=**Much Ado About Nothing**=

Day by day in Tampa, Florida Don John watched his brother Claudio grow more in love with Hero. Claudio always had everything Don John ever wanted. Claudio had better grades than him, his soul mate, and soon Restaurant 326. Claudio was skinny, tall, and had brown hair and blue eyes. The current owner of the restaurant was very sick with cancer. Soon she would die and since Claudio is her favorite she would pass it onto him. Soon Claudio would be drooling in cash from all the money the restaurant would make. Claudio had everything Don John ever wanted, but this time Don John was going to make sure that he didn't have the restaurant.

The restaurant owner, Lina, was on the breaking point of dieing, it was any day now. Don John, the restaurant chef, had spent days thinking of a plan to make sure Claudio wouldn't get the restaurant. Don John knew it was either killing his brother or sabotaging him. Don John was not capable of killing his brother, but he was of sabotage. A few hours later while Don John was cooking his famous filet with mashed potatoes and grilled campfire vegetables he thought of a plan. Don John's plan was clever, but he would need help from someone if he planned to proceed with the plan.

That evening Don John called in his best friend who also worked for the restaurant as a waiter, Borachio. The plan was to have Borachio put on Claudio's restaurant manager clothes and break into the restaurant. Don John couldn't break in because he was small, fat and had blonde hair. Borachio had brown hair, was tall and skinny so he could easily be mistaken for Claudio. Once Borachio was in the restaurant dressed like Claudio he would steal some of the money and trash some of the place making sure to only cause minor damage. The restaurant owner will see the video and see who she will think is Claudio. The owner will than change her will where it says the restaurant will go to Claudio. Both men thought long and hard on the plan to make sure that it will turn out the way they intend to and nothing will go wrong. As Borachio thought about the plan he asked Don John, "What's in it for me"? Don John replied, "I will make you my assistant with a higher pay". Borachio was satisfied.

After both men were positive that they wanted to continue with the plan, they were ready. They told all the workers that they would clean up that night and they would have everything under control. As soon as all the workers left they cleaned, didn't turn the alarm on knowing the police would come when they proceeded with their plan because it would go off, and locked up the restaurant. Don John gave Borachio the clothes he took from Claudio's closet when he was on his lunch break. Borachio quickly got dressed and took his hammer which he would use to break through the window.

Once Borachio was inside he started trashing the place just a little bit, and stole a little bit of money. Ten minutes passed before Borachio returned having made sure that Claudio's clothes were caught on the video camera, but not his face. The men went home planning to come back in the morning. The next day, both of them knew no one would be at the restaurant the next morning since it wasn't open in the morning.

The next morning Don John and Borachio arrived. They walked into the restaurant acting shocked and scared knowing the video cameras were on. Don John went back to where the video cameras had the recording tapes and watched what happened. Don John took the CD so he could show it to the Lina, and then left with Borachio.

Once they arrived at the hospital, they requested to see the owner, Lina immediately. The nurse said they could see her in five minutes due to the fact that she was eating breakfast. After five minutes Lina was ready to see them. "How are you"? Lina said as both men walked through the door. "Hi Lina". "So what brings you two here today"? "Well actually Lina we have some very important bad news to share with you". "Yes", Lina said. "We went inside the restaurant this morning to start getting it ready for tonight's service, and some of the money was gone and the window was shattered. Somebody broke in. I went to the tape room to watch what happened and Claudio appeared in it. The tape does not show his face, but it shows his clothes. Look Lina I'll show you". Don John quickly popped the disk into the computer while Borachio feared they'd get caught.

Lina watched the video. After the video was finished Lina was shocked. "I don't understand I was going to give him the restaurant once I passed away. Why would he ruin his chance"? Lina believed the tape, but was still confused on why he would do such a thing.

"Tell Claudio he's fired". "As you wish Lina". "Don John"? "Yes Lina"? "You will get the restaurant instead of Claudio". Later the day back at the restaurant Claudio arrived ready to work. "Claudio, may I speak to you in private". "Of course, brother". "You’re fired". "What"? "Lina told me to tell you that you’re fired". "Why? I have done no wrong". "I don't know why she fired you; I just know that she did. You must leave immediately". "Fine, but I will be discussing this with Lina". Claudio left with a confused expression.

Don John grabbed Borachio's arm and took him to the back. "What in the world are you doing Don John"? "Claudio". "Yes what about Claudio". "I fired him and he said he was going to speak with Lina". "What"? "I know. If he talks to Lina she'll find out that we lied and Claudio will get the restaurant and we'll be fired. We have to do something. There's only one thing left to do - kill Lina". Borachio was out-raged, shocked, but Don John persuaded him. He has everything. "Claudio has a girl, and he has always been everyone's favorite". "I can see why", Borachio smirked. "Oh shut up". Don John continued and soon he will have the restaurant."We must do this immediately before it’s too late. Do you want to stay a waiter forever or do you want to be higher as my assistant and get a higher pay"?

It was too late. By the time they got to the hospital Claudio had already told Lina his side of the story. Luckily Lina didn't change her will yet. Don John and Borachio tried to make a run for it, but the police caught them. In the end Claudio got married to Hero and became the owner of the restaurant due to Lina's death. Don John and Borachio are still locked up in prison for what they did.
