You were torn between saving your girlfriend who was still shrieking and stopping your Mum from entering the house. Your Mum would die if she caught Graeme fooling around with another woman and it would doubly difficult to explain why that woman looked exactly like her. He made the decision to intercept his Mum first. Monique was an adult she would find a way to forestall Graeme.
You raced outside to see the real Susie getting out of her car. 'Mom! what are you doing here?'
'Long story son. Is Graeme not here yet?'
'Graeme? Why would he be here? Aren't you meant to be halfway to Hawaii by now?'
'Graeme got into bit of bother. His lawyer was going to bring him home'
You thought quickly 'That would explain the phone message. A message from someone talking about being delayed and could someone else pick up Graeme instead. I thought it was something to do with your trip'
'Oh he must still be at the watch house'
Monica's screams had stopped. Thank god. 'Well maybe he's still waiting for you. Better go straight away'
'Yes, you're right. Why didn't he ring my cell phone? Son, could you stay here and if Graeme turns up give me a call'
'Yep no worries Mum. I'll keep an eye on things'
Mom departed and you felt pretty pleased with yourself. A soon as the car was on the road you returned inside.
The screams had stopped but there were noises coming from the bedroom. The was a knocking sound. You approached the bedroom door.
