Chapter 5.
The First Phone Call
Matt and I were just talking in the upstairs rock room (a room where I have all my parties at) when the first phone call came from the person who would make my life and everyone around me lives a living hell.
(Phone ringing in the distance room somewhere anyway.)
Mandy: (yelling) I'LL GET IT!
Ice: (yelling back) OKAY!
Mandy: (on phone) Hello?
Caller: Is this Mandy?
Mandy: Yes it is. Who is this?
Caller: So did you find Matt?
Mandy: Yes. How did you get this number?
Caller: Don't worry about that. What you should worry about is what's going to happen next.
(Caller hangs up and I put the receiver down slowly.)
Ice: Who was it?
Mandy: That's what I would like to know.
Ice: What did they say?
Mandy: They asked if I've found Matt yet and I asked how they got this number and they said I shouldn't worry about that but what's going to happen next.
Ice: What do you think that means?
Mandy: I wish I could tell you that.
Ice: But the thing is nobody knows this number but us and Vince and the people with the bank and stuff like that.
Mandy: Yeah Paula I know that. It's what I can't figure out. No one out of business knows the number.
Ice: Yeah it's weird. What did they sound like?
Mandy: Like a woman. She had a real soft feathery voice.
Ice: That's so weird.
Jeff: What's everybody doing in here?
Ice: Should we tell them?
Mandy: Not Matt.
Jeff: Tell us-me what?
Mandy: That I just got some weird phone call.
Jeff: What did they say?
Mandy: They asked about finding Matt.
Jeff: Anything else?
Mandy: I asked how they got this number and they told me not to worry about it but I should worry about what's going to happen next.
Jeff: Whoa, we can't tell Matt.
Matt: Tell me what?
(We all looked at each other.)
Matt: What's going on?
Mandy, Ice, Jeff: Nothing.
Matt: Something's going on. I'm not stupid, something's going on and I want to know. NOW!
Mandy: I want to tell you but I can't.
Matt: Why? Baby, you can tell me anything and you know it.
Mandy: They said I shouldn't worry about how they got this number but what's going to happen next.
Matt: Oh my God! You can't stay here. It's not safe.
Jeff: She is safe don't worry about it.
Matt: No she's not safe because we don't know who this person is or what it's capable of.
Jeff: It's a woman and she's safe, believe me, Matt.
Mandy: Matt I'm safe don't worry okay. If they wanted to do something then she would.
Matt: But what if she does it when you don't expect it?
Mandy: Matt, don't worry. She's probably just some kid doing prank calls.
Matt: Okay. Okay, you're right. Jeff, we better go.
Jeff: You're right. Come on.
Ice: I better go too.
Matt: You don't live here?
Ice: No, I don't.
Matt, Jeff, and Ice walked to the door followed by me.
Matt: Kiss good-night?
Mandy: Yeah.
I gave Matt a light kiss on the cheek.
Matt: That's all I get?
Mandy: (whispering) for now anyway.
Matt: (whispering) lucky me?
Mandy: Yeah…..
Matt: (leans down and whispers in my ear) I love you.
Mandy: I know. I love you too.
Jeff: Come on lover boy.
Ice: See ya, Minda.
