MARIA'S DOLLS

Now at school every now and then,  Maria will glance at the baby then smile.  Baby wanted to smile back so bad.  He wasn't sure if it was the right time.   She went to all her classes, hoping that the day went by fast.  But it seems to brag for a long time.    

Meanwhile, back at the house, Grandmom was now worrying.  "This is not like him.  Frank where are you," she said to herself   Then there was a knock on the door.  "Give me a minute, I need to get up from the sofa.  It does take me a while, she said as she slowing but surely got up to answer the door.    When she opened the door,  Richard was standing there.  "What took you so long to open the door?" he said as he pushed himself into the house.  "Who the hell are you, coming to my house this way?" said Grandmom, while trying to push him back out of the door.     "Where's Frank?  He knows who I am.  Where is he?  That little piece of shit took my money and the airline ticket.  Now I call him, and he hung up on me. Old lady where is he?" he said   Then he pushed her and she landed on the sofa.  

"Get out of my way!  I'll call the cops." grandmom yelled   "What the hell makes you think that you will make it to the phone?  Where is Frank?  We had a deal,  he took half.   I came here to pick up the girl." he said while pointing  Grandmom on the chest.  "Oh, I know who you are.  Calm down Frank should be here soon.   I'm not to blame.  I'm also confused.   I  have no idea where the hell he is. Just calm yourself.  Here sit down for a second.   Let's talk." said Grandmom as she patted the other side of the sofa indicating him to sit down.   Richard sat next to her,  "Talk old lady.  Whatever you about to say better be for my benefit.  You understand right?" he said in a very angry tone.  

"You paid  Frank what?" asked Grandmom   "I've given him enough, where is he?" said Richard  "I don't know.  I've told you, I've haven't seen him since yesterday morning.  I was making fun of him for he kept hurting himself.  He was falling all the time.  He kept saying that my grand daughter's dolls were talking to him.  I'd figure he was on something, so I  laugh and then he walked out of the door.  I haven't seen him since." explained Grandmom   "Wait,   the last time I spoke to him, he asked me to call the police.  That he needed help,  I just thought he was trying to chicken out our deal.  He also said something about some creepy dolls.  I really don't remember every word he said.  But I know a lot of it didn't make sense." Richard explained  

"So what's going on then?" asked Grandmom  "Someone might have him tied up somewhere.  That's what I can make out of all this.  Let me tell you something.  Listen to clearly.  I'm coming back for the girl, with or without Frank this deal is going to happen.  I'll be back at nine tonight.  Have her ready. Your not getting any more money until I found out she's really a virgin.  For, all, I know you and Frank are in this together.  And that picture of the girl, is a fake, cause there is no girl. I'm really hoping I'm wrong.  I'll see you at nine, old lady." said Richard as he got up off the sofa, then slam the door on his way out.    

Grandmom just sat there,  "What am I going to do?" she asked herself  Then she placed her head in her hands sat there and worried.  During this time period, Little Rosie was upstairs looking down and listening to the whole conversation.   "Oh no, his coming back for Maria at nine.  Oh no,  I must tell the others," said Rosie to herself as she ran down the hallway then into Maria's room.
