Chapter Two The
Marquis of Tremorton

Brit relaxed at her desk, casually glancing at the story on
page three of todays Tremorton Tribune, being careful not to smudge the
perfection of her freshly painted fingernails.P
I say, Tiff, listen to this, she crooned.P Robot Foils Jewel Robbery.P
Oh, my, it sounds like a certain titanium tomboy has been slumming
around downtown, spoiling for fights.P
How dreadful.P Seems like a desperate
cry for attention, if you ask me.

Tiff nodded, chuckling.P
Mmm-hmm.P Hey, maybe she watches
too much television!P They say it causes
aggressive behavior.P Jenny, you been
watchin those cop shows?P Or maybe late
night wrestling?

The cousins burst into laughter, which was the cue for the
rest of the popular girls to join in.P
Jenny cringed in her seat, trying to slide her metal frame behind her
History textbook.P B-but I had to stop
that thief!P I mean thats what Im
supposed to do.P Cripes, how
is it that they can make me feel like a freak even when I do something right?

What youre supposed to do?P Now see, thats not what I understand, grinned Brit.P In fact, I believe what youre supposed
to do is change oil and flush radiators down at Spiffy Lube, isnt it?P Hmmm, all of those oily rags and grease guns
it must be a little like working out of your own bedroom.P Oh, how nice for you.

Yeah, oil an grease an nuts an bolts, added Tiff, she
probably thinks shes working in a restaurant.

Jenny just buried her face in her hands and groaned, as the
girls laughed at her again.

Oh, chin up Jenny, its simply a little joke.P You stopped the bad, bad robber.P Bravo.P
Brit softly clapped her hands with mock sincerity, then picked up the
newspaper.P No pictures, though.P Hmmm, probably for the best.P I imagine all that crime-fighting must leave
a girl looking rather disheveled for the cameras.P But heres a lovely little photo at the bottom of the page.P Good heavens.P Freak Terrifies Bus Passengers.

Brit showed Tiff the photo it was Drew, splattered on the
windshield of the city bus that had hit him yesterday.P Hoooo, nasty, laughed Tiff.P Looks like a giant silver booger.P Oh, thats one for the yearbook.

The classroom roared with laughter.P Drew fumed, gave Brit and Tiff a little
wave, and a nasty grin.P Then he shot an
even nastier look at Brad.

You took three dozen pictures yesterday, he growled, and
every single one of them was out of focus except for that one.P Thanks ever so much.

Brad was fuming over his own copy of the newspaper.P What are you talking about?P Thats a great action shot.P But look at what they put below it!P Photo taken by passer-by!P Passer-by!P They didnt even print my name!P
And they didnt use any of my quotes in the story about the
robbery!P What a rip-off!

Drew grit his teeth, and slumped in his chair.P Shouldnt the bell be ringing right about
now?P Please?

Yes, where is Miss Snodgrass?P Shes been gone for ten minutes, wondered Brit.P Well, as soon as school is over, Jenny can
zip away to her grease monkey friends down at the garage, while Tiff and I head
over to our Career Week positions working at the design studios of
Jean-Phillipe International.

Every girl in the class, Jenny included, writhed in
envy.P Brit and Tiff Krust had gotten
jobs working in a glamorous fashion design studio.P Almost every girl had requested that Career Week assignment, but
thanks to a little donation from Brits father, the Krusts had gotten
the internships and, once again, secured their rightful places at the center of
the universe.

Jenny sulked, and doodled on the inside cover of her
textbook.P As bad as I thought this
was going to be, she thought, its ten times worse.P And Im going to have to listen to this
every day this week.P Then Im going to
have to listen to Brit and Tiff do their report on their way-cool jobs working
with supermodels, while I tell the class how I learned the difference between
an air filter and an oil filter.P
She frowned, and drew a cartoon of herself, high up on a hoist, with oil
draining from her belly button.P Just
once, Id like to have the girls jealous of me, instead of the Krusts.P Stupid Career Week.

Finally, the teacher returned to the classroom, waddling to
the front of the class.P Students,
students, please!P Settle down!P Miss Snodgrass caught her breath, and
continued.P Now, Im sorry that I had
to go to the office so suddenly, but I have a surprise for you.P We have a very special visitor!

The class had grown restless and eager for the end-of-school
bell, but Miss Snodgrass seemed unusually excited.P Now, weve heard from many local businesspeople over the past
few days for our Career Week.P But
today, were going to meet one of the most famous businessmen in the country
maybe the world!

