Chapter 30: Peter Walker further Cleans-Up House
<><><>
IT WAS EARLY SATURDAY morning, and the South African housekeeper was preparing breakfast for the Walkers’ household. The Ikea-table in the dining-area was empty. In the kitchen, Nana was whipping a dozen eggs in a bowl and intended to make Frittata with bacon, spinach and Mozzarella cheese…
… Nana was about to cook the egg-dish on the-stove, ‘when’ she heard a car’s horn at the front gate – and left the kitchen. Even Paul (… who was ready-For brekkie) heard that someone had arrived, and he wheelchaired outside To-act on his-curiosity…
The teen saw Nana opening the front-door ~ while he peeked-Out the nearest-window to see a grey-Toyota… and his jaw-dropped when he saw his-girlfriend alighting from the backseat…
‘… huh… Jane Went-Out Last night…!!?’
<>
At the closed front-gate, Jane was saying goodbyes to Maggi, Alicia-&-Uncle Chin. They had sent the Last-night’s surprise ‘visitor’ to-Chinatown back-To the-Walkers (… where the-Group had stopped-Over ‘earlier’ for some Chinese brekkie in Chinatown…
… where Jane Ordered her all-time Favourite, Taiwanese Stinky-Tofu ~ but the ‘womb’ wanted Char-siew bao Instead…
… so, the hungry Blind-Jane Ate both the orders-Of tofu-&-meat-buns…
Just as the electronic-gate Opened – the old-woman skuttled to Jane… with the going-Away Toyota’s occupants waving to Both-Of-them. Nana was ‘still’ flabbergasted, and she asked…
“… Jane, where ‘did’ you Go…!?”
The anxious, visually-impaired tween held housekeeper’s arm and replied…
“… I’m ‘very-Sorry,’ Nana – it Won’t Happen again ~ I Snuck-Out Last night from the-House … and Got an-Uber, and went-to Chinatown to-Talk to Maggi…”
“… you have a Mobile-phone… and so-Does she – you-Both Could-Facetime ~ why-On earth, you Go-Out at night when it’s Dangerous with Them-zombies Going-about…!?”
“… I’m sorry-Nana ~ it’s a Blind-Girls’-Thing, and I ‘had’ TO-BE with Mags… It won’t happen Again, I Promise – Please Don’t-Tell Mrs Walker, Ok-Nana…!?”
… Jane Had-Forgotten that the ex-Principal Harris Had-Spent the Friday-night Together with them-Too (… as-per Caroline’s request) …
Mrs Groundwater was ‘quiet’ and didn’t-Reply ~ while the girl walked-Ahead to-the house (… directed by her partially-Battery-Charged Boyyo). The pregnant girl ‘seemed’ TO-BE cheerful in-her mood that-Morning, Nana Observed…
But-Jane ~ felt guilty-Instead… ‘About’ her Lies-To COVERUP her supe-Identity…
<>
In the Living-room, Paul was ‘waiting’ for them… he heard Nana’s voice Outside-questioning Jane…
“… how ‘did’ you-Get the door’s Security-Code…?”
Paul saw his-girlfriend coming-From the front-Door à wearing ‘Different-clothes’ that was ‘not’ her (… which were ‘tight’). Jane replied Nana… while she Looked at the-Blue-glow ahead-Of-Her…
“… Pauly, Gave-me the Codes day’s-Ago ~ my-Boyyo keyed it-In, last-night… and Called an Uber to GO-TO Chinatown…”
The boyfriend ‘noticed’ that Jane was Lying-To the Old-woman… cos’ he Hadn’t Given the security-Code to her… (Jane too Had-Been Homebound for 4 days… and, Couldn’t-have a ‘reason’ to wander-Off by-Herself in-the-dark) …
‘… so… you Used the Bedroom window For-your WAY-OUT, and flew-Over to Chinatown ~ but Why…!?’
Jane lingered a second… without acknowledging Paul, then she walked to the dining-table…
… Paul still-was ‘visually’ dazzled by the bright Pink-&-Yellow t-shirt she wore ~ with the 7 faces of the Boyband, BTS… with Korean calligraphed-wording (… which the boyfriend assumed ‘belonged-To’ her-BBF, Alicia) …
… but it was-tight on-Her ~ cos’ Alicia wore-S-size, while Jane was M-sized… that made her boobs ‘bigger’ like the teenager-Jane from PERTHLAND, who Had Big-Racks…
Paul reveries ‘poofed’ when Nana Asked-her…
“… what Happened to your arms -&-knees… did you Fall…!?”
Only-then the boyfriend ‘noticed’ the several Band-Aids plastered on her-elbows and her-right Knee. Sitting down, Jane chuckled and replied…
“… yes, clumsy-Me… I fell ~ but Auntie-Robin ‘cleaned-&-fixed’ Me Later…”
Jane was glad that her cuts-&-scraped were resulted by Falling-On bushes (… with Piper à when the-Red-Portal ‘took-Off’) – and ‘not’ Of-scratches-&-bites’ by the Zombies-in the Wilson-Residence Battle-Earlier….
Paul parked himself beside-Jane at the IKEA Table…
… he remembered ‘after’ attending Ali-&-Mags’ 13th birthday ~ Jane Called the-Wong-sisters’ mother ~ as Auntie…
Nana Asked…
“… Jane, are You hungry…?”
… she Nodded… as she Doesn’t Mind a 2nd-Breakfast…
‘… my-piggy Apo would Love-that too…”
The moment the housekeeper Left to the Kitchen ~ Jane grabbed her-Boyfriend’s arm, and spoke Enthusiastically-&-narrated that she Went on a Mission to Fight-Zombies à that was Led by-Hajji, Who-Came to Blood-sacrifice her baby-brother @the Wilson-residence…
The passive-Paul Listened, but Felt Left-Out… cos’…
* He Should-Be the One-to ‘avenge’ Hajji à ‘after’ what his-Horde ‘did’ to his-Inspector-mother…
‘… damn! My-A**-Luck… I Should-have Been there ~ Hajji escaped! Here I am cooped-Up in my bl*** windowless bedroom à WITH MOM’s Boyfriend in-the-Same House ~ keeping an-Eye on us-Both… and we CAN’T BE The-protectors Of-Perth… at-Least me ~ Lucky-Jane Got-Out TO GO-Solo Mission-Last night…’
* She told him about Jane2.0 who-Was the-Daughter Of-SIMY (… the-AI which Jane ‘owned’ in the-OTHHER-PERTH ~ destroyed-Dead in Treeton-Farm fieldtrip à but went to the Cloud-&-Resurrected…
‘… damn! SIMY too is now-Upgraded by Venus’ dad, Jupiter… ooo…what a digital-Evolution à from a-Learning-Device Into a-Hologram, and into a-gynoid Fembot à who-Can ‘make’ Clone-Copies Of-Itself… a daughter with Jane’s Likeness… what-Else is ‘new’? SIMY too is the-Right-Hand Digital-person in Venus’ New-Religion… and, Got-A-Seat in the Cousil-Of-12 Table ‘representing’ AI-sentients, TO-BE ‘equal’ to-Humans… even-Though they Can’t-Be Trusted à I’ve seen Ex-Machina the movie, and 2001 Space- Odyssey too… Those-AIs Betray at the-End…’
Jane was narrating ‘more’ battle-stories that she fought along with Jane2.0, Jaheem and Piper to Paul, when he noticed Tom coming down the stairs… and hushed his-blind girlfriend…
… Tom Harris was dressed-Up to leave that-morning… Paul saw him Coming to the dining-table…
‘… wearing his suit-&-tie on a-Saturday ~ is he going for an-Interview…?’
