CHAPTER 27

Victor lowered his cigarette and threw it onto the gravel. Clyde shut the car door behind him. He walked around the hood and met by Victor's side.
The two exchanged looks, then nodded. They proceeded forward.
Sophia sat on the chair in front of the front door, halfway asleep with a sign falling out of her hands. "Welcome home, Daddy!" It said. She would make one every time he went out on "business".
A knock on the door, and Sophia was shot awake. She exclaimed and hustled to the door. As she opened the door, she was greeted by Clyde.
"Uncle Clyde!" Sophia wrapped around his leg. "Hey, Soph." "Mommy! Uncle Clyde's here!" She shouted. Nichole walked around a corner in the corridor with a vase in her hands. She stopped in the middle of the hallway and stared.
Slowly, Victor emerged from behind. The two stared solemnly in her eyes. Suddenly, the vase shattered on the ground. Her hands went to her face as she heaved. "Here, baby. Come here." Clyde hoisted Sophia up and in his arms. He took her upstairs to her room.
Victor walked in and shut the door behind him, and turned back to Nichole. Once she heard the door to Sophia's room close, she began screaming into her hands.
Victor flinched at her pain-filled screech, and put his hands behind his back. He proceeded forward, and Nichole lost her balance. "Whoa!" Victor said.
He swooped down and caught her. "Please, Vic! It's not true!" Victor held her trembling shoulders.
He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a wallet. He handed it to her. Nichole took the wallet and opened it, and sure enough, there was an embroidered snake on the front, and a picture of him, Nichole, and Sophia in the clear slot on the flap.
"NO!" She cried. Clyde came down from the stairs and put his arms around her. "NO MY BABY..." She wailed. Clyde began to cry with her. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.." Clyde repeatedly whispered.
