Part 3

Olaf just grinned...

''Well, you have to set up rat traps in the basement.'' He took Briars wrist and pulled her in the basement. ''Get to work.'' Count Olaf grinned and stepped out of the basement. He closed the door. 

Briar slid down the door and started to cry. She couldn't just cry in front of her siblings. She's the oldest so she had to be strong and optimistic. But how could she when she's all alone?

No one knew than count Olaf stood behind the door and listened the poor girl cry. His heart concracted painfully, but he tried to ignore the feeling. He took a deep breath and went back to his secret tower room. He couldn't let his heart break... not again. 

Briar wiped her tears away and got up. She went down the few stairs and looked around. In the middle of the room was a puddle. She grabbed the carton with the traps inside and put it on the dirty floor. Briar took a deep breath an began. 

after she finished, Briar saw a box with chalk inside. She got up and went to the shelf which she pushed aside with all her powers. You could see wall which was a bit less dirty than the other walls in the room. She took a piece of chalk and began to draw.

After a while count Olaf came in. ''Stop drawing foolishly, orphan!'' Olaf hissed and went to her. 

''I'm already finished as you can see.'' She hissed back.

''Yes you are.'' He grinned and stroked her cheek. The ginger frowned confused. His gaze slid the to picture Briar drawd. ''What is that?'' He asked in a cold voice.

''A picture.'' Briar answered annoyed. I mean it was more than obviously.

''I can see that. But why do you draw a picture on my wall?'' He asked and looked slightly imperessed at the picture but tried to hide it. It was a rose with thorns.

''i thought she could use more embellishment. Like you. But I guess it's already to late to help you.'' Briar said brave and pulled slightly on his collar befor she grinned innocent.

Olaf began to growl. ''I already tol you: Take care of you big mouth. Believe me, you don't want to see me angry Orphan.'' He slammed his hand on the wall behind her next to her head. He leaned to Briar and they looked at each other. Both hearts began to race again. He looked at the picture before he standing upright again. ''Go out and wait for you siblings. My theater troup is also here. Briar went upstairs and waited outside while Olaf looked at the picture again while he smiled. 

After a while Briar saw her siblings an went to them. She took Sunny from Violet. 

''You're still alive.'' klaus chuckled slightly.

''What did you had to do?'' Violet asked curious. 

''Set up mouse traps.'' briar scoffed.

''We were in Justice Strauss bibliothek to think about a recept. She has a niece. Her name is Emma and her best friend's name is Josie. I guess our dear Klaus has a little crush on Josie.'' Violet chuckled and Briar looked at her brother who blushed. 

''She likes reading like me.'' He said excited. 

'''Naaw my little brother has a crush.'' Briar grinned.

''The Library was a dream.'' Violet said.

''Josie was a dream.'' Klaus muttered.

Briar chuckled. 

''But I guess you and Emma would be great friends, so she likes drawing like you.'' Violet said. 

''Well maybe I can meet her. So what recept are we going to cook?'' Briar asked.

''Noodles.''

Briar opened the door and the Baudelaires went Inside. 

''Klaus, what's the thing James Brown said?'' Violet asked.

Olaf rushed downstaris with his cape. ''I feel good.'' An accordion began to play and a few people were standing upstairs. 

''And one, and two, and a-'' olaf ran out the room.

Olaf and the Peoples began to sing and Briar had to laugh, but she tried not to. 

So after the show the Baudelaired din't know what to do, Olaf rolled annoyed the yes. ''The count~'' He sang the last words again. 

''Yes, we've met.'' Violet said.

Something about Olaf, made Briar to like him. She didn't know what it was. 

''Orphans, this is my theater troup and as anyone in theater knows, after a grand entrance, the audience is supossed to applaud.'' Olaf said.

'' 'Applaud' means go like this;'' The hookman clapped his hooks. 

''We're not an audience.'' Klaus said confused. 

''No, Orphans, you are not. But we have been preparing an exiting new production that, on opening night, will change your life. All of the artistic and financial aspects on my career are finally coming together like two peaces of a bread in the middle of a sandwich.'' Olaf explained.

''Brad goes on the outside of a sandwich.'' Sunny said, but just the Baudelaires understood her.

''What my sister means it-'' Klaus began but Olaf interrupted him. 

''I don't care what she means. I don't have time to learn a second language whatever it is the reader can read. In any case, we  demand congratulations.''

''Congratulations.'' The three of them said at the same time. 

''A big round of applaude.'' Olaf said sighing.

Klaus clapped with the bags.

''And the delicious meal that you promised myself and the troup.''

''We need a few minutes, you soundred!'' Sunny said.

''You know, every time she talks, it's like the tines of a fork are being jammed into my-''

''What my sister means is, dinner will be served shortly.'' Violet interrupted the count.

''What are supposed to do until then?'' Olaf asked.

''Well, I guess i saw a few bottles of wine downstairs.'' Briar said. ''I could bringt it to you if you want.''

Olaf thought for a moment. ''Okay, bring me my Merlote!'' Olaf said and went out of the room followed by his theater troup.

Briars siblings went to the kitchen while Briar goes to the basement.
