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 out from the den 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!

Jade: She's safe, she told me about what happened to her life after a Thanksgiving incident.

Cesca: What Thanksgiving incident?!?!
Jade: The time when you [Cesca] push Leanne and make her drop the gravy boat.
Cesca: Oh, that incident, I didn't push her, I trip over a rug.
Marsh: *on screen* It's true of what happened me and Trice saw the whole thing.
Jade: Are you Max Wells' girlfriend?
Cesca: Girlfriend?!?! No way, I'm not, I prefer a guy who likes me just the way I am, and he has to be Italian, of course.
Marsh: *on screen* Still looking for Mr. Right?
Cesca: Yeah, but no guy wants me just because of I'm plus sized, you know.

Marsh: *on screen* I hope you didn't get crazy for liverwurst sandwich and drinking vanilla malted milkshake are you, Cesca?

Cesca: You know I always craving for Italian food.
Marsh: *on screen* Sorry.
Jade: *quietly* Now, Tyson, about our ACME friends?

Jade: Tyson, Tyson!
Landlord: It's no use, Jade, we've lost contacted.
*Jade gasped as she some henchmen wearing trenchcoat and hat enters the restaurant...The waitress came to them*

Waitress: *to the Henchmen* Hey, gentlemen do you mind take off your hat and coat.
Henchman#1: We're not hungry, ma'am!
Henchman#2: Just bring us some Italian wine.
Waitress: We don't serve wine, gentlemen and you two *pointing at Henchman #3 and Henchman #4 taking out prosciutto, mozzarella cheese, a jar of green olives and some biscotti out of the bag* No outside food allowed.

Henchman#3: Just relax, ma'am, we just brought some Italian gourmet for ourselves.
Henchman#4: Now get us some Italian wine or else, lady!
Waitress: I told you, men, we don't serve wine.
Henchman#1: Lady, get the manager over here for us, tell him to bring us some Italian wine. *The waitress leaves in frustration*

Cesca: *quietly* What was that all about?
Jade: *quietly* Don't ask, Cesca.
*The waitress came back with the manager and the waitress leaves*

Manager: *to the four henchmen* Gentlemen, she [waitress] told me about you ordering Italian wine and bringing outside food we don't do that here at Mama Gina's.
Henchman#2: So, what, old man, you'd better...
Henchman#3: *interrupted* Say, is that Cesca?
Henchman#4: Sure is...*As the waitress came with the food and Henchman #1 grabs the tray from the waitress*
Waitress: Hey, give the food back those are customers.

Henchman#1: Really, Grazie!
Jade: *Henchman #1 starts eating the Fettuccine Alfredo* Hey, pal, give us back our food.
Cesca: My Fettuccine Alfredo, give it back.
Henchman#2: *to Cesca* No way, cousin, big fat Italian girls like you shouldn't eat anything, lose weight, fatty. *The rest of the henchmen laughed while the landlord heads for the men's restroom*
Jade: Boys, you better be careful at what saying, you should never say things that will hurt somebody's feelings or judging them for their size.

Henchman#3: Who ask you, Signorina? What's your name?
Jade: Jade Ezell. *The four henchmen gasped*
Henchman#4: She's among one of those ACME idiots who stopped our godfather [Falco Castel] eleven years ago.
Jade: Your godfather is the one arrange the marriage between Chase Devineaux and Carmen Sandiego in Las Vegas for a fake inheritance.

Henchman#2: Because of ACME capturing our godfather, he spends his rotten years in prison and passed away we've lost everything he left for us.
Jade: That's because your godfather is one criminal mastermind and his restaurant [Asiago] is just for covering his crimes.
Henchman#1: *after he throws the plate onto the floor* Why you? *He is about to attack Jade however she knocks him down to the floor by punching him in the stomach*

Henchman#2: Dear cousin, *to Henchman#3 and Henchman#4* Let's get her! *And then Cesca grabs the push broom and knock all three down and fell onto Henchman#1* Why, Cesca?
Cesca: That's for ruining our lunch. *As the police cars came to the parking lot and the officers shows up just in time*
