Amanda looked at her sons and smiled….she showed them to the living room and told them to sit
"How do we always get involved in these situations" whispered Eric to Jimmy as they sat down on the plush pink living room couch
"She's crazy….look at the facts…" said Jimmy
Amanda came back into the living room before Jimmy could tell him
"What are you two talking about?" asked Amanda
"Nothing…just waiting for you" said Eric quickly
"I am so happy that you boys called me…now we can be a real family" she said
Jimmy looked at Eric, he hoped that he was coming up with a plan to get them out of there before something bad happened. Eric looked around the room and noticed that there were baby pictures all over the place, from where he was sitting he noticed that the picture was not complete it was missing someone
"Where's our father?" Eric asked suddenly
"The cemetery" she said happily
"He's dead? For how long" Eric asked
"What is with all these questions?" she asked
"I think it's our right to know" said Jimmy
"No more questions…" she said getting up
"I thought that this was a meeting…we need to know the truth" said Eric
"You have a big mouth and I think its time for you to quiet down" she said
Amanda pulled them both up by their shirts and pushed them down the hallway towards a bedroom that had a queen-sized bed, a closet, a bathroom, a dresser, and not much else
"I knew that woman was stupid enough to fall for my poor routine…I guess I really am a great actress "she said laughing as the shoved them inside and locked the door
"Great...now what?" said Jimmy sitting on the bed
"I don't know….why do I always have to have all the answers?" asked Eric frustrated
Jimmy shot his brother a cold stare and continued to look at the wall, he had no idea how they were going to get out of this mess or if he and Eric were ever going to have a normal life, one where things actually made sense. He felt this mattress go down as Eric sat and learned against the headboard, he started at the ceiling and the moments of silence felt like an eternity before anyone said anything. Knowing that they weren't getting anywhere, Eric reached over and placed his hand on Jimmy's shoulder.
"Listen…" Eric started as Jimmy turned towards him "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you, I'm just as confused as you are"
"It's okay…I'm sorry to too" said Jimmy smiling "lets see if we can get out of here"
Jimmy got up from the bed and wiggled the door handle, he quickly realized that a door was barricaded with a chair
"Well there goes that plan" said Jimmy "see if there is anything we can break down the door with…I'll check the closet"
Jimmy ran over to the small closet and found nothing of use while Eric checked under the bed…he didn't finding anything useful to help them with the door but he did find something of interest. Eric pulled out a large dusty box and sat it on the bed…
"Take a look at this" said Eric as Jimmy sat don't
Eric opened the box and pulled a couple of newspaper clippings out
"No way….look at this" said Eric to his brother
"Twin boys, born to Amanda and William both 16," Jimmy read out loud
Eric looked at the birth announcement, it was nothing like the ones that he had seen in newspapers, the last names were scratched out
"I guess she really wasn't kidding about being an actress…" said Jimmy taking out the awards and trophies
They flipped through a lot of the information that was in the box, until they arrived at a photograph that seemed to be of them, noticing that their father's face wasn't scratched out they finally got a good look at him
"Does he look familiar to you?" asked Jimmy
"No…I don't think so…why does he to you?" asked Eric
"I think I saw him at Belle Reve…" said Jimmy
"That can't be...he's dead...that's what she said" Eric said
"Maybe that's what she wanted us to think…." Said Jimmy
Eric was about to respond to his brother's theory when he heard a knock on the door, quickly and quietly as possible he shoved everything back in the box and threw it under the bed
"Boys…are you being good in there? I don't hear any noise" said Amanda in a happy voice "its time for dinner"
Eric and Jimmy looked at each other as she opened the door and smiled at them, she led them down to her dining room. It was at that time that Eric really got to have a good look at her, he noticed scars that might have been from botched plastic surgery attempts or something worse.
Olsen House-That Night
Julie wondered around her house organizing the rooms and putting away anything that wasn't in its place, she reached her son's room and saw that Eric's belongings were still there from the previous night and that nothing seemed out of place. After getting into a fight with her husband early about the boys meeting their mother, the house was silent except for the tapping of Kyle's keyboard in his office. Noticing that it was getting late she wondered if the boys were at Eric's
"Hi Rebecca, this is Julie are the boys there?" she asked nicely
"No…of course not…aren't they at their mother's" she asked frustrated
"Yes...I thought they would be back by now…sorry to disturb you" said Julie
They both hung up the phone and sighted…
Amanda's House-That Same Night
After finishing their dinner and the hope of them getting out dwindling, she led the boys back to the room that they were in...locked the door and barricaded it with the chair.
"That was a nice break…we got to see the outside world" said Jimmy
"I hope for not the last time" said Eric looking out into the darkness
"It won't be don't worry" said Jimmy
Eric walked over the dresser and opened it, he noticed that there were two sets of pajamas in it…he threw one at his brother and walked into the bathroom to change. After changing Eric brushed his teeth and went back into the bedroom.
"Maybe we're over thinking this but….its like she have everything planned out" said Eric climbing in bed
"It would seem that way…wouldn't it?" said Jimmy as he walked into the bathroom to brush his teeth
"Good night" said Jimmy coming back into the room and climbing into bed
"Night" said Eric
Eric lay in bed unable to sleep he tried to figure out a way...anyway get out of there. Suddenly he got an idea…not a intelligent one but one he hoped would work either way. He
"Come on…we don't have much time" said Eric shaking his brother awake
Jimmy and Eric quietly made their way to the bedroom door….forgetting that the chair was there Eric yanked on the doorknob making a lot of noise. Amanda reached the door and yanked the chair away, as soon as she opened the door she started screaming….
"This wasn't well thought out was it?" Jimmy said
"No…not really just go!" said Eric
"Get back here you devil children!" screamed Amanda running towards the front door as Eric and Jimmy reached it
Having no idea what to do next…and fearing for their lives Eric looked around for something anything that he could possibly use to save them. Without even time to react, Jimmy and Eric heard a single shot and they saw their mother drop to the floor and the butler putting the gun into her hands and taking away the napkin that covered it. Jimmy, Eric, and the butler ran outside as Amanda laid there dying….
"Wait….what do you know?" screamed Eric when they got outside
"Your father is very much alive…..after you were adopted your mother convinced the doctors he was hearing screaming of people being beaten…there weren't any...it was the medication" the butler said getting into the limo
"Medication? What was it?" asked Jimmy
Before he drove off the butler shouted the name of the medication, Jimmy knew that it was the same one that they had given him to "take care of the voices" he now knew that he wasn't crazy…his mother was because of all the things she did…he wondered how to real life her acting really was…
"Come on!" screamed Eric
Jimmy ran towards the car as Eric got in…somehow he had managed to get the keys without her seeing. When Jimmy got in the car Eric raced down the driveway into the darkness and made his way to anywhere that wasn't there….
"Where are we going?" asked Jimmy panicked
"I don't know…we are just going!" said Eric