They greeted their former-Principal… who waved-&-nodded back ~ he didn’t join the breakfast-table but instead, Tom went to the kitchen. Jane ‘freaked-Out’ as ~ if-Nana Would-Tell him à that Jane Had-Gone to Chinatown, and spent the Night ‘there’…
… the-anxious, seated-tween recalled Last-night, after the ‘successful’ mission, she Flew-back ‘when’ her GPS-Boyyo’s was Battery-Flat-out – and like an-F1 driver… se had to Make a-Pitstop to Battery charge in-Chinatown. Jane got-into an open window to access into Maggi’s bedroom, to WAKE HER-UP – the-Time was 1:48 AM…
The visually-impaired Chinese girl was ‘shocked’ that it ‘was’ Jane… in the pitched-dark bedroom, the 2 Blind-girls communicated. Maggi ‘was’ told by her supe-BFF that ~ she was-Coming from a mission-Of ‘killing’ hundreds-Of-zombies in her-Backyard à and, had 2-Request:
* To Recharge Boyyo… since Maggi ‘STILL’HAD the-Kimura Star’s AI-Charger-pod Unit … for-Her stolen-SIMY (… by Albert-Wang/Ken-Chan)
Maggi got-Off the bed, and plugged Boyyo ‘into’ the-Charging-pod… while Jane was stripping her clothes ~ feeling ‘dirty’ splatted-in zombie blood (… in her Upstairs Encounter-Killings ‘outside’ Samuel’s bedroom). Knowing by her birthday-Visit to the Wong-Sister’s house that Maggi’s bedroom had an attached bathroom, with a BATHTUB…
… Jane wanted:
* To Bathe to Clean herself ~ before returning to the house of the Inspector-of-Perth
She had taken-Off her soiled warm-jacket and her nightgown… kicking-it into a-pile. Wearing her-undergarments Jane was Led by the Chinese girlfriend to the bathroom – inside, it was fitted by an automatic-Light that went-ON (… Robin wanted it, despite it wasn’t ‘necessary’ for the visually-impaired daughter) …
While the hot-water filled the-bubble Bathtub – Maggi Heard her supe-Visually-impaired friend chattering About the mission-Of-Wilson Residence à where Piper was There-Too…
… Maggi was delighted that Her-animal spirit’s Presence~ her Protective ‘Lang-ren’ had saved-her Life ‘before’ from the-’Monstrous’ Hippo-sized Fu-Dogs (… Asmodeus’ Hellhounds …
The naked blonde-tween stepped-&-sat into the tepid-warm water ~ her whole-body tingled and she stopped talking, as she felt the Calming sensation in her-senses of the warmth on her-body ~ then… she felt the smarting from her elbows and right-knee…
… Jane recalled the Fall into the-bushes when she Was-Knocked-Off from the Red-Portal (… which Hajji-Escaped). But Jane was glad for the minor battle scar-injuries à NOT scratched-Or-bitten by the Undead – and TO-BE hospitalised Like Paul’s inspector-mother…
… that would-Be the Last-thing Jane Would-Want à to be caught when she was-On her supe-Missions à and, BE-Quarantined with Caroline in the same-Hospital… bulls***ing Her-Way Of-her-Away ‘whereabout’ to the inquisitive inspector-of-Perth…
Jane ‘ignored’ her-injuries and continued chattering about her-gallant mission… Maggi on-the-Other hand… felt-Inspired of Jane’s handicaps, despite was-Blind-Of-sight à ‘was’ Representing disabled-people Doing Extraordinary things (… whether supe-Or-not) …
The tween spoke-About the-ally, Jane2.0 (… ‘who’ was-SIMY’s daughter) ~ the intrigued visually-impaired Maggi sat on-a plastic-stool… and was sponging her BFF’s back and later, shampooed Jane’s afro-blonde Hair…
… both the blind-girls Went-on chatting-&-babbling in the bathroom for more than an hour à the Time was 3.13 AM…
… when they ‘returned’ to dark-bedroom ~ Maggi ‘offered’ her spare-clothes that would ‘fit’ her BFF’s bigger-Caucasian ‘frame’ (… she found ‘hand-me-down’ of Alicia’s t-shirts) … where her-Twin sister was ‘bigger’ than-Maggi…
When Jane tried the t-shirt, and Found-it a-Bit tight… her boobies Got-bigger cos’ she Was-Pregnant. So, she asked her ‘intuitive’ BFF…
“… Mags, am I 6-month’s pregnant…? According to SIMY’s daughter à I FISHING-AM! She told that-Venus had put a White-magic Spell-On me So-that Nobody can ‘see’ I’m 6-months preggo-By Looking-at-Me…!?”
The Chinese-girl was puzzled, and touched Jane’s ‘flat’ tummy, replying…
“… white-magic…!? Is ‘that’ possible…!?”
Maggi Had detected Jane Was-Pregnant (… a couple-Of-months ‘before’ the school’s pregnancy-Ambush Test Last-week…
Boyyo-On the Charging-pod interrupted…
“… Jane, I’m Semi-Charged 25%... I Can Take-You Home-Now. It’s Coming-To 3:30 AM… we Must hurry ~ it Would-Be Dawn-Soon…”
Jane ignored her-AI device…
“Please-Don’t Interrupt, Boyyo ~ We’re still talking!”
Both the girls sat-On the Queen-sized bed, as Jane ranted her ‘distrust’ of both ~ Mother-Venus and her ‘former-AI’ SIMY (… although the-BFF was going-On Listening Jane’s repeated-rant heard when they facetimed ~ but Boyyo was Listening-in) …
Boyyo analysed Jane’s backstory that She ‘kept’ secret à that Venus ‘tricked’ Paul when he Took the-Apple from Kerubiel à and Jane ate the-Apple ~ and the Immaculate-Conception ‘transpired’ à and as a-Virgin… Jane was ‘pregnant’ with a demi-goddess of the Roman-Gods’ pantheon à the-Child-Of Apollo…
Jane cried that she was ‘robbed’ Of-her-Innocence, when her-supernatural Allies from the-OTHER PERTH Had betrayed her-in the current-Realm ~ where she was Forced-out-Of Her-Freewill To serve a-Future Religion, that she Doesn’t-Believe-in…
Maggi consoled her ~ and, soon the 2 Blind-girls were Lying down-&-hugging on bed… where Jane told the Catholic-BFF that-There WOULD-BE an All-Women ‘new’ Religion on-Earth-soon ~ and her Unborn ‘child’ WOULD-BE the Saviour-Daughter Of-Mankind…
Both fell asleep after hours-chatting… the AI-too shut-Down…
-O-
Unbeknownst to Maggi ~ who went to-bed at 9:30 PM that night à That her mother, Robin received a call Around 11-ish from the Blake-Tower authorities, informing… That there Had-Been-an unpresented Zombie-Attack in the Halloween-bash event at the auditorium… That Alicia ‘was’ safe (… but Ken-Chan ‘had’ injured’ his-arm ~ where He Could ‘not’ ride his-superbike) …
… Before-Leaving to ‘pick-Up her-eldest daughter, Robin checked-on the sleeping Maggi…
… Leaving her Home-Alone – for a-Couple-Of-hours…
<>
The next morning when the mother ‘checked’ on-her visually-impaired daughter à she was Shocked to-Find Jane was sleeping beside her...
The Astonished, Robin Woke them up – and-Asked Jane ‘how’ she Ended-Up in Maggi’s bedroom. Blind-Jane ‘told’ the-First Lie-Of-the day à that she Took an-Uber (… at 1:30 AM) TO-BE with her-daughter cos’ she had-To talk something-Personal…
… Robin was Taken aback cos’ she was at the Blake-Tower at that-Time ~ and Forgot to Check-On Maggi ‘when’ she Returned with Alicia…
Maggi-Too ‘backed’ Jane’s Lie, when she ‘spoke in-Hokkien…
… Robin Was-Still puzzled à Knowing that Maggi wasn’t-Capable TO-GO Downstairs, and TO-LET Jane-in Through the-front Door… when she Took-the-House keys ‘when’ she Left for Blake-Tower Last-night…
Her confusion Grew, ‘when’ Jane’s AI-device Too-Spoke in Hokkien to Back-Up the-Uber ride Claims that the girls-made…
Robin Knew All-3 of-them were-Lying…
The Chinese woman saw open-wound bruises on Jane’s right Knee-&-Elbows… and enquired ~ Jane was Fibbing that she fell Last-night on-a-curb ‘before’ coming to-Chinatown ~ and Boyyo ‘backed’ the-Untrue Mendacious Lie-like a-chorusing parakeet…
‘… more-&-more Lies…’
… Robin ‘glanced’ at the pile-Of-Jane’s clothing on-the-Floor à her-Warm Jacket-&-Nightgown were heavy soiled in-Blood-splats à and, then compared with the minor-Scars on the blonde-Tween’s body…
‘… Whose Blood Are-Those…!?’
