<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

The four children and the good Doctor went back into the house and had the dinner Dr Montgomery had brought in, with Olaf at the table sat opposite Luna, she couldn't eat anything, the thought of her father just being an arm length away scared her, she had gone a sickly place and her hands were shaking underneath the table.

Violet wasn't the only one who noticed the girls off behaviour, but what did they expect, the very man she was terrified of was right in front of her "now let's eat quickly everyone we don't want to be late for the movies" Dr Montgomery said "I don't think I'll be joining tonight" Olaf said in his fake voice making Luna flinch a little, Violet couldn't take the girls fear anymore and wanted to make her feel safe, so ever so carefully, the brunette slipped her hand into Luna's.

The girl looked towards Violet ever so slightly and smiled. A little as Olaf continued talking " I thought I'd stay in and read up on poisonous venoms" this made the children look towards each other and in their minds, they guessed what Olaf was going to do but Dr Montgomery said not to interfere.

"well, Stephano, you must join us we have to celebrate your arrival" Dr Montgomery said but Olaf just smiled "in all honesty I prefer long form television to the movies it's so much more convenient to consume entertainment from the comfort of your own home" Olaf said which earned weird looked from the children "I insist you come"

"I insist upon staying here"

"well, I insisted first"

"well I insisted..... Louder!"

Dr Montgomery just laughed and looked back to Olaf " with all due respect I feel a little uncomfortable leaving my reptiles alone with a relative stranger" Olaf tried to think of a counter argument but could not "fine, but I would like to make a brief phone call before we leave" Olaf said and Luna knew exactly what her father was going to do, he was going to call his theatre troop.

"OK, the phone is in the parlor" Dr Montgomery said but before the evil man could get up Violet asked a question " could you please pass the pot stickers?" Dr Montgomery was about the pass Violet what she requested but Olaf just picked up the bowl and stuffed them into his mouth, Luna found this very disgusting and down right rude.

After he had stuffed them down his throat he spoke with his mouth full of the food "there all gone" he said, his voice muffled by the foods still present in his mouth.

'you disgust me' Sunny said in her usual baby noises and Luna leaned over "dito" she said in the quietest voice so the man did not hear her.

After Olaf left the room let the tears that she held in fall, Violet brought the girl into a hug "why can't you just call the police?" Violet asked as she held Luna closer "I have all under control, trust me Bambini" he said as he put his hat on.

The children got ready to go to the movie theater and they went out of the door, the children got into the car and Olaf got into the front as Dr Montgomery shut the door Olaf pulled out a large knife "we don't know what you're up to, but we will find out" Violet said harshly to the man in disguise "if anything happens to my sisters or me you'll never get your hands on the Baudelaire fortune" Klaus said in the same tone.

"if I wanted to harm you orphan, your blood would be streaming out of this car like a water fall" Olaf said tracing his finger along his very large knife, Luna was taking shaky breaths as she watched him closely, trying to predict his next move "no, I am not going to harm a hair on any Baudelaire head" he then turned around pointing the knife at Luna "but you, you have no value, and will be the first-to-go" he said threateningly "you will not harm her!" Violet yelled placing her arm over Luna protectively as the driver door opened, Olaf quickly put the knife back in his jacket and put the fake accent on "and that is when I said to him, the frog is the greatest Reptile known to man" he said as if he had being telling a story.
