Unatomic Stacey
Chapter 18: What to do?
(Two Weeks later at the Carmichael Residence at Noon)
"Are you sure?" Mrs. Carmichael asked urgently, "that my daughter's under the control of the LIVE diamond?"
"Yes," X5 responded, "and from the knowledge that I have in my data bank of that diamond, besides making you extremely evil it also erases and or warps your memory completely," he said.
"But you said that she recognized you X5," Bart spoke.
"Yes," X5 confirmed, "so the diamond must've been unable to complete the job."
"But a lot of people got killed," Bart pointed out, "and those smoke demons didn't help," he added.
"They helped kill people," Atomic Tiffany spoke up, "I'm in a wheelchair thanks to that bitch!" she cried angrily.
"Don't call my daughter a bitch in my house," Mrs. Carmichael said dangerously.
"Please give Mrs. Carmichael the proper respect," G911 said formally.
"Hmph," Atomic Tiffany said and crossed her arms over her chest.
"It has to be her Grandfather," Mrs. Carmichael told them, "she went to him after recently finding out that I had lied to her about a private family matter," she said uncomfortably.
"And what was that?" Atomic Tiffany demanded.
"It's private," Mrs. Carmichael said through gritted teeth.
"Not in this investigation!" Atomic Tiffany shouted, "you tell me right now!"
"How dare you!" Mrs. Carmichael exploded and jumped to her feet, "I will not be ordered in my house!" she shouted.
"Mrs. Carmichael please…" Bart started to say in an attempt to calm her down.
"NO!" Mrs. Carmichael refused, "I don't care about your injured precious Atomic Betty or your dead comrades!" she shouted, "just get the hell out of my house!" she ordered.
Bart, Atomic Tiffany, X5 and G911 looked at the infuriated Mrs. Carmichael. There was no way that they were going to be able to talk to her now.
"Okay Mrs. Carmichael," Bart said respectfully, "we'll leave."
"But…" Atomic Tiffany started to say.
"Please do not cause further problems," X5 said immediately.
"Yeah, what are you stupid?" G911 spat.
"Don't call me stupid!" Atomic Tiffany shouted angrily.
"Just get out," Mrs. Carmichael said to them.
"Okay," Bart responded, "Good Afternoon Mrs. Carmichael," he said and turned to leave.
"Goodbye," Mrs. Carmichael said to him, "and next time you return," she said, "leave the crippled bitch in her hole," she told him.
"Crippled bitch!" Atomic Tiffany shouted angrily.
"That's what I called you, you crippled whore!" Mrs. Carmichael exploded, "do I have to throw you out or maybe I should go and get in contact with your pimp!"
Everyone else gasped.
Atomic Tiffany sniffled but held head high.
"I'm not a whore or a bitch," Atomic Tiffany said softly, "and this wheelchair is just a temporary," she added.
"Just get out of my house," Mrs. Carmichael said frankly.
Bart, Atomic Tiffany, X5 and G911 left silently.
(Meanwhile at a Villa in France)
Dertah nibbled on a pastry as she looked out of a window at the lush countryside. No one had found out about her temporary curb of bloodlust after attacking Atomic Betty and X5. Temporary as in she saw Atomic Tiffany and Glenissa at different points and dealt her own brand of punishment to each. Plus she killed some other people she didn't care about.
"Hey," Demi said as she entered Dertah's bedroom and closed the door behind her.
"Hi," Dertah said softly and turned to her, "how's Lord…"
"You don't have to call him that right now, you know," Demi told her, "unless that LIVE diamond's made you into a total suck up," she added.
"I'm no suck up," Dertah said darkly.
"Good to know," Demi said simply and plopped herself on the side of Dertah's bed, "bouncy," she said approvingly.
Dertah laughed and continued eating my pastry.
"Do you regret the old man's decision?" Demi asked me minutes later, "making you into what you are?" she asked.
"He's King Carmichael to you," Dertah reminded Demi formally.
"Don't give me that," Demi said loudly, "I know that you're able to fight that diamond Stacey."
"Never call me that again!" Dertah exploded, "I'm not her!" she screamed angrily.
"Then why are you crying?" Demi asked her.
Dertah touched her face. Tears were flowing down like rain.
"What is wrong with me?" Dertah asked fearfully.
"Your old self is still in there," Demi told Dertah, "I might hate most people," she admitted, "but I learned to like Stacey," she revealed, "and I betrayed her," she added guiltily.
"I forgive you," Dertah said suddenly.
"You're not her," Demi said sadly.
"But I remember her," Dertah insisted, "isn't that enough?" she asked.
Demi sadly shook her head.
"Doesn't matter anyway," Demi said with a sigh and rose to her feet, "I'm just glad I never got totally enveloped by that thing," she said and left.
"Totally enveloped…?" Dertah started to ask but Demi had already left.
I wonder what that was about?
