Chapter 3 Visit from Crumbs
I was scrubbing tables although my plan got Mum and Dad from going to open house I still have to clean and tidy the Sub Station every night even tomorrow night during the Horror Movie Marathon and I've been looking forward to that all year.
"Alex" called my Dad "Come here.
"No because all you're going to do is rub it in my face," I replied
"Just come here," Dad, screamed now impatient
I walked over to my Dad he was making himself a Turkey and Baloni Sandwich and he was looking cross but like he was offering me a chance of something, you don't often see those two things at the same time in fact you really never see the last.
"Alex, you don't have to wipe the tables tomorrow night", Dad started
"YES!" I screamed jumping up and down; I'm watching Horror Movie Marathon. I started dancing all around the Sub Station and then I went outside and shouted to members of the public still Dancing all the while Dad was trying to get my attention but I wasn't listening, I was in too good of a mood suddenly my happiness balloon was shot down out the sky when my Dad screamed at me. "You can't watch Movie Marathon", that got my attention before he continued, "You only got out of table duty because Professor Crumbs is coming ".
"Oh" I replied I was now in a foul mood.
Justin came in and said he could not find the chicken so I told him to fuck off and go find the chicken it's not my fault he is a nutcase retard and can't find the chicken. Dad then told Justin "We don't have any chicken" then gave me his look. I walked off saying "Whatever".
That night after I had calmed down a bit Me, Justin, Max and Dad were sitting in the lair waiting for crumbs. Mum was upstairs tidying away the dinner things and reading a really boring book that was called something like prej and prideajice all lovey dovey long ago book so sick. She refused to be part of magic in the Russo house or any house. Justin kept correcting me on the name "It's Pride and Predujuce" he kept on telling me it was 5th time now he couldn't twig I didn't care. I said I calmed down not become nice I am Alex not Harper or anything.
At that moment crumbs magically appeared in our dining room and I do mean magically we are still choking on the smoke because the lair has ventilation problems dad should of fixed or told Justin how to fix months ago. Crumbs started speaking and said "Justin and Max you may leave, Jerry please also leave I only want to talk to Alex, and for once she isn't in trouble, hard to believe but true". Justin, Max and Dad left leaving just me and Crumbs in the poor ventilated room no fair. "What is it" I asked.
"I'm going to show you not tell you, it's better and we can leave this room because I hate it" Crumbs replied. We transported to a lovely looking castle with surrounding woodland and a private beach.
"You want me to help you with an evil scheme to take over the wizard world and this is your base," I said rather enthusiastically.
"No" replied Crumbs laughing at me
"That wasn't a joke," I said rather offended he found it funny.
"Just, listen it will come apparent, he told me".