Robin came-Back with a medical-Kit, and used peroxide to disinfect Jane’s wounds and slapped Band-aids to-it. Robin was in-a-Hurry that Saturday-morning To-Open her hair-salon shop, MataHari for Saturday ~ her Busiest-Business Day…
… so, she Couldn’t ‘send’ Jane Back-Home herself…
… she Hurried to her-Eldest Daughter’s bedroom – and, woke-Alicia-Up ~ Instructed to-Take Jane to-the-Walkers immediately (… and ‘strictly’ COME-BACK to Chinatown ~ when-Done… and, ‘Help-Her’ in-the-shop) …
The mother-Later saw her Twin-daughters Accompanying Jane Going-away in Uncle-Chin’s Uber-ride car. Robin went Upstairs to Maggi’s bedroom à and brought Down Jane’s blood-stained Pile-Of-clothes…
… at the Backyard was a red-ceramic Bin (… that was used to burn-religious paper Offerings ‘during’ the Chinese Ghost-Festival). Robin Lit-&-Burned the-clothes…
Robin ‘knew’ the preggo-Jane was staying under-the-Roof of Caroline à the Inspector-Of-Perth ~ and Robin-Being a migrant-Of-Singapore Doesn’t ‘want’ to get-Into the Wrong-side of the-Law in Australia…
… ‘That-implicated’ Maggi with Jane’s Crime-Evidence clothing (found in the-Bedroom) … in the girls’ Sleepover On ‘that’ Friday-night.
<><>
THAT SATURDAY MORNING, JANE-&-PAUL waited at the-Ikea table to be served breakkie. Tom-&-Nana came out moments-Later from the-Kitchen. The suited-up Tom was in-a-Hurry ~ he saw Paul, and said…
“I’m going-out – and be back for-dinner – Paul, inform your brother…”
‘… I’m ‘not’ the-messenger-boy…’
…Paul Did ‘not’ Say-That – but nodded to the-man’s Orders out-Of-respect…
Tom Left… and Nana served plates-Of baked-eggs-cooked in Bacon-&-veggies called Frittatas.
Paul saw the egg-dish that was sliced-as-pizza ~ and the foodie immediately fell in-Love with the Looks-Of Silky-Mozzarella melting with baked cherry-tomatoes toppings… with strains of green-spinach on the Cheese’s top-surface…
Jane too was ‘mesmerised’ with the aroma – and, the meat-eater-Womb ‘kicked’ when it detected the smell-Of-bacon. The host then ate the Frittatas ~ Jane’s second breakfast-Of-the Saturday-morning…
While Paul too-enjoyed his ‘pizza-Looking eggs’ – he Heard Tom’s Mercedes’ engine from the porch ~ as-the car reversed-&-drove-Off ‘before’ the auto-Front-Gate shutted…
Nana joined them at the-table for breakfast. Paul was still-Curious of ‘where’ Tom was in-a-hurry-Off to in that-Saturday-morning… but Paul did ‘not’ ask the housekeeper where Tom-was ‘going’…
…Tom Was-Still his-mom’s boyfriend, and ‘not’ his stepdad (… yet) ~ but at the CDC Quarantine Hospital (he ‘felt’ bonded’ when Tom Hugging-Him) ~ ‘when’ he broke-Down ‘seeing’ Caroline bandaged, and sitting behind a Plexiglass, which ‘separated’ the Visitors from the-Infected…
… it Had-been 3 years, as an-Adult-man hugged-Him à the Last-Was his-Uncle Bill… who visited him (‘after’ his father’s funeral…) ~ the uncle Hugged him during Paul ‘was’ admitted in-hospital for the spinal-Injuries sustained from the BMW-crash, that killed-Solomon ~ Bill’s elder-Brother à ever since That-day, the Walker-Kins did ‘not’ visit (…After-the-Funeral) ~ cos’ They don’t-Like his-Mother, Caroline…
… Thus, the family-Ties were cut-Off from West-&-East… where Paul had no-Relatives in-Perth visiting the Walker-house Any-more… and his-Mother’s Side were scatted in Sydney…
An opera-Ringtone ‘rang’ at the IKEA-table, and Nana answered ~ and, soon was jovially speaking in her-native SA-Language-Of-Afrikaans…
… Paul observed the ‘colourful’ charactered woman in-her 60s ~ the Beehive wigged, Nana on the phone had a-Distinctive ‘Huhuhu’ Laughter… (… the teen ‘humoured-Himself in thoughts, while eating his ‘pizza-Looking-eggs’) à Of…
… on an-Opera stage, where-Nana ‘duetting’ with Strix-the-Barking owl ~ with Nana hitting High-Notes with her ‘Huhuhu’ Laughter…
Paul chuckled to-himself… almost chortling-coffee from his-nostrils. He Looked at his quiet girlfriend enjoying her Frittatas ~ and counted his-Blessings that Nana’s cooking is the-Only Good-Thing in POST-TREETON where Jane-&-his ‘souls’ are trapped-In the-Bad Luck realm…
… Paul knew on Monday, he ‘was’ going-Back to school… and he would his-Uniform pants fit? He doesn’t care that he ‘gained’ weight (… like Caroline Was-Concerned that he-Would) …
‘… if at-My Last Supper ~ what wonderful-meal would Master-Chef, Nana Would Cook for-Me…?’
His reveries was-Poofed by sound-Of-Laughter. Peter was coming-Down from-Upstairs. The devil ‘was’ in a jovial-Spirit, but ‘not’ Bella who was having a-Hangover after the-Halloween bash at the sports bar, Last-night.
Jane informed Bella that Tom-Harris had ‘gone’ Out ~ but would-be back at dinner… The chuckling Peter replied…
“… Good riddance ~ one-Less irritant, hehehe…”
Paul ‘noticed’ the Table dynamic changed… when Peter Sat-On Caroline’s chair ~ the spot where his Late-father, Solomon-Walker had Sat Before at the supper-table à and, the Landlord-devil twin Sat ‘now,’ for his-Breakfast…
… Bella wasn’t in the-mood with her hangover (… where Peter ‘forced’ her to-Come to the table for-Breakkie) – Nana scolded the ‘preggo’ 14-year-Old in-Afrikaans ~ for ‘not’ returning home after the country-club Tennis game à and, instead… Getting-drunk at the Halloween-party…
Peter wanted To-Brag Of-his victory @the-JBCC where he Beat Steve-Connery, the ex-International in 2-Straight sets à but Bella ‘was’ In-no-Mood to entertain his Show Off-Boasting ~ so, she remained mute after Nana’s berating…
At the table, Blind-Jane finished her-eggs fast ~ and excused herself à going Upstairs to Catch-up with her Lack-Of-Sleep… leaving Paul with his-Family ‘dramas’ by-his twin’s presence…
The-foodie, Paul who savoured his-eggs… was Left with Nana, Peter-&-Bella at the-Ikea table, where the-devil was baiting the housekeeper to-partake in his Crowing-victory… he Asked…
“Nana, did Tom watch the-Live Telecast yesterday? I Used his-Raffa racquet yesterday, hahaha… the-One he ‘got’ me-For My-birthday…”
“… yes-Peter… Mr Harris ‘watched’ the-Game yesterday ~ and, he ‘was’ Impressed…”
“Hahaha! I ‘won’ with the ‘unseasoned’ new-racquet! Hadn’t I used the-Raffa yesterday à and-instead Used my old-Babolat ~ my ‘true’ Weapon-Of-Choice, my-Skull-cracker… Then-the final score Would-Have Been 6-Love-6-Love, instead-Of 6-3, 6-2, hahaha ~ Let It-Be the Act-Of ‘charity’ for Old-man Connery that he got-Points-Off the mighty-Cyborg Thunderbolt Pete, hahaha…!”
Paul ate-Up Fast-Too as he was nauseated with the-devil’s Show off-&-His open boasting… and Left the Table in-the middle-Of-the conversation TO-GO to his bedroom to play-Nintendo. Peter ‘noticed’ the wheelchair Leaving ~ and chuckled…
‘… hehehe Begone-Quad! Soon, you’ll BE-OUT Of-My House… the-Bionic woman Told-me-So à That You’ll BE-Locked-up As-Guinea pig in a government facility… Lighting-Up carnival lightbulbs Thru your-Bl**** Fat A**, Hahaha!’
<>
In his bedroom, Paul wanted to-Chill (… since Jane was ‘not’ accompanying-him for their-study time, after breakkie). He Opted to spend the-Saturday-morning to-Complete the few-Levels of the-Ghostbusters videogame, ‘before’ Back-to-school on Monday…
… Levitating to his-Bed, he plopped onto the new-mattress, where his-electronic devices were. Before he switched-On the Nintendo – he powered-On his iPad, going-Thru his Google social-media feed, TO-BE informed ‘what’ happenings Were-in-Perth on-Friday night, when he Slept…
His jawdropped when he read the TOP-POST in his newsfeed:
* Zombie Attacks in Halloween event at Blake Tower
‘… Alicia! She was There ~ competing in the-Cosplay… is she-Alright…!?’
