Chapter 10: Photographs
Vinny and Sarah come back to the Lake Club and everyone is starring at them. "Just act casual." Vinny told Sarah. "What did you two do?" Tom asked them. "So much for acting casual." Sarah said to Vinny. "Deny everything." Vinny then said to her. "We didn't do anything Tom." Vinny then told him. "Then where were you two?" Jimmy then asked them. "We were around here in the Club." Sarah told him. "We looked everywhere for you two and we didn't see you in there." Jimmy then told them. "Jimmy why do you guys think we had anything to do with what happened tonight?" Vinny asked him. "Because I know you Vinny. You are always getting into trouble whenever my nephew Bill is around. Where is Bill anyway?" Jimmy then said to them.
Bill comes out of nowhere with a rope around his ankle. "You two!" Bill yelled pointing to Sarah and Vinny. "What did you guys do to him?" Tom asked them. "Dad we didn't do anything to him." Sarah said to Tom. "Liar!" Bill yelled. "Dude, they were here with us the whole time." Jake told him. "Yeah, Bill. It couldn't of been them." Elliot then said to Bill. "I saw them. They hung me upside down from a tree." Bill told them. "Bill, if I wanted to do something to you I won't hang you upside down from a tree. That's not my style." Vinny told him. "And hanging people upside down from a tree is so last year." Sarah said to him. "Uncle Jimmy I swear it was these two that hung me upside down." Bill told Jimmy. "Well, Bill you're the only who believes that these two did anything." Jimmy told him. "That's right Bill. You have no proof." Vinny said to him. "I saw you two." Bill said to him. "That blood must of really rusted to your head because me and Sarah were nowhere near you." Vinny told him as he walked away from Bill. Bill has an idea how to get back at both of them. He starts by planning a way to get back at Sarah.
"Dude I can't believe you hung himupside from a tree." Jake said to Vinny laughing. "The tree part was Sarah's idea. The fireworks were mine." Vinny told him. "You two made a pretty good team." Elliot said to them. "It's becuase I'm spiteful and Sarah's just plain evil." Vinny told them. "You're as evil as I am." Sarah then said to him. "I guess I am." Vinny told them. Jake stops dead in his tracks. "What?" Vinny asked him. "It's just weird you and Sarah not arguing. It's like we're in another universe." Jake told them. "We're tired of arguing. That's getting old." Vinny told him. "I'm not tired of it. We just had a commen enemy that we both wanted to get back." Sarah told him. "Why did you want to get Bill back?" Vinny asked her. "He made fun of you. I'm the only one allowed to do that." Sarah said to him. "You do care." Vinny said to her. "Don't tell anyone." Sarah said to him. "I heard that." Jake told her. "Why is it that anytime something happens with me you two are always around?" Vinny asked them. "I haven't figured that part out yet." Jake said to him. "What about you?" Vinny asked Sarah. "Just happens that way." Sarah told him.
"Where's Mike?" Vinny asked them. "I don't know. Why?" Sarah then said to him. "Because usually he's hanging around with you two." Vinny said to them. "He's probably back at the cabin. He thinks Bill is a nice guy." Jake said to them. "I hate to see the look on that kids face when he finds out the truth about Bill." Vinny said to them. Vinny takes Sarah and Jake back to their cabin and then drives Elliot back to the Boulders.
Vinny goes back to his cabin. He walks in. "Hey Vinny." Lorraine said to him. "You're not mad at me anymore?" Vinny asked her. "I can't stay mad at you. You might be a goofball but, you're my goofball." Lorraine said to him. "Can you believe that Bill guy tonight?" Vinny then said to her. "I know. How dare he accuse you and Sarah the two pranksters of pulling a prank on him." Lorraine said to him sarcastically. " What gave us up?" Vinny asked her. "Let's see you and Sarah not arguing the whole time we're here, you not trying to convince Mike that Bill isn't a nice guy, and Jake trying to convince me to forgive you." Lorraine said to him. "What's so weird about Jake asking you to forgive me?" Vinny then asked her. "You're the one who always does that. You try to butter me up with something and then you use that wacky charm of yours and I can't stay mad at you because I'm laughing too hard." Lorraine told him with a smile. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about me being in band in high school." Vinny said to her. "I forgive you." Lorraine told him. "Thanks baby." Vinny said to her. "Me and you have to go to Houston next month so Nora and Bud can see Danny and Kate. And I also want to see my Godson." Lorraine told him. "Houston in August? You know how hot it's going to be? It's going to be pretty damn hot in Houston." Vinny told her. "That's another twenty bucks in the swear jar." Lorraine told him. "I can't believe this. My wife wants me to die of heat stroke." Vinny said to her putting twenty bucks into the swear jar. "Stop being such a grouch. Help me put Danny and Kate to bed." Lorraine said to him as she picked up Kate. "Yes dear." Vinny replied picking up Danny who was asleep. They put Danny and Kate to bed.
Bill is in Elliot's room and is looking for the pictures Elliot brought with him of his classtrip to the Poconos. (Elliot is downstairs watching TV.) "Found them." Bill said as he saw the pictures of Elliot and his girlfriend Tammy. Bill takes them and puts them in an envelope labeled with Sarah's name on it. He drives to the Bakers cabin and tapes the envelope to the front door and leaves.
