Jake was pointing at Sarah Winchester, and so he decided to ask him directly, "What exactly happened here, Mr. Upstead? I am going to ask Miss Winchester the same question in just a moment, but I'd like to hear it from you first, if I may. And if any of the rest of you have anything else to add to this story, then you may do so, of course."
Then, another young lady was giving an explanation for what had happened. Her explanation didn't quite make sense. "Hmmm, most interesting, but I'd still like to hear Mr. Upstead and Ms. Winchester speak," Antonio said. Even though Sarah was clumsy, he didn't buy the story that she had slipped and her face had landed in the pie, that didn't ring true.
Biting down hard on his lip, Jake knew he was for it. He could mention the whole sugar rush incident... but no... no. Trying not to look at Sarah or the other girls involved Jake looked up at Dumont whilst avoiding eye contact.
"She threw a pie at me," he said simply, before realising he was gonna be dropped in it if he didn't explain now. "And I shoved it back at her... 'cause, see... I'd had a cookie... and... and the
sugar... And... I didn't feel good after that, and I went under the table, and I wasn't concentrating on the rest," Jake explained miserably, feeling his stomach churning.
