Sibblings
The baker sibling returned back to their rented hotel room. They were broke they couldn't afford separate rooms. I'm fact they took many city transit buses to get here. They were scraping and barely surviving. It's not like they had anywhere else to go. They saw the obituary in the paper and came to get what they believed was owed to them.
" Why did you fall for the Richie name. You know her brothers name is James ." Yelled Bobby -Joe now angry.
" I was just playing a part,besides Norma-jean could have had a third child. I was taking a risk." She defended.
" What part was that . How fast we get kicked out for not knowing our own niece and nephew? The only risk you took is looking stupid. Can't you just tone it down and stop being you ." Fumed Bobby -Joe.
" Well I didn't know the daughter was going to be there. I thought it was a memorial not a family thing. It's been over ten years since we last saw her." Whined Ruth-Anne.
" We are running out of money. We are in a flea ridden hotel. We are surviving off of crackers and peanut butter and free samples from the farmers market. What other brilliant plan do you have for us to lose what little we have?" He said frustrated.
" Well what do you think we can do. All our families money is in that complex. It be better if it burned down and get the insurance money." Ruth-Anne said upset.
" What did you say? Yes that might work. That way we get the money in that clause our father made in case of complete destruction. But we need to make sure all the tenants are out . " Planned Bobby -Joe.
" It was just a snide remark not a suggestion. What are you going to do? Get some gasoline and make that complex extra crispy. Maybe we can go see James to get more information about his sister so we can get insider knowledge of the complex. " Schemed Ruth -Anne.
" Oh that's brilliant. Let's go visit the one person who can kill us. You forget he killed his own mother. You must have a death wish. " He fussed.
" I do like to flirt with danger. But that is besides the point. " She said smiling deviously.
" It's your funeral. Don't drag me down with you. There are others way to get access to the complex." Said Bobby -Joe hiking up a wanted at in the newspaper . In red circled a ad for pest control technicians.
" Ewww. You want us to get a job. Why do you hate me" Cried Ruth -Anne in a spoiled voice .
" No you idiot . Look the complex has a exterminator. We can scope out the place. Set it up to douse it with enough gasoline while we are there to work." He explained trying not to lose his sister's attention.
" Ohhhh. " It finally clicked in her head his plans.
In the police station Christopher sat back and took a deep breath . Regina distracting James did the trick. He sang like a bird. Now everything was out in the open only insanity was the plausible plead. James had to be insane to do all the things he discussed with Regina.
I'm dealing with a mad man. He really is unhinged Barry. There is no way to win this case unless he pleads temporarily insanity. James kept referring to the woman as a tenant maybe she has some insight that will help his cause or maybe it would make it worse .
Regina returned home late and Victoria came out wearing something someone will pay for her company. Regina rolled her eyes as Victoria was sitting on the sofa.
" You look well cheap." Snickered Regina.
" I rather be cheap than free." Retorted Victoria.
" Oh does he pay you for these services? That's news to me. Do be careful because he sure is not. Unless you want your grandson to be grandson uncle. You'll be knocked up and we can all truly be one big happy Inbred family." Laughed Regina .
" Are you jealous that Roger prefers me to you?" Snipped Victoria.
" Careful mother I'd hate for you to be removed from the scenario. You may be my birth mother but remember that won't save you from me. I harbor no preservation for you. If it was up to me. If I can't have Roger I'll make sure no one can. So I suggested you don't get too comfortable in your position. Accidents happen everyday ,every minute,to everyone." Said Regina in a low voice warning her.
Victoria throat grew dry realizing the threat that was given. She seen Regina do it . She saw what Roger and Ryder did to remove those two woman Regina beat to death. Those were someones daughters. Victoria had to admit Regina was unpredictable which made her dangerous.
Roger was in her eye and he was the father of her child.that she knew she could never compete with.
Meanwhile Bethany sat in the lobby after making an appointment with Billings and Frasier insurance .she watched the ditzy receptionist file her mails while loudly smacking her gum for the past hour. She wondered if the girl had a single neuron in her head the way she acted.