Paul panics-Lessened ~ when he realised that-Jane was sent-Home from Chinatown by the Wong-Sisters…
‘… Ali-Is-OK ~ but ‘why’ Jane Didn’t Mention ‘about’ the-Blake-Tower attack to-Me Just-Now…!? Hmmm… maybe Jane Doesn’t know ‘about-It…’
He scrolled to the next-TOP-POST:
* 268 Zombies Found Dead in a Doctor’s Residence Front-yard
‘… whoa! Jane-&-the-Allies crew Had a big-Haul Last-night…’
He Clicked the-Link to-read the article à and, saw a Thumbnail video on the-page~ of the Doctor-mother carrying her Kenyan adopted toddler son. Paul clicked the video…
A 9News Perth logo appeared with a Breaking-News Of- several Army, Police-&-Ambulance vehicles busy in front-Of the Wilson residence ‘clearing’ the carnage ~ nearby the broken front gate, a reporter interviewed the mother (… and child) …
“… Dr Wilson, you were the-Person who Called Emergency-Service #999 when ‘you’ Return, is That-true…?”
“… yes, I-Did! It still-Baffles-Me that the entire Neighbourhood was Asleep ‘during’ the Lightning-Thunderstorm…” Shelley commented…
“.. err-But Dr Wilson… There was-No Thunderstorms Last-Night reported by the Weather Department…”
“There Must-Be One OR-ELSE the Weather-Dept was Asleep too… 3-Months-Ago, there was a Dead-Black-Panther in My-Backyard ‘struck-By Lightning… and the SAME COULD have Happened Last-night…”
The Black-boy interrupted-&-pointing at the house à as he ‘narrated’ Of ‘what’ happened… (in his Limited child’s gibberish-vocabulary) …
“… no-no-no… Jane-Supergirl! Jane-Supergirl!”
“Quiet, Samuel – Don’t Interrupt ‘when’ I’m Talking…!”
“… Dr Wilson, was the-Boy at home, during the-Zombie invasion…?”
The Toddler-replied the-TV reporter instead…
“… yes-yes… Jane-Supergirl! Jane Supergirl!”
The mother carrying the Black-boy was Annoyed ~ and Corrected-Him…
“NO! Jane is B-Girl – ‘not’ Supergirl!”
The Black-Boy was ‘now’ Annoyed-too ~ and yelled At-Shelley…
The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
“NO! Jane Supergirl! Mom is B-Girl!”
… the 16-seconds Of-the video-clip ended abruptly ~ Paul chuckled at Samuel’s Comeback to-Shut his ‘opinionated’ Mummy-Up. He remembered the same-Boy in the-OTHER-PERTH …Who was Locked in the Zoo’s black-panther entrapment (… TO-BE Blood-Sacrificed by Hajji) ~ where Peter had to ‘rescue’ the boy, who was the baby-Brother Of-his-Girlfriend, Janey-Of That-Realm…
Paul Was-then angry at the-cruel Shelley Calling her visually-impaired Daughter the derogatory-name, B-GIRL… he ranted…
“… Jane… even-My ‘own’ mom Never Called-Me a Quad à but your vicious-&-heartless mother ‘first’ she Disowned you à and, now-She’s calling you-Names On-Air…
“… it’s A-Good that you are with-Me, under the ‘same’ Roof à I Swore to-Protect you, my-Love…”
Having ‘enough’ dose-Of-negativity in Social-media – he switched-Off the iPad and ‘powered-Up’ the Nintendo… and emersed into his ‘escapism-Mode’ In-killing the VR-Ghouls-&-Demons… in the Ghostbusters’ avatar of-the Egon Spengler character.

Meanwhile, Peter was ‘alone’ at the IKEA-Table, enjoying his Frittatas:
* The Annoying-girls were Upstairs in their Respective-rooms
* The Quad was in his windowless Storeroom
* The Housekeeper was washing dishes in the-Kitchen
The Teen with the Robotic-arm felt Accomplished on the days he Was-on the school’s week-Long Suspension à where he Had-Beaten an-Ex-International in 5-Days ~ now, Peter had Decided to Rest-On the weekend for 2-Days… before Coming-Back to school on Monday …
… as the media-Celebrity … Thunderbolt-Pete à the Cyborg Tennis-Rockstar…
He Left the dining-table after eating… and went-Over and switched-On the-telly. A face which Peter Disliked appeared On-the-screen, in the-Saturday morning news. It was the CTU Special-Agent, Joe Dickson commenting On-his further ‘finding-Evidence,’ to the gruesome headless-Corpse they ‘discovered’ at the zoo-Hillside, a-week-Ago…
Peter growled, and flipped his-Middle finger at the screen-Of-Dickson’s TV interview…
“F*** You, Joe – You’ll Never Catch-me! And, Your-Bl**** Counter-Terrorist Unit Sucks-Balls too!”
He switched-Off the-teevee and dropped the-Remote-On the glass-Top Coffee-table… and went-Outdoors to ‘think’…
At the Lawn, he was walking-About as he was assessing his-Rockstar ‘achievements’ à the-Only Hindrance to-His Rise-to Fame (… other-Than-Quadzillamoto Poe) à It ‘was’ the-bumbling-Mediocre Animal-Activist Group, THE-HATEFUL-8…
“… how Dare Those-Clown Tell-Me to Lie-Low à just-Cos’ Joe, Son-Of-a Dick of the-CTU ‘had’ Found the Horse’s headless body à which-Is Their-Sloppy-Fault BTW-of-Failing to-Dispose the-dead, Like a Pro-would! YOU AMATURES! OII! You-2 Don’t ‘dare’ Tell-me What To-Do, and ‘not’ TO-DO…!? F*** Y’All!
“… I Bl**** Went Anyway to JBCC… and got my-Precious Scalp à Had I Bl**** Listened to you-F***-ers… I Wouldn’t Had-Achieved that, Can I…!? He ranted…
… as He conjured Scheming plots… to Eliminate 2-Variables that ‘were’ a-Hindrance to his Golden-brick Road to Greater success As-a Tennis-Rockstar… Peter ‘had’ Decided to Sabotage-Both ~ Kirk and Daniel … Of the-surviving Hateful-8 Group (… In-Hiding) …
… his-Idle mind ‘was’ His-playground ~ Devising scenarios That Wouldn’t-Involve ‘suspicion’ Of him-nor-Bella in ‘getting-Caught à if He Were-To ‘betray’ the-2 men of the rebellious-Animal Activist Group, and to put Them-Away… For-good…
… Or-Maybe Dead...
Peter ‘had’ Done-it before à and he Had-the Tool for-his scheme To Clean House…
… he walked and opened the closed-Garage-door ~ using-His metal-arm, he Opened the-Shutter Door… that went-Up vertically…
He stepped into the-Dark-&-Almost empty ‘space’ – where his Late-father’s BMW Had-once parked-In (… since-then it was somewhat of a storage area for Peter’s-Collectables à but the flood-water ‘damaged’ His-stored Valuable-boxes à where-Later, a clean-Up Crew from the Wilford-Properties ‘cleared’ the-Mess… except for-Paul, ‘who’ managed to-safe 80% Of-Solomon’s Architectural books-&-blueprints From-the-Flood…
… Peter went to the workbench in the corner. He bent underneath the-table ~ and from the crack-on the-Wall à he Retrieved-a Burner Phone… with a Voice-Cloaking-App…
… it was the ‘same-Phone’ that Peter used in his-Failed-job to Extort-Millions of Blackmailing-$ with nude Polaroids-Of-Mrs Marta Zimmerman (… a scam he had Done Months-Ago, with the Hateful-8 member ‘accomplice,’ Daniel Burnett) …
He had-Crossed the threshold Of-Trust to Betray the Hateful-8 à and Called Chucky Miggs.
<>
At the Anson Court’s Men’s-Bathroom/player’s Changing-Room à a Hawaii-5-O Ringtone rang… Chucky Miggs was in the dunny, multitasking and calculating with his pencil-writing in the small black-notebook… Of-profits-Made ever-since à he allowed the ‘Chinese’ to bring their-Cyborg ‘attraction’ to Anson-public Court…
Thunderbolt Pete ‘had’ put Anson-Court on-the Perth-Map ~ and, the district-municipal council were pleased that they Had Funds to renovated the facility from a 2 clay-courts to-4… with extra breachers for fans To-Come…
… while the-Improvements ‘went-On,’ Chucky-Miggs benefited from-the Side-line, ‘that’ his Illegal Sports-Gambling was Doubling-&-Thriving-Too… on-line with his-Motto ~ ‘… in the Land-Of-the Blinds ~ the-One-Eyed Jack is King’ …
The Hawaii-5-O Ringtone disrupted the Eye-patched Old ex-Convict, and he picked-Up the Unregistered Private-number, that Spoke-back in the-James-Wan’s SAW-movie, Jigsaw’s Voice…
“Listen! I’m Saying-this Once – I Don’t Want to-Speak to Chucky-Miggs… or-Whatever his-Bubba Prison-name Is… I Want to-Speak instead-to Charles Ross Sr ~ the ‘father’ Of Charlie-the-Horse Jr!
