Double Vision

An Unfriendly Neighbor

Raymond
We thank them for the invitation, but seeing how Mrs Grey and her employees treated Anastasia and Annabelle poorly and injured them Mrs Grey was cavalier about said injuries and treatment of my children. We won't be having anything to do with her or her employees again.
Carla
You will forgive us if we don't feel and goodwill towards Mrs Grey and her employees at this point. My daughters my accept the apology, they don't forgive her or her employees and neither do my husband or I. So sitting down to break bread with you is not going to happen.
Raymond
I think we are finished here. Don't allow your employees to harass my daughters again. I will personally make sure you and your employees are charged. Anastasia is an attorney and your medical license could be at risk. Think about that when you don't abide by the law again. We have things to do. We all get up and leave with the checks and the originals of the agreement.
Anastasia
I don't understand how she thought we would stay and have a meal with her. I can't believe she thought we would even entertain that idea.
Annabelle
We aren't forgiving her of her wrongdoings, we are accepting the apologies from her and her men nothing more than that. We get in our vehicle and leave.
Grace
Well that was rude of them.
Carrick
Did you expect them to forgive you and really have dinner with us after everything that happened?
Grace
I was sincere in my apology and the dinner invitation.
Carrick
All of you might have said you apologized, but you weren't sincere. I could tell and they could as well. You made an enemy of of new neighbors and you don't even care. I won't help you the next time. They saw through the insincere apologies. Plus tonight is family dinner night.
Elliott
Who just left?
Grace
They are the Steele family.
Elliott
You mean the people who just opened the Steele place in Seattle?
Carrick
That's there place?
Elliott
I believe so. It just opened up.
Christian
I walk in and hear Elliott talking about the company in Seattle.
Mia
Wow everyone made it I see. Has anyone seen that very scenic VW bus recently. Someone did great work on it.
Grace
Yes I have seen it more than I wished to.
Carrick
See this is the attitude that made them aware of your being insincere about your apologies to them.
Mia
Mom want to tell us what is going on?
Grace
It is not important, just super sensitive people is all.
Carrick
This is why your apologies meant nothing to them and the dinner invitation was a mockery of sort.
At the Steele Residence
Raymond
Well we know where our bread is buttered with Mrs Grey and her employees. Stay very far away from them. I have no idea what game was being played, but mr Grey knew they weren't genuine apologies. If you see them leave the place you are at. I will not have you hurt again by them.
Carla
I am angry we had to see all that, you should have had her charged along with her employees. Then sued them on top of it.
Raymond
We can't have our daughters faces in the news until the kidnapper has been caught. He has been asking our neighbors where we are at.
Carla
Once he gets behind bars or something else we won't hesitate make her pay for future grievances. They owe our daughters as much.
Anastasia
I will steer clear of the Grey family from here on out. I wonder who the threat is against them.
Annabelle
Me too, they are nothing but trouble for us. I will also leave if they arrive where I am at.
At the Grey's home a heated debate is in place
Elliott
Mom really I am glad it wasn't a real threat, but you can't do this to people. They were in front of you, not behind you. I can only imagine how frightened an innocent person will be when they were pretty much driven off the road and pulled physically out of the vehicle and cuffed to the point they were bleeding and then checked aggressively for weapons. Seven men did this and they searched their van and you called the cops on them, and the cop told you and the men you all could be arrested for your actions and they asked to settle and wanted apologies from all of you, but you gave them a half hearted apologies.
Grace
I don't know that they aren't a threat. Do any of you?
Christian
As a matter of fact I do know they aren't a threat. Let's just say Barney knows their IT person and knows they aren't a threat. However you caused a set back in the girls PTSD therapy. But I can tell you this they won't be anywhere near you. Davis told me the whole story and you and the security teams were in the wrong completely. You all are lucky she didn't have their guns on them, they could have shot them and it would have been self defense. Threat shot first, they don't push carts into your cart in the middle of a grocery store.
Elliott
I hope you have new security and you think before you do any of this again. The Lincoln family slither up from the sewers, they don't hit your cart. And following people is done from behind, not in front of you. Where was your head at?
Grace
They were at three places we were at. They both hit my cart, granted Smith pinned one of them to the floor.
Christian
They have names you know?
Grace
They definitely do, but I can't tell the difference between them. They are identical twins.
Carrick
I can't get through to her and she can't get it through her head  that she could have been arrested and go to jail.
