You Dirty Rat part (1 of 7)
Subject: The dirty rotten husband
It only took her a few seconds to realize that the bomb
that was in the ignition was meant to kill her.
When it went off she was still in the local cafe looking
for her mink coat she had left on the back of the chair.
Her husbands poor innocent girl friend was blown
to pieces and nothing was left to identify
her except her big wide brimmed hat......and
bits and pieces of a mink coat.
She saw her husbands smirking face as she peeked through
Web
the cafes neon sign blinking on and off to the beat of loud sirens coming from up the street.
The check was paid and she decided
it was a good idea to slip through the empty
kitchen and while no one was looking.
She grabbed a jacket and left the building.
The wide brimmed hat she always wore
was carefully hidden under the jacket
and she quickly decided to get away
from the scene so she caught a bus.
She did not care where the bus took her
as long as it was far away from the city
and this horrible nightmare that had
happened this afternoon.
Her husbands girl friend had been mimicking
her and wearing similar clothes because
she thought it was what he liked. The girl friend
also knew the keys to her car were in the coat pocket.
So just for a minute when she got up to go
to the counter and pay for her lunch
that was when the girl friend struck
and stole the keys to the car and the coat.
The bus ride luckily ended out near
her parents old homestead.
No one was home as they were
traveling in Greece for another month.
She got off the bus and traveling the back
walks found the hidden entrance to the garden.
She quickly entered the back courtyard and
let herself into the old servants residence.
Now she was safe because even her husband
did not know about this hidden residence.
From the outside it just looked like a basement wall
as the door was concealed to keep intruders away.
She quickly gained her composure and went up
the back steps that entered into the kitchen.
No one knew of this entrance into the kitchen
as it had not been used for over 50 years.
She went up to her parents room and collected
some toiletries and towels then off to the linen
closet for extra blankets and pillows. Then she
went to her old room and found subtle clothes.
She hauled this down to the servants quarters and
went back up for food and drink and some candles and
flashlights. She also saw her Mothers forgotten
cell phone on the counter and took it also.
She locked the entrance to the basement and
started to set up the quarters before darkness .
The bed was already made and there was a few
plates & silverware so she was good to go.
Then she drew a large bath to cleanse herself
of her terrible ordeal ...she soaked for at least an hour.
then she lit the stove and put on a pot of water for tea
and sat down to contemplate what to do next.
That dirty dirty rotten rat she was married to
had planned to kill her all along and now
he thought he had done his dirty deed and
now she had to think up a plan to get him caught........
