suspense two

...

Part Two.


-"Get here, Caron!!! Get here!!! Damn!!! He never learns."
-"What did I say?"
-"I know, I know."

A car is coming in their direction. Ottür has called. The driver honks the horn once, twice, thrice. The signal. They rush back to the house immediately. Caron is sitting on the steps. His tongue hanging out. It's like another day, completely. But it isn't and it adds to the mystery.

-"What's happened?"
The moving lorry is packed up and ready to go. The movers are just having a cup of coffee in the kitchen. Kent runs inside and yells frantically to the movers.

-"For God sake, don't drink the coffee!!! It's been poisoned!!!"
The men looks at him in complete disbelief.
-"What coffee?"
-"Damn it! Damn it!"

Kent runs back out and stops dead on the steps just beside Caron, their canine companion. Kent pants and his face is contorted and Evelyn gasps.
-"No!!!"
-"No!" says Kent, shaking his head.
-"NOO!!!" Evelyn screams.

Suddenly there's laughter and the movers appear in the door with Ottür. They stop just outside on the steps, looks at Kent and Evelyn and Caron, their canine companion. Kent lets out a sigh and so do Evelyn. Caron gets up and runs off chasing shadows.

(pause)

Evelyn and Kent are sitting on the steps looking at the back of the lorry as it moves away from the house.
-"I don't get it." Evelyn says.
-"He fooled us." Kent answers, dreamily.
-"Who?" says Evelyn.
-"I don't know." Kent answers, dreamily.

Simultaneously in the attic, Ottür and Dorotea is closely inspecting a pipe.
-"There just have to be a bend here somewhere. There's the wall, right?"
-"Yes, it is." says Dorotea, touching the wall.
-"And here's the pipe."
-"I'm with you, wholeheartedly." Dorotea continues, touching the pipe.
-"It defies all logic." Ottür whispers.
-"Hm?" says Dorotea, leaning closer to the pipe while sliding her hand along the pipe.
-"Do you find them?"
-"Oh, yes. They're here, alright. There's several of them."
-"Thank God! That was close."
