    Ihop arrived at Denny's and walked into the crowded restaurant. Her tight curls bounced as she walked, she had a confident vibe to her, people could sense she was there. She waved at people as she passed by and made her way to the kitchen. She greeted the workers with a friendly smile and a casual pat on the back as she made her way to the boss' office. " Hello." She entered without warning. She sat in the chair in front of the boss and crossed her legs. 

   " Oh, uh, Hello Ihop. I wasn't expecting you today. I, uh, how may I help you?" Danielle the boss stumbled over her words in shock when Ihop entered. Her attention quickly moved to Ihop as she settled herself. 

     " Tell them to get out." Ihop leaned back in her chair and smirked. The boss' eyes narrowed in panic.

    " It's not time for you to take over yet. I still have to break the news to my workers that were selling this place to you." Danielle grabbed her papers and went started to flip through them. She was looking for the contract between her and Ihop. 

    " There's no better time than the present." Ihop pointed to the door. " Tell them all to leave." 

   "  No." The boss stood up. She was standing her ground, no one was going to tell to leave her own establishment.

    " No?" Ihop's eyebrows lifted as she smirked. Danielle's eyes started to shake with nervousness, but she wasn't going to let someone treat her like this. 

    "Y-yeah, that's what I said." She nodded. It seemed she was trying to make herself believe what she was saying more than Ihop. 

    " Okay." Ihop shrugged and started to get up. She made her way to the door and paused " This place is pretty old, you should get it remodeled sometime." Ihop looked around before she exited the room and left the building.

     " Is that Ihop?" Denny's pointed at a distance figure walking out of the restaurant. 

      " It is. Duck down!" Wafflehouse pushed Denny's shoulder down as he went down as well. Denny's and Wafflehouse were on a stakeout on a hill watching for suspicious activity. They had been hanging and talking more over the past two weeks since the first time they hung out. They had been planning this stakeout for the past week. The idea came to be after Denny's and Wafflehouse went to a steakhouse to discuss the plan, and Denny's made a lame joke about steakhouses and stakeouts. So there they were on their Friday night having a stakeout. " How come you didn't see her go in?" 

    " I was changing out CDs, we already listened to this album."  Denny's picked up his binoculars he just so happen to have. " She looks like she's up to no good." 

    " Well that's nothing new." Wafflehouse took the binoculars from Denny's and put it up to his eyes. " She doesn't have anything in her hands. So maybe she signed something in the restaurant." 

    " Or everyone told her to suck it and leave." Denny's leaned in trying to see what she was doing. 

   " Yeah, no." Wafflehouse put down the binoculars and turned up the radio. Denny's picked up the binoculars and stared for a minute. 

   "Holy shit!" Denny's jumped and adjusted the binoculars. 

   " What!?" Wafflehouse jumped and tried to see what Denny's was freaking out about.

   " She has a heckin' nice car." Wafflehouse punched Denny's in the arm " What?" 

   " I thought you caught her doing something!" Wafflehouse chuckled and leaned back in his seat.
