When Linda got home, she realized that no one was home, and that pissed her off.
She called out to Jennifer, but no one answered. Hence, she asked for Kevin, but he wasn't there either. Even Leonard was nowhere to be seen.
She was still fuming when she heard someone knocking on the door.
Frustrated, she answered the door and was glad to see Skylar, Kevin's girlfriend, standing right outside.
Skylar looked around and scanned the place before asking in a sweet tone, “Mrs. Wilson, is Kevin here?”
Linda's smile turned upside down immediately. “Ah, Skye. I haven't seen him anywhere. Do you know where he might be?”
As Skylar made her way into the house, she answered, “I was hanging out with him at the bar earlier, but he was in a terrible mood and drove away. I was worried that he’d get in trouble, so I dropped by to check in on him. Has he not returned yet?”
“Well, it's as you see. He is nowhere to be seen,” replied Linda who left the door open.
A hint of curiosity and suspicion flashed past Skylar's eyes.
Linda put her hand on her waist and complained, “I have no idea where Jennifer is, either. She's not home, and that is really pissing me off.”
“This is all Donald's fault. Oh, how I wish he'd just drop dead,” protested Skylar as well.
They were still in the middle of their conversation when they saw, from the corner of their eyes, a guy in a tuxedo standing right outside.
They turned around and saw Donald there. Both of their gazes were hostile when they turned to him.
Furious, Linda roared, “You worthless, stupid punk! You got us in trouble. How dare you show your face after the mess you made?”
If glares could kill, Donald would already be pushing the daisies.
Skylar was just as angry, but she calmly said, “I heard that Silas is looking for you. After going into hiding for a year, you returned after learning about Silas’ demise. If only you had just died and never returned.”
Donald ignored them. He scanned his surroundings and made his way to the living room.
Linda was about to throw things at Donald when he suddenly ran to her, put his hand on her shoulder, and pressed her onto the table.
He had her pinned, just like that.
