Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Finale Pt. 2

Context: You were just trying to get in touch with your son, who's been missing for weeks now when you were taken from your home by an unknown assailant. Seems your son might be in with a bad crowd... one of whom appears to be quite the silver fox. You spoke with Aldo Mitzrati, who was rather surprised to find out who you were. There was chemistry you weren't expecting, and you agreed to a date to see if your son might get the hint that he needs to come home. Apparently, he did... at the worst possible time.

Setting: Home/Out and About

[J] = Julian, your new son

[A] = Aldo Mitzrati, grade A boyfriend

[D] = Danny, your son. Tormentor of Julian.

[L] = Lorenzo O'Brian, your ex-husband

[Scene opens at home]

[SFX: A TV show playing - Maury-esque drama noises]

[You sit and watch some silly show with your boys. Aldo has his arm around you while Danny and Julian make bets on-]

[D] “Not the father!”

[J] “He so is!”

[SFX: A crowd losing their minds]

[D] “HA! C’mon, Jules. ‘I’ve Slept with 94 Men and Don’t Know Who the Daddy Is’? C’moooon…”

[J, pouting] “She’s been on the show almost ninety-nine times! It’s gonna happen! Statistics says so!”

[A, with a whistle] “Whew, that chair flew far!”

[Pause!]

[A] “Lord. Haven’t seen a chair fly that far since my sister’s first wedding.”

[D] “Hard to imagine you with siblings…”

[A] “Hard to imagine you as a Dad. Fortunately for all of us that you aren’t gonna be one just yet, hmm?”

[Pause]

[D, sheepish] “Yeah… Thanks for telling me the truth, Jules. It was a huge load off… And, uh, sorry I blew up initially…”

[J] “It’s OK… It was a lot… I’m just glad things have quieted down…”

[Pause??]

[D] “He told me in the store when we went off together to find him a bed… I told him I was gonna grab a pool noodle and bop him for lying. Security nearly got called and enh… Just don’t be surprised if you see my picture up on the customer service wall…”

[...]

[Danny smiles sheepishly at you]

[D] “Eheh… Mmh. I love you, Ma!”

[Pause.]

[D, pouting] “Fine, I’ll apologize to the owner… Rackum frackum…”

[J, with a quiet giggle] “Nerd.”

[D] “That’s it! C’mere!”

[SFX: The boys roughhousing playfully]

[A, a bit stern but laughing] “Boys! C’mon, we need to focus. And don’t think I didn’t see you winding up for that Charlie Horse, Daniel. Technical foul.”

[D] “Aww!”

[J] “I mean… I don’t know w-what else we can do, Mr. Mitzrati… Dad’s completely ghosted the area…”

[Pause]

[A] “Yes… We haven’t seen Lorenzo since the Fair and that was nearly five months ago… He’s avoiding my people pretty expertly, so keeping tabs on him has been rough. Still, I expected more… aggression. More movement. More… something.”

[...]

[J] “He hasn’t texted or called since the night we met, no…”

[D] “He hasn’t reached out to me either…”

[You exchange a glance with Aldo who immediately does his best to smile]

[A] “I’m not fool enough to hope he’s given up… but it just isn’t sitting right with me. Something is off…”

[Pause?]

[He shakes his head with a small smile]

[A] “We’re as ready as we can be, Miss… May as well just enjoy the quiet time we do get.”

[D] “Yo, speaking of, you still gonna take Julian out to practice driving tomorrow, Ma?”

[Pause!]

[SFX: Unhappy Julian noises]

[D] “Aw, c’mon, Jules! Driving ain’t so bad… Plus, fast food for dinner! Can’t beat that.”

[J] “...Yeah, I guess… It’ll be nice to hang out with you, Ma-...Ma’am.”

[Pause <3]

[A] “What are Danny and I doing? Mmh, I’m gonna take him around to the culinary schools in the area, then come home and eagerly await some fast food, probably.”

[Pause <3]

[Aldo laughs and offers a little affectionate smooch]

[A] “Mmh, love you, too.”

