xp_logsTandy’s Uncle arrives at the mansion to give Tandy some very bad news.
TRIGGER WARNING: Death/Mourning
This plot has some potentially distressing content
Michael twisted his hat in his hands as he stood nervously in the hallway. One of the staff members had gone to get Tandy leaving the priest to worry. He'd had to comfort many grieving families as part of his job. He'd just never imagined he'd be on this side of the conversation.
Tandy entered a few moment later, "Hey Uncle Mikel. It is usually I that comes to visit you not the other way around." Stopping when she was in front of the Holy Man. "What is wrong?" Picking up that he wasn't in his cheery mood.
"Tandy..." Michael fell silent as he s stared at his niece and gestured to a nearby couch. "Sit down, I ... I'm not sure how to say this. I got a call from the police today..."
Taking a sit on the couch and she felt her body go cold, as if time stood steal, "The police? What is wrong Uncle Mike?"
" It's... your housekeeper called them" Michael took a ragged deep breath, wishing he was anywhere else right now. " She found them when she arrived in the morning." He looked at Tandy, a devastated look painted across his face. "They're dead Tandy."
Tandy was silent for a moment, "My...?" Her voice trailed off as her entire feelings went numb and she looked away. "How?"
Michael looked at Tandy wondering if he should spare her the details or not before realizing he couldn't protect her, not from this. "They were shot, someone broke into the house and shot them," he replied burying his head in his hands with a body shuddering sob.
Tandy stood up and looked away - her mind didn't know how to process the information she was getting. Pulling out her cellphone she quickly called her step-dad's cell phone, but it kept ringing until it went to voicemail - she did the same to her moms. "No.." She quickly tried again, as the tears started to water her eyes and it went to voicemail again.
Michael reached out to rest his hand on Tandy's shoulder pulling her into a hug. Even through his own pain Michael's heart went out to the girl. He found he couldn't say anything, he just held Tandy as if she was the last remaining thread in the world. Which she was, his last connection to his sister.
Was this real? Tandy lowered her phone as she was pulled into a hug - her skin started to glow brightly. Her mind went into a scenario on why someone would shoot her parents, money? Robbery? Closing her eyes and buried her head into his jacket as the tears finally fell.