Oh please, good lady, you flatter me, spoke a voice from
the doorway.P It was deep, and rich,
with a hint of a European accent, possibly Spanish.P Miss Snodgrass blushed, and everybody turned to see who it was.

A tall, distinguished-looking man strolled into the
classroom.P His strong face was framed
by salt-and-pepper hair and a neatly trimmed beard, and his smile seemed
contagious.P Despite the fact that he
must have been in his late fifties, he was quite handsome and judging from
his appearance, quite wealthy as well.P
He wore a tailored, silk-lapel suit, a silk ascot fixed with a large
glistening diamond stickpin, and held a walking cane topped with an even larger
blue-white diamond.

Good afternoon, he said, in that rich, rolling voice.P My name is Maximillian Marquis.

Jenny was staring along with everyone else, but she could
still hear a few gasps in the class including Brit, who now had her hands
clasped over her mouth.P Th-thats
Maximillian Marquis, one of the richest men in Tremorton!

Actually, young lady, as of last month, the
richest, he chuckled.P My companys
stock has been performing particularly well this year.P Oh, there are many divisions, with rather uninteresting
names.P But I imagine the company you have
all heard of is my first and most famous Marquis Diamonds.

He held his walking cane out for the class to see, and the
diamond capstone dazzled brilliantly with blue-white sparkles.P Everybody oohed and ahhed, as
if they were watching a fireworks show.P
Mr. Marquis laughed again a hearty, joyous laugh.P Yes, yes, I have been around diamonds all
of my life, and yet I myself never fail to be inspired by their beauty.P They have always been a passion of
mine.P This diamond on my walking-stick,
for instance.P It is a rather unique
specimen.P It was discovered many, many
miles beneath the surface of the moon, and it is worth almost five million
dollars.

A few whistles sounded from the students.P You see, continued Marquis, lunar
diamonds are quite rare quite beautiful.P
And they are, indirectly, the reason I have come to visit your fine
school today.P One of your classmates
recently stopped a burglary, and saved several hundred of my finest lunar
diamonds.P He gestured towards
Jenny.P Miss Wakeman, I wish to thank
you for your heroism.P I owe you a great
debt of gratitude.

Everyone stared at Jenny, but now, with a touch of
awe.P Jenny suddenly felt a little
flustered.P It was so unusual for anyone
to go to the trouble of thanking her and she still appreciated anyone who
called her by her chosen name.P Gee
youre welcome, umm, Mr. Marquis.P I was
just doing my job.

So charming, and yet so humble, he smiled.P A few of the girls giggled, and Marquis
continued.P And so altruistic.P I understand that you turned down a reward
yesterday for the rescue of my diamonds.P
That is most noble of you, Jennifer, but perhaps I can offer you a more
practical reward that you will find satisfactory.P I understand that your class is having some sort of Career
Week?

Umm yes, thats right.

Well, I was wondering if you might be interested in coming
to work for me, at Marquis Diamonds, for the week.

Gasp.P Working
with all of those beautiful, sparkling diamonds, like the ones she had seen
yesterday Th-that sounds amazing!P Oh
but I already have an assignment.

I have spoken with your teachers, and they assure me that
it would be acceptable for you change assignments.

W-wow thats very generous of you, sir! grinned
Jenny.P Wow, I cant believe Im
going to work as a salesgirl in a fancy jewelry store!

Oh, please, Miss Wakeman, you are far too modest.P You see, I am having a little event
later in the week.P Actually, its a
rather large affair, held at my private estate, a little something I conduct
every year.

Brit gasped again.P
Thats the the Marquis International Diamond Exposition!

Yes, precisely, he replied.P So it would be an excellent opportunity for you to become
involved in all of the preparation activities.P
And if you are interested, you could participate in the show itself
perhaps as a model for some of my jewelers creations?

Now the eyes of every girl in the class sprang to the size
of pie plates.P Brit and Tiff sat in a
state of shock.P Jennys head was
swirling with giddiness.P You want
me?P To be a model?P I I dont know what to say!

Brit couldnt help herself this was beyond belief.P He he wants Junkpile Jenny to model
millions of dollars in diamond jewelry?!?

Marquis shot a disapproving look at Brit, gently shaking his
cane.P Young lady, manners, manners!P We can only enjoy the brilliance of these
diamonds thanks to the amazing technology that removes them from the most
inhospitable of environments!P Thus,
diamonds are a spectacular beauty, brought forth through technology much like
young Jennifer herself.P She is singularly
qualified to symbolize my little diamond show.P
Of course, that is, if shes interested.

