Chapter 6: The Silent one Speaks

Grandma Mazur was waiting for Stephanie on a bench that was outside the funeral home. Stephanie loved her grandma, but damn, there were things she wished she would tone down on. Today her hair was a pixy light blue, it was styled in curls. She wore a matching blue color strapless dress. The extra skin on her arms flapped as she waved at Stephanie. even in her late 80's, Grandma Mazur was as active as a 20 year old. Though, the activities were more centered towards death and old men.

"Why land sake, if it ain't the woman from my dreams, how have you been?!" Grandma Mazur exclaimed to Heidi, who smiled and gave her a small wave, "Ain't that a pip!

"Hello Edna, how are you, on this hot day?" Heidi asked the elderly woman, once she was in the Porsche.

"Oh just spent all day at a wake, let me tell you Stephanie, it was 87 year old Martha, she had died six days ago from a stroke. No one had known about her until yesterday night. Oh apparently she stunk her house up!" Grandma Mazur told the three women, snapping the dentures in her mouth, "and since this crazy heat wave came about, and she had spent 4 days in that home, with the heat on high, on account of Martha was so skinny and always cold. She had bloated up three times her size!"

"Oh, that's great Grandma!" Stephanie said with a grimace, "Uh…maybe we should finish this conversation later on!"
"You wanna know what the funny part was?" Grandma Mazur asked.

Jeanne looked over to Heidi, who was moaning softly, her face pale, "Heidi, are you okay?"

"I do not want to hear this conversation," Heidi moaned softly, placing a hand on her mouth, "I think you should finish this conversation later on Edna-"

"Oh nonsense!" Grandma Mazur said with a smile, "The coroner came to get her body, and they dropped her!"

Jeanne snickered looking over at Heidi, who began to gag softly. Stephanie looked up at the woman and said, "Grandma, I really think you shouldn't talk about this-"

"And she exploded on the floor, apparently made a big popping sound! All her organs had turned into liquids, and so it was just a rotten pile of goo that oozed out of every hole in her body!" Grandma Mazur whooped, "Ain't that a pip Stephanie?!"

Heidi rolled her window down, leaned out the window, and then threw up everything she had eaten that afternoon. Jeanne sped up the Cayenne and laughed, "Gross Heidi, I hope no chunks hit your face!"

"Jeanne you are a horrible person!" Stephanie muttered looking at Heidi who was still throwing up, outside the window, "And to think you are going to date this woman, Heidi!"

"Hey you Missy, the one driving this car" Grandma Mazur said to Jeanne who looked in the rearview mirror.

"Yo Granny, what do you need?" Jeanne asked, slowly speeding up the car, making Heidi throw up again.

"So you're a lesbian?" Grandma Mazur asked Jeanne, who nodded her head, "Well I always wanted to know how lesbians had sex, do ya use a strap on? Or do you scissor?"

"Grandma!" Stephanie exclaimed covering her face, "Why would you ask a question like that?!"

"Well Stephanie, I'm just curious, maybe I want to become a lesbian one day, gotta know some of these things you know." Grandma Mazur told her granddaughter,"So tell me Missy!"

"We do both and a whole lot more, I would tell you what we do, Granny, but Stephanie here is a virgin, wouldn't want to pop her cherry by our words alone." Jeanne said looking at Stephanie ,who gave her the finger, "I would fuck you baby, but you wouldn't know how to use it!"

"So Stephanie, you know I've been going out with this young buck from the nursing home, he's 82, and can still get it up!" Grandma Mazur said, making Stephanie moan softly, pulling at her wild curls, "Let me tell you about what we did last night!"

"Edna, please, "Heidi whimpered softly, slumping back in the car seat, "I cannot take it anymore, let us wait for dinner tonight, I'm sure Helen would love to hear about your escapades without your dentures."

"Oh you know that old stick in the mud daughter of mine would faint or drink herself blind, if I told her about me and my boyfriend!" Grandma Mazur said shaking her head, "I swear, where did I go wrong with that girl, it must be something in the water!"

