Becker's quad

Chapter Five

We got home five minutes ago. We're still in our school uniform. Patiently waiting for Mom to make her entrance. Abuse us or punish us badly. Or ground us from ever going to school again. Lol..
I know the last part is not possible though.

"Ok. I'm going to go check on her" I said feeling uncomfortable on the chair.

"That's a great idea. I don't like not going to school and sitting idly on a sofa" Annie concurred.

I stood up look at the rest and Sasha just shrugged. Desire nodded and smiled. Cutely.

I removed my shoe and left my socks on.

"Why'd you do that?" Sasha asked.

"I'll know when to run." I glare at her.

"Are you a spy?" Annie said

"Better save than sorry" I shrugged.

"I agree" Desire said. Pointing her fore finger

The rest looked at us like ... WHY?

I throw my hands in the air.

"If she's in A very bad mood. She always talks to herself. So I'll listen before knocking. and if it's a bad mood day. I'm coming down here without her" I explained.

"Oooh!" Sasha said.

"That's plus able" Annie agreed.

"Don't get caught" desire added

"Arrgh. Just pray she's not in a bad mood" I said pick the stair two at a time.

I heard them mumbled something. But I wasn't listening anymore. Liz and I are having a discussion.

' that's a bad idea liz' I whisper out to myself.

' listening on her is not bad' she argued

'ill just stay at a distance and wait for her to speak or something' I said back.

' I...' she was saying.

' we're here. Stop talking'

I moved closer to the door and stood inches away from it.

"Oh that's good" I heard her said in a cheerful voice.

Hmm... She's not angry?

' just listen?'
This voice will be the death of me.

I took shaky steps forward. And pressed my ear against the door.

"Oh to hell with him agent Dan" I heard her say again.

To hell with who?

"I hope he stay dead this time around. Don't mess this up for me" she said again.

"Oh. The kids will be fine. You need not worry."

We'll be fine with what?

"Oh. Trust me they're stronger than you give them credit for"

I couldn't hear what the other person was saying. But I know they're both killing someone from their discussion.

"I'll call you back later tonight. They've just arrived from school"

And somehow we're involved in this killing mission?

I quickly retract my steps and head down stairs.

Six pairs of eyes look up expectantly at me. I didn't know what to tell them.

Should I tell them.. that's I just heard our mother probably have someone kill another human being?
