Summary of Receipt
The CaD manages to obtain one of Friday’s eyes. Also, the House on Dracula Drive is also called the House of Solomon. 8 decides to send 2213 (Warren from Dive Fall?), 3311 and 11411 to deal with a random chupacabra. Also, the O.C. seems to be entangled in some weird stuff. Sophie/Belphegor’s showed up to talk about them, which is apparently pretty big.

CAFE AND DINER RECEIPT FROM 4/14/1*

RECEIPT: WEEKEND004
STATUS: REPEAT RESERVATION
Well, I can't believe we did it. Jeez… how gross. We took one of Friday's eyes. Well, I say "we," but the brunt of the work was, of course, done by 134. Now we have to see if 224 can cast the spell we need to turn it into a two-way viewing device. There are really three possible outcomes here, either we mess up, and the eye is destroyed, or the part of the eye that makes this work is destroyed. Oh well, we'll just try something else. Or it works, and we can finally get a better idea of what is going on inside the House of Solomon. A great success. Or Friday tells Al Crow we yoinked one of his eyes and Crow has the Baba Yaga kill him or they kick him out. A moderate success, as it would at least take Friday off of our plate. Though if he does get kicked out over his missing eye, he'd probably seek vengeance against us, huh? Well, without the House of Solomon, he can only come Flipside on Friday the 13th again, so I'd still consider that a win.
In other news, we've got a report of a loose Chupacabra down in Puerto Rico. It should be pretty easy to deal with. I think it'd be an excellent chance to get one of the lower numbers out in the field for once. That, and 134 deserves a break after today. So, I'm going to have 2213, 11411, 3311 head down there and assist our customer in getting back to Ottawa. It's a pretty routine order, so I'm more than sure you three can handle it. Plus, chupacabras are very friendly if the three I've captured are anything to go by.
In other, other news, strange things have been happening in Florida. Once we settle Jedidiah's tab, we should look into that. They haven't reached out to us for help yet, but I've heard gossip of their... uh... escapades lately from multiple sources. Even Sophie dropped by recently to talk to me about what they're up to. And Sophie seldom visits. But, for now, we should worry about our own big bands.
Cryptically yours,
