Chapter 3
Jason grabbed another bottle and chugged it down when he heard a knock at his apartment door. His deep voice boomed as he yelled, "Mom, are you going to get that? Mom!"
He looked at his watch; his mother wouldn't be home for another forty minutes. Groaning, he lifted himself up out of his bean bag chair and jogged to the door.
When he opened it, a woman and man were standing in front of him. The woman was short and dressed in a grey maid's uniform. Her long, straight, black hair with blonde highlights flowed over her thick framed glasses. The man had a bushy mustache and wore a grey jumper, sunglasses and a grey hat. They were each holding a broom, a mop, a spray bottle and some garbage bags.
The woman spoke with a thick Spanish accent. "Hola, I'm Lola and this is Juan, we are los housekeepers."
"Housekeepers? My mother's a housekeeper."
"Uh…well, your madre won a raffle. We are aqui to clean yo casa!"
Jason shook his head and let them in. Lola turned to him.
"Okay, you Chico, have to salir."
"What?"
"I can't work with you in la casa. Don't come back for una hora. Comprende?"
"Why can't I…"
"Go. Vamanos! Go!"
Lola shooed him out. Confused and a little creeped out, Jason grabbed his jacket and left.
When he closed the door, Raven turned to Eddie. "Okay, let's search his room," she said, looking around the apartment for Jason's room.
Eddie nodded and they quickly found Jason's room. Raven looked around the messy room and bent down to pick up a bottle. Examining it, she handed it to Eddie. "Unless there's a new root beer that starts with 'Bud,' I don't think this is a soda bottle."
Eddie shook his head. "You know, not only is he stupid, he's too young to be drinking these anyway. How does he get them?"
Raven sighed. "He's probably got a fake I.D."
Grabbing another bottle, Raven started for the door. Eddie followed, calling out to Raven. "Hey Rae wait, shouldn't we try to clean up a bit? I mean, we are 'los housekeepers.'"
Raven looked around the apartment. "Nah. It's pretty clean. Mrs. Miles is a housekeeper after all."
Eddie looked around. "I don't think Jason is really gonna notice anyway."
"Now we just have to tell Chelsea. She's going to be so hurt."
"But it's for the best Rae. I know Jason drives, what if he drinks and drives on their date?"
"We can't let that happen. She'll understand."
Suddenly, Raven's cell phone began to ring.
"Oh, it's Chels." Raven said, looking at the screen and answering the phone. "Hey Chels! We were just talking about you! Listen, I have…"
"Yes I would like one large pizza, extra cheese with peppers and mushrooms…"
"Chelsea!"
"Don't forget the onions and the pineapple!"
"Chelsea its Raven…peppers, onions and pineapple? Girl, that's just wrong."
"Raven? Oh, I'm sorry. I dialed the wrong number. I wanted Ray's Pizza Place. It's like right under yours on my phone. Unless you work there now."
"Whatever. Chelsea, I have something…"
"I'm sorry I can't talk right now. I still have the report to finish. Man, it's killing me! I gotta go. Oh, and remember the pineapple!"
"No Chelsea wait!"
The dial tone hummed in Raven's ear. She ended the call and sat down on the couch.
"What happened?"
"She won't listen Eddie."
"You know what, just go over there later and talk to her. I'll go with you."
Raven nodded and they headed out the door.
