Chapter 4.
Jill looked up at her sister and as their eyes met, they begun to giggle.
"I know, stop laughing." Andrea sighed, sitting by the same breakfast table as the sisters and John.
"What did you do last night?" John smiled.
"I danced with Piquet."
"You did what?"
"He asked me up and we danced."
"Are they laughing at that?"
"No, Jill acutally danced with him too, but they are laughing at the memory of me spilling wine on him." Andrea said, cheeks turning red.
John smiled.
"Good job Andie."
"Don't call me Andie."
John smiled and sipped his coffee in the same time as Jill put her head down towards the table, putting her hands over the head and moaning.
"Ooow, my head."
"How much did you drink last night?" John smiled.
"Just a bottle or two…" Jill smiled.
"By yourself?" John laughed.
"No, Kris and I shared." Jill smiled, as she took up her head and met John's face.
"But you did have fun last night?"
"Oh, yes." All the women answered united.
John laughed once more.
"When do you leave for Venice?"
"About two hours." Kris answered.
"Oh, so soon?"
Kris nodded, in the same time as Jill's forehead made contact with the table again, and when Kris and John began laughing she let out a loud moan.
A few hours later, the girls had said goodbye to the gang, and jumped on the train. Mike and Jess had taken them back to Rimini, and was now waving them off at the train station. Jill and Kris sat down in a booth in the train, and when they left the station, they pulled up maps and tourist books.
A couple of hours later, they went of the train into Venice Train Station. From there they moved on to the `water-busses´, so called vaporettis, and made their way to their hotel, which were located close to Saint Marcus Square. They were giggling and teasing each other as they walked into the hotel.
"Hello, welcome." The man behind the desk greeted them as they came in.
"Hello. We have room reservations in the name of Munroe." Jill smiled.
"Yes, here we are." The man said as he looked through his books. "Here. Here's your key. Elevator is over there. Breakfast is served between 6 and 10 am."
"Great." The sisters smiled and made their way upstairs to their room.
Jill unlocked the door and peaked in.
"Kris, we've got two beds!"
"Yes!" Kris said happily and moved past Jill, inside the room, and tossed her bag at one of the beds.
Jill smiled too and tossed her bag up on the other bed, and then walked over to the phone.
"Are you calling Kelly?"
"Yes, and she's gonna get mad, we never called yesterday." Jill smiled, and then told the operator in the phone to transfer her to Los Angeles.
A long wait later, Jill heard Ella's voice in the other end of the phone.
"Yes?"
"Hi Ella!"
"Aunt Jill! Are you it Italy now?"
"Yes, we are. How are you doing girl?"
"I'm fine. You were supposed to call yesterday, we've been really worried!"
"I'm sorry Ella, I'm sorry, we forgot to call yesterday. Do you have mommy there?"
"Yeah, she's standing next to me tapping her foot." Ella said, and Jill smiled.
"Can I talk with her?"
"Of course! Bye Aunt Jill! Say hi to Aunt Kris from me!"
"I promise. Bye Ellie."
Jill heard the phone being switched, and seconds later she heard Kelly on the other end.
"Hi, Jill?"
"Hi Kelly!"
"Why haven't you called before? I was worried!"
"I'm sorry, we didn't want to call during the morning since we're so much ahead of time, and then there was partying all night and we just forgot about it."
"Well, I'll might forgive you if you buy me something." Kelly said with a chuckle in the other end. "So how did it go last night? I saw your interview but then Charlie called and forced us to work."
"John came in third place." Jill said happily.
"That's great!"
"Yeah, really! He got the last points he needed to be able to qualify to…"
"Jill."
"What?"
"No statistical talk, okay?"
"Sorry Kelly." Jill smiled. "So how's everything back home?"
"Just as normal, Bosley's nagging about time being money and Julie and I are doing paperwork. Nothing unusual. But where are you now?"
"Paperwork? Charlie doesn't have a case for you? We're in Venice now, we just got here."
"No, we don't have a case, but Charlie was talking about some old lady with some money problem, I don't know. But no work talk Jill! How's Venice?"
"It's beautiful Kelly! But we just got here, we haven't been able to see much of it, just the train station and the Grand Canal."
"Is it as grand as it's name is?"
"Well… It's not small, but everything's relative, right?"
"Right! So, how's Kris doing?"
"You wanna talk to her yourself?"
"Sure!"
"I'll talk to you later. Take care!"
Jill smiled and turned towards Kris.
"Krissy, Kelly wants a word with you."
Kris smiled and jumped over to Jill and took the phone from her.
"Hi Kelly!"
"Hi, how you doing kiddo?"
"I'm fine! Hungry, Jill is stealing food from my plates all the time."
"I remember when we were in the academy, Sabrina and I always took extra much food so Jill could snatch from us and we still didn't need to go and get more." Kelly said, and shared a laugh with Kris.
"That sounds like my sister."
Kris could really hear Kelly smile in the other end, before she heard Ella's voice.
"Mum, the food is all black…"
"Oh! Oh, Kris, I have to go, I have food in the oven. I'll speak to you later, okay? Take good care of Jill and yourself now, and have a good time in Italy!"
"We will, you say hi to the others and give Ella a big hug!"
Kris smiled and hung up the phone.
"Come on now little sister. Let's hit the town."
About half an hour later, the two sisters were walking across the Saint Marcus Square, taking a look at the beautiful church, and Kris almost fell down as she laughed when a pigeon sat down on top of Jill's head. They kept walking down the small alleys of Venice. The women were giggling, laughing and nonstop teasing each other. Suddenly they found themselves standing on top of the Rialto-bridge.
"And now what?" Kris smiled, leaning against the railing.
"I'm kinda hungry."
Kris rolled her eyes and smiled.
"And I'm not at least surprised. But I agree, I'm hungry too, let's find some place to eat."
The walked down the bridge on the other side, and walked besides the canal until they found a Trattoria, where they stopped.
"Looks good?" Kris asked.
"Absolutely." Jill agreed, and they had a seat outside the restaurant. There was a lot of people sitting outside together with them, the rain had stopped and the sun had begun to shine again, drying up everything. Kris and Jill ordered in a bottle of white and pasta, while they kept talking. It was a lot of talking among the big amount of guests, and all the tourists and natives passing on the street.
Suddenly, the sound of a riffle being fired interrupted the peaceful talks, and people screamed and threw themselves down to the ground. Kris and Jill ducked for cover too, and while sitting behind their table, they heard the sound of a motorboat speed off. Jill was the first one to look up from behind the table. The first thing she saw was a man, in his forties, still sitting in his chair, with a bullet hole right through the heart.
I did promise you some drama, right? Then let's start . . . ^^
But come on! Revieeew! 0:D
