Fifty-Seven

Angelica is cleaning up the counters in the kitchen in peace.

That is until Connie walks through the back door disturbing her.

"What do you want?" Angelica sasses at Connie.

Connie slams the backdoor and turns to face Angelica.

"I need to speak to my son. I believe he had a session with Dr. Grassi today." Connie says.

"It ended, but I'm sure the little psycho is still skulking around here somewhere." Angelica spats.

Connie points to the counter and looks at Angelica.

"You missed a spot."

"So did you. You've been crying. Good."

Angelica and Connie have a stare off for a few seconds before Connie walks away to go find Scott.

Connie walks upstairs slowly and calls out Scott's name hoping he will talk to her.

She peaks in and out of the rooms as she walks down the long hallway looking for Scott with no success.

"Scott?"

"Scott, honey?"

Finally, Scott walks out of the middle bedroom, which is Mitch's and stands behind her not wanting to get too close.

"What do you want?"

Connie turns around startled by Scott's sudden presence.

"Oh." She says with a huge smile, holding her hands to her heart as she looks at her son.

"Well, I wanted to see you." She says.

She goes to touch Scott's face, but he quickly pulls away before she could with a angered look on his face.

Connie holds back tears and brushes her own hand against her face instead.

She them sighs.

"Are you feeling any better?" She asks.

Scott just stares at her not wanting to answer he question.

"Are the visits with the good doctor helping you?"

"Yeah. We're really getting to the root of the problem."

Connie nods her head and smiles at her son with excitement.

"Turns out I hate my mother."

Scott gives her a side eye as he walks away from Connie leaving her sad and alone in the middle of the empty hallway.

Connie walks towards the string hanging down from the ceiling and pulls it down so she could talk with her other son Beau.

She figures if Scott won't talk to her, she will just go find her other son that would probably love to see her and make her feel welcome.

Connie pulls down the ladder to the attic and slowly walks around calling for Beau.

"Beau? Come here, darling." She says reaching out her hand to him as he sits in the corner by himself.

She walks both her and Beau to his bed and sits down with him and takes him in for a hug.

"Sit down with me, darling."

Connie smiles at her son and brushes her hand against his face as she looks at him.

"Oh. My beautiful boy."

"My handsome boy."

Connie gives his a kiss on the forehead as Beau looks at her with love in his eyes and a huge smile.

"Mama's gotta say goodbye. They're gonna take you away from me. They're gonna take everything away forever." Connie explains as Beau starts to cry.

"No!" He yells as he wraps his arms around his mother.

She takes him in for a hugs as Beau cries into her shoulder.

"Oh! My sweet boy. It'll be okay."

Angelica is doing dishes, when she sees Connie walking back into the kitchen.

Connie sighs and looks at Angelica.

"Well...You think you're being very crafty, don't you? Throwing yourself at that greasy Persian. But you've been too cleaver by half." Connie says fighting back tears.

"He said he's building me a swimming pool."

Connie says at Angelica's foolishness.

"And when they dig up the backyard and find my bones, you'll go to prison."

"There's not going to be a swimming pool, you stupid slut! There won't even be a house! He plans to tear the whole thing down and put up affordable housing. He's gonna seal your tomb for good!" Connie spats.

Angelica sighs.

"I don't believe you."

"Well, it's true. He told me so himself. And while I would normally rejoice at the thought of you spending eternity scrubbing out low-flow toilets in government-subsidized housing, there's every chance that when these walls come down,  I am going to lose my family forever. And I won't have that!" Connie says.

She pounds her fists on the counter in rage and walks towards the backdoor to go home.

Angelica then turns towards Connie with tears filling her eyes.

"He lied to me." Angelica says.

Connie laughs at her.

"Well, of course he lied to you."

"Why do they always lie?"

"It's in their nature. They can't help it.

Angelica looks away from Connie with disappointment in her eyes.

Connie sighs and walks back towards her.

