Wizards of Waverly Place

I've got a secret

Part Six: Day Six

It was Thursday, October 7, 2010. Theresa, Juliet and Justin were still in Jerry's closet when Alex walked down to breakfast, and Mason came in the door way to meet her. Jerry was also absent.

"Ha Mason!" Said Alex as she took a bagel."

"Hello Alex. Where's Justin, he called an emergency mob meeting this morning."

"Don't know, he must've gone into the closet to find Max. My mom never came down last night, so she must be dead."

"What could be in your dad's closet that's so dangerous it could hold and possibly kill a grown woman and a teenage boy?"

"Beats me. Maybe it's magical closet made from the wood of some tree from a magical world, and the closet is a port key into that world. That must be where Max, mom, Justin and Juliet are now. So I guess the meeting's cancelled."

"Ah, I was all geared up to start my mob life this morning. I even brought my father's lucky pocket knife." Said Mason pulling out the knife.

Jerry then walked in the house, shaking. "Hu hu, hu! Oh, hi, Alex, Justin."

"Dad, this is Mason. Justin went, somewhere you don't know about." Said Alex.

"Magic closet?"

"What!" Yelled the two in unison.

"Na I was kidding. Oh Alex, I'm in a real fix now. These mobsters are going to take the heads of me and Kramer's best friends if we don't call of the game."

"So that would be Kramer and the real Jerry's heads right?" Retorted Alex.

"That's right. But if we don't have that card game, then we'll never win Elaine's necklace back. I've never met her, but I would like to. She is the cause for me expounding all this effort. More than I've done in my whole life."

"This is like an episode of Seinfeld." Stated Mason.

"What's that?" Asked Alex.

"I'm not sure anymore." Said Mason confused.

"Alex, what do I do? I mean, either we don't get that necklace back, or we lose our best friends heads. Help me Alex! Then if you give me something stupid I'll ask Jus-Mason! Know what I'm just gonna call you Justin 'till he gets back." Said Jerry.

"It would be an honor Mr. Russo." Said Mason.

"Dad, just forget this whole stupid situation. I mean, you're working with somebody you didn't know before six days ago, to get a necklace back from people you have know relative idea of who they are, for somebody you've never, and will never meet, all because you happen to have the same name as this guys friend. How important is it?" Asked Alex.

"It isn't about the necklace or the people, it's about the purpose. Before I met this man my life had no meaning, but now I have a reason to go on. This necklace will only be returned with my assistance in the operation. Without my role in this task, I'm no better than your mother, spiraling at thousands of miles an hour on this blue planet with no idea of where I'm going, but not now. I know what I must do, thank you Alex. Here's thirty dollars."

"Thanks dad, need any more advice on your path of life, just come to me. For the right price I can lead you down this rigid road until your grave."

"Thanks Alex, that's very assuring. Now if you'll excuse me I have a game to call back on!" Yelled Jerry as he ran out the door.

"Wow Alex, that was a nice thing you did for your father. You're really becoming a passionate, caring person." Said Mason.

"Ya, 'sides if he dies I'll be the only person in this house. Come on, let's catch the good mob water before it becomes all brown and gross."

"Right behind you." Said Mason picking up his uniform and heading for the exit.

Inside the magical closet, Theresa was walking in the deep woods of the snowy forest. "Wow, this is some closet Jerry has. I can see how Max got lost in here. But where could he be? There must be miles of trees and snow here. If only Justin and Juliet were here to. Not Alex, she's useless. Hu."

Still in the open grassland of the forest, Justin and Juliet were walking in the snowy earth, shocked by this world within a closet. "Wow, this really is a magic closet. There could be a whole other world in here. With a whole other race of humans, just like us. Ha, maybe there are certain people who are werewolves and vampires like us. Hu, there are people exactly like us, a parallel universe Justin and Juliet. We could meet up with them, and pretend to be our counterpart, and go on a date with them to see how much we have in common." Said Juliet.

"Ha, what if there was a snow storm, and the snow got in dad's closet, then his clothes would get all wet. Oh, he'd regret ever investing in this magic closet in the first place. Wow, look at all this space. It could be plowed and you could use it for storage. Maybe I'll buy a magic closet." Said Justin.

