Chapter 19: Everything Is Explained
Vinny and Lorraine are at their house with the Shenks. Lorraine gets a phone call. "Hello? No she isn't over here. I haven't seen her since she left your house. All right me and Vinny will help you look for her." Lorraine said as she hung up her cell phone. "What is it?" Vinny asked her seeing she had a worried look on her face. "It's Sarah she's missing." Lorraine explained. "She'll turn up. She's probably at her frined's house." Vinny told her. "They called all her friends houses." Lorraine explained. "That must of been a short list of friends." Vinny replied. "Vinny I'm serious. She wasn't at their houses. And she's not answering her cell phone." Lorraine said with tears in her eyes. "We'll go look for her." Vinny told her. "Vinny you don't have to go look for Sarah. She's not your sister, she's Lorraines." Tina told him. "Excuse me?" Lorraine asked her with a dirty look on her face. "I know that she's not my sister but, she's still my family." Vinny told Tina. "Let the police handle it." Tina told them. "That's it I held my tongue long enough. You don't know the Bakers so you don't have any right to talk about them. When you spend a whole week or even three hours with them them you can say something. Otherwise shut your damn mouth!" Vinny told Tina. "Vinny calm down." Tina told him. "No! When someone says something bad about my family, I defend them and right now I have half a mind to throw you out of my house!" Vinny yelled. "Let's go Bill. I think were not welcomed here." Tina told her husband. "Bill and Dylan are welcomed here. Until you change your mind about the Bakers it's you who isn't welcomed here Tina." Vinny told her as her and Bill were leaving.
Vinny is looking for Sarah and finds her near the park on a bench. He goes over to her. "Oh great it's you." Sarah said as she saw him. "We need to talk about this." Vinny told her. "I'm not talking to you about anything." Sarah told him. "Then we'll sit here all night if we have to until we get things straight between us." Vinny told her. "You want to know why I hate you and not Bud?" Sarah asked him. "That would be nice." Vinny replied. "It's because Lorraine is my favorite sister even though we fought all the time. Then she moved to New York and I didn't see her as much as I did when she lived in Chicago. Then she met you and married you. It was like you took her from me. Nora was alot older than me and Bud wasn't a threat." Sarah told him. "You think I'm a threat?" Vinny asked her. "Vinny what you did at that dinner party and at Halloween that was great. I was amazed how a guy like you could think of pranks like that. I thought I spent too much time planning pranks on people." Sarah told him with a laugh. "I was threatened by you." Vinny told her. "You were?" Sarah asked him. "Oh yeah. You were much younger than me, had better knees than me and had experience pulling pranks on your sister's boyfriends." Vinny explained. "I was also upset with you because I thought you were trying to replace Charlie." Sarah explained. "I would never try to replace Charlie even though I am better looking then him and a better athlete but, that's beside the point. I was only trying to fit in. I was always the younger sibling. I never had someone younger then me to pick on. And that's where you guys come in. " Vinny told her. "You pick on me I'll beat you up." Sarah told him. "I would like to see you try." Vinny told her. "Hey, we're actually not yelling at each other." Sarah told him. "It feels weird doesn't it?" Vinny asked her. "It sucks." Sarah replied. "I know." Vinny told her as threy both started laughing.
