The car was burst, when he was in the parking lot yet.
* * *
At moment of the blast Mary sitting in the room with children. She peacefully played with them, all of them are going well, but at some moment she felt that beside her eyes is falling dark. She sneaked and looks at the clock. Mason was not at home too long time!
At the point the phone called. Mary — who was already all day for this — grasped the receiver.
"Who is it? Christie, is you?"
"No, it's not Christie."
The male voice. The same who called in past. Mary suppressed her strong wanting to cry in the receiver to leave alone all of them.
"What you want from us?" she finally asked.
"I want you be well."
"By destroyed the person who I love more then my life? The pretty good way if you want me is well."
"There are many things about you don't aware."
"I aware all about Mason. Who are you? Why do you hide yourself from me?"
"You will know all in the time."
The dialing tone. The line becomes dead. Mary wiped the sweat on her forehead by her palm and confusing look at Samantha and Chip who was creeping around. What psycho can want that she's good and to kill Mason in the same time?
The phone calls again. Mary takes the receiver on autopilot.
"Hi!"
"Mary! THANK GOD, it's you! I have much little time only!"
"Christie!" Mary cried. "Where are you? Are you OK?"
"Yes, I am fine. But I do not know where I am now. I was brought to the house and they do not let's go out me."
"Who did bring you to the place? Do you know who the person is?"
"I know. It's our..." At the point talk was broken up.
"Christie! Christie!" Mary repeated in despair, but line was dead again. Mary hung down the receiver, but in the same time phone burst called again.
"Christie?" Mary asked with hope.
"No, Mary. It's me, Cruz." On the other end line become silent. Mary becomes afraid.
"Cruz, what is happened?" She can not ask If there was happened something. It's was clear.
"Yes, it was... Mary, it's hard for me to talk it but Mason... his car was burst."
"O My God! Cruz, how is Mason? If he was hurt?"
"I am afraid... I am afraid that he is dead, Mary."
Mary looks just before with shocked eyes.
"What?" she whispered.
However at the point she sees the impossible thing. The person who was right now named as dead man; he stood in doorway of children room and pressed his finger to his lips.
Mary shakes by her head. Mason does not disappear. He just he was — in dirty clothing and with face smeared by smut — he come in and hugs her. Mary with sob snuggled to his shirt and drop down the phone receiver.
"Mary? Hey? Mary, are you OK?" Cruz yelled the receiver with frightened voice but nobody was picking up it from the carpet. In the room were only two loving persons who hardly lost each other and children who don't know how to speak.
