Izindaba

I-fuse ivuliwe.U-Evie nabangane bakhe ababili abakaze bahambe noma baduke – bakanye noMeg kanye nezinsalela zakhe ezimbi kakhulu zobubi.Ukubuka kweziqhumane ezingekho kanye nogandaganda abangaba yingozi ebhulohweni eliya engadini.U-Meg ungumshisekeli osontekile ofuna “ukucekela phansi izimfanelo [zedolobha] ezingajwayelekile”.U-Tommy akabonakali ekhathazekile kakhulu ngokusondela kwakhe ebubini - awekho amantombazane aphelele, othanda abantu?
Isiphetho sesizini yesibili sibuyisela emuva isikhathi kumdlalo wokuqala wesizini, siphinde sivakashele izoso zosuku lokuzalwa lapho u-Garvey ahlangana khona okokuqala noMurphy.Kodwa manje sesiyazi ukuthi u-Evie namantombazane ababona abantu abancane, abangenacala abanyamalala ebusuku.U-Evie wanika uyise othandekayo isipho esigoqwe sosuku lwakhe lokuzalwa futhi wamtshela ukuthi angasivuli aze abuye.Ungene emotweni yomngani wakhe ngenxa yokuphazamiseka komsakazo.Kodwa wathi engasabonwa abazali bakhe, isimo semoto sanyamalala.Sesibabonile vele bephendula iswishi, begcona uDkt. Goodhart ethangini, bese bebuyela ekhaya buthule ngalolo suku.U-Ivy wacisha umsakazo, umshayeli wahlengezela izinyembezi wafihla ukukhala kwakhe.Sebesondela endaweni yokungabuyi.U-Evie usula izinyembezi zentombazane bese eyilungisa nge-GR-ese esemthethweni, ebhalwe ngesandla, “Cha.”
Umuntu onjani ongaba nesibindi futhi akholiseke kangaka ukukhombisa izinhlangothi ezimbili - azenze ilungu lomndeni elinothando, acule njengengelosi ekwayeni, azenze umuntu oshiseka kakhulu ngebhola elithambile njengobaba omdala othandekayo.wanyamalala ngelinye ilanga?Igama elithi psychopath lifika engqondweni.
Lapho amantombazane efika emanzini, athola ukuthi awawodwa.UKevin uthe udlala uMarco Polo ngamabhulokhi e-cinder.Bambuka ezibeka engcupheni, bese benake ezabo ibhizinisi, bakhe inkundla engenabo ubugebengu, futhi balungiselela ubuqhawe babo bangaphandle komgwaqo.
Isikhathi somhlangano wabo wasebusuku obungajwayelekile sibonakala sidida.Phela, uKevin noNora babengekho ekhaya lapho amantombazane eshiya uMurphy.U-Kevin kusamele abuyele ekhaya, alale endlini yakhe entsha sha, avuke, aphuphe aye endlini ka-Virgil, ethule inkulumo egcwele ethi “Imbangi Engcono Kakhulu”, acoshe ama-cinder blocks nentambo, futhi akhubeke ehlane elingajwayelekile ukuze athole isidumbu. amanzi.akakaze abe.Ngokusho kukaJohn embukisweni wokuqala, ukuzamazama komhlaba kwenzeke esikhathini esithile ngemva kwehora lesithathu ekuseni.Ukukhuluma iqiniso, ngokwazi kwethu, amantombazane ashayela esuka kwa-Murphy eya emzini womngane wakhe futhi apholisa ekamelweni elingaphansi kwamahora angaphezu kwayisithupha.
