Wizards of Waverly Place
I've got a secret
Part Nine: Day Nine
It was Sunday, October 10, 2010, and the Russo's were about to start their days. Everybody was still adjusting to their new life settings, but Alex and Mason were getting along just fine.
Justin was sitting at the table sipping coffee when Alex walked down the stairs. "Justin! What are you doing? Ray could come in here any second!"
"Ha, he never gets up before nine, it's only seven-thirty. I mean, I appreciate the concern, but I get the feeling that this is being manipulated to get me out of everybody's way." Said Justin.
"It is not!"
"And to get Juliet out of the way to."
"Okay, maybe it is. Where's Juliet?"
"In the shower. The only shower I've had in the past four days is splashing water on myself from the sink." Said Justin angrily.
"Uh, that must've been disturbing to watch." Said Alex disgustedly.
"Ya, I mean it was for me. Man, am I starving, all I had was some of that stupid bean juice. I mean, who can't use a coffee machine?"
"Ah! Ah!" Yelled Jerry as he banged the machine on the table. "I'm getting this coffee out of here if it kills me!"
"Ha, one less person in the house." Said Alex as she sipped some coffee.
"Justin! Ray could be in here any minute!" Yelled Jerry. "You'd better go back in the closet before he comes and kills you!"
"Dad, he knows." Said Alex.
"Oh."
"Jerry, what is Juliet doing out of the closet! And let alone in my shower! Doesn't she know that Ray could come in any minute with a knife and go all Psycho on her!" Yelled Theresa.
"Guys, we know that Ray always sleeps until nine every day, so it's no point in trying keep up held in that clos..." Started Justin.
"Stupid pantry!" Yelled Ray.
"Oh no! He's up!" Yelled Alex.
"Ah, ah!" Whined Theresa jumping up and down. "Jerry, what do we do?"
"Ah, ah, I don't know!" Yelled Jerry as he jumped up and down.
"Ah, ah!" Yelled Alex.
"You guys are nuts, Russo's don't panic like that." Said Justin.
"I'm comin' in!" Yelled Ray.
"Ah, ah!" Yelled Justin jumping up and down.
"What is happening!" Yelled Mason.
"Ray's coming!" Yelled Justin.
"And Juliet vacated the closet!" Yelled Jerry. "What if she never goes in, or Justin, ah ah!"
"Will you stop!" Yelled Mason. Everybody stopped jumping and panting. "Now, maybe if we solved problems quietly and logically, this family wouldn't get in stupid messes like this! Now, how long do you think we have before Ray comes out?"
"Well, probably about thirty seconds." Said Jerry. "I piled a ton of potatoes on his door, cause I don't want him in the house either."
"Okay, we need to get Juliet and Justin in the closet, quick!" Yelled Mason.
"I'll guard the door." Said Theresa.
"I'll get the coffee." Said Alex.
"I'll get the closet." Said Jerry.
"And I'll get Juliet." Said Mason.
"No way man, I'm gettin' Juliet!" Yelled Justin. "You get the tea and, strumpets, see ya." Said Justin as he ran up the stairs and fell down from about 2/3 of the way up.
"Ha, we got the mob working real well." Said Alex. "We got a new warehouse, everything, it's great. Making huge money off the membership fees."
"Membership!" Yelled Justin from upstairs.
"Ha, where's Kramer?" Asked Jerry.
"Beats me, sent him into the closet to get Max, and he never came back." Said Theresa.
"You sent him into the magical closet?" Asked Alex.
"Magical closet!" Yelled Jerry in surprise.
"Well, he has to learn some time." Said Mason putting a pack of tea into some water.
"Ra!" Yelled Ray as he busted the door open and knocked it and about forty bags of potatoes onto Theresa. "Some low life blockaded my door with potatoes! Must be an attempt to guard Justin Russo! When I find the person who did it, I'll kill them to!"
"Well, it was his girlfriend, Juliet!" Yelled Theresa from under the door and potatoes.
"Ya, here's her picture." Said Alex.
"Wow, she's beautiful." Said Ray looking at the picture.
"Tell me about it." Said Mason working on the tea.
"It will be a pleasure killing her!" Yelled Ray.
"Uh, ha!" Yelled Justin and Juliet as they began to come down stairs, say Ray and ran back up.
"What was that!" Yelled Ray.
