One afternoon after Lorenzo came back from softball practice, he was surprised that Mary was at home, the family maid who is always in the help of Lorenzo's family ever since Lorenzos dad had been in jail for murder. "How was your day?" Lorenzo asked in a polite way, Mary smiled "good. Thank you for asking" she said. Lorenzo's mom appeared. She was a tall woman with long brown hair,blue eyes and always wearing red lipstick. "Something wrong mother?" Lorenzo asked. Lorenzo's mother was twisting her hands together nervously as if there was something she didn't want to have to say or something she didn't want to believe. "Tell me what's wrong, mother," said Lorenzo, walking towards her. "Come downstairs with me" leading the way towards the large dining room. "We'll talk over here" said mother with a scared and nervous tone. "Logan was murdered." mother said. Lorenzo was speechless and had no idea what to do, think, or say. "What happened? Who killed him? Why did he have to leave me so soon?" Lorenzo asked while bursting into tears. "He was my best friend!, my brother!, the only person I would talk to when I'm sad!, the only person who had my back!, the only person I grew up with since I was a baby!" yelled Lorenzo while bursting into more tears. "We will figure out who murdered him, son. Everything will get better day by day" said the mother. 2 weeks have passed. Lorenzo still hadn't got out of his room. Lorenzo walked to the kitchen and saw Mary by the kitchen table. "Hope your day is going good," said Mary with a big smile on her face. "yeah, thanks" replied Lorenzo with a strange tone knowing something was off. Lorenzo started to think about how strange Mary has been acting ever since Logan was murdered, while walking himself back to his room. Mother knocks on Lorenzo's door, "come in" said Lorenzo. "How are u holding up son" replied mother. You hear nothing but silence while Lorenzo takes a big breath and asks his mother " has Mary been weird around you mother? Or not her usual self?" Mother walked closer to Lorenzo and put her hand on his shoulder. "Is everything ok son?" she said. " I don't know mom, ever since Logan died and my life has been missable she's been way better than before its like if she likes seeing me miserable". He replied "I don't get what you are trying to say Lorenzo '' said mother with a questionable tone. "Mom you don't think Mary would.. no no no she would never do something like that to my best friend..." said Lorenzo. "Son we are overthinking this too much get some rest and hope for a better day tomorrow" replied mother. Next day- "hey mother what's that weird smell" asked Lorenzo. " I don't know son, maybe Mary forgot to take out the trash" replied the mother, while she walked to the kitchen to get some fruit. "Going out for groceries i'll be back at 5pm" said Mary. Lorenzo right away looked at the time " that gives me 30 minutes to see what I can find I know my gut is telling me she had to do something with Logan's murder" said Lorenzo in his head. Lorenzo walkes quietly to the basement where the weird smell is coming from. "Huh why does Mary's closet stick like a dead body?" Lorenzo questioned himself. "MOM! MOM!' screamed Lorenzo. The mother comes running to the basement where Lorenzo is "OMG! what is Logan's dead body doing here?!" mother yelled. "We need to do something Lorenzo, call the police!" said the mother bursting into tears. "NO we will wait till Mary comes home so she can explain" said Lorenzo angrily. 30 minutes later- Mary arrives home. "What is wrong with you! Why would you do such a thing!" said Lorenzo in a mad tone with tears down his eyes. Mary laughed. "Did your mother ever tell you the truth lorenzo?" Mary said. "Mom what is she talking about'' asked Lorenzo in a worried voice. "Your father murdered my husband and ruined my happiness so I had to get my revenge and murder your best friend since he was your happiness" Said Mary while laughing. "Bonus, your mom was in on it all along'' added Mary. "mother.." said Lorenzo in a scared voice. " You are my Biggest mistake!" said the mother while getting something from her bag. Next thing you know Lorenzo is dead.
