Olivia had a gun stuck in the waistband of her jeans, but she didn’t want to use it on the old woman because of the noise. But that scarf around her neck gave Olivia an idea.

She lifted the woman up like a ragdoll and threw her to the dusty carpet, jumping on top of her so that her knees were on the old woman’s shoulders. The lady was starting to make noises like a frightened turkey, so Olivia punched her in the face. That shut her up, but Olivia instantly regretted the action because the old woman’s big false teeth cut into her left knuckles.

She shook out her stinging hand and then grabbed the woman’s scarf and cinched it tight around her wrinkly neck.

As she choked the life out of the flailing figure, she found her attention drifting to the television screen. Some kind of talk show. Two pregnant women were shoving each other while a lascivious male host hovered over them, clutching his microphone and grinning. A frightened man with stringy hair and a scraggly beard hovered nearby.

By the time the fight between the women had been broken up by a pair of handsy security guards, the old woman was dead.

Olivia stayed on top of her for a few more minutes, though, watching the television, curious to see the paternity results for the angry pregnant women. When it was revealed that neither baby had been fathered by guy with the stringy hair, Olivia shrugged and went to find the old woman’s car keys.
