecting the dish. A few seconds later, he had the exact same expression as Bloom.

"..........Dear me.......firstly this looks disgusting in terms of appearance but that's not the worst part. This..........it....look at this, it looks like the lobster was ALREADY dead before they even cooked it" said James as he took the lobster tail apart.

"Yesterday, Sky ordered another dish and he said to me via text later on that he immediately felt sick once he got back to Red fountain. After that, he said that he also started vomiting but he was thankfully alright afterwards" said Bloom.

"...........You! Come here! Firstly, do you know who I am?" asked James as he called a staff member to come over to his table.

"You're prince James. Your restaurants have also gotten 3 Michelin stars on Earth" said the waiter.

"Are you the owner of this establishment?" asked James.

"Yes, me and my wife over there" said the owner as he pointed at his wife.

"Do me a favor, taste this!" said James as he sliced a piece of lobster tail and gave it to the owner to taste.

"...........UGG!!" belched the owner as he immediately wanted to gag.

"You, where is this lobster from?" asked James as he called another waiter to come over.

"The lobster is from the tank, do you want to take a look?" asked the waiter.

"Ok.........my goodness" said James as he got up and approached the lobster tank.

Looking through the tank, James soon spotted something among the mass.

"Is he dead?!" asked James as he pointed at one of the lobsters.

"I think they're just sleeping" said the owner.

"No he must be dead......." said James with wide eyes as he began fishing that lobster out with his hands.

"We keep a good eye on this......" said the owner's wife.

"You keep a good eye on them? Certainly not........oh my god, look! Look at this! He's done, dead. A dead lobster! How is this allowed?!" asked James.

The owners and the waiters soon witnessed James cracking the dead lobster open with his bare hands, they soon saw him sniffing it and staring at it.

"Uuu............let me tell you now, this is 1%. And if this is 1%, this 1% is now in all of these other lobsters, they've been feeding off of it! They're becoming.......full of bacteria!" yelled James.

"I'll get rid of this right now" said the owner

"You need more than that, all of these lobsters need to be taken out now! Now I feel bad for them!! I'd rather they die a delicious and nutritious meal! Not get infected by bacteria and who knows what else, continuing to suffer for the rest of their lives and then die off eventually because of it! You realize how heartless that is?! How heartless it sounds?!" yelled James.

Then something else got James's attention, a lady was at the bathroom door and she was repeatedly knocking on the door and asking the person inside of the bathroom if whether he was alright.

"Are you waiting for the bathroom Miss?" asked James as he came over.

"No um...........my friend got sick" said the woman.

"Really? What did he have?" asked James as he began looking concerned.

"The lobster tail" said the woman.

"Really?" asked James as he immediately stared at the bathroom door.

"The lobster, he said it tasted funny and then the next thing I knew...he was sick" said the woman.

"..........Excuse me" said James with disgust as he went towards the kitchen.

Once James entered the kitchen, the chefs there were immediately staring at him.

"Stop staring at me, stop what you're doing now and just follow me! You two, the owners, the both of you as well!" said James as he went out.

Walking towards the lady with the large group behind him, James soon addressed the poor lady once again while facing the staff members.

"There's a gentleman in there...who's sick in the bathroom....." said James with a sigh.

"Yeah, he had the lobster tail with mushrooms. And then suddenly he felt ill......" said the woman.

"Would......would you like medical assistance? Would you like me to call 911?" asked the owner's wife.

"Where is your table?" asked James.

"Right there, near the window" said the woman.

"Alright......" said James as he went towards the table.

Once there, James soon saw the lobster dish and he immediately sliced off a piece and began sniffing it.

"All of you staff people, come here and smell this carefully!" yelled James.

"..........Smells bad...." said a chef.

"Smells fishy, smells rotten and you can smell the ammonia. You smell that?! And that's exactly what that man's eaten! Ammonia, that's what releases when the body starts to decompose and where did this lobster come from? That tank, sound familiar?! I'm willing to bet that this lobster was infected, just like the rest! One of you chefs, just clarify it for me......what's the worst case scenario here?!" asked James.

"It could possibly kill him" said one of the chefs.

"Kill him, exactly. And while we're discussing this, there's a poor man vomiting in the toilet right now!" said James.

"Should we call an ambulance?" asked the owner.

The man soon came out of the toilet and he really looked ill. He had tears in his eyes from all that vomiting and naturally his face looked flushed.

"I'm not taking any chances, call an ambulance right now!" ordered James.

While the owner of the place did just that, James quickly went over to Bloom who was watching her brother inspecting the place.

"Can you try to stabilize that man? At least until help arrives?" asked James.

"I'll do my best" said Bloom with a nod as she quickly went to the unfortunate customer.

"........Now to inspect the kitchen" said James with a sigh as he entered said area.