"Uh, that was Mason, he always messes up on the simplest tasks such as making tea." Said Jerry. Mason turned around with a look of confusion of his face.
"Hu, hard to get good slaves this day." Said Ray sipping his tea. "I've gone through over fifteen slaves before I found a quality one to clean my toilets."
"I know, and the way they leave a coat of dust on everything!" Yelled Jerry.
"I know!" Yelled Ray laughing.
"What are you doing!" Yelled Theresa.
"So, Mr. Ray, have you gotten any leads on that pig Justin Russo?" Asked Alex. "That filthy low life sow deserves the biggest, fastest bullet delivered to the most sensitive part of his face leading right into his brain!"
"You said he was your brother." Said Ray.
"He is no brother of mine." Said Alex with an angry look on her face.
"Oh, kay." Said Ray.
"Well, I'd better get to that, place, with the, by Ray." Said Theresa as she ran away.
"Come back!" Yelled Jerry as he ran after her.
"Well, I'm gonna call the police to help me find that Justin Russo. With the entire New York department, he'll be in his grave by the end of this week." Said Ray as he slammed his cup on the table and left.
"Am I just your slave now?" Asked Mason angrily.
"Please Mason, once we have those lessons they'll all be our slaves. Just wait it out, and then enjoy it." Said Alex as she drank the coffee.
In the closet, Theresa was already painting the city when Jerry ran past the trees to her. "Theresa, what is this? There's this whole other world in my closet, and everybody knew it but me?"
"Well, we were gonna tell you, once we found Max." Said Theresa.
"What? Max is lost in here? For how long?"
"I don't know, nine days."
"Well, who's gonna find him?
"I sent Kramer to find him, but I haven't heard from him since he left, so I don't know."
"Oh, what are you doing?"
"Painting this dark city, it's pretty much my thing now. So ha!" Yelled Theresa.
"Oh, I'm gonna find Kramer, then I want this closet shut down to everybody but me!" Yelled Jerry.
"After I paint it right?" Asked Theresa.
"Well I'm not gonna paint it, and I'm not sure, since it's a magic closet, if it's gonna paint itself."
"Good, by." Said Theresa.
"Eh." Said Jerry as he left.
At the house, Justin and Juliet were sitting in the closet and talking seriously. "Man, now we can't even leave the house because the police are after us. This whole thing is going down the drain. All because I was late for some stupid meeting." Said Justin in a mad voice.
"Ha, if your mom never blockaded that closet with potatoes I wouldn't be stuck in here with you. I get the impression that your family is using this to keep us away from them." Said Juliet.
"How can I not be liked?" Asked Justin. "I'm so smart, I'm a natural at magic, I know everything about people and life, and I tell all my family all the time how much I know, and I know that people like to hear about my achievements, and that's one of the things I tell them I know!"
"Ya, you've got it all figured out." Said Juliet sarcastically. "You know, we have nothing to lose for saving our own lives. We can do pretty much anything to get ourselves out of this mess, and end up better than dead. What do you say?" Asked Juliet.
"Ya, I usually don't go against the rules, but this time, it's personal." Said Justin. "What did you have in mind?"
"Well, here it is." Said Juliet as she began to whisper.
At the warehouse that night, Alex was standing at the podium with Mason in a room of nearly seventy people. "Okay, we've made almost three thousand dollars from these chumps, and we are half way to those lessons. Now, let's get them out of here."
"Attention!" Yelled Mason. "Anybody you know can be a useful addition to our mob, so I want you to go out now, and recruit them. And tell them all to bring their check books, because nobody gets in for free, not in this mob!" Yelled Mason.
"Ya!" Yelled everybody.
"Ya." Said Alex, eating chips.
In the closet, Justin and Juliet had been working their plan out for days, and were ready to set it into motion. "Ya, this plan is perfect. That man will be off our backs faster than he can say bludgeoned!" Said Juliet.
"Ya, and those will be the last words that he won't be able to finish, because we'll have killed him before he even realizes it!" Yelled Justin. "Juliet, we made this plan, us, together, and we are putting our lives back together, with each other." Said Justin as they closed their eyes and held each other's hands.
What is Justin and Juliet's plan to get rid of Ray, and will it work? How will Alex and Mason handle the large mob as it gets larger? Will Kramer find Max? Will Jerry find Kramer? Will Theresa finish painting the town, or will it really paint itself? 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."
