"I think it's obvious, don't you?" Gary chuckled.
"Magenta, get your clothes back on and wait outside. I'll deal with you when we get home." Riff Raff spat at her.
She jumped up and quickly did as he asked. As she walked past him, he glared angrily at her. Tears streamed down her face, he'd obviously got the wrong idea, but how was she going to explain this?
"Hey, we have unfinished business. Magenta, get back here." Gary shouted.
Magenta looked from her brother to her supervisor.
"Wait outside." Riff Raff repeated.
Magenta walked over the door, now lying on the floor, and outside. She tried to block out the loud crashes and bangs that came from inside. She turned her back on the house and prayed Riff Raff wasn't getting hurt.
Moments later, he emerged, his nose bleeding and a cut across his cheek. The house was silent. Gary was dead, she knew it.
Without looking at her, he grabbed her arm and dragged her back off towards their house. He'd snapped again, it was obvious. She shook all over, would this time be as bad as the last? Or would it be worse?
Riff Raff threw the door open and shoved Magenta inside. She stumbled into the hallway and followed Riff Raff into the living room.
"Riff Raff, I can explain. I –"
He held up a hand to silence her.
"Every month, you'd disappear for one night, sometimes the whole day. I've always believed your excuses, until now. It's obvious what you were up to, now that I think about it. I was so blind." He said calmly.
This only frightened Magenta more, he was dangerous when he was like this. He could blow at any moment and she wouldn't know when until he did.
"Riff, if you just let me explain." She begged.
He shook his head.
"I've had enough of your excuses." He sighed.
"Let me explain." Magenta shouted.
She shouldn't have done that. Riff Raff's face turned purple and his eyes flashed dangerously. She shrank back into the wall and watched as he pulled his hand back as far as it would go.
