Jade's Blue Christmas

[Jade]

(This is not based on the song by Elvis Presley, there's not going to be an adventure nor a party for Jade because of what happened since Change and Dismissed began along with Without a 'Clue' and Thanksgiving Blues)

Part One

Jade Ezell's House

Jade: *on the phone in the den* I understand, Mom...I know how much I like Christmas; well, everyone is going to see their own families. *The doorbell rang* Okay, Mom, I see you and the cats [Sam and Socks] soon.

*After Jade hang up the phone, she through the peephole and saw a plus-sized light brunette haired, hazel eyed female in her 30s while holding some cleaning supplies and she opened the door*

Cesca: Hello, I'm here to see a client who lives here. *As she shows Jade the name of the client and Jade recognized the name*
Jade: Room Four, uh...
Cesca: I'm sorry, my name is Francesa Perla, everyone calls me Cesca.
Jade: Wait a minute, you're Cesca?
Cesca: That's right, Miss...
Jade: Jade, Jade Ezell.
Cesca: Oh my...if you excuse me, *as she walks down the hallway* I'd better clean the client's room now and thank you for showing me the way...*Quietly* I'll talk to you later. *As she knocks on the door while Jade goes back to the den*

In the Den

Jade's mind: *as Jade sits down on the chair turning on the computer to start searching about Nurse Cesca online* First seeing Professor Yang online and now Cesca, I wonder what's her story about...*Jade gasped as she saw something about Cesca it turns out she's connected to Falco Castel the one who arranged the 'marriage' of Carmen Sandiego and Chase Devineaux at the Venetian in Las Vegas, NV, USA, eleven years ago [Remember Here Comes the Crime] * It seems I'll have a talk with Cesca as soon as she's done.

Cesca: *voice only* Stupid fool left the keys again, just like the last cleaner. *Screamed as Jade came and saw Cesca fell into a chair belonging to one of Jade's friends [from her house that is] with a bucket on her left foot*

Jade: Oh fudge! *To Cesca* Are you alright?
Cesca: *notice her left foot in the bucket* Not really, I trip over the stuff around here, most of it is sweets. you know bugs can attract food, right?
Jade: Exactly!
Cesca: *to Jade* Why don't you help me put the sweets someplace else.

Jade: Of course, we've got a pantry closet *as she grabs the sweets* I'll explain my friend where the sweets went when soon as he gets back from seeing his family coming all the way from Vermont.
Cesca: Good, in the meantime I better get this bucket off my foot and start cleaning.

Part Two

Jade's House

Living Room

*After almost an hour of cleaning Cesca just rested on the couch*

Cesca: *to Jade as she came with a glass of water* Boy, I never thought his room needs lots of dusting and floor being cleaned.

Jade: *as she gave her, a glass of water* That's hard work, Cesca and it takes time!
Cesca: Do you have a problem cleaning your room. *As she starts drinking the water*

Jade: Well sort of, I'm trying to keep the room clean myself before and after doing some 'volunteering' job.
Cesca: *as she finished drinking the water* Gee, I wish I can have a good lunch, I always craving for Italian food.
Jade: Why Italian food?

Cesca: I've really wanted to try it because my family is Italian, but I never got the chance at all.
Jade: Why?
Cesca: My father's friend is the godfather is my cousins mostly the boys.
Jade: *raising her eyebrows* Godfather?!?! As in Falco Castel?!?!

Cesca: That's right, I've never became his godchild because I'm a girl and girls who are born Italians don't get blessed at all.
Jade: *with an expressionless face* Who told you that?

Cesca: My father he and my mother were disappointed when they have me and if you are wondering if I have brothers or sisters, forget it, I'm an only child and my parents were upset when the doctor warns my mother that her health could endangered her while having another child.

Jade: *as the phone rings* Unbelievable! Excuse me for a moment! *The phone rings again and Jade enters the den and picks it up again* Hello! Yeah, okay, I'll find the way to meet you there. *And she hung up the phone and came back to the living room* Cesca, I've better find a way to get to Mama Gina's.

Cesca: Mama Gina's?!?!

Jade: It's an Italian restaurant that serves pizza, pasta...
Cesca: Where this restaurant located?
Jade: Just nine minutes from here by car.
Cesca: Say no more, Miss Jade, in fact I've got my SUV with a trailer which is my home as well, why is that?
Jade: I have to see someone and of course having lunch there.

Cesca: Perfecto!