" Miss Grigori Mr. Fraiser will see you now. " Said a dark hair girl in a very short mini suit on. Bethany followed her into a room with a mahogany meeting table with fancy water pitcher . Ice in a bucket and some tea cakes and macarons in the center.
" Please take a seat ." Said the sharp looking business man .
Bethany did as she was told.
" You are a hard person to find miss Grigori ." He said starting his paperwork in front of him.
" We are here today as last will for Gregory Zehetii life insurance policy list you as a beneficiary. Along with the unnamed child." She stated.
" I'm sorry did you say Gregory zehetii. He died. When did he die ? And wouldn't his wife suppose to inherit this before me?" She said shocked as her heart fell as she could feel it breaking inside her. She hated him for leaving her and marrying another but she had some feelings for him being the father to her daughter.
" Yes he died about seven months ago. Cause of death was Accidental suicide." He said his face twisting as he was also confused.
" Accidental suicide? How does one accidentally kill themselves?" Questioned Bethany.
" Your guess. Is as good as mine. Usually the act of self surrender or suicide would make the policy null and void at this point,but for some reason he requested this clause of unnatural death to be a staple to the will. Since he did infact die unnaturally it out the policy back on track.
" He paused scratching his head at the logistics of legal terminology of it all . He then continued .
"Anyways he left you the entire sum of his policy to you and his surviving unknown child. This child shall inherit the Zehetii mansion and family business upon the ripe age of twenty-one or upon death with one Bethany Grigori as chair holder until the rightful age on the policy . May I have the child in questions name and birthdate to confirm age and identity? " He rattled on like he was in a hurry.
" Sunshine Marie Valentine. February fourteenth ." Bethany paused " he gave her the entire company?" She asked suspiciously.
" And the Zehetii estates . Now he has a son with his previous wife he will only inherit the estate upon verification of a paternity test when the child is born. We haven't been able to get in touch with a Regina Zehetii since the last reading of the will. " He stated.
" Did Gregory question the paternity oh his son with her?" Bethany asked curiously.
" Apparently so. He was quite clear of his wishes. He made it to the point to not share his plans with his current spouse and all details would be permitted to you . " He concluded.
Bethany sat back and breathed a deep breath . It was a lot to process .
" But why. He wanted me to give up the baby for adoption. He didn't want children?" She said suddenly.
" Was the adoption agency Hollister and Wright?" He asked looking through his contracts .
" Yes I believe that was the agency name?" Replied Bethany.
" Apparently he bought that company . That was just preparations for the Zehetii adoption. He wanted the child to remain with family. " He revealed.
Bethany sat back . The room felt heavier now. Gregory lied he actually wanted the baby all this time. He set up all this to make her secured in his dynasty. Then Bethany thought Regina must be very angry right now with her. He left all inheritance discussion to me. But why?
" He trusted you." Said the Mr. Frasier as he watched Bethany's face contemplating the information in front of her. Like he read her mind.
" Of course. Thank you for letting me know . " She said with a loss of words.
" I know it's a lot to process but he wanted you to have full control over these inheritance set up. Mr. Zehetii must have loved you very much."stated the insurance agent.
" I'm seeing that." She said confused.
" He also set up a trust fund and a plan for said child's twenty first birthday celebration to inherit the assets he mentioned." He said proudly.
" You may use available funds to support your daughter until she inherits her company and estates. Funds will be available in ninety days from signed documents and claimed inheritance." He explained.
" I see . Thank you Mr. Frasier for your time to talk to me. " She sighed face white and the room began to spin the information was overwhelming . Bethany stood up as exited the room in daze. She heard the agent talking but muffled in her ears and handing her a card as he called the elevator for her. She vaguely remembers shaking his hand as she went to her car with the packet from the Zehetii inheritance in her hand.
