Claire was once again drenched, she rang Tony’s bell, but nothing. “Tony, it’s Claire. Are you in there?” She fumbled for her cell and dialed his number. She could hear his phone ringing on the other side of the door. She stared at her cell, Damn, I have to unload these photos. She shook her head, ashamed to be thinking of anything, but Tony. Something wasn’t right.

She turned, ran down his stairway, and looked for the pot where the key was. She had taken care of his plants several years ago, using the hidden key in the pot under the stairs to gain entry. Please, Tony. Let it still be here. There were four pots, she didn’t remember so many. Her adrenalin rush had her in a near panic, she searched under the first two. The third one gave her the prize she wanted.

Running up his stairs, she opened his door slightly, enough to poke her head through the opening. “Tony, are you here? It’s Claire. I need to know that you’re ok.”

No answer.

She stepped into the flat, her fear mounting. It didn’t feel good, something was amiss. “Tony, are you in here?” She scanned the living room, then walked down the hall to the bedroom. Everything was neat and tidy. She turned and headed toward the kitchen. The smell began to make her nose quiver. “Oh my God.” She stood in the entrance and saw her friend lying in a puddle of blood. She screamed.

“God, no!” she ran back into the living room, and grabbed his phone to call 911. “My name is Claire Winslow, I’m at my friend’s home at 432 C Street. I think he’s dead, blood is everywhere! Oh my God, oh God.” A voice spoke to her. “Ok, yes. Please hurry, blood’s everywhere. Oh God.” She hung up. One hand was over her mouth, the other, gripping her cheek, hoping to stop herself from screaming again. Pacing, she waited.

Then she heard his voice.

Turning sharply, she saw Bill. “Honey, are you alright? I’m here for you, Claire.” The sirens could now be heard in the distance.

He hurried over to her and reached out to put his arms around her, to comfort her.

“Get away from me, you animal!” She used her strength to push him away. “Why? What did he do to you? You don’t even know him. Why?” She stepped back to stare at the monster in the room.

“Claire, you’re upset. You don’t know what you’re saying. In fact, I don’t know what you’re saying. What’s wrong? Why are you upset?”

“Why are you here, Bill? You tell me that, Senator.”

“Honey, you seemed upset when you left, so I followed to see what was wrong. I still don’t know.”

The commotion outside the apartment interrupted his thoughts, a fear came over him. “Claire, I’m not going to play games with you anymore. Let me just be clear with you. Ok, honey? Are you listening? We won’t have any more mishaps with people you care about if you just sign the pledge promising that you will vote with us on Friday.
