Bloody Fog - Episode 23

 

Gerald had the burning desire to beat Dee black and blue but Timmy held him back.

"Is Dee 3 or something???" Nick rudely spoke as Dee tried wipe out the blood with her handkerchief.

"What's happening here???" Margaret asked running down the stairs.
"This boy took my daughter I don't know where." Gerald bawled out.
"Is Dee a child??? come on. I thought even that the house was on fire."Margaret snarled, "Dee, my dear are you okay????" She continued running towards her.

Dee just nodded not moving her eyes from Nick's nose . "Nick I think you should go home, I will take it from here????" suggested Margaret and Nick agreed intertwining hands with Dee.

"Let's go Dee," said Nick and Dee agreed with no hesitation.
"Dee you are going nowhere. Have you forgotten your encounter with Travis????" Gerald thundered trying to  fight out Timmy's grip.

"Nick just go, please." Margaret howled noticing Dee's watery eyes, "You will make things worse."

Nick tried to pull his hand away but Dee couldn't let him go.
"Dee, we will talk I am sorry about this mess." Nick grieved hugging her but Dee didn't wanna let go.

When Nick left the house, Dee ran upstairs and locked herself up in her room.

Timmy finally freed Gerald and when he was about to run upstairs to scold Dee, Margaret held his hand.

"How many times do I have to tell you, Dee is delicate????" Margaret hissed with a stony expression.
"Does she look like she is delicate while she barely sleeps at home." Gerald replied laughing sarcastically.

"I am warning you Gerald Kebata, you don't want me as an enemy." Margaret threatened him giving him a don't mess with me look.

Gerald shocked, threw her hand off his arm and walked towards her.
"Are you threatening me????"asked Gerald slapping  Margaret that she staggered back but Timmy held her," Dad are you mad??? Why did you hit mum???" Timmy yelled.

"Don't you ever lay your hand on me again." Margaret cried out pointing a gun at Gerald and Timmy pulled back, "I will kill you, I swear Gerald. How dare you slap me????" She yelled, a grin painted on her face.

Gerald without further ado, walked closer to her confidently,"Kill me then, because of late I don't know whose side you are on."he barked placing the gun on his forehead.

"Mum, don't do it

. He is your husband." Timmy pleaded but his mother couldn't hear it, "Today I have lost the little respect I had for you Gerald. Just remember I am here because of my kids and my patience is running out." Margaret sneered dropping the gun from his face.

"Is this about him??? Do you still love him???? Don't you love me anymore????" cried out Gerald shaking her by the shoulders, "answer me, do you love me????" he yelled at Margaret.

Margaret just stood there looking at him, no other emotions on her face but disgust.
"I am sorry I hit you my love but off late you go against me, you are disrespecting me, you do what you want." Gerald wailed wanting to cup  Margaret's face but she walks back.

"You know what, I am the one who gave Dee permission to go and see Nick.

. Are you gonna hit me again or kill me or torture me???" Margaret ranted blinded with a five-course serving of rage. To her it was surprisingly good.

"No I said I am sorry. I won't hit you again. I love you. You know I can never hurt you  but what you doing is wrong," Gerald tried convincing Margaret and the more he walked towards her the more she walked back.

"Gerald Kebata I don't love you and here take this gun," she said walking towards him. She handed him the gun and cupped his face,"Just kill yourself, just do me this favour. And I am moving to the guest room am done."She  cussed out and Gerald stood as gormless as a guppy.

Margaret spat anger while obviously he was holding back tears.
She then kissed his cheek and walked upstairs.
Timmy was left astonished, he didn't know this side of his mother existed.

Gerald fell on his knees and Timmy saw what he had never seen before. Gerald's tears.
"Find everything you can about that Nick???" Gerald ordered.
"Dad, you are kidding me. I have a lot in my plate. I have to find out who killed my daughter and the one who leaked Nelson's death video. I have serious things to do and I can't add  on a silly thing just because Nick loves Dee and you can't deal with it."Timmy huffed, one hand on his waist and the other rubbing the back of his neck.

"I don't care Timmy, it's an order." Gerald shouted and behind that voice was pain.
"Just do it please," Gerald whispered letting out a pained breath.

He then stood up and walked away to his office.
"So even strong guys cry." Timmy thought to himself.