“Do you Know ‘where’ your-Son is Currently Now, Charles!”
The illegal Bookie Lashed at the prankster…
“WHO THE F*** is-This!? Is this a-F***ing Joke!!?”
“Shut-Up Old-Man! Listen! The headless corpse that the police ‘found’ at the zoo’s hillside is your-Son à Charlie-the-Horse!”
“F*** YOU! How-dare You ~ My son is-Alive…!!”
“Where Charles!? Where is your-Son ‘now’? Is he With Kirk-Kiperman… Working at the dog-farm…!? But Have you ‘checked-on’ your ‘only’ son’s whereabout Lately ~ no-yes-no…?”
“… err… He’s There with ‘those’ Misfits…”
“Are you you-C**k-Sure that your estranged Problematic-Meth-Head Son is there, Charles, Hehehe à No, Charles, He Is Dead! Kirk Killed him à and took his Head-&-Hoofs ~ and buried in the Dog-Farm!
“… with the Police investigation Coming-Hot à Kirk and his-accomplice, Daniel Burnett Would-Be Long-gone far away ~ maybe to New Zealand… you Don’t-Be a Mediocre One-eyed ‘blind’ fool sitting on your-laurels à Go-&-get them… and Avenge Your Dead Son, Charles!”
“F***-YOU! I don’t Care ‘about’ my-Son! I Wish he ‘was’ Dead!”
“What Kind-Of a-F***ing Father Are You, Charles!? Kirk Kiperman ‘Had’ killed your-Only Son – and, you Let Him Walk-Away!!?”
“F*** YOU! If I Find-You, Bl****-punk-A** à I’ll F***ing Kill You-Myself!”

Peter was bamboozled-&-disappointed when the Call-Ended. He thought-That the gangster-father Would ‘deal’ with the-Rest-Of the-Hateful-8 (… probably ‘off’ Them) à but instead ‘receiving’ Death-treats (himself…) from Chucky-Miggs, in-return…
… he sighed, and-That got-him Thinking…
‘… I ‘understand’ where He’s-Coming-from à whether the Bl****-Old eyepatch believes Me-or-Not – HE WON’T HELP, either-ways ~ So-sorry for you, Charlie-the-Horse… I ‘tried’ à but Your-Father Don’t Love-you, what-to-Do You-Loser-son…of-a-b****…? You’re ‘now’ ‘Officially-forgotten’ ~R.I.P.-to-you, Hoss, I never-Like You either…’
… he emphasised with the deceased ~ coming from a Broken-family ‘himself’…
… he Felt-that the mother-variant, Caroline-Of-POST-TREETON à ‘too’ HATED-HIM ~ with the Head-logging he Had-for 10-months in the realm with the Policewoman ~ that Diminished the-Love between Mother-&-Son…
He then-Channelled his-Anger back-To Chucky-Miggs, who Did-Not ‘cooperate’ in his-House-Cleaning Masterplan (…a-Hindrance To progress to Rockstar-stardom) …
… he was pissed-Off with the-Old-man, who Had ‘profited’ from Thunderbolt-Pete fame, playing-Exclusively on his Anson clay-court turf. Ken Chan had-made a deal where Peter ‘would’ play in an-non-Illegal-gambling Terms (… cos’ he’s-a-Minor… just racking-Up amateur-wins, ‘when’ he played to increase his ‘scalps’ record-Wins @Anson Public Court) …
… where-else, the 60+-year-Old bookie à ‘had’ now bought a 2nd-hand Porsche from a shady car-dealer… dressed-Up flashy Like a pimp with his gold-chains, gold-wrist bracelet, and even a 2nd-hand Rolex watch from a pawn-shop…
‘… you ‘ungrateful’ Old-F***! Those ‘spoils’ were from my pain-&-sweat à and-Yet you Refuse-me to ‘eliminate’ the-2-From the Hate-Fool-8 Group! You thankless A**-hole… I ‘curse’ That your ‘other’ Eye Go-Blind too!’
The raged-teen punched the metal workbench with his robotic-Arm… and, left a dent. He then Left the garage with his mountain-Bike to get-out… to think Of-Plan-B…
In the kitchen, Nana ‘heard’ a Loud-Bang from the-garage. She Looked-out the window, to see Peter riding-Off to the neighbourhood, with the electrical front-gate Closing-Up after-Him …
… the old-woman sighed in-Relief… as she had one-Less youngsters to take-Care-&-Worry about @Walker House… ‘until’ Caroline was discharged from the hospital, on-Monday.
<><>
HOURS-AGO BEFORE DAWN, the doctor-mother Had-Been Dealing with ‘several’ bus-Loads-Of Dead zombies ‘littered’ in her-Front yard-&-inside the-house. The-army, police-&-fire brigade were ‘setting’ perimeters in ‘dealing’ with the Aftermath, in a ‘surprising-&-baffling’ phenomenon à where the ‘whole’ Neighbourhood ‘had’ slept-through when the Zombies’ Targeted-attacks on the-Wilson Residence…
… unbeknownst to Everyone à that the Head-zombie, Hajji had put a Blackmagick-Spell ~ so the neighbours were Immobile-in-their slumber to HELP THE-WILSONS, during His-Horde-Of undead Cannibal Attack…
Shelley Had-been ‘cooperating’ with the Army-&-Police heads-in-Charge of Transporting truckloads-Of-charred Perthian zombies à heading to-Irwin Barrack Central Base ~ to tabulate-&-ascertain the dead-Citizens’ identities…
The doctor-mother ‘also’ did Several media-interviews in retrospect of-the zombie Aftermath (… where she Had to ‘repeat’ her-recollection). But-when some ‘nosy’ reporters’ prying question was ~ ‘the preggo-Jane was ‘home’ during the Zombie-attack?’ à Shelley either said, ‘No-Comments’… or she ‘would’ advocate her Pro-Aborting stance TO-BE implemented in schools, so-That girls would-Have a 2nd-Chance in continuing Their-education…
… the doctor-mother ‘knew’ they were ‘not’ Buying-It à as they were Pro-Tarzan-&-Jane advocating gossipers… whose-Only interest revolving the Family-Day’s Tarzan Kissing YouTube-video… and the infamous Deep-Fake Tarzan sex-video…
The appalled Shelley walked away from ‘further’ ON-AIR embarrassment that her rebellious B-Girl brought to her-&-family… in Perth.