[SFX: Fill-in with TV show nonsense]

[A] “...Really? Nothing from the peanut gallery?”

[J] “I still think it’s sweet.”

[D, grumped] “Just don’t let me catch you two going at it… Like teenagers, I swear…”

[You and Aldo laugh. It’s a nice moment, all things considered]

[D] “Seriously! Bleh… Whatever. Jules, don’t sweat driving. Ma’s got the patience of a Saint. You’ll be fine.”

[J] “Yeah?”

[You assure Julian everything is fine]

[Pause! <3]

[He smiles bashfully]

[J] “Well… I’ll do my best to not screw up my first time doing a fast food drive thru, I guess…”

[A] “You’ve got this, kid, don’t you worry. And, hey, when you get home, maybe Danny will be gracious enough to make a cake or something.”

[D] “Volunteer me, why don’t ya… Yeah, sure, why not. Second you two get home tomorrow, there’s gonna be a Hell of a surprise waiting!”

[Time Skip - Tomorrow - Later Afternoon

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Scene re-opens in the car]

[SFX: The car idling/drive-thru delightfulness]

[You sit next to Julian as he navigates a drive-thru for the first time]

[J] “A-And could I also get two Number 11 meals, no pickles, please?”

[SFX: Drive-thru static]

[J] “Awesome, thanks… Uh…”

[Pause]

[J] “Right, yes, drive around to the first window. Yes.”

[SFX: A car carefully winding around]

[Pause <3]

[J, grumbling] “Doesn’t feel like I’m doing great… First time in a drive-thru and I’m stammering like a baby…”

[Pause <3]

[He smiles but it’s a little guarded]

[J] “...You’re so nice to me… Mom took off the second I was born but… everyone always said a good mother would be more like you…”

[...Pause?]

[J] “A-Adopt me??? Really?”

[Pause! <3]

[He beams as he shakily hands over your card to the surly teen manning the cash register. You nod in solidarity to him. He nods back]

[J] “Thanks, have a good one, s-sir!”

[SFX: Car go brrrr to food window]

[He pulls up, practically bouncing with excitement]

[J] “Hi! Yes, that was our order. Yuh-huh, yep, no pickles. I’m getting adopted! WOO!”

[You smile. Some of the people in the restaurant cheer faintly for him and the girl handing out food smiles]

[Pause!]

[J] “Thanks! Have a good day!”

[SFX: Car go BRRRR-]

[As you both drive off, you check the receipt and realize something-]

[Pause <3]

[J] “Huh? The girl wrote her phone number on the receipt? That’s weird… Why would a young lady be hitting on you like that? N-Not that you aren’t pretty, I just-”.

[Pause.]

[J] “Oh…”

[...]

[J] “...OH!”

[Pause <3]

[He turns red, laughing nervously]

[J] “...Wow… I just… Wow. I d-don’t have to decide just yet, right? C-Cause I want to! I really do! I just…”

[Pause <3]

[He exhales as you rest a hand on his shoulder gently]

[J] “...Thanks… I really… REALLY appreciate you… Um… Can I…?”

[Pause <3]

[He beams again, voice shaking]

[J] “...I really appreciate you… Mom.”

[Pause <3]

[SFX: Car go BRRR all the way home]

[You and Julian laugh all the way home, even as he nearly hits the curb trying to park]

[J] “Oh shit! … Did I hit the curb…?”

[...Pause]

[J] “Oh thank Christ. I don’t need any bad news right now after the afternoon I had. Plus, fast food for dinner! WOO!”

[Pause <3]

[SFX: Greasy bags of heart attacks rattling]

[J] “Yeah, I got the bags if you can get the door. Thanks!”

[SFX: Footsteps/keys/a door being unlocked and opened]

[You manage to get the front door open after a bit of a strongarm approach and make sure the door is open for Julian. You don’t even realize you’re being watched until a familiar, terrifying voice murmurs:]

[L] “Welcome home, dear.”

[...]

