Adriane was starved but then was able to salvage some cold French fries.
She
was disgusted by her meal, and decided to take a nap on her park bench. After
waking up freezing, Adriane knew it was time to seek out a warmer place for the night.
She
strolled by the haunted house in the park and got an idea.
“Are
you sure you’re ok with this Cornelia?” Adriane asked after she changed into
some more comfortable clothes.
“Oh of course dear, stay as long as you need.
You know I adore your shows. I’ll never forget when you called Gunther onto the
stage and stuffed him into the box of swords.” Cornelia chuckled “Glad to see
those clothes fit you, I didn’t think that they’d serve as any use after I had
Mortimer.”
Cornelia
quickly added, “You really should have taken a bath before putting them on though.”
Adriane
stood outside of the Keaton home for a very long time before knocking.
To
Adriane’s surprise Marty did not answer, it was the woman that Adriane found in
Marty’s bed. The woman stepped outside and was visually shaken from Adriane’s
smell.
“Yes? Can I help you?” the woman asked Adriane.
“My name is Adriane Vagabond.” Adriane nervously stated “I would like
to have a word with you if that’s alright.”
“I’m Justine.” The woman answered. “Just what exactly
is this about?”
“May I come in?” Adriane asked meekly, “I think it’s best if
we both sit down for this.”
“I don’t exactly know how to start this.” Adriane said,
looking straight ahead. Justine looked on in silence.
“Marty
and I…”
Before
Adriane can continue, Justine stops her. Suddenly it all fell into place for Justine.
That night when there was a stench throughout the whole house, the two macaroni
bowl sitting out. Marty was acting so strangely and was spouting nonsense about
hot dogs in his dreams. That familiar
stench, Justine smelled it now as strongly as it was that night, and now this…this…Vagabond!
Here tonight, in her house, pregnant and stammering like an idiot.
“Don’t, I already know about you.” Justine snaps. “You have
some nerve coming in here like this. In front of our son none the less. You
need to leave, now!”
Adriane felt a relief over her and understood that she had
overstayed her welcome. Without another word she bundled up and made her way outside to find a
place to sleep for the night.
Adriane's silent exit only confirmed Justine's suspicions.
It was a full moon tonight, normally this doesn’t faze
Adriane but she was feeling particularly vulnerable after her exchange with
Justine. Adriane wanted a warmer place than the park for tonight and decided
she would break into the consignment shop to sleep.
At
first he was angry, but then noticed she was visibly pregnant and so decided to
her sleep. Just to be on the safe side he decided to stay and make sure she didn't try to swipe anything when she woke up.
In
the middle of the night, Adriane arose to labor pains. The store owner was
shocked.
Adriane
was even more shocked to see Justine there. It wasn’t exactly clear why Justine
was in the shop. Even more strange was the fact that she brought a zombie with
her.
“I can’t drive at night.” the shopkeeper said. “I’ll call for a cab to take you to the hospital.”
After
only a short while in the hospital, Adriane immerged with Bobby. Bobby was
healthy enough and the doctors said he would be a genius if he could overcome
his laziness. Adriane pleaded with the hospital to let her stay until sun rise,
but they were short on beds that night.
As
she was leaving the hospital she noticed the taxi still parked there. She got
in, the driver looked back at her and asked her where she wanted to go. Adriane
wanted to go home but she did not know where that was. “Just drive.” Adriane
said as she clutched Bobby tightly.