<>
The doctor-mother had a couple of hours of sleep, before her phone disrupted ~ it was Albert-Wang in the-Other end-Of-her Huawei… Wang Property’s Est-8-Group was handling the Sales-&-Purchase agreements to Shelley ‘selling’ the Wilson-Residence (… that was worth TO-BE $16-Million in Perth’s property market) …
Shelly Couldn’t sleep-After the call and was concerned-&-apprehensive ~ worrying the market-value would-Be ‘compromised’ with the Zombie-attack Last-night that Left massive-damages in both’ the interior-&-exterior Of-her luxury-House…
In the master-bedroom, the Sleep-deprived doctor Left her bed ~ and, got ready for work at 9… where Saturday-Was a busy-Day at the Clinic. After dressing-Up, she went Downstairs… and was surprised to see her toddler son greeting-her. In the kitchen was Lola feeding Samuel breakfast. The doctor had her coffee at the dining table (… and, was b****ing ‘about’ the bad-Luck of the damages Of-the house by-the-horde-Of-undead…
Albert Wang and 2-realtors came at sharp-8. Shelley went around with the 3-Chinese men who were-Accessing the damaged Outdoor exterior ~ with her lawn burnt and unearthed with several potholes. One of the realtors was using a Chinese-abacus… as his fingers were pushing rows-Of-beads to Calculate the expenses-Of repair costs before Reselling. The other man was taking photographs of the devastation…
… Albert-Wang (the-Shapeshifter) ~ had a bandaged-arm…
… to an-Injury Last-night @Blake-Tower à fighting-against Asmodeus’ zombies during the Halloween bash… when he ‘dated’ HIS-OWN step-Daughter, Alicia à as Ken Chan…
… who Had-sex with the 13-year-Old…
… it was to ‘spite’ to his estranged-wife, Robin à who had an-Affair with a Mysterious-man in Singapore, 13 years-Ago à who was the ‘father-Of’ the Wong-Sisters…
… and, the begrudging Albert also ‘tried’ Blood-sacrificing Maggi ~ but failed…
… where StarGirl-&-Werewolf Came’ To the-Rescue…
Albert dropped the bombshell to Shelley that-she Could-Not ‘claim’ the insurance-Of-damages under-the ‘Strike-Rioting’ civil-Insurance Compensation Act, cos’ the-Undead were ‘not’ human-Rioters ~ where the Losses-Incurred were ‘Classified’ in an Act-Of-God category (… like Fire, Flood, etc…) …
Even the Life Insurance-policy holders of the-Undead deceased ~ were ‘not’ paid-Too (… to a-Legal loophole à that the-Submission form, Didn’t-include ‘checkboxes’ for zombie-Associated syndromes TO-BE Related as a-diseases Itself…
The Chinese businessman told the doctor that the damages were estimated at below-$3-Million ~ and, the Wilson-residence was now-Worth $13-Million…
… but was ‘enough’ to buy a ‘new’ house…
… the disappointed Shelley Was-Devastated with-the-Loss (… as she had Calculated that Samuel’s 15-Years of education fund-GONE BY the property’s market-Depreciation) à but her stroke-Suffering husband ‘had’ a-$3.5-Million Life-insurance policy, upon-his-Death…
-O-
The doctor Led the Chinese-men inside the house that was 10% razed by-fire, during the zombies On-slaughter…
The 3-year-Old Samuel thought that the-people were ‘reporters’ ~ and the Black-boy repeated his- mantra, ‘Jane-Supergirl, Jane-Supergirl’ à Lola hushed him…
… the Filipina housekeeper wanted to-Keep the boy’s Superhero-sister’s identity a-Secret à where Lola too-had 2 extraordinary encounters with the visually-impaired Jane:
* The First-was 3 months Ago à when Jane fought savage baboons ~ escaped-from the zoo… which invaded-&-trespassed into the Wilson residence to-Endanger her-&-Samuel
* The 2nd was Last night à when Jane fought a ferocious zombie-Horde ~ which invaded-&-trespassed into the Wilson residence to-Endanger her, Samuel-&-Anthony
Lola Had ‘witnessed’ that Jane had ‘cosmic-superpowers’ à shooting fiery-Bolts from her hands-&-forehead to kill the trespassing zombies (… where the housekeeper Had put out the-Fire) à Or-else it Would HAVE-BEEN ‘more’ than 10% Damages to the residence’s Interior…
… it was a-Secret Lola would-KEEP AWAY from Everyone à Especially-from her Employer, Shelley Wilson à who Despised-&-Hated Her-Own daughter, Jane…
<>
When the Realtors Left, the-Angry doctor-wife went upstairs ~ and entered the Guest-room to ‘confront’ the bed-ridden Anthony. She stood akimbo over-Him…and berated-&-b****ed about the Bad-Luck TO-BE ‘married’ to-Anthony was:
* Anthony’s genetics were-flawed à resulting Jane was born-Blind
… that was-WHY, Shelley had decided to Adopt Samuel. She hated too-When the visually-impaired daughter was Anthony’s fave-child… and, GOT-AWAY with the father’s Leniency… growing up ‘rebellious,’ and fought back…
* Anthony’s parenting was-weak à resulting Jane was pregnant at the tender-Age-Of-12
… that Brought Shelley ‘shame’ and Live-a-Live without Privacy ~ when the B-Girl ‘herself’ was the Jane-of-Tarzan’s heroic zoo-escapade of ‘fighting’ rhinos-&-elephants… that Had captured the ‘imagination’ of idle-minded Perthians on-the social media…
…she had-No face-in-Facebook anymore, where her Friends-&-Family were ~ and, when the Tarzan’s Kissing-video ‘immerged’ à it was a sign, she should-Close her-FB account. (... DID Last week…) the buzz was ‘stronger’ when Jane Was-Found ‘pregnant’ among ~ In-the 3-Girls in-the SHS’ Students-Pregnancy Scandal…
… but she had Disowned the B-Girl à to Live her-Tarzan-&-his Inspector-Of-Perth mother ~ who had a set-Of deplorable-&-disgraceful twin-Sons…
* Anthony’s money-management was terrible à resulting Losing a-Quarter Million-$ of the-Joint Family-savings
… she had Arguments with him ‘before’ when he ‘wanted’ to Go-Into his OWN-Business. Shelley had-Pointed-out that he had no-knack-Nor-business ‘sense’ TO-BE an-entrepreneur, cos’ he OVER-TRUSTED sycophants who were mere ‘apple-polishers’ à and-finally, his-Own business partner/grifter swindled him ~ and, the-Cheated husband had-a Severe stroke cos’-Of-it…
Anthony with tears in his-eyes, could-Only see his heartless wife Shouting at his-Face ~ while bedridden… he could ‘not’ Speak-back nor-Move a muscle in his degenerating-&-failing body…
“F***-YOU, TONY! I’m Leaving you with the-Boy à I Want a-Divorce! Look at the pathetic-You… ‘f***ing Look-at You ~ you’re Like bl**** infant who need TO-BE Fed and Changed-diapers!
“I can’t-&-will ‘not’ Take-Care of you too ~ Samuel in-Enough! You’re a useless cuckold husband with your Erection-Dysfunctional disorder ~ I Don’t Want-you anymore… I want to Cash-Out, and-Want a bl**** Way-out Of-Our-marriage…
“… since you ‘have’ Squandered Our entire-F***ing Life-Saving with your self-fantasy Furniture-business à I’m selling the House and ‘keeping’ the money… you’ll Never ‘ever’ Get-a-Cent Of-it à you Go-Live in a Bl**** Government welfare house for Gimps-Like you…
“… and Don’t Forget To-DIE FAST ~ cos’ I’m Taking the Life-Insurance Money-Too… the money you Lost in Going-into your F***ing business ~ the-Money ‘which-Was’ for Samuel’s Education is now ‘Gone’ …
“If you Love-Our Son à then, Quick-Just Die, cos you’re a Useless Father to Him-Alive!!!”
There was a metal piss-pan… with a disposable bag-Of-Anthony’s urine (where the bedridden-Husband passed urine from a tube into-a-bag) à the raged Shelley ripped off the plastic-bag à pouring the urine into the metal-pan à and brought-it-to Anthony’s Face…
“You ‘never’ Listen-To-Me, Tony! I f***ing Told you TO-SELL this-Bad Luck House since the-Zoo Animals… that Black wildcat, and the baboons ‘CAME-INTO’ the house-to-harm Us… but you Never Listen à and Kept-On renovating this-Bl**** House… and-Last night à by-Zombies TOO!!of-!
“It’s Your-Fault – ‘that’ I Lost 3-Million-$ Because-Of-Your Foolishness of acting-Like a Smart businessman ‘that’ you’re NEVER-WERE! Now Look what ‘have’ You-Done! It Seem-like you Never Learn your-Lesson, Tony à I’ll TEACH-YOU – NOW, Drink your-Piss and Learn… and Come to YOUR-SENSES ~ That you’re a-Nobody without ME!!!”
The mouth-of the metal pisspan was on Anthony’s Closed lips – as the wife ‘forced’ it, so that he Opened his lip-sealed mouth. His teeth-then clanked to the metal-rim à and, Shelly pour-In the yellow-urine into-him. The bedridden Anthony choked-&-gagged in his-Own bodily excrete fluid that-passed into-his-throat. Nauseated, the husband vomited…
… but the-Wifey wasn’t done-Yet ~ and she Berated-more… and hitting the empty metal-pan onto Anthony’s forehead…
“You’re a Useless Husband-&-Father! I Left ‘that’ B-Girl in ‘your-Care’ à Now, that Bl****-Girl is pregnant à what Would anyone Think of Me as a-Doctor? I ‘practice’ Of-Pro-Abortion… she’s pregnant COS’ you Allow your-Daughter to F***-Around ‘with’ the Inspector’s Boys, Didn’t YOU-Not!!?”
She tossed the bedpan that went clunking on the Floor ~ she was ‘done’…
“I’M Out-Of-Here! I’m Leaving You à you Better DIE-FAST, you Hear-me? … you Useless ‘species-Of’ a Man…!”
Shelley Left her moaning-&-sobbing bedridden Husband…and she lockup the Guestroom à where Anthony was Her-Prisoner…
… and came-Down the stairs.
