Ned sighed. Alone again, he thought. Not like he wasn't used to it. If any of these morons watched the show, they would realize that Chris wouldn't waste money on helicopter gas to divert them, since he was so invested in spending top dollar on himself. He smiled, hearing the flow of a creek. As he reached the creek he heard, he saw a berry bush, and deciding he was a bit peckish, decided to snack on them. He plucked one from the bush and plopped it into his mouth. Just as he started chewing, his eyes grew really wide. "Hot, hot, hot!" he yelled. He ran around madly for a few seconds before splashing water into his mouth like a madman.

Chris sat and watched on his personal monitor, relaxed in a lawn chair along with Chef. He laughed and pointed at Ned in pain on the screen. "Oh, man. I had a few species implanted here from various countries. That's a Portugese Spicebush, more conmonly known as Little Hot Death." He laughed again, and Chef snickered. "He is pretty close already though. Think we should have made a diversion?"

Chef thought for a second, then simply shrugged. "More money for the future challenges."

"I like the way you think, Chef. I like the way you think."