Grandma Mazur leaned forward and said, "My Husband and I gave that girl all the tools she needed to succeed. Well, one time she got offered a job in France! She didn't want to take it! Your mother could have been a model!"

"My mother, Grandma?" Stephanie asked her mouth wide from sheer dumbstruck, "The same one that irons when she's nervous?!"

"She use to have dreams and aspirations that didn't revolve around the burg Stephanie," Grandma Mazur told them, "She was so pretty, she could have traveled around the world, become someone famous. I love my Son-in-law; don't get me wrong, he helped make you and Valarie, but your mother was adamant about marrying him when she was 20, they both were so young, and with Frank coming back from the Vietnam war too. We implored them to take their time, to live a little before settling down."

Stephanie looked out the window. She couldn't believe what Grandma Mazur just told her. Her mother had a bright future. Why in the world did she toss it away, just to marry her father and become one of those nosy housewives from the 'Burg? She thought about what Heidi had told her in her dreams when she had been a child. Her mother had molded herself into a housewife, all because of the people around her.

"Do you know what happened to her, to make her give up all her dreams?" Stephanie asked her Grandma, who frowned and closed her eyes.

"The girls she used to be friends with, they filled her head with those ideas of an American dream." Grandma Mazur, "Marriage, kids, husbands, staying at home and taking care of everything. Letting the men take care of the money and bills."

Stephanie felt her heart wrench at the look of sadness in her Grandmother's eyes, "She had so much going for her, just for her to fall under pressure."

"Aye," Heidi agreed with Grandma Mazur, rubbing her belly, "Free will is something not easily restored."

(I swear sometimes, is out to get me, I'll put the page breaks in my own story like so!)

Carlos smiled softly at Ella when she came into his office on the fifth floor. It had been an odd day. The first thing he did that morning was get his Turbo back. He was kind enough to replace it with the Cayenne. He was sure Jeanne would have thrown a hissy fit, if it had been a RangeMan SUV. He was quite pleased to know that Tank did Payroll yesterday, while he was passed out. He had heard rumors that his men had stuffed themselves sill with sweets that day also, but he had yet to find any evidence that told him that the rumors were true.

He trained his men well.

For most of the day, Carlos spent it going through potential customers for security. Some of them had simple wants for their packages. Those customers he signed on quickly, he loved it when knew what they wanted and didn't pussyfoot around. The potential customers that were flighty, and change their wants quickly, he politely pointed them to another security firm. He hated losing potential customers, but he loved his sanity more than he loved money.

Ella walked over to Carlos, and gently patted his cheek, "I am glad to see that you are okay hijo, I went to check on you yesterday, but Heidi would not let me see you."

"I'm feeling better Tia Ella," Carlos said with a smile, "I have a question for you, did you see any of the men eating junk food here, yesterday?"

Ella's eyes sparkled and she said, "Hijo, I didn't see any sweets that had been bought in the building, I am sure Pierre would have told them off!"

Carlos shook his head and said, "Okay Tia Ella, thank you."

"Have a good evening, Carlos, It seems you will not be needing dinner tonight." Ella said, before leaving the office.

Carlos would never know how Ella thought; there were times he swore that woman was reading his mind.

"Hey Ranger!" Tank said popping his head into his office, "About to head home, you need anything before I leave?"

Carlos shook his head, "Nah, I'm good Tank, head on out, I'm sure Lula is waiting for you."

Tank's face broke out into a smile, "Lula lovin' tonight! I'll see you tomorrow man!"

Tank gave him a quick wave and then closed Carlos's office door shut. Carlos let out the breath he was holding, thank goodness Tank didn't tell him what he and Lula were doing, that woman was rubbing off on Tank, there were some things Carlos really didn't want to know about, and Tank's sex life was one of them. Though, it was nice seeing Tank happy.

Carlos opened the drawer to desk and pulled out a picture of Stephanie. she had been out at the mall with Lula and her other friend Mary Lou. In the picture, she was smiling, having a great time. Lester had snapped the picture of her, printed it out, and gave it to Carlos with a, "You're Welcome."

