If It Wasn't For You Meddling Kids
It was wrong.
That was the thought that pestered Andrew as he paced his bedroom, fuming. Only a week ago, his mother had informed him reluctantly that Faith was, in fact, an escaped convict, who was supposed to be in prison for murder. Andrew had refused to listen to his mother's feeble excuses for Faith. Instead, he had tried to scream reason into her and, when that failed, plot Faith's destruction - or, at least, her removal from their lives.
So that was what he was doing now, a week later, as he paced his room. Faith was due to arrive back to Wisteria Lane today and he was planning on making her life living hell. There was no way he could just let her strut into their lives and corrupt his mother. Throughout the week, he had been trying to get Danielle's co-operation but she was harder to convince than he originally thought. Sure, she was horrified to learn about who Faith really was but, somehow, trying to manipulate a murderer wasn't very high up on her bucket list. Still, she was not the brightest spark in the box and Andrew felt there was still hope. It was a good thing too as his plan majorly relied on his sister's help and, without her, he would be back at square one. His train of thought was interrupted by a knock at the door. Andrew knew immediately who it was and anger pulsed through him at an alarming quantity. Suddenly, Danielle hurried into his room, her face one of alarm.
"It's her, isn't it?" she said coldly but with a slight quiver of fear. Andrew nodded, his face one of sheer bitterness. For once, they were united in the face of a common enemy. They slowly made their way to the stairs and descended down a few steps before stopping at the sight they saw. Their mother was holding Faith in a tight embrace, hugging and kissing her for all she was worth. Faith accepted the embrace with a bemused but happy look on her face. Andrew and Danielle looked at each other and, for the first time, Andrew saw the hard bitterness of his expression reflected in his sister's. She began to speak harshly, under her breath.
"Okay, you were right. Let's take this bitch down."