"Justin, what if your mother's not dead, but she's somewhere in this massive world." Suggested Juliet.

"You mean, she might live? I might not be an orphan?"

"Orphan? What about your dad?"

"I'd rather not think of him. It's because of him that we're in this awful world. Ha, maybe my mom is in that forest of trees. Let's go in and see."

"No, a forest. There could be a lion or a bear in there just waiting to kill us."

"Ha, I'm sure dad inspected this place before he bought it. He wouldn't get a place with lions or bear in it."

"Justin, I don't think your dad knew this closet was magic when he bought it."

"Oh, you might be right, but probably not, besides, if we do come upon a bear, we're magically inclined, we'll just zap them to nothing, 'less they look like Mick Jagger."

"What are you saying..."

"Oh no, I called an emergency mob meeting this morning. Mason and Alex are probably worried sick about me." Said Justin in a worried voice.

At the school, Alex and Mason were vigorously mopping the hall as others walked by slipping and falling on the ground. "Wow, think of how life will be when we have those archery lessons. I mean, we can shoot out tires, we can enter archery world tournaments, make millions of dollars, star in a sequel to that horrible Robin Hood movie. We'll be so rich, then we can afford more archery lessons." Said Alex.

"Yes, and it's all thanks to Mr. Laritate giving us these janitor jobs. I wonder where the old janitor is now?"

"Probably at home living off unemployment from the government." Said Alex.

"Off our hard earned money."

"Phh." Said Alex as she continued to mop.

At Kramer's apartment, Kramer was pacing back and forth across his apartment when Jerry walked in. "Jerry! I'm so happy to see you!"

"Kramer, the game is back on tomorrow! We are getting that necklace if it's the last thing we do!" Yelled Jerry as he banged his fist on the table.

"It might be. Okay, see ya tomorrow."

"Yep, see ya." Said Jerry as he left. The door opened again and it was him. "Ha, I've always wanted to meet your friend, the one with the same name as me, uh..."

"Jerry."

"That's it, and since we're probably going to die tomorrow."

"Say no more, I'll call him and have him come over right before the game tomorrow." Said Kramer.

"Thanks, ha where does he live?"

"Right next door." Said Kramer as he pointed at the apartment right across from his.

"Hu, can't wait to see him."

"You'll love him, he's a comedian." Said Kramer.

"Is he funny?"

"No."

"Forget it." Said Jerry as he left.

That night at the house, nobody was home, and there was a knock at the door. It opened, and in walked Ray Liotta, and the laugh track cheered. "What was that!" He yelled as he fired off his gun at every point in the house. "Where is that guy? He said to meet him at seven, it's almost nine o'clock. I hate when people show up late. When he comes I'm going to kill him! Ya."

Alex then walked in the door. "Ha, you're Ray Liotta."

"Ya, are you Justin Russo?" Demanded Ray as he pointed the gun at Alex.

"No, I'm his sister. What are you doing here?"

"Your brother invited me here at seven to join his mob, and see how late it is? Oh I've never been so mad!"

"Wait, you actually agreed to join Justin's mob? You?"

"Ya, I heard this movie is the worst in the world, and I would never stand by and let a bad movie be made, it's just not me!"

"Ya, sure, ya know I loved you in Goodfellas." Said Alex.

"Everybody did, 'less they got mental conditions." Mason then entered. "Ha! Are you Justin Russo!" Demanded Ray as he pulled out his gun and shot four shots past Mason.

"I'm not Justin Russo, Mr. Liotta, I'm Alex's boyfriend, Mason. I as well am in his mob. He is rather late for his meeting."

"Ya!"

"Oh Mr. Liotta, please forgive Justin, I mean he's a nice person, a..." Started Alex.

"I don't care! When he comes here, I'm gonna kill him!" Yelled Ray.

Alex and Mason both stared at each other with scared expressions.

Is Juliet right and Theresa is still alive? If she is will Justin and Juliet find her in the woods? Will Theresa find the courthouse, and if so will she find Max? Will Jerry and Kramer win the necklace tomorrow? If they do will they get killed by the mob? Will Alex and Mason convince Ray, and if they can't what will happen to Justin and the mob? You'll find out if you read the other 363 days in the year in the life of the Russo's, "I've got a secret."