Today he had been in a quarterly meeting when he had pure panic. It hadn't been his, he had wondered whose panic he was experiencing, and then, it hit him. It was his Babe. He didn't care how he got to her, he needed to get her now, and just like that, he was there in the bond office. The first thing he did was stop Morelli from hitting Heidi, kicked the bastard out the office and then went over to his Babe. The moment he had touched her, everything had felt right. Her panic vanished as did his anxiety. Carlos held on to her tightly. He would never let her go if he had it his way. They did let go moments later, so he could talk to her privately. He had confessed what he had felt inside. The conversation he had with Heidi last night hit him hard. He would have to leave Stephanie, maybe forever. The thought of never seeing her again had clutched so hard at his heart, he had to tell her his feelings. He was glad he did, no more playing around, and teasing, Stephanie would be his woman!

"Yo! Bossman!" Lester exclaimed coming in his office holding his phone up, "Got a call from Connie like 10 minutes ago, apparently, Beautiful , Jeanne and my wife went after that high bond skip, you know the terrorist, honestly, why they let him set bail is something I'll never know.."

"Santos. Please" Carlos sighed looking at his cousin, who looked sheepish.

"Oh, they went after him, and they caught him! They did catch heat for delivering him to the police department on top of the Cayenne, but Jeanne nearly broke the arm of the rookie cop that chewed them out." Lester said breathlessly, "Too bad that woman is a lesbian, I'd swoop her up in a minute!"

"Where are they now?" Carlos asked Lester who fumbled with his phone, apparently her had an App for tracking Rangeman cars.

"Uh...they're at Stephanie parent's house right now, they seem cool to me." Lester said looking up at Carlos, "Uh…bossman, where are you going?"

Carlos had stood up and grabbed the keys that sat in a small basket on his desk, "Going over to have dinner with Babe and them, would you like to join us Lester?"

"I really should say no, but, I think with Jeanne and Grandma Mazur there, I'll be in for quite a show!"

(Hey, did you know the average human body cost roughly $4.90? Cool right?!)

"Aw man, Valarie and the girls are here!" Stephanie said, spotting the van that her oldest sister drove in, parked on the curb that was close to her parent's house, "Great I really didn't want to deal with her too!"

"Now calm down Stephanie, Heidi's here and so is sweet Jeanne, she is such a darling, I should adopt her!" Grandma Mazur gushed, patting Stephanie's arm, "Come on now, before your mother has kittens."

Jeanne smiled a sickly sweet smile and said, "Why Granny, you are too kind!" parking the Cayenne behind the van.

Stephanie's mother was waiting for her on the porch. The sun was starting to set, so the heat had ebbed off some. It smelt as though they were having spaghetti tonight. Hopefully there was enough, Jeanne would probably eat the who pan if she had a chance.

"You didn't tell me you were bringing guest Stephanie, now I'll have set more plates at the table," Helen said looking Heidi and Jeanne over. Jeanne had taken some of Stephanie's clothes and put them on. Right now she was in a pair of jeans, and a strapless blue shirt. She had, loudly, complained that the shirt was too tight on her chest, and the Jeans were too large on her hips.

"Oh don't worry Ma'am, we don't eat that much food!" Jeanne lied through her teeth, "Oi, is that spaghetti I smell?! Sweet! I love spaghetti!"

Jeanne held her arm out for Grandma Mazur and said, "May I escort you into the house, my dear Granny?" earning a squeal from Grandma Mazur.

"You're such a nice Lesbian, you know, to think that people dislike you for lovin' on other women." Grandma Mazur said to Jeanne, as they entered the house.

"She's a Lesbian?!" Helen gasped clutching her neck, "Are you dating her? OH! Diana Swarthz's daughter doesn't date women; she's married to a nice car sales man, and has 3 kids!"

Stephanie felt her eyebrow twitch and she felt Heidi, grab her arm. Heidi motioned for her to look over at the street. Stephanie moaned softly, as Carlos' Turbo pulled up behind the Cayenne.

