As Mr. Jones walks into the room he notices me. He says, “Hello Sabrina, how are you today?” I looked at him with disgust. He must have known this all along. He knew what was going to happen to me he allowed it. Not wanting the consequences of my actions I tell him that I am doing fine. I am polite and ask him how he is doing.
He responds, “Everything is perfect. Everything is going as planned.”
I sit and wonder what the plan is and have I always had a part in this plan? Was this going to happen, and I was blind to the entire situation? Why were my family and I involved in their plan and the Bakers and obviously Tonya? What the hell is going on? I am confused and uncertain and pissed off. As I am lost in my thoughts I wonder why the hell would I be in their plans all this time. I'm no one special.
I feel a pinch on my ass. I jump and let out a little squeal because it surprised me. The Alpha says, “Dinner is ready. Let’s go.” We walk out to the dining room and we sit.
I say, “What a beautiful setup you have Joyce.”
She smiles and says, “Thank you.” I just want to reach across the table and slap her in the face. The sight of her makes me so angry, but then I figure maybe if I play nice I can put together all the puzzle pieces and figure out the truth of what is really going on. I decide not to slap her and act polite and interested.
Mr. Jones says that Joyce an him have an announcement to make, and Alpha asks, “What is it?” He proceeds to say that they are planning to move.
The Alpha is angry instantly, and he says, “What the hell is this Joyce! Are you inviting me over here to tell me that you are leaving the pack?”
“Nothing has been set in stone yet,” Joyce responds, “I did my part? I should be able to move on now that my part is complete.”
Then the Alpha says, “I do not want to be talking about this right now. We cannot discuss this at the moment and you know this.”