Amanzi aphuphumayo echibini ngemva kokuzamazama komhlaba aphazamisa uvuko lukaKevin, eklebhula indlela ephuma ethuneni elingashoni lapho uMichael ayemngcwabe khona.Kwase kuphele amahora ayisishiyagalombili efile futhi ome kakhulu.Uhambile ngempela uPatty.U-Virgil wayeqinisile, amaqhinga akhe enkolelo-ze ayesebenzile.Wasiza uKevin ukuthi anqobe futhi konke okwakudingeka akwenze kwakuwukwenza ukubuyisana kwakhe.Mhlawumbe yilokho okumfanele ngempela… okungenani kule mpilo.
UMichael uyazibuza ukuthi ngabe uKevin wabona u-Evie e-Hell Hotel futhi umbuzo wakhe uletha enye inkumbulo.Ngemva kokukhipha uPatty ekuphileni kwakhe, kungazelelwe wakhumbula ehamba ebuthongweni futhi wakhumbula ebona amantombazane endaweni yokugcina amanzi ngalobo busuku.
Lapho ebuyela kuMichael, uJohn uzohamba ngasekuqaleni kuka-Okthoba 14, unyaka wesine wohambo.Ikhofi lakhe lasekuseni laliyi-Irish ngaphezu kwekhofi - waliphuza futhi.U-Erica umqinisekisa ukuthi ekugcineni avule isipho sika-Evie, futhi lapho enqaba, uvele asibambe asidabule… ikhilikithi efile.Isipho esihle kangaka kubaba onakho konke - ikhilikithi ecasulayo eyamhlanyisa emdlalweni wokuqala.Kodwa khumbula, umdlalo wokuqala waphela ngokuthi u-Erica ehlezi yedwa etafuleni elimnyama, elinde u-John noMichael ukuthi babuye nezindaba ezinhle ngo-Evie… Ikhilikithi yokugcina ithe.
U-Erica uyakhumbula.Uyachaza ukuthi kungani u-Evie kufanele athole enye ikhilikithi azoyifaka ebhokisini, ngaleyo ndlela achithe injabulo kaJohn ngesipho, isipho uJohn angasithandi.“Kungani ezokwenza lokho?”- uthe.“Ngoba ngeke uvume,” kuphendula u-Erica.
Ngithanda ukukutshela engikwaziyo ngekhilikithi yonke ebhokisini.Into engingayihlanganisa nje ukuthi amazwi ka-Erica asho kanjani ukuthi akukhona okokuqala uJohn emlimaza ngokuziphazamisa ngezinto angafuni ukuziyeka.Ngabe lokhu kuhlobene yini necala elamfaka ejele iminyaka engaphezu kweyisithupha?Ukungezwani kwakhe noVirgil kwaqala ngento evamile njengekhilikithi futhi u-Evie ufuna nje ukumqinisekisa ngokushabalala kwakhe ukuze angathatheki?Akubonakali kubukela phansi ngokwanele ku-Evie, ngakho angikukholwa.Mhlawumbe u-Evie wayengenazwelo nje futhi wenza uyise ezwe ubuhlungu bokulahlekelwa nguye njalo lapho ezwa umsindo wekhilikithi ukuphila kwakhe konke.Muhle, akunjalo?
Kodwa ikhilikithi yaziwa ngokuletha inhlanhla, futhi ngokushesha ngemva kwamazwi akhe anokhahlo no-Erica, uJohn uvula isicabha semoto futhi uzwa ukuthi isigxivizo semoto emotweni sifana nomfana omusha ongumakhelwane.Wathatha isibhamu wangqongqoza emnyango kaHarvey.ULaurie waphendula ngokuthi uJill wayemhlanganyele ekuchazeni ukungabi khona kukaKevin.(Phawula indlela uJill anikina ngayo amahlombe akhe, esusa isandla sikanina kaLaurie emhlane wakhe futhi ebamba ihlombe lakhe njengokungathi lizosha ngokulithinta kanye nje?)
