The rest of the party was extremely uneventful, even boring. Ariel left not long after our talk. Terry had snuck out while we where talking it seemed, because he didn't reappear the entire night. Mara and I sat in the kitchen afterwards not really talking just letting the news sink in.
"I suppose I will be staying to help you clean up this mess." Mara said at last with a sigh. I didn't answer still too shocked to say much.
"Hey don't stress out so much. You aren't so completely incompetent you can't manage to kill one human, at least I think." She said trying to cheer me. Finally she gave one of those long annoyed sighs of hers, and stomped off to change and do what ever pass times it was she did, murder puppies probably. I pushed myself to my feet, and went to my own room. I needed a long long bath and I had an Olympic size pool to do it in.
The next day I had given myself a pep talk, and was going to get back on track for operation torture Terry. Mara would be going to the second business meeting with out me, and I was going to go to the country club that went along with the obscene price tag of the house. Mara thought it would be the biggest dig possible for Terry to hear about me flirting at tennis rather than being anywhere near him. We where going to drive him to desperate measures. I knew for a fact he hadn't given up. I went I flirted even took a very handsome tall dark and handsome man back to my place for a quicky. I knew the rumors would get back to Terry because I made sure we had some pda. After our missions where complete Mara and I sat in the kitchen again sharing with eachother what had happened. Terry it seemed had been seathing with rage the entire meeting and had even gotten up in a huff, and stormed out making a call. he came back calmer, but the vein had been pulsing in his forehead still. About thirty minutes he got a text, and slammed his fist into the table so hard he knocked over several glasses of water. He had apparently been so enraged he flipped his chair over and stormed out of the room. Mara recited her sory like it had been a school project. Once I had told her about my day we had just started to talk about the next day when fists slamming into the front door made us both jump. Since the yard was gated we just sat staring at etch a few minutes. Mara raced to the security system me right behind her. The front gate had been smashed open, and a disheveled Terry stood at the front door with two huge thugs behind him.
