Murder Inc.

Melissa had just cleaned up the safe house from all the mess the men made.
Yasmine on FaceTime
Yasmine, "How's everything?"
Melissa, "Tomorrow, we're going in. That's what Sione and Joe said. I'm ready. I'm so homesick, if I don't get home soon, I'm going to kill each one of them off, one by one. They're so messy and so fat. They eat twenty-four seven. They ate all MY snacks, drunk up all MY drinks, including theirs. And girl they really leave stuff there just to see if I'm going to get it up and if I don't in a certain time frame, they tell me I'm slipping."
Yasmine, "What?!"
Melissa, "Yes."
Joe yells from the other room, "MELISSA!"

 
Yasmine, "Who's that?"
Melissa, "You know who that is. Mighty mouth of the south."
Yasmine laughs, "Well, what are you going to do? You know he's going to keep calling you until you come."
Melissa, "Well, whatever is it, he's gonna have to come to me. I'm prepping to cook."
Joe storms into the kitchen area, "Didn't you hear me?"
Melissa, "What is it, Joe?"
Joe, "Where's my charger?"
Yasmine, "Seriously?"
Melissa, "Did you check the wall?"
Joe, "No. I'll check the wall. The grocery pickup is ready."
Melissa, "How about you go get it? I'm trying to cook."
Joe, "I'll send Tommy."
Tommy and Claude were in the middle of Call of Duty with the TV blasted and made all kind of noise guys make when they played video games with money on the table where they placed a bet.
Joe yells, "One of yall bastards get out the game and go pick up the groceries."
Claude whispers, "He's not doing anything."
Joe, "NOW!"
Claude and Tommy have a silent fight on who should go. Claude ends up going before Joe has to repeat himself.
Joe takes Melissa's phone:
Joe, "Sup Yas?"
Yasmine, "Nothing. Found your charger?"
Joe, "Melissa said it's in the wall, so I'm just going to let her get it. But she needs to concentrate on cooking, so see ya." Hangs up.
Melissa, "Seriously? Get your own charger!"
Joe, "Why you mad?"
Melissa, "This house is a mess. A MESS! Yall expect me to cook, clean, wash, get food, get household supplies, and do everything for war. And I have to also find us a home that fits ALL of us, make sure it's move in ready by the time we get back, because I'm not hearing your mouth about renting someone's home or hotel."
Joe, "So, I'm assuming you already got the vehicles taking care of?"
Melissa scoffs, "Seriously? Why don't you try doing what I do?"
Joe, "No mommas can't do that."
Melissa, "Get out of my face, Joe."
Then, all of a sudden, a huge crashing sound comes from the living room area. The TV came crashing down from the wall thanks to Sione and Tommy play fighting and wrestling.
Melissa, "COME ON! WE JUST GOT THE TV YESETERDAY!"
Tommy, "Man, we're going to need another one. How are we supposed to watch wrestling?"
Melissa grabs the broom and chases Sione, Tommy, and Joe with it. All three men scatter, but Melissa was determined to hit all three of them.

Melissa cleans up as fast as she can then starts prepping again. Fifteen minutes later, big arms wrapped around her waist and lips get planted on the side of her face and neck. Joe, "You mad?"
