After Melody's friends left Ms. Andrews went out to the grocery store; hours later the house phone rung.. "I'm sorry to inform you, but Grace Andrews was hit by a bus and just passed away. If you, family, and or friends want to come.." Melody nearly dropped the phone for she recently just learned of Ms. Andrews will and cancer that day; unexpected. I thought I'd have more time, seems I'll have contact her lawyer or he'll contact us. I better be ready for some angry words and criticism. Later that day lawyer Frank did indeed contact them by coming to the house regarding Ms. Andrews will.
In the little room Frank was about to start when Wade said "before you start let Tony and I get some drinks for us I'm sure we all could use one; Tony." Tony and Wade entered the kitchen to whisper and returned with drinks, Wade and Tony sat some what away from the tiger boys. "This will is quite simple, everything goes to a Melody Gardner." "Who's that?" Tony interjected "remember the next door neighbors that just moved?" "Yeah, what about them?" "The one is Melody." "What!" "I'm sorry for your lost Gary." "Don't apologize.. since Melody doesn't know of this will.." "Actually I called her before I arrived she said she'll be here soon. I'll call her again and see where she's at." "Frank! You don't need to do that what if it causes a car accident." "Some times things need to be out in the open." He must know about me. Frank dialed and my cell started ringing, "that's funny you're getting a call while he's calling." Before Melody could say another word or sentence Ricky picked up Melody's call to only her Frank's voice on the other end. "Wa-Wade?" "Sorry Ricky, but I'm not." "Your name isn't Wade?" "No. It's Melody, sorry." "Well Miss. Gardner since you have already heard me I won't need to repeat myself." "What do you mean by everything?" "Everything that belongs to Grace. Her money, car, this house and so forth." "Oh." "If you need anything you can contact me here." "Thank you."
Melody showed Frank to the door, the moment that door closed every one surrounded Melody. As much as everyone wanted to say or ask questions they knew to be quiet. Gary is the only one who asked questions since he's the leader. "Why were you living with us, what was your goal, what's your plan!?" "I'm sorry, but I can't exactly answer your questions. I can say that you all can still live here, I won't kick anyone out, but you'll have to pay a little rent." Gary came forward with a look in his eyes like he's going to punch. Tony stepped in between them, "Tony move." "No. I'm going to protect Melody no matter what, so I drop out of the tiger boys group." "Why? What's so important that you'll drop the group and protect her?" "Because I promised her that I'd protect and help her if I can." "You knew that she was Melody?" "Not at the beginning, I found out eventually." "You still knew. Why didn't you tell us?" "She has a reason that even I don't know, but I trust it's good and I trust her. Melody lets go out so they can cool down a bit." Tony and Melody both left, "I know its not the right time to ask, but how much money are we gonna pay for rent?" "I'll decide later."