Bobby-Joe and Ruth-Anne sits in the lobby of the local pest control division. The night before Ruth-Anne pleaded how her delicate nature made it impossible for her to touch such chemicals . Bobby -Joe known his sister ever the overdramatic princess hasn't lifted a finger in her life . She was a serial dater . She go out on dates for free food and gifts but when they wanted to control her she find any excuse why her job was to please the current person she was dating. That work was not in her vocabulary.
Bobby-Joe has secured an interview with one of the various names he used . He honestly didn't want a job or even have an honest job,but since Ruth -Anne refused to cooperate and help him with this plan he had to do it all by himself. He went back in the interview room as Ruth- Anne distracted the security officer that she was having female problems and wished to take. Are of female needs.
" I'm sorry ma'am no one past those doors without a badge or a pass." Stated the security blocking Ruth -Anne from entering.
" I have been waiting all day for an interview and my bladder is about to burst. I have a condition where I need to make frequent bathroom visits. You know it's unlawful to deny someone with a medical condition to use the public facilities." She argued.
" That might be true if we actually had such a thing as a public facility. Unfortunately all our facilities are company owned and private . Only accessable to the employees that work here." He said politely.
" Well I will be an employee. Think of me as a future prospect. A future employee of this fine establishment. " She bargained.
" Well unless you are a current employee I can't let you use private facilities for employees only. You can try the gas station down the road. " Redirect the security officer.
Ruth-Anne stomped her feet like a child and puffed her face red . She blew air out of her nose and layed on the floor.
" I won't move from this spot until I can use the bathroom." She demanded.
" I don't care if you become the area rug your not going inside. So lay there for all I care. Don't get mad if someone steps on you." Smirked the security as he shook his head at her antics.
"Ahhh. Ahhh. Ahhhhhh.im going to pee on your floor if you don't let me in to use the bathroom right now. Ahhh. Ahhh " Ruth-Anne screamed in frustration her plan wasn't working out. The lobby constituents looked at the woman pitching a fit on the ground now.
" Will someone shut her up ." Complained a person waiting in the room as a few customers moved out of the room away from the ridiculous woman making a spectacle of herself.
Bobby -Joe finished his interview as he shook the interviewers hand.as he heard Ruth -Anne in the lobby. He knew he had to hurry up and get what he came for before she got them both kicked out .
" Thank you Mr . Johnson I appreciate you taking the time to see me today?" Flattered Bobby-Joe. As he ignored Ruth -Anne in the lobby as he saw the man heading towards the distracting noise in the lobby.
" May I use your restroom before I leave?" Asked Bobby-Joe. Before he lost his opportunity because of his loud mouth sister. He said to distract not cause a investigative scene.
" Of course. It is two doors past that left hallway. When your done turn right to exit how you came in." Explained Mr. Johnson. As he went to investigate the noise he was now hearing.
Bobby -Joe nodded his head in understanding. Then went down the hall and looked back to see if the Mr. Johnson had left. The hall way was clear and he opened the door that said supply area. Bobby -Joe looked around then an idea occured to him. He grabbed two uniforms in new packaging and shoved it under his suit . Then he saw the letterhead print paper . He grabbed a handful of this company paper and smiled deviously.
" Get her out of here. I can hear her all the way back there " demanded Mr. Johnson as the guard went to retrieve and remove Ruth -Anne now his boss told him to move her.
" Don't touch me. Get away from me ." Protested Ruth -Anne as the guard tried to pull her off the ground. The customers clapped as she was in the process of being removed.
He went back out the lobby watching Ruth-Anne being escorted out as she was pushing off the guard . Bobby -Joe walked past her like he didn't know her as he was ignoring her. Ruth-Anne stopped fighting the guard and dusted herself off. The security officer looked puzzled. Ruth-Anne ran out the door . Behind Bobby -Joe.
" What the hell was that." Said the guard now more puzzles but now the loud woman was gone and that's all he could do. He hoped she would never come back to disrupt the lobby again .
The siblings jumped on the bus as Bobby-Joe had a smile plastered on his face. Ruth-Anne looked at him annoyed. He pulled the call chain as the bus stopped in front of a public library. Ruth -Anne stepped off the bus almost tripping on the bottom step as the bus began to move as she was taking her time to get off.
