Chapter 11 continues

     The count down to midnight came quickly and right on time all gathered there at the fabulous party each received a New Years Kiss. Shortly after the cheers and the singing of Aulde Lang Syne most of the older guests went home and Sean's parents retired for the evening due to their complete inebriation. It was mainly a few teenagers and a handful of college students who stayed up late into the wee hours as 'Spill the Wine' by Eric Burdon and War played on the hi-fi as those who remained in the billiard room sat, drinking, some smoking a few spliffs. Felina had disappeared with the young handsome Samuel for several minutes when his brother Sean began pawing at Serena, who enjoyed his attention but she did not want him grabbing at her expensive dress, for it was a hand beaded original Oscar de la Renta. So Serena would slap at Sean's hand, now and again, when he would grab her ass. Xavier and Norman did their best to come between the two of them, much to Sean's chagrin. Now this instilled a bitterness in the young drunk boy's heart, so he began  saying derogatory statements to Xavier, calling him Manuel, "Manuel! Go get me another drink!"
     "Why does he call me Manuel?"  Xavier asked Norman as they stood across the billiard table glaring over at Sean.
     "It's a character on Fawlty Towers with John Cleese." Norman tried to explain the reference, though Xavier had never seen the show and still had no clue as to the racist remark. "He's trying to insult you." Norman said as he went over and stood close to Serena who was bending over to take her shot at the table.
     "Oy! Kojak! Outta my way you're ruining my view!" Sean said turning his insults toward the large bald man, whom Sean knew did not belong in these social circles. "Say when I take my next shot can I rub your bald head for luck?" Sean and his college mates all laughed then Sean continued saying "You know what everybody? Doesn't No-man remind you of the monster in Young Frankenstein?" a roar of laughter issued up from the small crowd gathered there. However, Norman, Xavier and Serena were not laughing.
     They waited for Norman's response but he just stood there in silence staring over at the little boy thinking to himself. A surge of anger and rush of blood filled his brain and Norman felt the overwhelming, desperate need to leap upon this stupid prick and beat him about the head and face. However something strange happened, Norman was not sure how this took place. Instead of meting out his anger on the bastard, Norman merely set his drink down, straightened out his tie and said "If you all will excuse me I have to see a man about a Clydesdale." he said as he calmly walked away taking deep calming breaths. Norman stepped out into the long hallway in the great house and he went over and opened up the bathroom door where he was shocked to see Samuel, who had Felina's dress hiked up over her hips as he bent her over the sink and was giving it to her good.
      "Sorry!" Norman said shocked as he went to close the door as Felina laughed.
      "You can come in and watch if you like!" she laughed as Samuel continued with a mighty thrust of his hips.
      "There's another loo down the hall!" Samuel shouted trying to accommodate his guest.
      With a blush of embarrassment to his cheeks, Norman proceeded down the long dimly lit hall. Yet, with so many doors, Norman did not know which would lead to the bathroom he so desperately needed. Norman just opened up a random door but alas it was not a bathroom but a bedroom. As Norman glanced around he noticed this was the bedroom belonging to none other than that little prick Sean. Norman stepped in and closed the door as he switched on the light. There on Sean's desk were photos of him at graduation and picture of him and some gorgeous woman on a white sandy beach. On the dresser a picture of his family at Ascot in the Royal Enclosure and there was a small plain wooden box a little bit bigger than a bible. Norman slowly lifted the lid off the box where he found a little bit of treasure inside. As he looked inside the thought came to him that he should teach this boy a lesson by stealing a few items from the obnoxious brat. So, secure in the knowledge he was doing the right thing our Norman slipped a gold Rolex watch in his pocket, along with a diamond and sapphire tie clip, three sets of platinum cuff links and two gold Mount Blanc pens; which he hid in the breast pocket of his suit. As Norman laughed a little to himself he was startled as he heard a woman scream and Xavier yelling loudly, followed by a commotion coming from the down the hall. Norman switched off the light and ran down the hall to see what was the matter.
