Alicia's Revenge: Chapter Four
Faith hung up the phone. Fear had paralyzed her. Her breathing had become rapid, her chest heaving in and out, in an attempt to get air. Her worst fears were coming true. She always dreamt it, but it was a nightmare. This time it was coming true.
She decided to call Bosco on his cell phone. She didn't want to upset him or the kids, but they needed to come home imediately.
She paced around the kitchen as she listened to the ring on his phone. " Pick up. Dammit, pick up Bos". she muttered. On the eighth ring, he finally picked up.
" House of love. What can I get ya" his deep voice said.
" Bosco. You need to come home right now. Don't stop for anything. Just take the kids and don't let them out of your sight." Faith said breathlessly, twisting the phone cord in her hand.
So much for the calm approach, but when she heard his voice, panic washed over her again. She knew how upset he would be.
She could hear the alarm in his voice as he talked to her. " What's wrong? Faith? Tell me what's wrong" he pleaded.
His stomach felt like a chunk of ice. He knew. He could tell by the way she spoke about the kids. It had something to do with Alicia.
He told her to hang on. Turning, he covered the phone with his hand. " Ok guys. Daddy just has to talk for a minute. You can sit on the bench, okay?" he asked the twins.
The duo didn't exactly feel like sitting on the bench, but did so, grudgingly. They sat, but they made as much noise as they could to distract their father. They swung their legs back and forth and made silly faces at each other. They both began to bark like puppies and then kitties. They loved any kind of animal.
Bosco listened as Faith told him about the conversation she had had with Etta Proctor. His face drained all of it's color. " You mean she's here? Maybe? What kind of security system is that"? he shouted into the phone. He felt a hand on his leg. Liv was looking up at him. She was scared. She had never heard her father yell like that before.
" Daddy?" she asked, her little lip starting to pout.
Bosco realized what he had done and knelt down beside her. He hung up the phone after telling Faith that they'd be right home, and gathered her into his arms. " Daddy's sorry, baby" he said, stroking her hair. " Daddy's not mad at you. Ok, let's get home to mommy and then you're gonna go stay with unlce Ty and aunt Sasha for a little while". he said, standing up and taking both kids hands.
" Yay!" Cried Logan, grinning up at his dad. " We go on gogo"? he asked
Bosco shook his head. " I don't know, buddy. I'm not sure if uncle Ty has his motorbike out yet. We'll see".
As they started for home, Bosco knew that it was only the beginning. Color his and Faith's days black, until Alicia was put back in jail, or better yet, dead.
The freedom that he always expected and took for granted was gone. No longer could they walk the street and feel safe. Every breath they took would be a reminder that sooner or later, she would find them. They just had to be ready for her this time. Bosco decided that he would kill her if he had to. Nobody was gonna mess with his family.
As they walked away, there was a movement in the bushes. Alicia was doubled over, laughing. She was laughing so hard, she was shaking. Her shoulders were hunched over as she clutched at her stomach to stop herself from making any noise. She loved seeing Maurice get upset. He was sure gonna be upset when he saw what she had planned for his lovely wife and daughter. But before she did that, she needed to pay a visit to her nice friend, Rose.
