rum · 02-04-2001, 01:34 AM

(Jo is in the living room channel surfing when suddenly there is a knock at the door.)

Jo: Whose there???
Male voice: Please ya gotta let me in, there’s someone after me
Jo: you better not be lying to me

She opens the door, and there stands a 6 foot, evil looking, man.

Man: Thank you, now I shall……
Jo: Get outta here, or I’ll….I’ll…
Man: You’ll what…..loosen some teeth….(evil laugh)…I’m afraid you wont get the chance dear

He takes out a switch blade

Jo: ok what do you want!!
Man: I want all the money and jewler…..nah….you don’t look the type to wear jewlery.
Jo: Get outta here, I’m not scared of you

(She pushes him out the door, he falls and hits his head on the pavement.)

Jo: Now, if you don’t go away, it will be more than your head that will be hurting!! (she slams the door, and locks it)

Five minutes later, there is a scream outside. Jo gets up and looks out the window, she sees the man stabbing an eighty year old women. She swings open the door….runs up to the man…and kicks him in the teeth, he falls, and blood starts coming from his mouth. Jo looks over to see the women lying on the ground dead.

Jo: Oh my…. I better call the cops

Jo doesn’t notice that the man is getting up…..he walks toward her…..and hits her on the back of the head…Jo is knocked unconcious.

(Scene changes, Mrs. G, Blair, Nat, and Tootie, are all in the car, heading for home after a long day of shopping)

Mrs. G: Girls. My feet are killing me from walking around all day
Blair: You have to be kidding….I had a delightful time
Nat: Only you, Blair, could have a delightful day walking around Sacs 5th Avenue for eight hours.
Tootie: Jo was smart to stay home.
Nat: Tell me about it

(They arrive, and go into the house)

Nat: Home at last, Home at last
Tootie: you can say that again
Nat: That’s what I did, I said it twice
Mrs. G: Jo, we’re home!

She walks upstairs and looks in every room

Mrs. G: That’s strange, Jo didn’t say she was going anywhere
Blair: Oh, she probably took her bike to the shop…
Mrs. G: No…Blair I’m worried, that isnt like Jo, to go out without leaving a note.
Blair: Mrs. G. I’m sure she’s fine…Jo’s a big girl, she can take care of herself.
Mrs. G: Yeah, I suppose your right Blair (*yawn*) well I don’t know about you girls, but I’m going to bed…eight hours of shopping really does a number on me….Goodnight.

They all say there goodnights and go to bed…..

Mrs. G wakes up the next morning to the phone ringing.

Voice: Is this the residence of Joanna Marie Polniaczek?
Mrs. G: Yes Jo lives here…is there something wrong….who is this?
Voice: Ma’am we have terrible news….Miss Polniaczek was found dead.
Mrs. G: WHAT!!!!! WHO IS THIS…PLEASE TELL ME YOUR KIDDING!!! (*Tears stream down her face*)
Voice: Sorry Ma’am, please come to the Peekskill mortuary to claim the body.
Mrs. G: THIS CAN’T BE…THERE MUST BE SOME KIND OF MISTAKE…JO HAS BEEN HERE ALL N….(suddenly she remembers coming home, to find Jo gone)
Voice: Calm down ma’am, everything is going to be alright, goodbye. (He hangs up the phone)

Blair, Nat, and Tootie walk into Mrs. G’s room to find her sobbing uncontrollably.

Blair: Mrs. G. whats wrong, we heard you screaming…and we where getting kind of worried.
Mrs. G: Girls itttt…..itt..it’s, Jo
Blair: What about Jo…IS SHE HURT???…IS SHE IN THE HOSPITAL???
Mrs. G: Girls ssshhee is de…..ddd….DEAD! (*again she bursts into uncontrollable tears*)

All four girls burst into tears….

(15 years later)

Mrs. G, now in her seventies sits in a chair in the house, now living by herself, she is expecting a visit from the girls. There’s a knock at the door…thinking its one of the girls, Mrs. G. gets up and opens the door. A man, the same man Jo opened the door to 15 years earlier, is standing there.

