Twenty-Three

"I am just horrified for you and your family! I hardly know what to say! And I can just imagine how you're feeling being a little anxious to get out of this place!" Josh says sitting at the Grassi's dining room table.

"Nope. Not anxious. Angry!" Nel says as she pours tea for her and Josh.

"You know, that how I felt, when the boys did what they did? We gotten rather close, they'd have me over for Bloody Marys and omelettes on Sunday's. So to find out what nasty little perverts they were..."

Josh pauses and collects his thoughts and memories of how they found the last owners of the house.

"You probably heard about the poker for the fireplace being shoved up his-"

"Josh!" Nel interrupts.

"We have to put this house on the market! And we have to make everything back that we put into it. We just can't afford to take a bath on this." Nel explains.

Josh just sits back and laughs it off trying to give Nel a reason to stay in the house.

After all, it wouldn't look good on his part if he let the Grassi's move out of the house after only two months!

Especially since after all who have lived here, met a tragic end.

"You know, you might want to adjust you expectations. The housing market is dropping daily! And these things aren't about to change until 2013, when we vote that bum out of office." Josh explains.

"Well, here's the bottom line, you owe our family. Under the law, you were obliged to disclose any material facts that might have influenced our decision to buy this house!" Nel snaps.

"Excuse me, dear, but the law requires us to disclose any death on the property within the last three years! I did that!" Josh snaps back.

He takes a deep breath and tries to calm himself down before he says something he regrets.

"Nobody is buying me cooking classes, Mrs.Grass-ass-y!" Josh yells.

"Grassi!" Nel yells.

Josh then just keeps going on with his rant to Nel.

"Nobody is looking out for me! Do you know where I live!? I live in a 350 square-foot guest house, in Valley Village with rats! I'd kill to live in this house regardless of the history!" Josh cried into his tea.

He sets down his tea and breaks the eye contact with Nel to collect himself.

"You know, you probably need a more seasoned realtor. Someone who specializes in-"

"Oh, you think you were my first call? I called every realtor in the city this morning! Coldwell Banker, Century 21! No will take this listing!" Nel yells.

"So, here's the plan, you are going to bake cookies. You are going to buy beautiful, expensive, freshly cut flowers and you are maybe going to make up some nice stories about all the lovely people who lived here over the years! You are going to do whatever it takes, and you are going to sell this house and then my family and I are going to go live some place safe! In return for that, I'm not gonna sue you for gross criminal negligence!" Nel explains as the veins start to pop out of her head.

Josh stares her down with wide eyes as he can't believe how mad Nel is getting over the situation.

He's kind of scared of her at this point and doesn't know what to say or do to please her in this state.

The more Nel keeps talking, the angrier and more scared he's getting by the moment.

"Are we on the same page?" Nel asks with an attitude.

Josh just nods not knowing what to say.

"Good."

Nel takes a sip of her tea and changes her mood and tone.

"See, Somebody is looking out for you."

Josh just gives Nel an awkward smile and sips his tea trying to process everything.

Mike walks into the kitchen with his coffee mug for a refill and sniffs the coffee in the coffee pot to see if it's fresh or not.

"It's fresh I just made it." A young Angelica says walking into the kitchen.

Mike doesn't look at her at all afraid of what he will say or do.

He just takes his cup from Angelica's hand and pours himself a cup of coffee as she watches him.

She gives up and walks out of the kitchen to get back to work and Mike watches her walk out.

He sighs in relief and walks back to his office.
