~The fear of Tony~
Mary drove home, maneuvering her way through traffic and screeching through the tar road. As soon as she drove into her compound, her eyes darted and combed around for any sign of an intruder. Everywhere looked ghostly and calm. She kept glancing around as she walked gently before her gaze came upon the window pane of Eva ‘s bedroom ; it was scarcely lit with lantern and she suspected the reason to be the presence of Tony who could be tormenting her now. An idea jumped into her mind to dial 911 just for their safety . But she fought if off and made up her mind to go upstairs and check upon Eva first.
Once she entered the sitting room, everything was in order ; tranquility hung across the room and there was no sign of everywhere being rendered unkempt as a result of Tony chasing Eva around and threatening to harm her. Quickly he made upstairs, into Eva’s room , yanked the door open and saw the calmness and peace that hung around except for her bed and wardrobe which were unkempt.
“Eva!” she called paused, put her ears down but could only hear the ear-ringing sound of silence. “Eva!” she called again and thought she heard the splashing sound of water gushing from the shower, tap or something. But she was sure of what she heard. Gently she threw one step at a time, in tiptoes and she went right into the bathroom, pushed on the door and saw nothing and nobody except for the loosely held tap on the wall which was gushing out tiny strands of water and she queried why it was left to run in waste; she suspected it not to be ordinary but for the presence of Tony who would have manhandled her daughter in the bathroom.
“Hmmm!” she hummed rolled her eyes and swallowed hard at her inability to fathom what the problem was and where her daughter could be. “Eva!” Are you there ?” she asked yet again , peered her head into the door once she heard a shuffling noise of feet stamping on the floor and feared greatly if it was her daughter or Tony coming through; she knew she had erred against Tony and could be on the verge of being tormented by Tony.
Speedily she ran to the balcony and saw only the shadow of darkness from the scarcely lit arena. She felt Eva was in trouble or something for not being in all of the places she searched for. Something was definitely wrong; she thought and walked straight to the wardrobe, searched out for something to arm herself with and when she saw nothing , she caught the idea to go into the kitchen downstairs. But what if Tony should attack her on her way to the kitchen? She thought within herself and caught sight of the plastic reading table which had a detachable leg, she went for it and armed herself with one of its leg, before hasting out of the bedroom yelling:
“Eva! Eva!” she combed around the store , the game room, the visitor’s room, the staircase and one of the room she hadn’t visited hit her in the head.
The penthouse!
Eva! Darling! Where are you?” she called as she hastened up the staircase, her plastic legs right handy to send a blow at her attacker if indeed there was any. Tony had glared at them when she kissed Doctor Frank in the ward where he still lay under the oxygen mask and now the news making the round in the hospital was Tony disguising as a nurse and escaping the hospital premises without being caught by even the security . Certainly this boy was a damn bad boy who shouldn’t be toiled with. She had noticed the anger in his eyes when he gazed at them right under the oxygen mask, and was already planning his revenge upon her.
“Eva! Eva!” she called on as she made to the penthouse, being the only apartment in the room she was yet to search. Promptly she pushed on the door and saw nobody except for the chirping sound that came from nearby. She was stoned-scared at the time and she wondered if it was a trap or not. Willing to sacrifice it all for her daughter, she tip-toed to the bathroom of the penthouse where the chirping sound was emanating from and once she pushed on the door behold Eva was on the floor, tucked away to the wall and wept bitterly.
“oh my goose!” Mary exclaimed and threw the plastic in her hand to a corner, “What happened , baby?” she asked, hasting to her only to be snubbed by Eva whose face had gone crimson, “Talk to me, baby. What happened?” she asked again and squatted to her crying face.
“Tell me how long am I going to be disappointed by you.” Eva replied through wailing voice. Mary gave a surprising look and she asked again, “I am talking to you, mom, how long am I going to be disappointed by you all in the name of finding love?”
Mary couldn’t keep back anymore, she wined anxiously at her and asked, “What are you talking about , daughter…”
She was yet speaking when Eva interrupted , “Oh you know what I am talking about. Stop giving me that look. I am so ashamed of you that of all the men in this California, the only person you deemed it worthy to taste your pussy is Tony, a boy of my age.”
Mary snorted! Her countenance fell! She grinned and squeezed her lips. “I can explain,” she said coldly.
“Keep shut, mom! “ Eva snapped, spat at the floor angrily, “I regret being your daughter. You suck!” she cursed her and walked away, leaving the door banging.

Tony raised her head form the water sink which was full of water and stared in the mirror in front of him. With his tatted hand, he wiped his face, dragged his greasy pressed hair to the back and gritted, before stared his red eyes into the mirror grievously.
“Where are you, Mary? I hope your heart is still for me, else be prepared for war!”…
