__Chapter Summary__ Rachael McCormack Chapter 3 of Diamonds, __the ace of diamonds__ This chapter is only the beginning of all the missions that will be set upon Ed. in this chapter Ed recieves the first ace, and the chapter pretty much raps up the bamk robbery with artivles in the paper and everyone talking about how Ed was a 'Hero'. once Ed recieves the card he begins to wander who, how and why this card was sent to him. Who would send a card to me? How am i going to work this out? Why me, why send the card to me? As Ed tries to think who would do this he thought of his friends as they are really the only ones that know he Plays cards. but then he thinks of all the poeple that have walked past and seen him playing. ed is to worked up about thinking that he is a complete loser to think that maybe this is here to change his life. Ed: We learn that Ed gets his 15 seconds of fame, he has lied to the police and many others but his friends, we learn that he is very forgetful when he is doing more than 1 thing at a time, that he acts like a smart arse to his Ma, he gets side tracked, he continues to put himself down in disbelief. Marv: that he is far to thick to think of things (like sending the aces to Ed), he has thick blonde hair that stands up almost in knots, he wears old suit pants, he jangles his car keys in his pocket, he always looks like he his laughing with sarcasm, he carries on like an idiot which is one reason he has so many friends. Audrey: she is the only one that would be able to think of sending a card of addresses to Ed, Ed loves her wiry legs. Ritchie: plays no real part in this chapter, they play cards at his place. Doorman: he has a suit of black and gold fur, his eyes are big, he speaks to Ed through toughts. Ma: abuses Ed for forgetting her coffee tables, doesn't think much of Ed, thinks he is a complete failure. Some Useful qoutes: "... and the doorman just looks at me like always. He couldn't give a shit if I'm a hero" " There's something flowing between my fingers as i hold the envelope in my hands and begin tearing it open" "It's the Ace of Diamonds." "It's without a doubt the strangest thing that's ever happened to me." "Yeah hi love"Ed "Don't yeah hi love me, you little bastard."Ma "Great."Ed "Too Pathetically calm for my own good." "When the thought passes, I look at Audrey, the white-hot moon and the Doorman, and I tell myself to stop kidding me" "//Who would send me something like this?// I ask myself. //What have I done to get an old playing card in my letterbox, with strange addresses scrawled on it?// I go back in and sit at the kitchen table."