" You want to read now." Cried Ruth-Anne." What are we doing here? " She said following Bobby -Joe inside as she heard hushes as to remind her to be quiet as soon as she entered the room.
Bobby -Joe went up to the service desk and asked to make some flyers. He handed the woman the paper he took from the interview. He then signed in for computer time. He sat down and looked up the pest control schedule and flyers . He copy and pasted a routine pest control notice . Then he pressed print.
Ruth-Anne stood over his shoulder confused. He paid for the copies and paid at the service desk what he owed. He then waiting at the bus stop not speaking to his sister. Ruth-Anne glared at her brother like he lost his mind .
When they got back to the hotel room he layed the flyers down and pulled out the two protective suits he stole from the supply area.
" What is all of this?" Cried Ruth-Anne.
" This my dear brainless sister is our entry into that complex. " He explained as she looked over the flyers .
Mandatory annual complex pest evaluation Thursday and Friday between the hours of nine am to two pm. Please be out of the perimeter before inspection is conducted. Thank you for your cooperation .
" We are going to spray for bugs?" She said now confused." Why bugs ? Are you trying to make me have a mental break down. " She complained thinking of bugs around her as she hit an phantom bug on her arm.
" No . We are pouring gas in there and burn it down. We just have to watch for a day the daughter isn't home . We don't need her calling the company to verify the inspection." He said .
"so you didn't get the job today?" She said now scratching her head.
" Focus. It wasn't about getting the job. I needed the uniforms and letterhead. Ruth-Anne sometimes I think the sun bleached your brain." He said shaking his head in disappointment.
Meanwhile across the ways .Bethany sat in the parking lot of her personal lawyer. She was thinking that her mother's company was the only thing she would lose if something should happen to her . She stepped out of the car and went up to her lawyers office. She held the complex paperwork and the Zehetii paperwork in her hand.
The weight of the world was on her shoulders.
" Bethany." Beamed Mr. Anders in his suspenders and tie as he was a peculiar business man. " What brings you here today?" He said cheerfully.
" Well I need three things done today. I've acquired two more properties and businesses. I would like to set up a trust fund. A living will. And a prenuptials." She explained.
" Oh wow that is a big request. Did you say prenuptials?" He said clarifying the conversation.
" Yes. I'm engaged. I want to set up a will. Also a pre prenuptials giving sole control over the management of the business and bank accounts, bonds,and stocks to my spouse in case of my death.until the age of twenty-one when my daughter and any future children will inherit." She said handing him the two packets as he started looking over them.
" Oh my your children will live very well. So you trust your future spouse with all these accounts. I don't mean to plant a seed of doubt but this is a lot of businesses . Estates. And accounts. " He said trying to confirm her request.
" i need all my properties to be placed in a living trust so my loved ones won't be slammed with the back taxes on the property ." She said in a business tone not missing a beat.
" Are you planning on dying anytime soon?" Asked Mr. Anders voice laced with concern. This was a lot of preparation for someone to do in a close amount of time. He was worried about his client.
" Not if I can help it. But I need to be prepared for any eventuality. We both know with these four properties all in Sunny's name people will try to hurt me for them. I want to make sure Sunny is set if the probability comes to light."explained Bethany.
" I see. Is there a time frame to complete this?" He asked thinking of his workload.
" I need all this done in one months time. I have to explain it to my fiance before we get married. I don't want to drop it on him when I'm dead." She said morbidly.
" Will do . I'll start working on these requests. No worries. All will be taken care of ." He assured her. Mr. Ander wondered what the rush was as he grew extremely worried about Bethany. He knew she moved a lot of business over from her previous lawyer during to conflict of professional interest. Which was odd she had stocks and deeds to that law firm as well. He was confused why she didn't use her own law firm to conduct her own business.
Alot was not adding up in his head at the moment,but it wasn't his job to question her methods. His job was to make those methods legal on their end. Mr. Anders shook his head as he began to work on the request she asked if him.
