Criss got it and opened it as the lovely lady got in it. "Thanks Angel I'll have to repay you for your kindness" as she went in. Wow tough and spunky that's a great combination in my book Criss thought as he went back in. Upstairs Julie was putting her winning photo in her portfolio when a knock came to her door. She answered the door. At the door was the girl from the taxi. "Minnie I'm so glad to see you" giving her a hug. "It's nice to see you can I come in?". "Sure roll on in," Julie said as she came in. "So how was the flight?". "Uneventful but you won't believe who helped with my luggage and my wheelchair Criss Angel"Minnie remarked. Julie's eyes almost bugged out. "Wow Mr. Mindfreak himself I guess he's trying to earn a little extra money outside" as they both started to laugh

That night Costa invited Julie and Minnie down for a double date with Criss and him. Up in his room Criss and Costa were getting ready. "So is there anything I need to know about Julie's sister?"Costa asked from the bathroom. "Only that she's in a wheelchair"Criss replied as he picked out a shirt to wear. "Did you say wheelchair?" Costa said making sure he heard Criss right. "Yea it's a chair with wheel hence the name wheelchair" Criss replied. "I hope I don't say anything stupid" Costa stated. "So what guys do that from time to time I've done it myself"Criss said as Costa came out of the bathroom. "I just don't want to embarrass myself with Minnie. She's the reason Julie may not stay in Las Vegas and I really want her to" Costa stated. "You really love her don't you". "Yea when I met her I just felt this connection and I just hope we can make a relantionship"Costa stated. "Well let's not keep these lovely ladies waiting" and they left. Downstairs Julie and Minnie were all ready sitting looking at the menus when Costa and Criss came in.

"Hello ladies"Criss said. "Hey guys I hope you don't mind but we order you some drinks" as the guys sat down. "Thanks Minnie this is my older brother Costa" Criss introduced. "You must be the guy who my sister has a crush on" as they shook hands. "Julie doesn't talk much about you I wouldn't of guess you were in a wheelchair"Costa stated. Strike one Criss thought. "I'm sorry I-I-I didn't mean to say that"Costa replied. "It's all right Costa I'm use to it" Minnie said. "She sometimes reminds me of you Criss. She doesn’t give up. She doesn't like second place she wants to be first as much as possible"Julie stated as Minnie blushed. After they ordered dinner the salads came. "So Minnie what do you do for a living?" Criss asked. "I'm an advocate for the people with disabilities I make sure restaurant are wheelchair accessible and they have menus for the blind" she replied. "Better keep Felix away from you"Criss joked as everyone chuckled. "So how did you become wheelchair bound"Costa asked. "Costa"Criss said. "It's all right Criss I don't mind talking about it. I was in a car accident with Julie a few years back. They said I could of died if Julie wasn't there"she stated.

"Because when the guy hit us Minnie would of flown out the window but before we left I reminded her to put on her seat belt". Lucky strikes again Costa thought. "I was pinned so bad that my legs got crush and they were too badly damaged to save so they amputeed them". "What about prosthetics?"Criss asked. "Too much of my leg was taking off for me to have prosthetics but Julie has been a great friend and sister to me for that first year"she remarked as Criss and Costa smiled.
