Soup of the day.

' So they think that they can just dump me after all these years, do they'? That was the question that Fred Engalls, also known as Colonel Fred asked himself as he finished evesdropping on the the restaurant share holders meeting. It was being held in the back office of Chez La Fondue, a New York City hot spot for the past two decades. For those past two decades Colonel Fred had been the head Saucier, many believed him to be the greatest living american soup maker and now the ingrates were planning on dumping him. 'They probably want to go for one of those younger more dangerous soup punks from Albany' were his thoughts' but I won't let em get rid of me with out a fight'. The whole time he spent listening to the share holders griping about lost profit and former fiscal years and especially how he had to "trim some old fat from the payroll", Fred was hatching a plan, a plan for revenge! Palid, pinch faced Miss Patricia Brown was the head of the share holders commitee and one of the Colonels greatest adversaries, she was the one who wanted to get rid of Fred the most, she was the one that had to pay the most.
It was quarter to midnight the same evening that Miss Brown went missing. After a very short police investigation, her disappearance was listed as an unwarrented waste of department money, the police figured she had just run off. She of course, did not run off, Miss Brown would later show up at the next share holders meeting. The menu read, rack of lamb and red potatoes with vinegrette salad and Cream of Vengeance soup for starter