“Vula umentshisi,” kusho uKevin ngenkathi yena noMichael behamba ngemuva kukaJohn nonogada basepaki.UJohn wayethukuthele, kodwa uKevin wayezolile futhi ephilile.Utshele izintokazi ukuthi konke kuhamba kahle, azihlale lapho ekhona ngesikhathi ephuma ezixoxela.UJohn akakholwa ukuthi uMichael unalo mfana, kodwa uMichael uqinisekisa uyise ukuthi alalele lokho uKevin akushoyo.
UMichael waya ekhaya engashongo lutho kuJill.U-Erica wamhlangabeza emnyango, echaza ukuthi wayenoyise.Siyazi ukuthi u-Virgil akayena umuntu futhi uMichael akufanele abe naye, kodwa akukacaci kimina ukuthi u-Virgil unguyise ka-Erica noma kaJohn.Futhi lesi simo sengqondo esichazayo sisho ukuthini ngempela, ngoba lapho uVirgil ekhuluma ngezinto ezimbi azenzile, lokho akwenzayo kuhlobene “nemishini engcolile ephula imithetho yabantu ngezansi okhalweni”?
UNora unosuku olubi.ULily uyakhala futhi uMary udinga ukuphakelwa.Mhlawumbe umculo othile ungasiza uLily ehlise umoya, wacabanga, ngakho wavula isitiriyo sikaMatt futhi uBellamy waqaphela ukuthi akakwazanga ukuvusa uMary.Kodwa lokho akukho esigqini sikaNora, ngakho ushintshela kumsakazo wokukhuluma, lapho uthisha ofana nomshumayeli etshela ofonayo ukuthi usana olusanda kuzalwa alukwazi ukulungisa imbobo enhliziyweni yomkakhe ngemva kokuhamba - nguJesu kuphela ongakwazi.UNora wabonakala engavumelani, elahla isikhulumi phansi, “Lungisa, Jesu.”
Futhi kanjalo nje, umhlaba wazamazama futhi, futhi lapho yonke into isithule... UMary wathi, “Nala, ufunani lapha?Uphi uMatt?”
Vula umculo wesonto ongcwele!Isimangaliso ngaphakathi kwesimangaliso!Futhi… okubaluleke kakhulu, u-Matt Jamieson akayona i-bastard egulayo eyadlwengula unkosikazi wayo owayesequlekile.Angikaze ngikungabaze, mfundisi.
UNora uphusha uMary ekamu le-cuckoo ukuze ahlangane no-Matt omangalisayo.Isigcawu esimnandi esingenza ngifise sengathi u-ejenti kaJanelle Moloney akazange amnikeze inkontileka ngokusala okusekelwe emigqeni yezingxoxo.Injabulo kaMatt iphazanyiswe wukwesaba ukuthi ingane izoba sengozini ngesikhathi ingane iphumile kuJayden, okuyindlela uMary ayazi ngayo ukuthi yini ezayo.“Yebo ngiyakhumbula [ngenza uthando],” etshela uMatt.Yebo, ngicabanga ukuthi futhi uMat kufanele amqophe ngokushesha ku-smartphone yothile uma kwenzeka ebuyela esimweni sokumila.usho nje.
UNora uthembisa ukubuyisela uMary kuJayden emizuzwini embalwa, futhi ngenkathi enikeza izinyoni ezimbili zothando isikhathi somuntu siqu, udonsa ukunaka kwezinye izakhamuzi ezintathu zasedolobheni lamatende.Intokazi eyayibukeka iyinqaba eyayilenga ethangeni likanodoli yabona uNora egona uLily wayesethi, “Heyi, ukutshontshephi lokho?Akuyona ingane yakho lena.Akuyona ingane yakho!”
UTommy naye wambona.Angamazi uNora kuphela, kodwa kufanele amazi uLily.UMeg waya kuTommy, naye owabona uNora: “Ubengifutha ngepayipi.”