Heidi smiled softly as Ranger and Lester exited the car, "This is going to be a fun evening, I hope you made enough for everyone!"

( look down, do you see your nose, good, now you'll be looking down at it all the time!)

Frank sat in his recliner staring at the TV screen. He had perfected the art of canceling out the noises that occurred in his house. he knew felt that there were more people in his house. apart from Valarie and his three grandkids. six people, one was his daughter, the other person was his mother in law Edna. It seemed as though that Manoso man was here too, good. He approved of that one. He never approved of Joe Morelli. He took one look at the boy who began stalking his youngest child, and knew something was off with him. He should have kept a better look out on that boy. There had been so many what ifs during his lifetime. What if he hadn't gotten Helen Pregnant two days after he came home from Vietnam, what if he had stepped in to help raise his children more? What if he had been home that night instead of his wife the night Stephanie's virginity had been taken at the Tasty Pastry. He should have been in Stephanie's life. Her life would have been different then. He should have stood up to Helen the night that Stephanie broke her arm from jumping off the roof. His wife had accused him and her mother of filling her head up with crazy things. She then told him to get out of the way of raising the girls, it was her job. Frank had given in that night. It had bit him the ass afterwards. He had lost his voice in a place that was supposed to be his castle. He began to withdraw into himself. He went to work, came home, ate dinner, sat in front of the tv for a few hours and went to sleep. He had repeated this process for nearly 20 years. There were times that he truly felt that this was how it was supposed to be.

"You can always change it Frank, not everything in life is finite."

The noise from the TV lulled into quiet fuzz, as Frank turned in his seat to see the woman from his dreams standing there in the archway. She looked as beautiful as she had the first time he met her as a child. She had the same smile as before, when he lay fatally wounded from a mine, in the rice paddy during the Vietnam War. She had held his hand and sang him the same lullabies his mother had sang to him as a baby. She had raised her voice at him, the night Stephanie lost her virginity. Led her to where Stephanie lay sleeping, in a large bed. Her face covered with tears from all the crying she had done. He had promised his daughter then and there that he would watch over her, no matter what happened. He had broken his promise when Stephanie had married that scum named Dickie Orr. He should have snapped that man's neck in two.

"There is still time for you to redeem yourself Frank." The woman told him, he vaguely wondered if she was speaking this out loud, or if she was sending this Message through ESP.

Reality came crashing down when Edna came into the living room and said, "Frank! Meet Jeanne, she's a lesbian! she's going to tell me all the things lesbians do! And this woman here is Heidi!"

Heidi gave him a soft smile and wave, "it's nice to meet you Frank."

(Ravioli, Ravioli, give me the formuloni!)

"And that's how I got to spend three weeks at a high class resort in Fiji for Free!" Jeanne said to Edna over her plate of pasta, "I had that girl speaking in tongues!"

Dinner that night was the most bizarre Dinner Stephanie ever had. There wasn't enough seating area in the dining room, so the girls were allowed to sit in the living room with their food and watch cartoons. Even with three little bodies out of the way, they were still cramped at the table. Helen was beside herself when Jeanne took half the Spaghetti and piled it on her plate. Helen had thought extra people would be coming over for dinner, so she had doubled the servings, but she hadn't planned on Jeanne eating most of it by herself.

"So that's how you do that stuff!" Edna said leaning closer to Jeanne, "sounds like a hell of a time!"

"It sure was, all the free food, booze and sex I could ever want!" Jeanne said drinking her wine, "now, there was this one fox, I met her in South Africa.."

Stephanie watched Lester lean closer to Jeanne too, with rapt attention. Ugh, he was such a man!

"Can we not have this conversation here?" Valarie asked Jeanne with a frown, "Like anyone wants to hear about two women having sex!"

Jeanne rolled her eyes and mumbled, "At least I get it…" behind her wine glass.

"Jeanne, that was a rude thing to say!" Heidi scolded the woman, "now you apologize to her, or this date is over!"

