“They have to die, this time there must be no mistakes,” one of the two said.
“I agree with you,” the other one said
“We have to devise a skilful plan that won't blow up in our faces,” the first speaker said.
“But, what will we do, we've tried everything,” the second speaker said, his hands hitting the wall?
“I have a plan and this time it won't fail us,” the first one said.
“What is the plan?” The second asked.
“They are travelling abroad tomorrow right, I have paid a truck driver to hit their car,” The first said.
“How sure are you that their car will get hit,” the second asked
“Then we'll have to spoil the brakes of their car,” the first said deviously.
“Correct, when the truck comes hitting their car, they won't be able to pull the brakes,” the second said, as they laughed hysterically.
“I love the idea, let's leave this place before anyone sees us here or even worse overhears our conversation,” the second said, as they both left the room.

“Good morning, mother and father,” a little girl said.
“Good morning to you too,” her mother said.
“How was your night?” Her father asked.
“It was splendid” she answered, she hugged both her parents.
“Go get dressed, we have been invited to attend the event held at the Palace,” her mother said, carrying her off the bed.
“Ma, can I ask a question?” She asked.
“Go ahead, I'm listening,” her mother said, as she applied some paste to her toothbrush.
“Why do we always wear fancy clothes to the palace,” she asked, brushing her teeth.
“A palace is a place full of royals, even the maids dress in royalty, it won't be right for us to wear tattered clothes there,” her mother said, she spits out the dirt in her mouth.
“Quit now, brush your teeth and take your shower then come downstairs I have a surprise for you,” her mother said, she closed the door giving the little girl some privacy.

"Come on everyone, we need to get ready for the event,” an old man said, the man wore a black jacket, trousers, and a black polo neck offset with a hint of the color blue with a grey handkerchief in the jacket pocket, he wore black socks with white stripes, he's holding a cane.
“Father, they are all getting ready, stop bothering yourself,” his eldest son said.
“My darling son, why shouldn't I be worried?” The old man said, he began to cough profusely.
"You're getting older, and the doctor said you shouldn't stress and overthink,” the eldest son said, offering him a glass of water and sitting him down on a chair on their porch.
He drinks the water. “I'm not that old, I'm just in my early 60s,” the old man said, his wife coming right behind him.
“Don't mind your father, he never always admits he is getting old, and his body can't handle much stress” his wife said, she puts on a purple ball gown, with white gloves reaching her angles and a white beret.
“Mother is correct, father,” the eldest son said.
“You guys don't know what you're talking about,” the old man said, he relaxed his back.

“Mother, where are you? I'm done taking my shower,” the little girl said.
She walked around the house searching for her mother, when she caught sight of her Grandparents and her father all sitting on the porch, and she ran towards them.
“Father, have you seen mother by any chance,” she asked.
“No, my dear,” her dad said, her grandfather carrying her on his lap.
“My child, why are you looking for your mother?” Her grandfather asked.
“She said she has a gift for me, but I don't see her anywhere,” she said.
“She must be around somewhere,” her grandfather said, as her mother came in.
“Mother!” She yelled, she ran to her.
“Ma, where's my gift?” She asked.
“It's not here, darling, it's in your aunts and uncles' room.
“You mean uncle Albert and aunt Audrey's room?” she asked.
“Yes my dear,” her mom answered.
She took her to the room.
“My darling niece, how are you?” Her aunty asked.
“I'm fine, aunt, what about uncle and the twins?” She asked.
“They are all fine, your uncle is taking his shower while the twins are on the bed,” her aunty said. The little girl walks up to the bed to take a look at the twins.
“They are so cute, my little angels,” she said.
“Thank you,” her aunty said while her mother opened up the wardrobe to bring out her gift.
She brings out a beautiful off-shoulder ball dress, coloured pink, with golden shoes.
“Ma, is that for me?” She asked, gazing at the lovely dress.
“Yes my dear, it was your aunt's idea to get this dress for you,” her mom said smiling.
“Thank you, aunt, and thank you ma,” she said, her mother handed over the dress to her, and she went to her room to put it on.
Everyone got ready and all gathered downstairs, waiting for her.
She walked downstairs, everyone gazed at her beauty.
A light-skin girl with dark curly and shiny hair, putting on a beautiful pink dress.
“My grandchild looks so mesmerizing,” her grandfather said, holding hands as she walked down the stairs.
“She Is a jewel,” her aunty said.
“She looks stunning” her dad said, the little girl got flattered.
“My little girl looks like a princess,” her grandmother said, and she gave her a tender kiss on the forehead.
“Thank you all so much,” the little girl said as she smiled.
They all walked outside as it began to rain, thereby raining on their parade.
“It's raining, sadly we can't go, and we all got beautifully dressed for today, so sad,” Albert said.
“Darling you look so beautiful today, we can't allow today to get spoiled,” Audrey said.
“Let's take a family picture since we're all beautifully dressed,” her mother said.
“I agree with you, we will also have something to remember you while we're gone for the next three months,” her father said.
The grandpa sends for the family's photographer to take the family picture.
“Fitzgerald," they all said, the picture was taken.

“Mother, father, I'll miss the both of you,” the little girl said as she hugged her parents.
“We won't be gone for a long time,” her mother said, her father putting their luggage in the car.
“My baby girl, take care now, we have to go,” her father said, as the parents hugged their child for the last time and told the entire family bye.
As they were driving, a truck was hitting their car from behind.
“Why is that truck hitting us?” The wife asked, and she turned to take a look at the truck.
The truck kept hitting them non-stop.
“Pull the brakes,” the wife said.
“I can't,” the husband said. He was trying to pull the brakes but for some reason, he couldn't and the wife looked scared.
The truck hits them even harder than the car goes out of control, it hits a tree and makes a massive explosion.
