\[Ford Salon\]
Mr. Ford was starting to get worried that his kids aren't back by this time of the night, so he stood in front of his shop despite the pouring rain, staring at the alleyway.
He checked the time on his phone, then he sighed out.
"They should at least call to tell me where they are, are they planning to give me high blood pressure?" he muttered, dialling Romeo's line again.
Immediately he took the phone to his ear, the blaring sound an ambulance was what he heard next.
He lowered his phone from his ear and shifted his posture, facing the alleyway again and expecting the small ambulance to drive past the shop, but the ambulance stopped right in front of the shop.
His heart was starting to break even before the ambulance door opened.
That thing should better not contain any of his kids.
Romeo came out of it, and then Bethel, but they're both crying, and that's even more fearful.
"What's going on?" He went closer.
Clover came down from the ambulance too since he followed them from the dork.
Romeo and Bethel couldn't reply, they could only cry, so it was Clover who opened the ambulance trunk.
He stepped back, and Mr. Ford went closer, legs trembling till he arrived at the back of the ambulance.
The first thing he saw was Matron's head, placed beside her headless body.
His soul vacated his body immediately, and he had to blink twice before looking again, then he staggered and fell into the muddy water on the ground.
The mud water splashed as a result, and some of it landed on Matron's body in the ambulance.
The man couldn't even scream, it's like his voice was stolen away.
"Lula... it's not...you... right? This isn't my wife...she's... she's..."
He spranged up suddenly, jumping into the ambulance.
"Lula!!!!!!"
Clover looked at Bethel and Romeo.
Bethel is sitting by the door of the shop, but Romeo is standing, back on the wall and an hand in his hair.
And the most amusing thing? He's smiling crazily, his bottom lip inside his mouth.
"So funny" he muttered. "Really funny"
Clover just knew a monster has been unlocked, tonight.

\[Next Morning, Stonia's Mansion\]
Serena's happiness has been over the brim since last night, and it lasted till this morning.
She came downstairs with a wide grin, going to the kitchen where she met the maids who're already preparing breakfast.
"A cup of milk" she smiled, and the maids exchanged shocked glances.
Serena never smiles, she's allergic to it.
They handed her a warm cup of milk though, and she left the kitchen for the living room.
The face is complete, so now she only has to wait for the right time, and Kelsey?
She better be fine whatever she is.
She touched her scarred face and smiled again.
"Don't worry, I'll be replacing you soon" she told her face.
She's not a fan of TV, so she just took her seat and drank her milk, but there's the TV remote on the couch she sat on, so her butt pressed ON, and the TV came on.
"This dang thing" she muttered, taking the remote to turn off the TV, but the news she saw made her sprang up from the couch.
"What!!!!!!!!" She screamed.
"What's that?" Stonia asked, coming downstairs in her nightwear.
It's her day off today, and she's planning to go on a shopping spree with Ixora.
"Aunt Stonia" Serena turned to face her.
"I checked Ixxy's room but she's not there, where's she? She doesn't have class till 2" Stonia replied, descending the last stair.
"She's..." Serena pointed at the TV.
Stonia's eyes went to the screen, and she quickly rushed closer, pushing Serena out of the way.
The more she watched the news of Ixora's arrest, the more she died inwardly.
"What!!!" Her eyes blew.
"Aunt what are we gonna do? Ixora...."
Serena was still talking when Stonia ran upstairs, taking her phone from her vanity table and turning it on.
She has twelve missed calls from the commissioner of police late last night, then five missed calls from Rafael late last night too.
Her phone was silenced cos she meant to rest deeply for today's shopping spree, but now?
She ran out of the bedroom, her long nightwear jacket flowing after her.
Before she even got to the car, she has made close to five calls.
Her attorney, the barrister, the commissioner, even the high cops.
She drove out of the compound with her shoulder holding her phone to her ear, and Serena came out of the house, smiling with her arms crossed.
"See? Even gawd is in support. If that's not the case, then why did this happen just when the face got completed?" She hunched her shoulders, laughing out.
She dialled her doctor immediately, walking farther from the main door.
"Did you see the news? The heavens are on your side, Serena" Dr. Fat's voice came.
"I know, right? Now this must not pass us by." Serena replied.
"But she has to be tried in court first, we can't do anything if she's still in the police net. She has to go to court and be sent to jail, and from there, we strike" the doctor said.
"Don't tell me you have a plan already" Serena rolled eyes.
"What do you think? Of course I do, you pay me well, so I'll do all I can to help. You want her memories gone? You want her to stay under a mask once your surgery is done? You want to make her your maid in her parents house? I gat you" the doctor said, and Serena smiled.
"Gawd, I wish Kelsey was here, we'd have partied tonight. Don't worry, if everything gets done, you have a lotta money to take from me" she said.
"I trust you, just feed me in on everything from now on" the doctor replied.
"Of course.." Serena hung up, sighing.
"Ixora... you're one unlucky bîtch, aren't you?"
