Peridot watched from one of the upstairs windows as Debbie 'quietly' argued with a large human man. A quick scan revealed that she was livid with high stress levels despite her relatively calm exterior.
Without a word, the green alien detached one of her fingers and sent it floating out of the room. Quickly, Peridot maneuvered the appendage through the space beneath the door and began transmitting the conversation to her own ears as well.
"You promised that the mortgage would stay fixed! That was the agreement!" Debbie scowled with a tone of fury laced into her words.
The large man shrugged, "My sincerest apologies-."
"Oh don't you dare give me that load of shit Mr. Madruid." Debbie seethed.
"Look. I promised your father to keep the mortgage level. He's been dead for nearly twenty years and since your mother's disappearance I've had no reason to keep that promise." He frowned.
"I'm still here! I'm still a member of that family!"
"Hardly! Your real mother was a street-crawling piece of trash! They isolated her for a reason! They shouldn't of taken her shit-spawn into their home after she died!" Mr. Madruid shouted and gestured to Debbie.
"Don't you DARE talk about MY family in such a way!" Debbie thundered and Peridot raised a brow at the human's volume. Only Jasper had ever gotten close to that sort of enraged level sound.
However, things only got worse. Peridot winced as a resounding slap echoed sharply through the audio receiver.
"You have until Tuesday."
With that said, fading footsteps crunched away and were soon replaced by the squeal of tires before Mr. Madruid peeled out of the dirt driveway and down the road.
Quickly retracting her finger from the scene Peridot took the stairs two at a time to find Debbie in the middle of slamming the door shut. An angry red mark marred the woman's upper left cheek.
"Who was that human?" Peridot asked as Debbie made her way to the kitchen.
"A bad man. And one of the humans this world would not care about if they were wiped from it."
