The house was almost freezing cold when Dodie woke up from the nap she had taken as soon as she finished the phone interview with the local news station WUSA and gotten the boys off to school. She wiggled her nose and sighed as she pulled her frilly pink bathrobe over top of her matching nightgown. She loathed the weather changes. She much preferred the summer or even spring when she could get a proper tan. Winter was repulsive to her since she had to completely cover her gorgeous body with more clothes than were necessary. Even fall was unappealing.
After shoving her feet into the pink and white bedroom slippers by her queen sized bed she yawned and headed out of the room, through the hallway and down the staircase to adjust the thermostat to something remotely bearable. Then she groggily proceeded to the kitchen for another cup of the seaweed tea she had brewed before the interview and her nap. As she poured herself a cup and sat at the table to read the style and fashion section of The Reign her phone in her robe pocket rang.
Fishing it out, she growled," What do you want? "
First there was just an eerie silence. Then she heard what sounded like the overly recorded sound of a car crashing into something hard. Glass shattering. Then a boy screaming dramatically. The hair on the back of her neck rose up and her eyebrows lifted in bemused wonder. What the fuck was this?
A man roughly whispered in a very low tone," Drop your criminal ass out of the race. Or , we'll drop you out. We'll drop you out and in a grave six feet under. Right next to those kids of yours. They go to Barrington Academy, right? Be shame if they got into, say , a car accident. "
