Chapter 28 She Had A Sense of Propriety
After eating lunch, Rita Obrien was took aside by the staff to have a talk. Then, she rubbed her eyes and came back, but found that only Teri Holland was in the living room.
"Eh, Where are they?" Rita Obrien asked.
Teri Holland said, "I don't know. They may go and fetch water."
Rita Obrien looked around and then looked at the back door, "The kitchen is over there, isn't it? Let me go and have a look."
"Maybe..."
"Ah ah ah..."
The sudden scream, which went into their ears unexpectedly, was indistinct and horrifying.
Rita Obrien paused, and looked at Teri Holland immediately.
Teri Holland paused too. She stood up from the sofa, "It sounds like Victor's voice. Let's go and have a look!"
They two walked towards the back door, and the cameraman followed them immediately and closely.
Suddenly, the cameraman staggered and nearly fell down because of being pushed by Rita Obrien. He looked at Rita Obrien mysteriously.
Rita Obrien shut the back door with a snap and dragged it tightly to stop the cameraman from going in. "They are not outside." She talked barefaced nonsense.
Teri Holland was still thinking of the scary scene which she glanced at just now. Though she looked pale, she echoed Rita Obrien immediately, "Yes, yes, they are not inside."
The cameraman was muddled, "I've heard the sound from outside."
Before finishing his words, the familiar scream came from outside, "Ah ah ah..."
"Get out of the way! What happens on earth?" The cameraman wanted to break in.
Teri Holland and Rita Obrien blocked the way and dragged the doorknob tightly instead of letting the cameraman break in.
The cameraman was very angry and he went to tell the director!
At the same time, behind the back door, Jacob Silva was pulled back by Lloyd Vasquez forcibly for the sixth time while he wanted to rush forward for the seventh time.
It was in winter, but Jacob Silva sweated all over with worry, "Lloyd, let me go, or Victor will die!"
The water splashed and the sound was made by Ebony Gibson, who was clutching at Victor Torres's hair and dunking him under the water forcibly.
Ebony Gibson dunked Victor Torres under the water for one minute and then pulled him out like playing a game. She dunked him under the water after letting him scream and pause for breath.
Ebony Gibson didn't feel bored with the game after playing for six times. She continued that with a smile.
The sound of the dispute outside was louder and louder. It sounded like Teri Holland's and Rita Obrien's voice. Besides, the director and the cameraman of the show also said something.
Jacob Silva pulled Lloyd Vasquez's hand, which was dragging his clothes. He said, "Victor will die!"
Lloyd Vasquez didn't let him go and said slowly, "She has a sense of propriety."
Does she have a sense of propriety?
Victor Torres would nearly be drowned!
Just then, Ebony Gibson pulled Victor Torres out from the fountain pool.
Victor Torres lacked strength completely. He lay prone aside and gasped for breath. He could not even ask for help.
Ebony Gibson clutched at Victor Torres's hair and dunked him under the water again just after letting him breathe for a while.
"Gu-dong, Gu-dong, Gu-dong."
"Look!" Lloyd Vasquez said mildly, "How decent she is!"
Jacob Silva, "?"
"What happens inside on earth? Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The director outside nearly couldn't control his temper.
Jacob Silva said to Lloyd Vasquez hurriedly, "She will be screwed if she is snapped!"
Lloyd Vasquez thought for a while and agreed with him. Relative unsatisfactorily, he tutted and let Jacob Silva go.
Jacob Silva rushed forward immediately. He pulled Ebony Gibson's hand away and saved Victor Torres.
His eyes were scarlet. The rims of his eyes were full of red blood streak because his eyeballs were washed by the cold water. And he had already been wet through.
Victor Torres looked like a dying duck in a thunderstorm. Victor Torres looked at him and couldn't help glaring at Ebony Gibson, "You..."
Ebony Gibson looked up coolly. The water on her hand was not dry yet and dropped down to the ground from her fingers.
"Di-da, Di-da, Di-da."
"..." Jacob Silva said, "Or you can take a break aside."
Ebony Gibson ignored Jacob Silva but glanced at Victor Torres on the ground. She smile and said coldly, "Well, Victor, I will talk with you next time."
Victor Torres on the ground huddled and trembled. He hid himself behind Jacob Silva's legs.
Even Jacob Silva couldn't stand that. He thought that Ebony Gibson became more like a bully!
Ebony Gibson wanted to go out from the back door.
Lloyd Vasquez held onto Ebony Gibson's wrist suddenly when she passed by.
Ebony Gibson paused and looked up at Lloyd Vasquez.
Lloyd Vasquez glanced at her wet right hand. He compressed his lips and said, "Go this way."
Then, he dragged her and left.
"Eh, wait a moment..."
When the staff and the cameraman finally broke through the defensive line and rushed into the small garden, they saw Jacob Silva dragged Victor Torres, who was wet through, and went out.
All of them were surprised. Rita Obrien and Teri Holland looked at each other. There was a flash of the same message in their eyes --- Lloyd Vasquez and Ebony Gibson were missing.
"What happened?" the director shouted.
Jacob Silva explained, "Victor slipped into the the fountain pool."
The director looked at Jacob Silva skeptically. Then he turned to Teri Holland and Rita Obrien and looked at them.
Why did you block the way if Victor Torres just slipped into the water?
However, the show was still being broadcast, so the director didn't ask anything, but only let someone to take care of Victor Torres first.
The staffs were busy drying clothes and handing out towels because Victor Torres had slipped into the water.
In the corner, Teri Holland asked Jacob Silva, "What happened on earth?"
Jacob Silva sighed, "I also don't know. Once I went out, I've seen that Ebony had already kicked Victor into the water."
"Kick?" Rita Obrien paused, "Why did I see that Ebony Gibson clutched at Victor Torres's hair and dunked him under the water?"
Jacob Silva nodded, "That happened later. Ebony Gibson kicked him, and then dunked him. There was a set of process."
"..." Teri Holland felt speechless, "Did she still have a set of process? And where is Ebony Gibson now?"
"She was taken away by Lloyd. I don't know where they are."
"Ding-dong."
The doorbell of the villa rang suddenly before Jacob Silva finished his words.
The servants went to open the gate and saw that Lloyd Vasquez and Ebony Gibson walked in the one behind the other one.
"Why do they come in from the outside?" Jacob Silva was greatly shocked.
Then, before they found out the development of the incident, they saw Lloyd frowned first, and then squinted his eyes once he went in and saw the disordered scene. Finally, he asked coolly, "What's wrong?" They thought he deserved to be the best actor.
It seemed that he knew nothing about the incident completely with the innocent expression and vacant look.
And Ebony Gibson followed him had the same look as he did.
But Ebony Gibson acted more. First, she opened her eyes wide. Then she covered her mouth with her hands. Finally, she shouted surprisingly, "Ah, why is Victor Torres wet through?"
"..."
If it were not for an improper place, Rita Obrien, Teri Holland and Jacob Silva really wanted to clap for them.