"But we can help each other."

"What do you want me to do?" Angelica asks.

Connie smiles and looks her in her eyes.

"What you do best."

**

Later that same day, it was time to put Angelica and Connie's plan into action.

There's a knock at the door as well as the loud ringing from the doorbell.

Angelica goes to open the door and is met by Mr. Escandarian.

And he is met by a young Angelica.

Mr. Escandarian looks her up and down and peaks his head through the door to see if anyone was around.

"Sure nobody's home?" He asks.

"They're upstairs, tucked in tight." Angelica says.

He walks in and doesn't take his eyes off of her.

"Every since you called, all I can think about is that sweet mouth of yours. I've had it all over the world, baby. You're the best."

Angelica just stares at Mr. Escandarian and gives him a smirk.

"Lucky you. I'm hungry again."

She then turns away towards the basement stairs.

"Let's go someplace where no one can hear us."

Mr. Escandarian obeys and follows her.

They both move quickly to the basement as Angelica takes them to the backroom by the door that leads to the backyard.

"Kinda dark down here." He says.

"Puts me in the mood to do bad things." She says.

He quickly takes off his jacket and throws it to the side and then goes to unbuckle his belt for Angelica.

"Someone sure is eager." She says.

"No more talk, baby."

Angelica pushes Mr. Escandarian back into a chair and kneels down in front of him.

As she kneels down, Angelica quickly pulls out a knife from under Mr. Escandarian's chair and cuts his penis.

He screams in pain as blood gushes out of him.

Rick comes behind Mr. Escandarian and puts a plastic bag over his head to suffocate and muffle his screams from the rest of the house.

Angelica watches as Rick kills him in pleasure.

Connie walks in to see her plan successfully take place.

Before he takes his last breath, Mr. Escandarian sees Connie walking towards him with an evil grin on her face and realizes he is done for.

"After all these years, Angelica, I have finally come to appreciate your talent." Connie smiles.

She then looks over to Rick who is still holding Mr. Escandarian in a headlock.

"Is he dead yet?" Connie asks.

"Not quite yet." Rick says.

"Well, make sure he's off the property before he expires. I wouldn't care to encounter his carcass ever again."

Mitch sits on his bed looking through old pictures of "happier times", when his mother, Nel, knocks on the door and peaks her head in.

"Can I come in?" She asks.

Mitch shrugs and looks back at his pictures.

"So it looks like, uh, this guy's pretty serious about buying the house. I mean, we won't know officially until it's actually in escrow, but I wanted to talk to you about it." Nel explains.

 Mitch puts down his pictures as Nel sits on the foot of his bed to answer any of his questions he might have.

"Well, then what?" Mitch asks.

"Then I think you and I will go stay with your Aunt Jo until we find a place."

"What about Dad?"

"Well, Dad still has patients and....I don't really know, sweetie. We haven't figured it all out yet. This wasn't the way it was supposed to go, Mitchie. Your dad and I really loved each other." 

Mitch looks to his mom with tears in his eyes trying so hard to fight them back.

"How did you know you loved him when you first met?" Mitch asks.

Nel shrugs. "Well, he was...he was handsome and kind. But I don't know. The thing is, when you fall in love, it's kind of like you go crazy, and before you know it, the whole world looks different, and then you'll do anything for the other person."

Mitch stares at his mother and kind of smiles.

"Why do you ask?" Nel asks.

"No reason."

Nel smiles at her son as he hands her an old picture of the house he found in the attic.

"Look at this." He says.

"Wow. That's the house."

"Yeah. When it was first built."

"Where did you find all this stuff?" Nel asks as she sees some more old picture on the bed.

"In the attic. That's the original owners. Stephanie and Kevin Olusola."

Nel picks of the picture of the Olusola family and immediately recognizes Stephanie.

The woman that came by earlier in the week to look at the house.  

Its all starting to make sense to Nel now.

The house is haunted.