Kuyahlekisa ukuthi uTommy ufike kanjani lapha.Kuyacaca ukuthi uMeg wayenento yokwenza naye - kungenjalo kungani ayengamgcina naye futhi amyise endaweni yetulo lakhe elinobuqili neliyinkimbinkimbi?Esiqeshini sangesonto eledlule, ithimba lakhe lajikijela amatshe kumsakazi oneshwa owayezulazula eshede lapho bekugcinwe khona inqola.UTommy wagqekeza inqola wabona okwakungaphakathi, kodwa wathola ipasi lamahhala.Kuyamangaza ukuthi le nkolo iyamethemba noma kanjani, ikakhulukazi ngemuva kokumosha wonke umsebenzi wakwaGR ngesikhathi esasebenza nomama wakhe.
UMeg wabuza uTommy ngokuzithoba ukuthi ukhathazekile yini ngomndeni wakhe, futhi waphendula ayecabanga ukuthi ufuna ukukuzwa: “Awukho umndeni.”phansi Umuzwa osondelene kakhulu.“Umkhaya uyikho konke,” esho, mhlawumbe emkhumbuza ukuthi yena naye babeyoboshwa phakade uDamian ekhula esibelethweni sakhe.
Kepha i-Evil's Embace kuzofanela ilinde, njengoba ukuhlasela kwamaphekula kufanele kucasulwe.U-Meg washayela inqola yakhe eyinqola esangweni, watshela unogada ngobumnandi ukuthi uneziqhumane zepulasitiki ezingamakhilogremu angu-35, wabhodloza umgoqo ongemuhle, futhi washayela wawela phakathi kwebhuloho.
Ukuphepha kwepaki kubonakala kunganele kakhulu.Ngaphandle komnyango kukhona ngempela izinkulungwane zabantu abaphelelwe yithemba abakhala kule ndawo.Uma kulula njengokushayela iloli ngesango elingagadiwe, ngisola ukuthi izindimbane zizozama zonke izinsuku.
Umnyango we-trailer wavuleka futhi u-Evie namantombazane baphuma.Iwashi lalibekwe imizuzu engu-60 futhi isixuku saqala ukucula sithi "Liqhumise".
Phakathi naleso sikhathi, uJohn noKevin baqeqesha bodwa ekennel.Siyazi kakade ukuthi uJohane wayengakholelwa ezimangalisweni.Akukhona lokho kuphela, ubajezisa kanzima labo abaqhubekisela phambili indaba yesimangaliso, okungahambi kahle kuKevin oqotho.“Ngabona [u-Evie ebonisa ukunyamalala kwakhe],” esho, ngaphambi kokuchaza ukuthi inkumbulo yakhe yabangelwa ukwelashwa kukaVirgil ngokufa.UJohn akazange ayithenge: “Kufakazele!”
“Ikhehla langitshela ukuthi lenzeni kuwe,” kusho uKevin.“Uxolo.Akekho okufanele…
“Uqinisile, Kevin, ngeke kube lapha.Kodwa ngidinga ukuthi ungichazele.U-Evie uthanda unina, uthanda umfowabo, nami uyangithanda, ngakho-ke ngenxa yezulu, kungani esenze kanjena??”
Imfihlakalo ethokozisayo: Nakuba uVirgil etshela uKevin ukuthi uzomlimaza uJohn ngandlela thize, ugcizelela ukuthi ikhehla “alenzanga lutho kimi”.
Ngifuna okwengeziwe?Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu ukuze uhlale unolwazi lwakamuva ngazo zonke izindaba zakamuva zokusakazwa kwayizolo.Hamba lapha ukuze uthole imininingwane eyengeziwe.