"Wait, this dinner counts as a date?!" Jeanne sputtered, wine spilling down her front, "For real?!"

Heidi sniffed and said, "It's the other half of that date we had last night."

"That night should not have counted; Stephanie was there too, I couldn't do anything about her!" Jeanne said pointing over to Stephanie.

"Stephanie, you're a lesbian now?!" Grandma Mazur asked her granddaughter, causing Stephanie to blush hard.

Jeanne looked over to Heidi who was next to Stephanie. she had a smile on her face that was hidden behind her tea cup.

"No I'm not a lesbian!" Stephanie denied adamantly, shaking her head, "see!"

Stephanie grabbed Carlos by his collar, and kissed him hard. Jeanne gagged loudly, Lester whooped as did Grandma Mazur. Valarie was green with envy, Helen crossed herself, and all the while Frank kept eating.

"See!" Stephanie said, once she was done, "Not a lesbian!"

"No babe, you aren't a lesbian." Carlos told her with a smile, licking his lips.

"Could you kiss me like that Heidi, my future wife?" Lester asked Heidi, who groaned and shook her head.

Jeanne gave Stephanie a hard look and said, getting up, "That wasn't what you were screaming last night. I had you crying for more"

"Don't listen to her! She's a liar!" Stephanie said her face dark red

"Jeanne…" Heidi warned the woman, who sauntered over to Stephanie, who began to look blue in the face, "Don't do it…you're not going to like the outcome."

"What are you doing Jeanne?" Stephanie wheezed, as Jeanne cupped her cheek, "Jeanne, what are you doing? Stop-"

Jeanne leaned in and kissed her. It was a short kiss, but it felt like an eternity for Stephanie. When Jeanne lifted her head she looked over to Heidi and smirked, "What outcome?"

Stephanie felt her eyebrow twitch, she grabbed the bottle of wine, and dumped it on Jeanne's head, exclaiming "JEANNE!" Jeanne stood in front of Stephanie, now covered in red wine. She blinked, licked some wine off her lips, and said, "Baby, I know you liked that kiss, why you gotta be so mean?!"

"Could you do that again, I just need a few more seconds of you two kissing, it'll be such good material for tonight, when I-"Lester started off.

"Santos!" Carlos growled looking over to Lester who had the nerve to look chastised. "I'll be seeing you at the mats when we get back to RangeMan for such lewd behavior! Oh and Jeanne…don't you ever kiss my Babe again."

Stephanie yelped as Carlos pulled her in for another kiss, this one much more deeper than the last kiss. Jeanne made another gagging noise, and then she sat back down saying, "I see those two finally got it together. Isn't that great Granny?"

"I agree Jeanne, I've always liked the bounty hunter with the package more than Morelli!" Grandma Mazur said looking over to Carlos and Stephanie, "I give you both my blessings! Enjoy each other and screw the world if they have a problem with it!"

"Here! here!" Heidi said, lifting her tea cup up, "Grandma Mazur, you are a smart woman; I guess I really did not need to speak to you, you had it all under control."

"Oh please, you under estimate yourself, I tell you what, if you hadn't come to me Heidi, I would have never taken up strip aerobics!" Grandma Mazur said with a smile, "My husband loved the fact that I could bend over backwards and-"

"TMI GRANNY!" Jeanne said covering her ears, "Please, let's talk about something else now!"

"What are you talking about Mother?" Helen asked Edna, who turned to look at her, "You have never seen this woman before in your life!"

"Have too, she use to visit me in my dreams!" Grandma Mazur said with a smile, "Told me that that most of the women on our side of the family had a third eye!"

"And what is a third eye?" Valarie asked Heidi, who sat silent, drinking her tea.

"The third eye is the ability to see auras and spirits. People with a third eye are easily able to cross into different dimensions and universes. Most people with the gift of the Third eye usually never use it, because their minds are not open enough to tap into it. Third eyes are an incredibly powerful gift. They may see things even I cannot see." Heidi told her airily, "usually the third eye refers to a Buddhist term, meaning one of extreme enlightenment."