-O-
Earlier, Lola ‘heard’ Shelley’s shouting in the closed-guestroom. The Filipina then saw her-Queen-Control employer coming-Down, and saying…
“Lola, Pack-Up ~ we’re Moving-back to Christopher’s place – Be-Quick! I Have to GO-TO Work after-That …”
“Ma’am, what about Mr Wilson? David would BE-HERE at 9…” The concerned Lola Asked…
… David Thant was a Myanmar-national Male nurse from a senior-care Agency – who came and Cared-for-the bedridden Anthony in the Wilson-residence, ‘when’ he was discharged from the-Hospital, 3-days-Ago…
“I’ll drop y’all off ~ and Come-Back to Let David in ~ start Packing, Lola… we Don’t have ‘much’ Time…”
Shelley LIED…
… she Didn’t-want to Waste-$ in hiring a-Personal nurse anymore à as, she wanted to ‘punish’ Anthony further by starving him, in his ‘own’ bed-Of faecal-&-urine, to Teach Him a-LESSON ~ just-Like…
… she Did to-Her tween B-Girl on Monday-night à Leaving the visually-impaired Jane Home-Alone to fend for-Herself without Food.
<><>
HE CYCLED ALL-AROUND the neighbourhood – while his-Mind thought of ‘a-Solution’ of a Plan-B to Sabotage the-Hateful-8… whose ‘Headless-Horse’ police findings problem Would-Be his-PROBLEM-too ~ Implicate him-&-Bella, as Co-conspirator to the ‘death’-Of Chucky-Miggs’ Only-son…
… that the captured H-8 members-TOO MIGHT-Rat him à to Link as involved in Kirk Kiperman’s eviscerating the-dead Horse à and, then burying the head-&-hoofs in the dog-farm compound…
‘… the H-8 might even-Rat me that I ‘used’ Pete2.0-To mastermind a ‘plan’ To-Break-in the-Zoo that night… hope the 2-Idiots are ‘now’ Long-Gone, fled to bl****-NZ… and holeing-Up in a Hobbits shire somewhere There…’
The midday morning sun was-Out – Peter was thirsting for a can-Of-RedBull. The rubicund tanned teen cycled to the 7Eleven. The row-Of-shops were Opposite a cricket-pitch… it was converted to an Australian-footy field (… that-Sports was In-Season). He saw 18 bigger-teens playing a-Game with the Sherrin-oval ball…
… it ‘tempted’ Peter to join-Them ~ but he thought it was a-Bad idea cos’ his robotic-arm would ‘injure’ them in the scuffle contact-sports… just Like he ‘had’ sent church-Warden Anton Clay to the hospital, Last-month…
‘… I guess I stick to Tennis… where I’m in my-Side Of-the-Court ~ ‘away’ from ‘hurting’ my-Opponent…’
The 7Eleven Convenient-Store was in between other-business establishments. Peter had ‘not’ come to the-Area for a Long-time (cos’ of the zombie Lockdown-&-curfews) ~ and, noticed that some eateries-&-bakery Had-Closed-down. The only shops Open were the barbershop, videogame Arcade (… Peter wasn’t into videogames ~ after Losing his-arm in the BMW-accident 3-year-ago… but Paul was ‘serious’ gamer à crouched in his wheelchair with his curved backbone ‘bent’ Like a-Fat shrimp prawn, playing Nintendo at home) … then, There Was-the stationery-shop-cum-Internet Café (… where he-Had secretly ‘Sabo-ed’ his twin à by posting the YouTube’s Tarzan-Kissing video, with a fake account, a month ago) …
He parked his mountain-Bike – and walked into the-Chiming door-Of-7Eleven. Peter made his-way to the chiller fridge where there were neat-stacks Of-soda cans displayed. He noticed 4 of the footy-Substitute players were in the store ‘gawking’ at him…
… Peter Doesn’t ‘have’ any-Friends in the Middle-class neighbourhood à where his Late-Father, Solomon-the-Architect had ‘built’ the Biggest-House in the middle-Of-the vicinity. Furthermore, he Doesn’t ‘have’ any-Friends Cos’ He was-the-Son-Of the-Inspector-Of-Perth à ‘where’ most folks kept-Low profile from the Walkers Cos’ They were related into some-form Of-Petty-crimes in their daily Side-Hussle…
Peter went to the check-Out counter ~ and paid $3.10 for the-RedBull. He heard the boys gossiping ‘behind’ his-back. He wanted them to-blathering ‘about’ His-yesterday’s Live-telecasted match-Of the-Cyborg, Thunderbolt-Pete ‘crushing’ the ex-international, Steve-Connery in-Straight sets @JBCC…
… but ‘instead’ he ‘heard’ ~ being-merely Identified as Tarzan-Paul’s brother…
… Peter was pissed à that Poe-Was ‘still’ more popular than him…
He Left-the store in a hurry ~ cycled to a Lonely-bus stop… TO-BE ‘alone’ to have his-Energy drink. His mind was diverted-Back to his Hateful-8 ‘problems’… where HE FAILED To Convince Chucky-Miggs that his ‘son’ was dead-in-the Zoo, during the animal-activists’ ‘Free-the-Monkeys’ incident…
‘D***-YOU, Eye-patched Old Man ~ Are you Totally-Blind? Your son, Charlie-the-Horse is Dead! Kirk then Burnt-Him so that the Police Can’t ‘know’ his-Identity à Why Don’t you F***ing Believe Me!!?’
Peter’s House-Cleaning ‘mission’ was ‘not’ Going-well as-He ‘had’ Planned à where the Robotic-armed teen Wanted-TO-BE-DONE Before Caroline was discharged from-Quarantine in the-CDC hospital on Monday:
* Fat-Paul Should-BE OUT Of-the-House…
‘… what is-Taking the Bionic-woman soo-Long? And, ‘why’ is Quadzillamoto ‘still’ squatting in-My house, Like the bl**** Fat-floating man-In-the ‘Dune’ movie ~ he should-Be Caged-Up in a Government facility… and TO-BE Experimented-On Like the-dangerous KOBA from the rebooted Planet-Of-the-Apes movies…
‘… where are you, Bionic-Renee-Osbourne C***…!? I-HAD ‘delivered’ my-End-Of the-Bargain when I Gave you-the Evidence in-the-USB that fat Poe-was-Dune floating ~ caught-By Home-security CCTV camera…
‘… ‘why’ Haven’t-You taken-Out my-Trash ‘yet’? à it’s Saturday-Today… and, that-Angie-Dickinson Policewoman Would-Be Back on Monday… and, her Ex-Principal Boyfriend Could F***-OFF too-From My-House…’
* Next, The Hateful-8 too Should BE-OUT à as a stepping Block Of-hindrance to-his Freedom to pursue his-Path-to Rockstar success (… without Looking-Out for the-Law to-Catch-Up – by the H-8’s Blundered ‘failure’-Of disposing the-Dead Horse’s body à and ‘linking-To’ incriminate Kirk-Kiperman’s Crime-Of ‘dismembering’ the cadaver-to-him Too… as, an-added-prison sentence…
‘… I Don’t want-To Go-to-Jail… It’s ‘not’ my-Fault! It’s Those grown-a** adults… Of-The Hateful-8, the-Ones Should-Be Bl**** charged and Go-to Prison, ‘not’ Me ~ I’m just An-Innocent bystander à at the Wrong-place, at the Wrong-f***ing time… help-Me-God…’
Peter sat for a-Long-time AT THE bus-stop ~ he Couldn’t figure-Out a Plan-B – and, he Haven’t a-Clue Of-HOW-TO Get rid-Of Kirk-&-Daniel from the-picture-Of His-failing ‘House-Cleaning’ mission…
The tall can-Of-the frizzy RedBull Was-Empty ~ Peter realised he was still holding the Unfilled aluminium-can in his Leftie… habitually Peter’s Smasher crushed the-thin-foil Can into the size-Of a-marble…
The Hot-sun was penetrating from the see-through plastic-Roof of the bus-stop… and the teen was sweating-bullets – that urged-Him to Go-back to 7Eleven to ‘get’ a-2nd-RedBull… but he Dismissed the idea… thinking Of-the ‘humiliation’ that his-Own Middle-Class neighbourhood Had ‘not’ acknowledged-Him as Cyborg Thunderbolt-Pete ‘yet’ ~ despite As a ‘Rising-Star’ in the social-media Of-the worldwide web …
‘… I’m a Freak to ‘these’ Idiots… 3-years-Ago, they ‘saw’ Me with One-arm ~ Today… with a metal-Arm! HAH! No ~ they Aren’t interested in my-Amateur Cyborg Tennis playing YouTube videos… what Do-I-Do…? Make-A ‘j***-Off’ video with my-Robotic-arm TO-GET their-Bl**** fetish Attention!?”
Peter was juggling the aluminium ‘marble’ in his metal-robotic palm – while Deep-in Thought of ‘who’ to-Contact to Get-rid Of-his H-8 problem…
‘… who-you Call ~ Ghostbusters…!?’