Esontweni, uMichael waphazamisa inkonzo futhi wavuma okuthile.Indaba umama wakhe ayethanda ukuyixoxa ngamawele aneminyaka emihlanu ubudala agcwala endlini ngamanzi okugeza…?Hhayi-ke, akukuhle njengoba besicabanga.“Ngavula amanzi,” kusho uMichael ebandleni.“Ngangilokhu ngiyivula ngoba u-Evie wayekhala kakhulu engafuni ukuthi uyizwe.Wayekhala ngoba asazi ukuthi ubaba wethu wahamba ngani noma wayekwenzelani lokhu.Ngivulele amanzi ngimfudumeze aze enze sengathi konke kumi ngononina.Eminyakeni emine edlule ngo-Okthoba 14, akekho owanyamalala lapha, kodwa wanyamalala ngaphambili… nangemuva kwalokho.Sasiyizi-9,261… kepha asivikelekile. ”
Ngakho lapho amawele eseneminyaka engaba ngu-5 ubudala, uJohn wadubula umukhwe wakhe uVirgil futhi wagqunywa ejele iminyaka eyisithupha ngecala lokuzama ukubulala.Kungani?Ingabe u-Virgil wanukubeza oyedwa noma bobabili abazukulu bakhe... kungaba u-Evie?Noma... kungaba u-Erica?Khumbula ukuthi ekugcineni, u-Erika wakhuliswa ugogo nomkhulu wakhe, hhayi uyise ...
U-Kevin ubizelwe eqinisweni, ngakho lapho uJohn embuza ukuthi kungani u-Evie ebathanda kangaka, uzinqumela isiphetho sakhe: “Mhlawumbe akakuthandi…”
u-bam John wadubula uKevin esifubeni, wamshiya ecabanga ukuthi ufile.Kuze kube yilapho ethola ukuthi u-Evie usetholakele nokuthi manje usegqoke ezimhlophe futhi ubhema usikilidi isikhathi sisondela uhlobo oluthile lwenhlekelele.U-Erica waphuthuma ebhulohweni wazama ukugona indodakazi yakhe.Kodwa u-Evie wenqaba ukuhlanganyela, engazange abheke ngisho nasemehlweni kanina.U-Erica uyafunga ukuthi ngeke ahambe, wethembisa ukuthi uzoyiqhumisa inqola uma u-Ivy enganyakazi.Kodwa i-trailer ayinalutho.Phela azikho iziqhumane.“Kungani wenza lokhu?”Kubuza uErica.“Angiqondi,” kuphendula u-Evie, “uyaqonda.”
Ingabe u-Virgil no-Evie baphule imithetho yesintu ndawonye?Noma u-Erica?Kungenzeka yini ukuthi uVirgil wayengumkhulu nobaba wamawele?Uma okunye kwalokhu kuyiqiniso, kuyasiza ukuchaza ukuziphatha kuka-Evie noJohn.Ukugujwa kwezimangaliso kuwukudelela ulwazi lwabo ngobubi obenzeka lapho.Ku-Evie, lokhu kubangela ukuba alulaze ngenkuthalo isimo sakhe esimenyezelwe njengendawo engcwele.KuJohane, lokhu kumenza asole noma ubani ophikelela ngokuthi idolobha linezimfanelo zemilingo noma ezingaphezu kwemvelo, azi ukuthi indawo enomlingo ngempela ngeke ivumele izenzo zobumnyama okufanele abhekane nazo.
Njengoba iwashi lishaya ku-zero, ama-GR ekamu ashintsha agqoka iyunifomu emhlophe futhi alibangisa ebhulohweni—ngisho noTommy.Eziningi zazo.Kungenzeka ukuthi uMatt wahlala phakathi kwabo isikhathi eside ngesikhathi sokudingiswa kwakhe kokuqala.Nokho, uMatt wabona ithuba futhi wavumela uMary ukuba azigiqe ebheke ebhulohweni.UNora wangabaza kancane, futhi intokazi ehlanyayo, ethatheka ngezingane yahlwitha uLily ezingalweni zayo yanyamalala esixukwini.Ethukile, uNora wazama ukubamba, kodwa wehluleka.Kodwa siyamuzwa uLily ekhala futhi simbona elahliwe eceleni komgwaqo enokunyathelana eceleni kwakhe.UNora uyatshuza ukuze amvikele, kodwa uyanyathelwa.Kodwa uTommy wabasindisa bobabili.Nakulokhu, wahlenga izingane zikaWayne wazifihla ku-trailer kwaze kwadlula umhlambi.