Mrs. G: Yes?? May I help you?
Man: Ma’am, I’ve got something really important to tell ya.
Mrs. G: Yes what is it?
Man: May I come in?
Mrs. G: No, you may not, I don’t know you!
Man: Please Ms, this is really important.
Mrs. G: I told you I…..
Man: It’s about a girl who used to live here named Jo Polniaczek.
Mrs. G: She passed away 15 years ago, I don’t k……
Man: I know what happened to her.
Mrs. G: WHAT!!! WHY DIDN’T YOU GO TO THE AUTHORITIES 15 YEA…..
Man: Because I have to tell you now, please, ma’am
Mrs. G: (calms down) Ok, come in, sit down.
Man: Thank you

He enters the house and sits on the chair next to the sofa, Mrs. G sits down on the sofa.

Mrs. G: What did you say your name was?
Man: I didn’t, my name is Harold John Mckeon, everyone calls me Harry.
Mrs. G: Well Harry, what is it you wanted to tell me about Jo
Harry: I know exactly what happened to her
Mrs. G: TELL ME THIS, WHY HAS IT TAKEN YOU 15 YEARS TO COME FORWARD!!!
Harry: I was scared.
Mrs. G: Of what….we have to get the person responsible for murdering Jo behind bars!!!
Harry: I’ll tell you why, but you must promise me you will let me finish my story before you say anything?
Mrs. G: I promise.
Harry: Okay…..15 years ago I was a part of a street gang, our leader Jim would have us go out in the street and terrorize people at random….Anyway, one day I came to this door and this young tomboyish girl answered, I told her that I was there to take whatever jewlery or money that was in the house. She pushed me out the door, and I fell and bumped my head. Out of anger, I ran into the street, and killed….an old women….
Mrs. G: WHAT… GET OUT OF MY HOUSE
Harry: Please Ma’am let me finish.
Mrs. G: You killed an old wo…..WAIT A SECOND YOU KILLED JO???!!!
Harry: No ma’am, please let me continue!
Mrs. G: (Calms down) ok, stop calling me ma’am. Edna will do
Harry: ok, anyway….after I had stabbed the old women, the girl, who I later found out was Jo Polniaczek, ran out and kicked me in the teeth. In pain, I got back up and knocked her in the back of the head…she fell unconcious.
Mrs. G: Oh my god…you did kill Jo, I’M CALLING THE POLICE!!!
Harry: Please Edna, let me finish.
Mrs. G: FINISH THEN!!
Harry: I put Jo in the back seat, and the old women in the trunk….I drove to the river, and threw the women in….she was never found. Anyway, I took Jo to Jim, and Jim told me to kill her…BUT I DIDN’T….he then threatened me with a gun, I still refused to kill the young girl. Suddenly Jo woke up, and knocked the gun out of Jim’s hand, there was a sruggle, but Jim managed to get the gun, and Kill Jo, he dumped her body in a ditch, where it was soon found.
Mrs. G: WHY DID YOU TAKE JO!!! WHY DIDN’T YOU LEAVE HER HERE!!
Harry: I didn’t think Jim would do that….if I could take it all back I would…right after this tragedy occurred I left the gang, and hid.
Mrs. G: Why didn’t you tell me this 15 years ago??
Harry: I was scared
Mrs. G: WHERE IS THIS JIM!!! I’M GOING TO KILL HIM!!
Harry: It’s too late he was killed last week in a drive by shooting….you see, I was scared that if I told the authorities, he would kill me!! But now that he is dead (long pause) I was partly responsible for this….and I’m going to turn myself in!!

Before Mrs. G could say anything Harry jumped up and ran out the door…..later that night Mrs. G got a phone call.

Voice: Hi, is this Edna Garrett?
Mrs. G: Yes…may I ask who’s calling
Voice: This is the Peekskill P.D. we found a Harold J. Mckeon, dead in a car, apparently he commited suicide, anyway, there was a note for you, on him, it said: Edna, tonight I realized that I’am responsible for Jo’s death, even though I didn’t pull the trigger, on the way to the police station my conscience got the best of me, and I decided to take my own life, I cannot live knowing I killed a young girl, fresh out of high school, goodbye and good luck. And then it was signed…Harold John Mckeon
Mrs. G: Thank you

Like everyone else Mrs. G never got over Jo’s death, but through time it got easier to live with.

THE END

It's a good storyline. Sad though and I wish it ended happier. You told this story better than I ever could.
