"J-i-im!"-Melinda yelled .She was staying in front of the bathroom dressed in one of the hotel's bathrobes.

"Honey are you ready?"-she continued yelling.

"No!"-she heard him from inside. "I'll need like ten minutes!"

"OK, but hurry up!"-she answered.

"Why don't you come here?"-he suggested.

"Oh, honey no time."-she refused.

"C'mon I'll chafe you as you love."-he continued." And from your shoulders, and down …"-his voice began sounding playfully."

"Okay, you won my attention!"-she giggled.

"I'm waiting for you gorgeous!"

A couple minutes Jim and Melinda quickly got out of their room, and hurried down the staircase.

"I knew that you'll scatterbrain!"-Melinda looked at Jim victoriously.

"OK put me on trial, honey, but I don't sorry for what I've done!"-Jim put his hand over her shoulders.

"I'm pretty sure!"-Melinda chuckled.

„You know I'm curious on how our mothers are do'inn with the children?-Jim began to tumble his cell in his left hand.

"You're wright, we have to check them."-Melinda agreed. "Call them!"

Jim nodded, and dialed his mother.
"Oh, Cloy shut up and GO IN THE OTHER ROOM!"-they heard a scream for the other side of the telephone line.

Jim dazed his eyes.

"Is that my mother?"-Melinda whispered.

"Think so."-Jim answered also whispering.

In that time the shouting in the other side of the line continued.

"You kids are unbelievably DISGUSTING!GET LOST!GO IN YOURS ROOM AN LEAVE ME ALONE!"-Beth Gordon was sounding really angry.

"Ughm Hello dear mom in law?"-Jim started a bit amused.

"Jim ?Is that you?"-Beth's voice immediately softened." The kids are so sweet !- she screamed esoterically. "I was just planning to kill all of them!"-she growled.

Her anger, somehow was really funny to him, so he continued asking her with voice sweeter than sugar.

"So dear mom where is my other mom?"

Melinda smirked, and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Is Melinda around ?Are spying on us? We are responsible enough Jim, this is very offensive!"-Beth put her hand on her waist angrily. "Faith is down the market… those little always hungry throats, wanna eat… and I our resort haves the official dinner after one hour… so she will make them something."

Jim purred lucidity.

"I see that some of our nephews…"

"Yes, the wonderful ideas of your mother !At least Cloy and her friend"-Beth bruised on ,,friend" really badly, so Jim and Mel could see that she didn't like him a lot. "At least they will live after two days… Aiden is the best grandson in the whole world !But Paul and Andrea… well they are worse! We'll make it…now excuse me I'll need to hide one broken vase from Faith."-And so Beth broke the line.

Jim put his cell in his pocket and looked at Melinda in jolly mood.

"This is the best trip ever!"

Melinda rolled eyes.

"Yes, the granny's will be punished for the time they didn't took care of our kids!"-she agreed and kissed him.

" You know ,I think that she broke that vase!"-Jim continued gloating.

"Oh, c'mon Clancy, you're not married to my mother, but to me!"-Melinda seducible wrapped hands over his neck.

"I know Scones, I love you, sorry."-he cuddled her over the waist and kissed her. Then they caught each other's hand, and continued their way to the reception.

Faith Clancy nervously pushed the elevator button .A few seconds later the doors opened and she ran into the hall, and then her apartment.

"Ok who is hungry?"-she asked in a sing.

"NOBODY!"-all the kids shouted in the same time.

"What do you mean?"-Faith looked at Cloy and her friend Casey confused.

"Well you were to slow grandma!"-Cloy shouted glibly.

"Yeah and now we don't wanna eat!"-Casey added.

And so with a scream they escaped from the room.

"What are we going to do with those kids?"-Faith sighed and sat on the sofa.

"Hello? Beth…are you okay?"

"No. I'm violent!"-Beth growled .She was sitting on the armchair with empty eyes, peering somewhere throw the flat ,silver screen of the TV.

Faith dropped another sigh.

"Where is Aiden?"

"In the game room in the central building."-she said dryly. "And the little ones are in the kid corner. Today they watch kids from 16 to 20 o'clock .For free."-she added.

Faith nodded approvingly.

"Well dinner starts after fifty minutes…"-she looked at her watch.

"You were in that supermarket like twenty minutes .Why?"-she snatched her.

"There were a lot of people."-Faith answered." Did the kids called?"

"Yes .And actually I envy them!"-Beth mumbled.

"Well, they deserved this, you know they really need rest!"-Faith opposed.

"Yeah, maybe… but why did you invite those little wicked mice!"-Beth stood up.

"Because their parents needed to take a…"

"REST?"-Beth yelled. "EVERYBODY ELSE BUT NOT US!"

"WELL SORRY, THAT I'M TRYING TO BE A HUMAN!"-Beth stood up too.

"Stop screaming you witches !We are trying to play a game!"-Casey came into the room with his usual slimy face.

"SHUT UP!"-both Faith and Beth shouted in one voice.

Casey looked at them a bit scared .He didn't use somebody to shout at him, so he exited in a hurry.

Eli stepped on his left, then on his right leg, a bit dizzy .The wine was a little too much for him that night.

"I tell you fellows, we really have to go to this place."

"You idiot!"-Delia looked at him indignantly. "Nobody wants to go to a strip bar!"

"Maybe you the women… but we…"-Eli looked at Payne.

"Are you mad ?My husband won't come with you!"-Melinda snatched him.

"Alright, alright I was just going to say that he probably won't be allowed...but think Jim, there will be dancers, Egyptian…"

"Eli James keep you nasty tang, behind you're teeth!"-Melinda shouted.

"Jim?"-Eli looked at him.

"I'm sorry guys .I'm not coming, I have all ever I wanted right here to me!"-he kissed Melinda's cheek.

Delia gasped pleased, while Eli frowned.

"Eh, forget the loyal doggy Eli, we can go without him!"-Payne smiled, under the influence of the alcohol." Hey, Melinda have you thought to become a strip dancer?"

"That is it! You idiot!".

"I was just saying that you have potential!"-he tried to soft his words, but it made her even angrier.

"Rick!"-Delia kicked his ankle." Shut up!"

"Fine, I was just trying to make her a compliment!"-Payne chuckled.

Later everybody went in their hotel room .It was like half past twelve when Melinda woke up, bathed in sweat .After her eyes fixed, and she could see the shadows of the object, in the darkness, she saw smoke coming from the bathroom. She could see it, and smell it, it looked like a fire was burning in the bathroom.

She stood up and went to wash her face with cold water, because it was really hot .She switched the light on, and she saw it…laying there in the sink… it was bleeding and the smoke was coming from it…, the surprise was immediately changed with scare .And horror .Melinda opened mouth…and screamed. Screamed terrifyingly.
