Chapter 6: Exposed
Bill goes up to Jimmy. "Uncle Jimmy is that band still playing tomorrow?" Bill asked him. "Yes." Jimmy replied. "What was the name of that band again?" Bill asked him. "Vinny's old band I think they were called The FBI." Jimmy told him. "Is Vinny going to be there tomorrow?" Jimmy asked him. "I don't see why not." Jimmy said to him. "The Bakers also?" Bill then asked him. "Of course." Jimmy said to him. "Thanks Uncle Jimmy." Bill said to him as he went upstairs.
Jake, Elliot and Sarah hear this. "We should tell Vinny." Jake said to them. "Bill is going to expose Vinny at that concert tomorrow afternoon." Elliot said. "I don't like Vinny and all but, this is wrong." Sarah said to them. "Let's go tell him." Jake said to them. Bill overhears them. "If you tell Vinny about tomorrow and he doesn't show up. It will be even better because then it's like he knew about this the whole time. And you're just making my job easier." Bill said to them with a snister smile on his face. "Why are you doing this to him?" Elliot asked him. "To expose him to his wife and their family." Bill told Elliot. "Me, Jake and Mike already know about Vinny being in a band." Sarah said to him. "Then you guys are going to be in trouble also for not telling anyone. Especially your sister Lorraine." Bill said to them as he walked away. "Your cousin is a real jerk." Jake said to Elliot. "Now, I know why Vinny hates him so much." Sarah then said. "Bill really is all the things that Vinny said he was. And Vinny came over and apologized to him." Elliot told them. "We're going to tell him." Jake said to Sarah. "What if we do and he doesn't show up?" Sarah asked him. "Vinny will show up. Trust me." Jake told her.
Jake and Sarah tell Vinny what Bill has in store for him. "I can't believe he's doing this." Vinny said to them. "What are you going to do?" Sarah asked him. "I'm going to go back to Chicago." Vinny said to them. "You're going to run away from this?" Jake asked him. "No. I'm going to get my guitar and fight back." Vinny told them. "Your guitar?" They asked him at the same time. "The band FBI is a tribute band to AC/DC and Lynrd Skynrd. I sang the AC/DC songs and Mark Giovanni sang the Lynrd Skynrd songs. I played the guitar to the Skynrd songs and Mark played the guitar on the AC/DC songs." Vinny explained. "That's why when you two switched bodies, Sarah could play Sweet Home Alabama on the guitar?" Jake then asked him. "Exactlly." Vinny told them.
Vinny goes back to Chicago to get his guitar and everyone is wondering where he is the next day. "I guess Vinny chickened out." Bill said to Jake and Sarah. "He'll be here." Jake said to him. "He's got ten minutes before the band goes on the stage." Bill told them. "By the way I told his old friend Mark Giovanni that he's here. So, don't act too surprised when he calls Vinny's name." Bill told them laughing. "Is Vinny here yet?" Elliot asked them. "Not yet." Sarah said to him. "He better get here soon." Jake told them. "Too late." Sarah told them as Mark Giovanni walked onto the stage.
Mark Giovanni walked onto the stage to introduce the band and Vinny. "We have a real treat for you people today. As you know we started this band in high school. Me on the guitar and singing, James Macelli on the drums, Peter Cavalli on the bass and keyboards, Justine Tortelli on the other guitar and one more man that left the band to do better things." Mark told them. Jake, Sarah and Elliot look at each other and see if Vinny has arrived yet. "That man is here today, this man is my best friend and our lead singer. His name is Vinny DiMiranda!" Mark told the crowd.
The Bakers are all shocked to hear this. Lorraine looks pissed. Bill is laughing at this because Vinny still hasn't showed up yet. Jake, Sarah and Elliot sink in their seats. "Did you guys know about this?" Lorraine asked them. "Maybe." Sarah answered. "You knew he was in a band?" Tom then asked them. "I'll be leaving now." Elliot said to Jake and Sarah as he walked away. "Uh.." Jake replied. "I'll take that as a yes." Tom said to them. "Then you guys know where he is?" Lorraine then asked them. "Again maybe." Sarah told her. "You want to be grounded for the next two months?" Tom asked them. "He went back to Chicago last night." Jake told them. "To do what?" Lorraine asked them. "Get his guitar and show up Bill Murtaugh." Sarah said to them. "Bill Murtaugh had nothing to do with this." Lorraine said to them. "Lorraine he set Vinny up." Jake said to her. "How do you think that guy knew that Vinny was here?" Sarah asked her. "Bill wouldn't do that to Vinny." Mike said to them. "Well he did Mike. Go ask Elliot." Jake then said to him.
"Is there a Vinny DiMiranda out there?" Mark asked the crowd. Everyone is looking for Vinny who still hasn't showed up yet.