"Oh in layman's term, you gotta be opened minded to have a third eye!" Grandma Mazur said, "I think I have a third eye, I see a lot of things, but then again it could be my eyesight going bad! Wouldn't it be a pip if one of you had a third eye?"

"Now stop it with this nonsense! Stephanie Michelle Plum! You bring these people into my house, these two thugs, this crackpot for a woman and this lesbian who has a bottomless pit for a stomach!" Helen snapped standing up, "it's like what I told you when you were 16!"

"It's not bottomless; my stomach is more like a box with a hole in it." Jeanne mumbled softly looking around the table.

"It's a big hole then Gina!" Lester said with a leer, looking a Jeanne who turned red with rage.

"My….name…is…not…GINA!" Jeanne roared standing up, "THAT'S IT! I'm pulling that tongue out!"

"Sit down Jeanne!" Heidi snapped, lifting her head up, "Sit down and be quiet! Lester, you be quiet too!"

Jeanne and Lester were quiet instantly. Heidi turned her head over to Frank. Frank had stopped eating now, but his head was still low, his hand gripping his fork, hard.

"What do you mean mother?" Stephanie asked, grabbing Carlos's hand, happy to feel it squeezing back.

"That night, when you came home from the Tasty Pastry, where you acted like a common whore, and seduced poor Joseph!" Helen said, "I told you that you were a disappointment. You still are one! Why can't you be like Valarie, she's married, stays at home, and has three beautiful girls!"

"Helen! The only reason why Valarie got married to that clown of a lawyer was because she got knocked up!" grandma Mazur snapped standing up, "Stephanie is not a disappointment! She is a strong woman! I don't know where she gets it from, because you sure as hell didn't instill it in her!"

"Stephanie should marry Joseph! It's her only chance at-" Helen started but Stephanie stopped her.

"At what mother? To be a housewife? To be a Morelli wife? To make my husband dinner, and have it on the table by 6?" Stephanie asked, "To wait until I slip up so he can beat me? Like all the Morelli men do to their wives? I don't want to be you mother, that may have been Valarie's dream, but it's not mine!"

"So what is your dream Stephanie, these people?! These thugs? To hang around crazy people like them!" Helen asked pointing to Heidi and Jeanne, causing Jeanne to growl lowly, "I should have never had you, if I had known you would be this much of a disappointment-"

"Like I wanted you for a mother!" Stephanie exclaimed, standing up, "You were an awful mother! All you cared about was how the world saw you! Not us! You! That night when Joe raped me-yes! He raped me, I may not have said no, but I didn't want him, you had called me a whore, you had said so many cruel things to me! And you know what?! I took it! because that's all I could do! Not anymore, you won't try to run my life! I'm over 30! Go live your own damn life!"

"Do you hear your daughter Frank?" Helen gasped, "Yelling at her own mother, as if I had done something to her!"

Frank looked up at Helen and said, "Do us all a favor, and shut the fuck up…."

"Frank! How dare you tell me to-"

"SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP! I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU NIT PICKING, WOMAN!" Frank roared standing up to his full height, "You've done enough damage to our girls' lives! I've been quiet for too damn long, now you sit down and listen to me! You brown beat out youngest child to get your way, and you have given our oldest child bad advice! You wanted Valarie to go back to that fucker Steve, the one who emptied out their bank accounts, abandoned her and his children to go fuck an underage girl! Are you nuts?! And Stephanie, what you have done to Stephanie, you want her to marry a Morelli man! These men who beat their wives, and drink too much, you want her to live that life?!"

"At least he wants her, no one else wants her, she's used goods!" Helen said, causing Heidi to get up, go over to her and slap her. Helen gasped and held her red cheek. Everyone else had open mouths too. Heidi seemed to tower over Helen. Her amber eyes dark with rage.

"I slapped you so Frank did not have to slap you!" Heidi said slowly, "are you that conceited and blind?! You have a wonderful daughter, she has surrounded herself with powerful and trustworthy people. How dare you try to force your will on her! Never have I met someone like you! Stephanie is a wonderful person; I am blessed to have the gift of knowing her! You, you will never have that gift, even if it was you who bore her! You are a pitiful human being!"

