Mandy tiptoed closer to where her mother stood. Her back was facing Mandy, but as she got closer, she could see who her mother was speaking to. Mandy gasped, covering her mouth with her palm. She could not believe her eyes, she saw her mother speaking to her husband! Mandy ran out of her hiding place. "Mother!" She yelled. Her mother jumped like someone who got caught stealing. She could see the rage on Mandy's face, and started pleading to pacify her.“Mother, what is this man doing here?" Mandy asked. "Mandy, please calm down. He is just here to see me" her mother replied."Here to see you? If he had killed you the other day he came here, would he still come here to see you ? Absolutely not! You would have been six feet under the ground!" "| apologize on his behalf, Mandy" "You don't get to apologize on his behalf, mother. By the way, why did you let him into the farm? "He just wants to see me, please let him" her mother continued to plead. Mandy scoffed. "Mother, if you
"Mark? Talk to me" Mandy said. Mandy kept urging Mark to talk to her but he kept mute and was still crying. She didn't know how to pacify him to make him open up to her. Mandy led him to sit on the couch, waiting for him to gather himself. Maybe he needed time and Mandy was ready to give him the time he needs, to put himself together. Mark stopped crying, wiped his face and was now looking at Mandy.“Are you ready to talk now? “Yes Mandy, | am ready to tell you everything" Mark replied."So why were you crying, Mark? you can tell me anything" Mark almost hesitated but Mandy nodded in his direction to urge him on. "Promise me you will keep it to yourself" Mark Said, with an expression that got Mandy worried. Mandy didn't know if she could make such a promise, as she won't hesitate to tell their mother or raise and alarm, if Mark's life or anyone's life was in danger. "You can tell me Mark, and be rest assured | will keep it to myself if it's something that won't get you in tr
"What! Mandy yelled, and tried to cover her mouth immediately. Bosey kept writing on the paper he held. "YES, SOMEONE BUGGED THE MANSION" Mandy's eyes widened with shock. Mandy and Bosey quietly walked into the room to avoid being heard by the listening device. When they got to the room, Bosey checked for more listening devices but couldn't find any, which made Mandy relieved. At least they had somewhere that'll be safe for them to talk, she thought."No bugs here, right? We are free to talk here? Mandy asked.."Yes, Mandy we are free to talk here" Mandy paced back and forth. She turned to Bosey. "How could someone have bugged my house? When, and how did this even happen?!!" Mandy queried."| fear those intruders may have done this" Bossy replied, still trying to keep his voice low."The intruders? But they were caught by you, before they escaped and ran away" "Yes , | know | caught them, but | have no idea how long they were in here for, before | caught them" "This is so craz
"Norman? Are you sure about that, mother? Bosey asked, unsure of what his mother was saying. "Yes | am very sure of it, son. Although | could not see them properly, but as they were leaving | saw his back, then he turned to face your father and that was when | saw his face completely" she insisted.Bosey could not wrap his head around this. He looked at Norman, then he turned to his mother."Are you sure you are not mistaken, mother?" "lam not, Bosey. | am absolutely sure! It's him! "Bosey was surprised his mother pointed at Norman, because he and Norman were friends in college until he started working for Frank, which made them drift apart from each other. Bosey could remember how disciplined Norman was. But one thing Bosey wasn't sure of at the moment was if Norman was still the Norman he used to know. Bosey made it a point of duty to dig into Norman when he had the chance. But first, he could see Mandy walking towards them, he would tell her about Norman later, he concluded with
Mandy was so scared to see Norman laying on the floor unconscious. It brought back memories of how her father died. She kept looking at them as if she was in trance."Call the ambulance! Bosey said to Mandy, but she didn't respond. Bosey turned, and noticed Mandy was not trying to make a call, she just stood there staring at Norman. She was in shock, and Bosey understood that. He had to yell at her. "Mandy! Mandy!! Call the ambulance now! " he yelled, while he knelt beside Norman. Mandy jumped at hearing Bosey's voice, yelling at her. She immediately put her hand in her back pocket and brought out her phone to called the paramedics. "911, how may | help you" a female voice said over the phone line. "Someone is laying here unconscious, please we need your help right now. Send someone immediately!!! " Mandy yelled into the phone."Okay, please remain calm and talk to me. What is your name?" "My name is Mandy" “Alright Mandy, where is your location?" "It's 14, Boulevard street
"Code blue! code blue! The voice kept repeating, which indicated Norman was in danger zone. Mandy and Bosey rushed to enter the room, but was stopped by some nurses. "What is wrong with him? Bosey asked. One of the nurses answered. "He had a cardiac arrest and the doctors are trying their best to keep him stable, so please wait here and we will be with you shortly" Mandy and Bosey stood in front of the room, waiting for the doctors to come out. The doctors and nurses came out of the room, taking off their mask, then the attending doctor beckoned on Bosey and Mandy to come closer. "What happened to him doctor? Mandy asked. "l am sorry to say this ma'am, he had a cardiac arrest and he is in a coma” Mandy's eyes widened with shock and fear. “Oh my goodness! Coma? Oh no, poor Norman" she said.Bosey came closer, and touched Mandy by her shoulders and also caressing her, as if to console her. "But doctor, when is he likely to wake up? Bosey asked. “We don't know these thing
"Jenny Lynn? Why was Norman screaming Jenny Lynn, when his boss was Frank, Bosey thought" This was becoming more complicating than they thought, but they had to find out who was behind it. Bosey and Mandy's guess has been that Frank was behind everything happening at the farm, but Norman mentioning Jenny Lynn, makes it harder to conclude it has only been Frank all along. He ended the call with Mandy, got into the shower, took his bath and dressed up. He headed to the mansion to speak with Mandy about, what Norman's father had said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bosey got to the mansion, he knocked once but no one answered the door, he knocked for the second time, the door opened and it was Mandy's mother. Bosey took a silent deep breath and let it out. He walked on eggshells around her. "Good day ma'am" Bosey greeted, and like always, she ignored him."What is good about the day, Bosey?"Bosey didn't know how to respond to that. He only stated the purpose of his visit."l am here to see
Bosey couldn't believe what Norman's father just told him. Why was Jenny Lynn trying to kill Norman and why was Norman working for her. Bosey kept staring at Mandy, he didn't know how to tell her that Jenny Lynn, who is her mother using an alias, was now the hidden boss of Norman. They promised each other, that there will be no more lies between them, so he must tell her when she wakes. Bosey dreaded situations like this. Mandy was going to be so sad when she hears this. Bosey couldn't sleep while thinking of so many reasons why Mandy's mother would have Norman working for her and now trying to kill him. "Does Norman have something against her?" he thought.Bosey was still thinking of possible reasons, when he noticed Mandy stirring in her sleep."| am exhausted" Mandy muttered, half asleep. "You should sleep some more, 'D' " Bosey whispered, but Mandy was already opening her eyes. "| don't think | can sleep in now, | have to be at the office soon" she said, sitting up. "Really
