That Day…
Amber was standing in the hallway, arms crossed, eyes narrowed, staring intensely at something or rather, someone ahead of her.
Joseph happened to walk by and paused.
Joseph:
"Uh… sis? What are you staring at?" 😎
Amber didn't look away.
Amber:
"Oh, hi Steve." 😒
Joseph blinked.
Joseph:
"STEVE?? Me??" 😶
(Do I look like that triple-battery man or what—)
He followed her gaze…
…and almost screamed.
Joseph:
"Sis—WHY are you staring at Jonathan bro like that?!" 😱
Amber's expression didn't change.
Amber:
"To eat him." 😤
Joseph froze.
A mix of fear and headache.
Joseph:
"Eat— WHAT?? But—"
Before he could finish, an actual Steve walked behind him.
Steve:
"To eat who, exactly?" 😶
Amber turned her head slowly.
Amber:
"Perfect. You two are here."
She pointed like a general preparing troops.
Amber:
"Joseph. Call your wife." 😎
Joseph stiffened.
Joseph:
"WIFE?! I'm not eve—" 😶
Amber raised one brow.
Deadly.
Amber:
"Joseph." 😈
Joseph straightened instantly.
Joseph:
"Calling! Right now!!!" 😨
Steve, confused but obedient, stepped close.
Steve:
"And… me? Why am I needed?" 😕
Amber didn't blink.
Amber:
"Because I said so Joseph." 😈
Steve slapped his mouth shut.
Steve:
"Right. Got it." 😅
Soon the three of them Joseph, Steve, and now Megan stood in a perfect straight line like soldiers.
Megan:
"Sis… why am I here?" 😐
Steve pointed at Amber.
Steve:
"Ask your sis."
Megan looked at Amber's face.
Amber was tense. Irritated.
Focused like a predator stalking prey.
Megan instantly understood.
Megan:
"…Never mind. No need to ask." 😐
Amber clapped once.
Amber:
"Good. Now listen. We are doing this EXACTLY as I say." 😎
Joseph whispered:
Joseph:
"Uh… sis… this plan feels kinda old fashioned—"
Amber shot him a death glare.
Amber:
"Steve .
Shut up." 😤
Joseph immediately zipped his mouth.
The three stood ready.
Amber exhaled deeply…
eyes locked on Jonathan down the hallway…
and whispered:
Amber:
"Today… I'm catching that idiot husband of mine."