[SFX: Some of the bags spilling/crashing]

[J] “D…Dad…”

[L] “Hello, Julian. Nice to see you’re alive after nearly half a year…”

[Julian lets out a quiet gasp behind you, even as you move to protect him]

[Pause…]

[L] “Please, come inside. Sit down… I had Daniel prepare a nice dinner for us all before he went away… You were right, my dear. He is quite talented in the kitchen…”

[...]

[SFX: A gun cocking]

[You freeze as he holds a gun up, nonchalantly as anything]

[L, coldly] “And please don’t tell my son to run and get help. Don’t insult my intelligence like that. Julian, you and I are going to have a chat later, by the way...”

[J] “W-What did you do with Danny and Mr. Mitzrati?!”

[Your ex sighs once more]

[L] “I relocated those two to a… safer place, we’ll say. I’ve been allowing that man to fill my spot for long enough. You’ve had your fun. Now, it’s time to stop acting out like this and come home.”

[Pause?!]

[L] “Oh, sweetheart. You think some silly restraining order and a divorce is going to keep me away? I will give you credit for evading me for so many years, of course. You always were my smart girl.”

[Pause.]

[He smiles pleasantly, as though you’ve tossed a well-meaning jest back at him]

[L] “Oh, but you are ‘my girl’. You never stopped being that.”

[J] “Y-You’re sick, treating her like this!”

[SFX: The gun firing]

[Julian yelps and you shield him. The bullet rockets only a few inches past you]

[Pause…]

[L] “...The adults are talking, Julian. That time, I missed on purpose. You know how good my aim is, so be a good boy, sit down, and shut your yap, hm?”

[...]

[Julian breaks down into silent sobs as he sits down, eyes on the ground]

[SFX: The couch creaking / Julian reacting]

[L] “...You always were so soft on our son, you know? Always encouraging him and protecting him, never letting him stand on his own when it mattered. And now you’re doing it to Julian, hm?”

[...]

[L] “Not going to dignify that? Very well… What happened to Aldo and Danny,hmm… Well, Danny got in one swing and about twenty curse words in under ten seconds before he dropped. Mr. Mitzrati… admittedly was tougher. Had to threaten Danny before he finally gave up.”

[Pause!]

[Your ex holds up a hand for silence]

[L] “I didn’t actually harm Daniel, dear. Calm down…”

[...]

[His eyes sweep over you, head to foot]

[L] “...The years have been good to you. Still just as beautiful as the day we met. There’s so much that I missed about you during these long, miserable years… Really, I thought I could just bury my head in work and move on but… I do miss you. Every day.”

[Pause!]

[He’s taken aback for a moment before he laughs, nearly to the point of tears]

[L] “Mmh, I see you’ve gotten a bit more fire in you! Ooh, I like it… Something to explore once you’re home, love…”

[...]

[L] “Oh, you know what I’ll do if you refuse… Or, at least, you think you do. Tell me, my sweet, darling wife, what’s my move going to be…? Will I shoot Julian’s knees out and make you watch him bleed out? Will I order my men to mutilate Danny or Mr. Mitzrati? Or will it be so much worse…?”

[J, scared] “Mom… Don’t go with him, please!”

[...]

[J] “Mom, no!”

[L, smiling pleasantly] “You have my word that no one gets hurt if you come with me, nice and quiet. See, that’s all I wanted, sweetheart! Just for you to behave yourself… Julian, go get in the car. I can’t have you being a hero.”

[J, sobbing] “Please…”

[Pause…]

[J] “I DO trust you! I don’t want him to hurt you!”

[L] “Julian, please… I am a perfect gentleman. Now… Car. Move it.”

[SFX: Julian shuffling off, weeping]

[You shudder as he rests a hand on your shoulder, breath in your ear]

[L] “Don’t fret, my dear. Don’t fret. You’ll feel so much better once you’re home, and we can be a family again…”

[...]

[SFX: Fade out on car going BRRR but second act low point style]

[To be continued]

Note: Sorry to all those that thought Lorenzo was gonna be an unhinged yandere stereotype.