The frustrated teen finally stood-Up ‘after’ he Had ‘exhausted’ his-ideas for a Plan-B ~ to ‘not’ incriminate himself (… and Bella) à for the animal-Activists, H-8’s crimes…
… he ‘was’ Only-13 à and Doesn’t Know Anyone Who Would Help’ him in the-Crime he was ‘entangled-In’…
He shifted his-Anger ‘back’ to Chucky-Miggs… and was shouting at-Himself, Ranting-Out … pointing his-finger in-the-air, ahead Of-Him…
“F***ing Old-man à WHY You Wouldn’t Believe THE TRUTH ~ That your-Son Is-Dead!!? Instead, you bl**** Threaten the-Messenger … you Grandfather-Son Of-A-B****! You-even bl**** SAID that You’ll Find-Me à and KILL Me ~ OH-YEAH…!?
“Bring it-On à FACE-ME you Stupid-F***ing Senile-imbecilic-relic of-The-Baby-boomers à Do you Think I’m scared-OF-YOU? … you ‘think’ you’re Bigtime Gangster ~ Of-a felon-Criminal, who Had gone IN-&-OUT Of-Perth’s bl**** ‘baddest-Of-baddest’ Casuarina Prison, don’t You? à You ‘think’ you’re a F***ing NOW a F***ing-OG, and, you ‘wanting’ to-KILL Me instead. Hah!
“Bull****! STEP-INTO the 21st -Century, You one-Eyed-Jack of-An-Old Man à You’re Now facing a-CYBORG Called Thunderbolt-Pete à I’ll ‘crush’ YOUR Bonehead, and Send-you bye-bye-Into COMA-Land à Like I ‘DID,’ To-that annoying Chinatown-Wong… BACK then…you HEAR Me!!”
Peter was Distracted by motorcycle hooting ~ his reveries ‘arguing’ with the-Imaginary bookie-From Anson-Court ‘poofed’ ~ when he-Then saw 2 Honda CR-80 motorbikes passing – with the 4 substitute-Footy players, that he met @7Eleven moments-Ago. The Older-boys were laughing-&-jeering in the speeding-Bikes. It annoyed the robotic-Armed teen, as he Shouted…
“F*** YOU! Hope Y’All Crash-&-Die!”
… They ‘had’ teased Peter, who ‘acted’ deranged in the-Bus stop… alone Nattering to-himself Like-a-Looney. Peter felt Like-a-Freak Too… with no-friends in that Middle-class suburbs-neighbourhood cos’ his-mom was the inspector Of-Perth…
… he saw the bikes ‘gone’ – and turned to Look at the-Billboard Of-the-Bus-stop ~ realising-That he ‘was’ sitting For-More-Than an-hour with his-Back turned-To an-AD Campaign of Mayor John-Blake’s Re-election… as-the city-Manager-Of-Perth…
Peter hated John-Blake-Too. He-then flung the metal aluminium marble Hard at the display showcase à that it Cracked the-poster behind the plastic-Glass ~ in the ‘mouth’… wiping-Out the fake-Political-Smile in the-poster…
… satisfied with his-Act Of-public vandal ~ the Eldest-son-Of-the Inspector Cycled-Home. It was Coming-to-Noon.
<><>
In the windowless bedroom, with the AC blasting, Paul was playing his-Nintendo-switch – he was-Excited that he was in-Level-7 (… the final Level to the Ghostbusters videogame) ~ which he Wanted-To ‘complete’ before going-To school on-Monday…
‘… hehehe…I’m a Dead-Soul ‘trapped’ in a-Videogame ~ who ‘plays’ Videogames…’
… he Also had planed to save-Up money TO-BUY the next-game… and, having researched the-Tons-Of ‘shooting-games,’ he opted-For Doom Eternal, sold at USD40 @Amazon – where the reviews ‘quoted’ as the ‘goriest’…
… it was ‘close’ to his-Own supe-Missions à where he fought monsters-&-demon in his Dreamworld… which black-Blood-Of-the ‘entities’ Splattered when-He Killed them…
The imaginary bloodthirsting thoughts made him Hungry – and his-stomach ‘growled’ louder than-His alarm clock when he Looked at the-time ~ 12:12 PM. It-was Usually Nana ringed her tiny-bell during ‘noon’ FOR-MEALS… and, she was 12-Minutes ‘late’. He decided to GO-Out to meet Jane …
… but instead, he ‘saw’ Peter Seated-Alone at the dining-Table… he was tanned-&-sweaty, drinking a-2nd can-Of-Coke to hydrate after his 7Eleven ‘trip’ outdoors. Paul saw the-rubicund twin appearing orange in-Skin tone just Like one-Of Donald J Trump From-the political-News – he Didn’t want to join with the-devil yet’ at the Ikea-table…
He caught a-glimpse-Of Nana Going up-the-Stairs – so, he wheelchaired to the Bathroom. He felt ‘strange’ that he Was-sweating-TOO. At first, he thought that it was the-After-Effects from moving from his air-Condition room to Outside the rest-Of-the house Which was ‘not’ AC-ed. But he was perspiring ‘more’ from his ‘diamond-shaped ‘cursed’ Scar from his-Throat …
… in the OTHER-PERTH, if that ‘Happened’ à it was-Because the-devil was ‘scheming’ Something-Nefarious…
‘… he’s plotting-Something… Or ‘was’ He…?’
… but-Sometimes, the rule-book of One-Perth’s realities Doesn’t apply-to the Other… As-Paul Observed ~ in his 10-MONTHS ‘trapped’ in the-devil-Twin’s Bad-Luck realm…
In the bathroom, he Looked at the mirror à hoping that the wraith of his-Dead father’s ‘reflection’ To-Appear ~ and ‘give’ Him a-Warning Sign… but nothing Extraordinary Happened ~ and Paul was anxious…
‘… what If-the devil-Did ‘plot’ Something…? How Am-I TO-DEAL with-it ‘when’ Mom-&-Principal Harris are ‘not’ at-Home…?’
Moments Later, from-the Closed bathroom door, he heard Nana’s voice ‘speaking’ to the-devil ~ with an-Adult ‘there’ ~ It was ‘safe’ to Come-out to the IKEA Table…
… the Aroma of the food – ingested the Foodie’s senses As-the wheelchair Approached the dining table à Paul’s worries Of-the-devil’s scheming-Plot diminished…
It was a bowl-Of Spaghetti-Bolognaise… and side-serving Of-deep-fried drumsticks-Ala KFC. The housekeeper was serving it into 3-dining Plates…
Nana was in-Good-spirits at the dining-Table – biting the white-meat drumstick ~ and she ‘informed’ the young TO-BE-fathers…
“… both your-Girlfriend would ‘not’ Be-joining for-Lunch ~ I gave the-2-Of them some ‘aspirins’… Let Them-sleep, As-they’re with ‘babies’…and, they-Both ‘had’ a rough-Night yesterday à they’ll-Be ‘fine,’ and, would Join-Us for dinner in the-Evening. Huhuhu…”
Peter Don’t Care as he Ate his spag-bol… ‘only’ the attentive-Paul nodded to the Caring SA-housekeeper. He too joined and consumed the food in his-plate, with a fork in-his-Left hand-To stick-In the meat-pasta, and his-Right hand holding the-Chicken drumstick… eating the 2-Food in-Random…
In No-time, Peter finished his-Lunch, and stood-Up ~ Nana intervened and-Asked…
“Peter, do you ‘want’ Dessert…? There is some-Vanilla ice-cream, if you ‘want’…?”
“No-Thank you, I’m full…”
Paul smiled-TO Himself…
‘… more-Ice-cream For-me…’
Peter Left to Go-outdoor… Nana too Finished her Lunch… and served the Leftover pasta from the bowl onto Paul’s plate ~ which he ‘gladfully’ ate…
… while Paul observing Peter-Passing from the windows ~ walking to the garage at the side-Of-the house…
5 minutes-Later, Paul was alone at the-Table ~ having a Big-scoop Of-ice cream. Nana was doing dishes-in the kitchen. The crippled teen On-his-wheelchair ‘heard’ the front-Door slammed à and saw the-devil Laughing as he ran-Upstairs…
Paul Though…
‘…. Crazy-idiot…’
He ‘ignored’ his ‘attention-Seeking’ Twin ~ and continued to-Savour his-Dessert… as he thought of ‘Chef’ Nana’s cooking…
‘… what a Great-meal à the Fried-Chicken-&-Spag-Bol’s Power-Combo ~ hell sure ‘qualifies’ as My Last-Supper, hehehe…’
