SCENE I SISTERS
It is 3 a.m. and Brenda is awakened out of her sleep with a sound that urges her to reach for her nickel-plated .45 snuggled under her pillow. She tries to gather her senses together as she tip-toes from her bedroom. The house is dark and she doesn’t want to turn on any lights just in case her intruder is nearby. She walks down the stairs closely against the wall looking around. She sees a shadow coming from her living room. She walks a little further toward the living room and points her .45 at her intruder’s head. Brenda turns the lights on. “If you move I will blow your brains all over my Royal Princess Curtains,” she said.
The intruder stops and raises her hands. The intruder asks, “May I sit down on your couch please?” “Have a seat,” Brenda says to her. She sits down and crosses her legs. “Now, do you mind telling me why you are in my house at 3 a.m. before I send you off to meet your maker?” Brenda asks her. The mysterious lady in black says to her “You might want to look to your left before you pull that trigger”. Her Nana is tied up with tape over her mouth at the kitchen table. “If you do anything to hurt my Nana, your life is over!” Brenda warned her. The lady in black smugly responds, “I will take this beauty before you get any ideas with it. You might get your Nana killed trying something. Nice choice of weapon.”
“Who are you and what do you want?” Brenda asked her with disgust. “I don’t want you. I want your sister.” The intruder tells Brenda to take a seat. Three other intruders come from upstairs and tell the woman the house is clear. “See, we could have killed you without hesitation. You are not the one we want. Like I said. We want your sister Ashley!” she shouts at Brenda. “I don’t know where Crazy is,” Brenda says to her with a stern voice and look. “What makes you think I know where she’s at?” Brenda asks her. “She called you two weeks ago. After that her phone goes dead.” “First of all, who are you and what do you want Crazy for?”
“Your sister had to be crazy to do what she did,” hissed the lady in black. “Could you let my Nana go, please? She is not going to hurt anyone.” The lady motions to her other companions and one unties Nana. Nana gets up and slaps the one who untied her. “She’s feisty for an old lady,” said the one that untied her. “If I was fifty years younger, I would have done more than slapped you!” Nana said to her. Nana walks over to Brenda and asks, “Are you alright baby?” “Yes, Nana I am fine. Did they hurt you in any way Nana?” Brenda asked her. “It takes more than some tie wraps to hurt me,” Nana reassured Brenda in her soft voice. “What has Ashley gotten us into now?” Nana asks Brenda. “We are about to find out,” Brenda says to her. “If I knew where my crazy sister was, what makes you think I would tell you?” “You want to go there?” the mysterious lady in black asks Brenda.
The intruders are dressed in black with black calf-length boots on. They each are standing there with guns in their hands. “Alright, we will go there since you don’t want to be friendly. Seeing how we could have killed you both in your sleep… You have a daughter named April, do you not?” “If you think about touching or harming April in any kind of way, I will drag your body to hell and back!” Brenda retorted. “Don’t be so dramatic Brenda,” the lady said smiling at her. “Now tell us where Ashley is before I put a bullet in your Nana’s brain right now!” she angrily shouted. Brenda screams at the lady and says, “Alright, don’t hurt my Nana.” The one that Nana slapped earlier now had a gun to her head and slapped Nana back. Brenda jumped up and punched the intruder in the face and she fell to the floor. She points her gun to shoot Brenda and the mysterious lady shoots her companion. “I told you not unless I give the order. Did not I say that! She screams at her as she lays there and dies. “Good thing we have silencers on our weapons. We wouldn’t want to wake the neighbors, now do we?” She gathers her composure and turns to Brenda and says, “One last time, where is Crazy, as you call her?”
Brenda and Nana look at each other. “What does she have that you want back so badly?” Brenda asks her. “She has a very important flash drive that she stole from my employer. I was sent to retrieve it. Crazy wasn’t at any of her usual spots or home when we went looking for her. We knew where you live and here we are.”
“Now do you want me to do to your Nana what I did to my friend? I liked her very much so imagine what I would do to your Nana. She seems very sweet and nice. I would hate to have to tell April that you made me do this to her grandmother.” Brenda looked at her with murder in her eyes. “Something you want to say, Brenda Meyers?” Brenda’s eyes opened wide from her saying her government name.
“Who are you?” Brenda asked her with an inquisitive look. “You should want to know who my employer is instead of who I am. I am no one, just a clean-up person, when someone spills something that needs to be cleaned up real quietly, you know what I mean. Now that we have all gotten acquainted here, where is Crazy? Because I have wasted enough time here with your dysfunctional family.” “Truth be told I don’t know where she is,” Brenda replied. “Brenda, you are much smarter than that. I thought you said you loved your Nana. Then why put her life in jeopardy like that? Nana you have lived a long life, right? You’ve met your great-great-granddaughter got to know both of your grandkids and adopted two more. So your life has been fulfilling. “Brenda, do you get where I am going with this?”
Brenda tells Nana to sit until she gets back. “What are you talking about?” her assailant says to her. “You want my sister, correct? Once I give you my sister, you call back and tell them to leave Nana here without any harm coming to her or you don’t get Ashley. Are you a woman of your word or not? We live by a code on the streets you and I,” Brenda said to her. “You know me and what I am capable of doing,” Brenda says to her. “Give me your word that she would not be harmed once you get my sister.” “I give you my word, Brenda!” Brenda turns to Nana and whispers inaudibly in her ear as she hugs her. “Brenda, I am not in the mood for any games here,” the mysterious lady says to her.
“I am only doing what you asked me to do. Give you my crazy sister.” “You would turn your sister in like that?” “To save my Nana; yes, I would! Ashley can take care of herself once you meet up with her.” “Where is she at, Brenda?” asked the mysterious lady. “Come on and I will take you to her.” “Brenda, Brenda, Brenda. I don’t think you believe that I would shoot your dear old Nana dead right now if you try anything with me!”
“What type of brainless idiot do you take me for? Shoot her Nana!” the lady instructed her comrades. “No, no, no!” Brenda yells to her. “Can I get my phone from upstairs please?” Brenda and the mysterious lady that seems to know everything about her goes upstairs and get her phone. “If you try and say anything too crazy in code, Nana stops breathing, period.” Brenda nods in agreement. After dialing some numbers, Ashley picks up: “Brenda, why are you calling me so early in the morning? I told you this was an emergency number, not to call me whenever you feel like it,” Ashley says to her. “I need to see you. Nana is in trouble,” Brenda replied ignoring her admonition. “What? What kind of trouble is Nana in? What? She dropped her baking spoon behind the oven and can’t get it. I crack myself up!” Ashley says laughing. “Ashley, just get over here now, please. I don’t have time to be playing any games with you.” Without confirming, Ashley hangs the phone up.
Ashley comes walking through the door of Brenda’s house after about fifteen minutes. She sees all the company that
