They went home for the brief holiday and Harley made it clear that she was not happy after the war. If he needed to talk about it. He wasn't sure if he could speak to her deeply about how he hated to see other people suffer. "I want you to meet my mom." He said and Harley was not jumpy about it. She nodded even if that meant the world to him. She realised that most of their dates were in private places. She also saw that strawberry garden he made all season in Artemis's house. She was worried about that, she stepped back and Maks smirked. He wasn't worried that the house would be filthy. "Sure." She said. "I'd be delighted." She was sure that the words went over his head. They went home and Harley winced at a black cat rushing out to the cold. "That's East, our cat." He said. Harley paused at Doreen working on her computer. "Say hi to mom." She almost rolled her eyes but his tone was lighter. He was excited."Maks, I'm surprised, when did you get home?" She stepped down fr
Maks froze at the crowd watching him. What if one of these people saw him in public next week?Harley sat back at their table urging him to start. He could make eye contact with anyone. "It's just a song. She said. "It's basic but just picture everyone in their underwear.""Not a problem with that." He muttered to her.He gulped looking at the teleprompter. [ Please no ] "Come on!"He got a guitar, he actually had lessons from Irma. "Okay..."They laughed when he almost dropped it. He sang and a woman clutched her friend's hand. He had been receiving positive reactions but Harley was busy typing on her phone crossing her legs. He pulled her out and she cleared her throat as they got the spotlight. He pranced about whirling her to a chair. He was surprised when she dramatized the lyrics putting him in the spotlight. She was surprised how he sang really well and she circled his chair sensually. He could barely focus on singing.Harley looked shocked at him and so did he. She cle
Doreen called the police. Their bodies were missing. It just seemed like things would get better after her parents left the house and now they couldn't even rest in peace because some criminal had taken their bodies. She looked like she would break down in tears but she pursed her lips, white in the face while the Detective assured her of their involvement. "I'm sorry, Mrs Fletcher-Anderson, we're looking intensely, into this situation.""You're not alone, Mrs A, I was a friend of Emily's." Fred 'Alfonso' told her sympathetically, "Any friend of hers is a friend of mine." He turned serious. "There are tonnes of graves that were opened on different nights. Reports were scaling through the roof about bodies missing in 5 different cemeteries.""More cases. Who would do such a thing?" Doreen said."I don't know. My educated guess would be crackheads. They have some twisted kink to satisfy but we're done speculating. We'll get clues, Right Steve?"The detective nodded.Maks held Doreen
Dom was so pleased that he won his girl over just in a matter of nights. His plan was Chef's Kiss."I don't have much time. I'll have to go." He leapt on his scooter and zoomed off."Ah let em off, he's good for nothing." He held her shoulder.He coughed at the fumes and he strained at the uncomfortable feeling in his lungs."Fuck you!" A driver said after trying to ram him off his scooter."You're fired." The owner told him. "How can you go there on record time and still not receive any money? What is this a charity?""It didn't occur to me." Maks said."Lord God, you are so dumb! On the first day. Get out, out!" He just let his emotions blind him. He didn't want to do anything else today. The workers laughed at him.The manager from his other job called."Since your partner is not showing up. I have a new one who can you know create a better synergy. Since you came, my costumers have been blooming."He couldn't go but he had to do it for the money. "You're not going to regret it,
"Oh my...They're zombies." He whispered."That's ridiculous." Irma turned on the headlights and they screamed at their perforated faces and expired eyeballs."Backup, backup!" She said panicking and he reversed quickly. They turned to them coming."They might be walkers and we've battled monsters before, haven't we?."They shouted at the Zombie that jumped on their car. Maks turned the wheels and they left the zone avoiding them. That sense of Deja vu left him. Irma squealed at the maggots writhing on the windshield. The windshield shattered from her sonic scream and the zombies within her range flew off. Skeletons rattled running after them. He drove away quickly, breaking through them.There was a right arm on her lap. It leaped and grabbed her hair. "Don't scream." Maks yanked tossing it out."I'm sorry, I just panicked." She heaved clutching her hair."It's fine." He grimaced at the car. "Now we have to worry about Artemis's windshield."Irma clutched her head. "That scream
They sat back. "Hey guys, I saw what the lady was sweeping, they were peanuts."Irma said. "He came before we did."Irma went over to ask the lady if anyone came asking. She snorted. "There was a guy, he came waltzing in here like he owns the place. Dropping peanuts everywhere. There's reservations for a funeral for Mike Delaney next Tuesday and Charles Bowen on Friday the 13th of October and Tuesday Adamson...on Tuesday. Why you askin'?""We're friends of his. He must be so tired. He must have left you so disappointed." Harley said wiping her eyes."What's his name?" She said."What's HIS name hmm? With the shenanigans going on here, we wanna make sure that you're aware and as responsible as you claim to be.""Get out.""This is a very critical moment for him and he can't even be at rest knowing that some psycho is out there stealing bodies. We just wanted to know, for his sake." Harley broke down."Miss, I'm sorry, we are a hundred percent reliable. My cousin was taken so I underst
Teagan is half Irish, half German. His parents were immigrants."We will do anything you ask." Sabrina said and her vocal cords exploded.He screeched. They were not the same. "Come, I'll fix you. We can be together again."He led them on. Maks pushed on and he fainted at the low oxygen. He sounded so young. So angry. "Listen, I'm only after you because my parents are dead and if I had a chance to reanimate them like you did, I would."He clenched his teeth at the screams. "Then why are you fighting me? We can both get what we want!" Teagan said to him. "It's not the same. They're both gone, there's nothing left of them except your memories. You've gotta let them go." Although it was a tempting offer, he had to resist for his sake. The boy was misguided and he needed someone to rein him in. "Then I'm sorry to say you're missing out on a really big opportunity." He told Maks fogging up, the plants around him furled freezing over.Teagan was alarmed by that deathly shriek. "Let the
Maks looked unrefreshed in a bathrobe, he hit his head against a hanger, he lowered himself moving forward. He had to ask Irma for input about Death boy. She said he wasn't talking to anyone but Ares. Not in a good way. Ares had his hands full now. But he worried about Teagan concerning his past and his keeness to cause trouble.His phone rang. "Hold that thought.""Hi, Anderson. It's Bocelli here. Haha. How are you pal? You did me a very big favour. Let's just forget the whole squabble and you come back to work.""What changed?" He said through clenched teeth."Ah well, it seems we intertwined with the Rodriguez family and they gave you some credit. And me some credit. We just need you to deliver a 1000 boxes of pizza."Maks listened smiling at Doreen. She looked perplexed."Oh really? Triple the pay and I'll think about it."The owner cursed. "Fine..." The authoritativeness in his voice lessened. "When are you arriving?""Rodriguez?""Yeah, my friend lives there and my bully."Doree