Heidi turned and walked out the dining room. Grandma Mazur, Jeanne and Lester got up and left the dining room too, Jeanne took the rest of the spaghetti with her. Stephanie felt Carlos put a hand on her waist, and whisper, "Babe, let's go…"

Frank went over to Stephanie, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry Pumpkin, that I wasn't' there for you sooner." kissing her forehead.

Stephanie hugged him back saying, "You're here now, and that's all that matters to me."

Frank turned to Helen and said, "I'll be sleeping in the den tonight." Before he left the dining room with Stephanie and Carlos.

Helen sat down beside Valarie, who folded her napkin up and said softly, "I wanted to be an artist Mother, remember? I use to ask for sketch books and pencils for drawing. You told me that I shouldn't want to do something like that; that I should settle down and become a housewife…it didn't work out to good for me."

Valarie got up from the Dining room table, and left the room, leaving Helen alone.

(What would you do for a Klondike bar?)

Weatherman Winchester smiled crazily. He had found her! The one that had sealed him away in that hell 5000 years ago! 5000 years was a long time to think, and to plot his revenge. When the man unsealed him, he had given him something that would enhance his powers, that way the HE would be able to burn her! To kill her! He was going to make her suffer in pure agony, just like he did in that prison!

Weatherman Winchester watched the bitch exit a house. she was all alone, good. He walked silently up the deserted street, getting closer and closer to her. Fire danced on his fingertips, he was so excited, he was going to do it! He was going to kill that Great One! And she would be powerless!

He couldn't wait, he had to kill her now! Screw having fun with her death! She would die now! A fireball grew in his outstretched hand, growing bigger, and bigger until it was as big as a beach ball. It was hot, dark blue mixed with flecks of white and black. He chuckled darkly, watching as the Great One went over to car, and then he threw it, right at her! He heard someone yelling, and then BOOM! The car the Great One was at exploded into a blue fireball, along with the Great One.

(OH NO LE GASP!)

Stephanie watched as Valarie, huddled her children up to take them home. Her sister was quiet and her lips were drawn into a line. Jeanne had tried to talked to Heidi, but Heidi had brushed her off and went outside, telling them she was angry and needed a moment to compose herself. Grandma Mazur had come up to Stephanie, and told her how proud she was of her, because she stood up to Helen.

"That woman needed a damn slap to the face, she was lucky I didn't do it, or else I would have given her a black eye!" Grandma Mazur told them causing Frank to groan softly.

"Thanks for defending my honor Grandma Mazur, Jeanne are you done?" Stephanie asked Jeanne, who busy licking the sauce from the bottom of the serving bowl, "We should leave now."

"Yep! I'm done, well it was nice meeting you Frankie, Granny, we should have some fun like tonight again, though with much less drama!" Jeanne told the two before she rounded on Lester, who was trying to grope her bottom, "Touch it, and you will lose that hand, understood?"

Lester nodded his head and said, "I am crystal clear ma'am" putting his hand back down.

"Proud of you babe," Carlos said to Stephanie as they were walking outside on the porch, "You stood up to your mother."

Stephanie smiled and said, "Well, Heidi kept telling me that I should, so I did."

She turned to look at Heidi who was about to get into the Cayenne. Stephanie faltered, seeing orange and red smoke coming from Heidi's dress pocket. It was thick now, not like this morning when it was a faint wisp. It was flowing out of her pocket, and down the road. The smoke stopped and wrapped around a man in a neon orange suit, with wild brown hair and dark green eyes. Oh my god. Stephanie watched as the Man formed a fireball in his hand and throw it.

"Heidi look out it's weatherman win-!" Stephanie had started to scream, but it was too late. The fire ball hit the Cayenne and it blew up into a blue flaming ball. Heidi had been right beside it too!

"HEIDI!"

(DUN DUN DUN!)
