SEDUCTION Episode Seven . Just as she had rused out,Linda rushed back inside the house after about an hour,only this time she had ruined her makeup; she was in tears. ‘what’s the problem?’ Jack drew to her as he gave her a comforting hug. He made to use his hands to wipe the tears from face but withdrew his hand. Instead he,pulled a face towel from his pocket and dabbed her face carefully. ‘it’s Tom’ she said as her sobbing increased and Jack knew it was time to take a seat. He dragged her mildly to the couch,sitting her down before he sat. ‘now calm down’ he said hoarsely. ‘tell me what exactly happened. What did Tom do?’ Her sobbing almost resurfaced but she steadied herself the best way she could. ‘Jack,Tom is having an affair’ she was quiet now but staring attentively at Jack who seemed to be taken aback by the new developement. ‘are you certain of it?’ he said painstakingly. ‘i mean,how did you find out?’ ‘i followed him,remember?’ there was no trace of sorrow in her voice. ‘i saw him enter an eatery so i followed him in stealthily. Then i saw the lady.’ ‘just that? How did you know that it wasn’t just one of his business partners?’ ‘he was basically smothering her,and she,him. Or do business partners still do that?’ Jack was totally dumbfounded. He couldn’t think of anything else to say to his brothers aid and Linda read his mind. ‘don’t worry Jack you don’t have to say anything. It wasn’t your fault.’ she stood up,kissed him on the cheek closest to the the corner of his lips and went upstairs. ‘what just happened?’ ** ‘you’t can’t bring him here!’ ‘like hell i can!’ Jack wondered where his latest dream was going. This was unlike any dream he had before. He couldn’t even see their faces,just voices. Why can’t i see the damn faces! He mutter,forcing his eyes opened,he gaze came face to face with the blue ceiling on his room. He hadn’t been dreaming. He was hearing the latest noisy couple voices. Linda and Tom were fighting again. He checked his time ‘jeez,it’s only 6.am!’ He mangaged to drag himself downstairs to see his brother pacing up and down the room. ‘Tom….’ there wasn’t any response ‘Tom….’ still he didn’t answer. ‘Tom!’ This time even the neighbours could have heard. ‘yes?’ Tom answered unsettled,he was a little shakened. ‘what’s up? Where’s linda? I thought i heard her voice? Or was i dreaming? I couldn’t have been’ he seemed to have confused himself. ‘are you okay?’ Tom was staring at him like he had gone mad. He laughed at the irony of that. ‘Am fine but you are not’ He stared at his brother with no wish of wanting to be like him. ‘you look like hell,what’s the problem?’ Tom didn’t answer. He just sat on a chair and turned on the tv. ‘where’s Linda?’ Jack questioned. He wasn’t going to stop asking the questions until he got an answer and Tom knew it. ‘she’s got to get her boyfriend!’ ‘Boyfriend?’ Jack said with a slack smile.’Tommy what are you talking about?’ Tom raised his head towards Jack. His eyes were cloudy,he was serious. ‘her ex is in town and she is going to bring him here’ He was like a grany speaking in the memorial of his heartrob ‘did you tell her she could bring him here?’ ‘of course i wouldn’t but it doesn’t matter. She’s going to bring him. I saw her resolve.’ Jack managed to pull a soothing laugh ‘she wouldn’t’ he seemed like he was almost certain but he knew he wasn’t. Thirty minutes later,a car drove into the compound; Linda’s car. Then there was a knock on the door…..