Jenny fought to keep her giggling under control.P Am I ever!P I mean yes, Id like that very much, sir.

Splendid, splendid! he grinned.P And on perfect cue, the bell sounded to dismiss class.P Ah, but now I see that the school day is
over.P That means, Miss Wakeman, that
you are now my employee, and it would be best that you report for your first
day of work.P I am heading to my offices
right now, and I would be delighted if you would accompany me.

Jenny practically jumped out of her desk, and followed
Maximillian Marquis into the hallway.P
The rest of the girls in her class streamed out to follow them, amazed
that somebody in their class let alone Jenny was going to work as a model.P Many of the guys followed along, too.P It simply wasnt every day that you could
say a billionaire came to your school.P
Brit, Tiff, and their popular posse hurried along in a state of
disbelief, with Brad and Drew bringing up the rear, along with several of the
teachers.

Old Raszinski himself held the front doors open, as Mr.
Marquis strolled outside with Jenny.P I
realize that this is not as rapid as your accustomed mode of travel, but
it will afford us the opportunity to have a nice chat, yes?

Jenny couldnt believe it.P
Sitting in front of the school was a glistening black limousine, shining
like an ebony pearl, at least forty feet long.P
It was trimmed with gold, and its hood ornament was a dazzling lunar
diamond.P Wow, this is so totally
phat I mean P She composed
herself a bit.P This is all very nice
of you, Mr. Marquis!P Jenny snuck a
glance over her shoulder, at her classmates.P
Everyone was staring at her, and the limo, and Mr. Marquis and she
could almost feel the jealousy radiating from their faces.P This is too fantastic.

Brad and Drew made their way to the front of the crowd,
about twenty feet behind Marquis and Jenny.P
Wow, Drew whistled, admiring the limousine.P Its good to be rich.

Yeah, sure, mumbled Brad.P
I suppose its okay.

Let me get the door for you! beamed Jenny, eager to help
her new boss.

Nonsense!P Call me
old fashioned, but a lovely young lady such as yourself should have doors held
for her.P Marquis raised his
voice slightly.P Rojack!

The drivers door of the limousine opened, and suddenly a
low hummm filled the air.P An
eight-foot tall figure stepped out of the limo, rocking it from side to side
with his immense weight.P The driver was
an imposing, barrel-chested robot, with a powerful build.P It was black and silver, with a pattern on
its chest that suggested a double-M insignia.P
It slowly strolled around to the door of the limo, and held it open for
Marquis and Jenny.

This is Rojack, my personal valet, explained Marquis.P You see?P
I am very comfortable around robots, and consider them to be among my
most valued and trustworthy of employees.P
Rojack is a robot of many talents.P I would be quite lost without him!

Jenny stared up into the robots glowing red eyes.P Wow well, its very nice to meet you,
Rojack, she said.P The robot simply
stared back at her silently.

I must apologize for Rojack, chuckled Marquis.P He is somewhat lacking in the social
graces.P He gestured to the open
door.P After you, miss.

Jenny blushed with a sweet smile, climbed into the
limousine, and waved to all of her classmates.P
Maximillian Marquis followed, but stumbled a bit on the curb, and he
dropped his diamond-tipped walking stick.P
It clattered onto the asphalt, and rolled underneath the limo.

Rojack knelt down and tucked one arm underneath the limos
chassis.P With a smooth motion, he
lifted the limousine the forty-foot limousine a few feet off of the
ground, and retrieved the cane.P Then he
gently set the limo back down, light as a feather, and offered the cane back to
his master.

How clumsy of me.P
Thank you, Rojack.P You may drive
us to the office, now.

Rojack nodded, closed the door, and slowly lumbered around
the limo.P Just before he got in, he
paused, and looked back towards the students.P
His eyes narrowed, and the red glow intensified just a bit as if he
were scanning them.P At least thats
what it felt like to Brad.P In fact, he
could swear that Rojack was staring directly at him and Drew with a stare
that could only be described as menacing.

The limo pulled away, and the crowd of students burst into
talk and gossip, amazed at what had just happened.P Brit, Tiff, and the popular girls looked like they were in need
of medical attention.P But Brad had a
disturbed look on his face, and felt a little confused.P This was probably one of the best days of
Jennys life, and it was sure to send her popularity at school through the
roof.P It might even make her
famous.P And Brad could tell that Jenny
was enjoying all of the attention and flattery that Mr. Marquis was giving
her.P I should be happy for Jenny,
he thought to himself, and frowned.P Well,
I should be.P But he wasnt, and he
didnt know why.
