Pentatonix: Murder House

Thirty-Three

Angelica and Nel are setting up the house for Halloween by carving pumpkins and putting up decorations outside and inside.

Nel walks into the dining room to see all these pumpkins on the table that Angelica is carving.

"Did Josh bring all these pumpkins?" Nel asks.

Angelica pauses for a moment. "Yes."

"Oh, that's nice." Nel says about Angelica pumpkin carvings.

"Thank you. I enjoy crafts." She says.

Angelica wipes off the pumpkin and sets down her tools to ask Nel an important question.

"Mrs. Grassi?"

"Hmm?"

"May I have Halloween off? I'd like to visit with my mother." Angelica asks.

"Of course." Nel says.

Angelica smiles a little and cleans the pumpkin some more so it will be perfect.

"Done." She says with a smile.

"I'll put that one outside!" Nel says taking it away from the table.

Nel opens up the front door to place the pumpkin on the front step and sees two men standing in her walkway talking about the flowers.

"Ugh! The roses have whitefly. Jesus, what an eye sore." The man says.

"Hi." Nel says walking towards the two men.

They turn around a great Her with a smile.

"Hi. Love the house. So much potential." The short man with dark hair says.

"Are you Josh's fluffers?" Nel asks.

"I'm Shawn Adeli. This is my ball and chain, Alex." Shawn says walking over to shake Nel's hand.

"Welcome."

Shawn puts back on his sunglasses and follows Nel inside.

"This is actually kind of fun. I never got to do this when I was a kid!" Mike says with a huge smile on his face.

"Why not?" Shawn asks.

Nel quickly jumps in and changes the subject.

"So, this is what you guys do for a living. That is amazing to me. And wonderful, you know." I think style is so important." Nel says.

"It's everything." Shawn says.

Alex scoffs at him.

Shawn scoffs back and drops his knife on the counter.

"It's so great that I get to help you guys have the best Halloween ever! I love Halloween. So does Alex." Shawn says picking up his glass of wine and walking over to Alex.

"Because the bars are just awash in twinks with six packs in revealing outfits. Isn't that right, Al? The Abby, The O-Bar, Rage. That's where he was last year instead of helping me with trick-or-treaters." Shawn explains.

Alex sets down his tools and puts his two cents into the conversation.

"Have another drink, dear. Crafting brings out his inner George and Martha." Alex says.
