"Criss did that explosion take away your reasoning with your sight?"JD inquired. Criss put down his cane and got up. "It's her voice the pitches when she talked about Peter. It's like listening to you when I explained White Death your voice would crack like hers did. Also why would Penn come. JD why don't you take the knot out of your shorts and call off the dogs"Criss remarked. "So you believe that I didn't plan this at all"Jenny stated. Criss nodded with a smile to his face. Jenny walked over to Criss and gave him a hug. "Well I'm glad that's settled"Penn stated. "Hey Penn you want to join us for dinner?" Criss offered. "No I got to get back I'll see you later baby" Penn said giving Jenny a kiss and left. "Well how about I call mom and Costa and see if they want to join us"JD suggested. "Only if Jenny can join us"Criss remarked. "I would love to" she replied. As we started to leave Criss tripped over something hitting the floor.

"DAM IT!!"he yelled. "Let me help you bro?"JD said but Criss pushed him away. "Leave me alone I'm not disabled JD!!" getting up. "I didn't say you were Criss"JD remarked. "Criss what's wrong?"Jenny asked. "It's this," pointing to his bandaged eyes. "I hate this being in the dark I want to see what I'm doing instead of being in this dark cell". "Christopher it's temporary"Jenny replied. "What if it isn't I'll be stuck in this dark prison for the rest of my life"Criss said. "Criss don't say that you will see again"JD assured him. "JD you don't know what it feels like. I spent an hour by myself and it felt like I was solitary confident with no light. I was ready to lose my mind"Criss stated. "Criss you can't pity yourself I know in my heart you will get your sight back" Jenny replied putting her hand on Criss's chest. "Criss you have to have faith that this is temporary you can't let the what ifs crawl up into your mind you have to push them out"JD stated putting his hand on Criss's shoulder. "All right"he remarked.

"Now let's go get something to eat I hear Criss's stomach growling" as Criss smiled. At the restaurant Dimitra met us but Costa had a date. As Jenny read some of the menu to Criss Jim Callahan walked in. "I think the prime rib with mushrooms sound good"Criss said "I thought mushrooms gave you gas Christopher" Dimitra replied. "Thanks for reminding me I don't want to kill Hammie” Criss joked. "What about Cajun Chicken and Pasta"Jenny suggested. "Tried that and ended up with five alarm heart burn" Criss replied as Callahan walked over. "I guess the rumors are true Criss Angel has lost his sight". "Callahan why don't you make yourself disappear?"JD inquired. "I have prediction for you Christopher you're going to be in the dark for the rest of your life" he stated and left laughing. "What a jerk"Dimitra replied. "Excuse me I've suddenly lost my appetite" and Criss left. Jenny turned as she looked at Callahan having a drink. "What I wouldn't give to punch that guy in the mouth" JD said.

"Who would JD"Dimitra added. Jenny got up and went into the bar. As Callahan talked Jenny snuck over and put something in his drink than left. Upstairs Criss was sitting there just patting Hammie. "Criss" a voice said coming in. "Jenny I thought you'd be having dinner with my mom and JD?". "Yea but it wasn't the same with out you Criss so we left not before Callahan ran out of the restaurant with a brown stain on his pants" laughing. Criss laughed. "He his drawers how did he do that?"Criss asked. "I kind of slipped him a stool softener or three in his drink"she remarked. Criss was laughing so hard his chest was killing him. "I hope someone puts that on You Tube for me to see",Criss replied catching his breath. Then Criss smelled something. "I smell low mien chicken if I'm right".

"Who wants Chinese" JD called out coming in. "I have chow mien, peking raviolis, and crab rangoons for Christopher"Dimitra said. "I'll go grab some plates" Jenny said. "I have some ice tea in the frig"Criss called out as Jenny brought over the plates. Criss started to feel better as he heard everyone talking and laughing. "Here Criss"JD stated handing him a plate. "Just put it on the coffee table" as he slid down on the floor. Jenny and Dimitra just started laughing as JD pour the tea.
