Chapter 42: Live To Tell

"Wow," Jenny exclaimed. She held the large wooden frame as if it were a delicate crystal vase. She handled it with the utmost care as if it would break with the tiniest slip up. "I forgot about this." Jenny caressed her fingers on the glass. Inside there was a picture of Jenny, Jimmy and Spinner in the middle all three smiling on the beach. It was a reminder of happier times. "Where did you find it?"

"It was on top of the bookshelf." Jimmy glanced at the large oak bookshelf in the far left corner of the room. "I accidentally bumped into it and it came tumbling down. Almost hit me on head too and would've if I didn't move back, it fell into my lap and if I had feeling in my legs it might've hurt. Can you believe it?" Jimmy lightly chuckled. "Even when he's not around he still manages to find a way to cause some type of minor damage to me."

"Who?" Jenny asked before taking a moment to realize who Jimmy was talking about. "You don't mean?"

"Yeah," Jimmy interrupted quickly. Just thinking of his name made him want to squirm and hearing it from anyone lips these days made him want to scream.

""Jimmy what exactly did Spi-"

"Please Jenny, don't say his name."

"Okay," Jenny replied but her silence only lasted for a second. "But I still don't understand why we can't say his name." Jenny chuckled. "You sound like those guys in that Harry Potter book when someone says Voldormort, you make it sound like he killed someone."

"He might as well," Jimmy mumbled.

"What are you talking about," Jenny asked. "Jimmy, what's going on with you two? I know you guys always fight but you always manage to make up-"

"Let's just go downstairs" Jimmy angrily interrupted.

And if Jenny's frustration and curiosity wasn't affecting her Jimmy's reaction would've made her change the topic but she wanted to know what was going on. Why was Jimmy acting so weird, so angry? He made it seem as if Spinner had put him in the wheelchair. "Oh no." Jenny thought. "Spinner wouldn't"

And if Jimmy was reading Jenny's thoughts he responded. "Yeah, Spinner help put me in this chair."

"What," Jenny replied. "No he didn't." She said defensively. "That guy did it, that Rick guy, it was on the news for weeks. Jimmy you're not making sense."

"I am," Jimmy yelled. "Just listen and I'll tell you the whole story."

"Yeah, here I am." Spinner said rather lamely.

"I've been looking for you every where." A tall lanky guy in a penguin suit complete with a black bow tie replied.

"Here I am." Spinner said. "I just have no idea what you want with me." Spinner mumbled to himself.

"Oh, your late-" The guy glanced at a clipboard he was holding, "-Julio."

"What," Spinner exclaimed.

"Oh," The guy in the penguin suit glanced at the clipboard. "I plum forgot. You can't speak English."

"What?"

"Oh great," The guy in the penguin suit rolled his eyes. "I'm not good at this but I know a few words. Hola mi llamo es Jason. Seré su jefe para esta noche. Es un placer satisfacerle." The guy smiled and shook Spinner hand before continuing. "Ahora aquí está una bandeja." The guy handed Spinner a tray of food, which he hesitantly took, before rambling on. "Cerciórese de servir cada uno y una vez que su final usted pueda asir otro de esa tabla, grazias."

Spinner stared at the tray of food and then looked up at the guy in the penguin suit which he figured out his name must be Jason from his rudimentary deciphering of Spanish from classes he took in the sixth grade.

"What are you doing." Jason said. "Oh, you probably didn't understand a word. This is just great." Jason looked around the kitchen before he noticed another waiter in a similar outfit as Julio's putting an empty tray into the sink. "Hey you," Jason exclaimed.

"Yeah," the guy exclaimed.

"You know Spanish." Jason picked up his tray and nervously skimmed through the list.

"My name's Luke, it says so on my name tag." Luke flicked his name tag.

"Oh, right." Jason mumbled. "Luke, your from Spain."

"I'm from Portugal." Luke replied.

"Same thing," Jason said nonchalantly. "That guy over there-" Jason skimmed through his clipboard. "-Julio. We'll he can't understand English so tell him to go serve everyone okay, chop-chop." Jason clapped.

"I'm Portuguese, oh forget it." Luke said. He hesitantly walked over to Spinner who was nibbling on some of the hors'douvres. "Hey you." Luke exclaimed.

"Uh, Yeah." Spinner nervously replied.

"Could you serve the guest the food on the tray instead of eating it."

"Yeah, of course I can." Spinner put one of the hors'douvres down. "Why didn't he just say so." Spinner gestured to Jason before leaving the room.

"Now was that so hard." Luke replied to Jason who had a surprised expression on his face. He picked up a new tray and followed Spinner.

"I thought he spoke." Jason mumbled. "Oh forget it." Jason screamed at two guys across the room. "Thomas. Patrick. Pick up that buffet table outside what was Jenny thinking putting that out here this is a party not a hoe down."
