The Oddities of Grand Marquis - Book 3: Elegant Armageddon 🪼✔️

Thirty-Second

I closed my eyes for a moment. "I see."

"And..."

This was getting out of hand now. I may as well just let them have their fun and then ream the hell out of them afterward.

"Come in. You got time?"

"We have other people in the car..."

"May as well all come in. After this, don't come here anymore. I will entertain you once, do you understand? Once."

"Yes, I understand perfectly. I'll go get everyone else. Kasai, go ahead and go in."

He left the doorstep to get back to the car and I looked at this boy claiming to be Kasai. He looked uncomfortable and I opened the door wider.

"Come on, then."

"Uh... what's happening?" Geneva asked as everyone started piling in.

I pointed at the red head. "This is Dawaen Cyrio. I do believe he's the one who beat up Max so badly that he died." I pointed to Kole. "This is Kole, as we know him." Then I pointed at the other kid. "This is "supposedly" our grandson who was born only two years ago, abducted from us right after our son was killed as a baby, but looks like he's the same age as our son." Then I waved at the pink haired woman. "This is Britain Armadillo and she's some sort

of psychiatrist who works with Dr. Bluewater and Dr. Market. I'm Brunswick Taylor and you're Geneva Taylor."

Geneva gave me a look as the pink haired woman gave me a look.

"My last name is Armiallo, no D."

"Who cares? Ya'll hungry? Cuz this looks like a doozy of a story and I'm pretty starved. Genny? Do we have enough?"

"Uh... yeah... I mean, good thing it's chili..." she mumbled as she went to the cupboard.

"Chili?" fake-grandchild said with a happy look.

"Yeah..."

"Sounds good." Dawaen nudged him. "What? They asked..."

"We're not here to eat chili at Gamby's house like this is a sudden drop by, we're here for a reason."

"Well they're my grandparents, so if they offer me some friggin chili then I damn well want some!"

"They. Don't. Know. You!" he hissed.

"HEY!" I yelled. "Shut up. While we wait to eat, we talk. Everyone to the table. Now."

We all got to the table and Geneva started grabbing extra utensils and such. She put the stack of bowls in the middle of the table.

"Oh, I guess I should have asked if everyone was actually okay with chili. I make mine spicy; is everyone okay with that?"

"I love spicy food." Dr. Armadillo said with a grin.

"I think I'm okay? I feel like I've eaten your chili before." Kole said.

"What's wrong with him? He acts like he doesn't know us." I asked.

"He doesn't. He has amnesia." The doctor said.

"I see..."

"I think I should be fine as long as I have a steady supply of something to drink. I just hope I don't get acid reflux or something..." Dawaen mumbled.

"Great, everyone's all about the chili, now everyone can tell me what the fuck is going on."