U-Kevin waphinde wavuka endlini yokugezela yehhotela futhi waqaphela ngokushesha ukuthi ushaye phansi.Umculo womgwaqo we-Assassin International uwubufakazi balokhu.Kwakungekho myalezo ovela kuthelevishini ovela kubaba ngalesi sikhathi, kodwa okungenani waba nombono omuhle walokho agcina eseyikho: Isikhulu Samaphoyisa eMapleton.Wagqoka umfaniswano wakhe omdala ngesikhathi esebizelwa ehholo ukuze asuse umsindo.Kodwa akukho lutho ngaphandle kwe-karaoke, umsingathi ungu-Aussie ebhulohweni ohlasela futhi weluleka u-Kevin ukuthi asuse uPatty unomphela.
Endaweni yokucima ukoma, uKevin uncenga le ndoda ukuba ibuyele ekhaya, iphikelela ngokuthi ibaluleke ngaphezu kwabanye abanamathele kulesi sihlanzo.“Uma ufuna ukuphuma lapha, okumele ukwenze nje ukucula,” kusho le ndoda uKevin, owayebonakala emsola.– Uphushele intombazane emthonjeni, awufuni ukucula?
Nansi indlela u-Kevin afika ngayo ekhaya, ukuhumusha ngokucophelela nangokujulile kwe-“Homeward Bound” ka-Simon & Garfunkel enereferensi yezingoma eziqondile zikagwayi namakhava omagazini.
Wathi uma ephaphama wayesebuya ngamakhilogremu.Inhlamvu yangena emathunjini, kodwa wopha kakhulu.Ngaphandle, kwakukhanyiswe uphawu oluthi “Welcome to the Garden”, futhi idolobha lonke lisesihogweni.Abantu benza ucansi emgwaqweni njengezinja.Kukhona i-carnival egcwele igazi esigcawini sedolobha.Isixuku sasiphethe isiphambano, singaqiniseki ukuthi sizosishisa noma sibethele umuntu esiphambanweni.Kwakusamile indoda ephethe insika.U-GR uthatha isikhungo sezivakashi futhi u-Meg ubuza u-Kevin ukuthi wenzani lapha.“Manje ngihlala lapha,” ephendula.
U-Meg uqala ukucula ingoma eyisimangaliso bese u-Evie engenelela, eklolodela u-Kevin futhi ebungaza impumelelo yabo ekucekeleni phansi ukuphelela kwakhe.
Kuleli qophelo, uKevin wayengakwazi ukuma aqonde ngenxa yokulahlekelwa igazi futhi wayengafa ukube uJohn akazange amthole emtholampilo womkakhe.“Ngakubulala,” kusho uJohn ngokungabaza.
Zehle izinyembezi.Izingoma ze-Pixies zithola omunye umjikelezo wokunconywa.Amadoda agoduka ebambene ngezandla."Kuthiwani uma kungekho muntu ekhaya?"Kubuza uJohn bemi phambi kwendlu yabo.
Igagasi lomakhelwane eliqhamuka emnyango.Okunye ukuzamazama komhlaba (engethemba ukuthi kuzobhubhisa isikhungo sezivakashi).UKevin ungena endlini yakhe futhi ubona wonke umuntu amthandayo.U-Kevin uqinisile: uma umuntu efanelwe, nguye.
Ngibona sengathi isiqephu esandulela elandulelayo sesizini senze umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu wokukhulisa ukushuba kwesimo futhi sethula inani lemibono namathuba.Isiphetho asibalulekile kancane, sivala umnyango kancane, ngaphandle kwe-bang.I-HBO namanje ayikayivuseleli i-Leftovers isizini yesithathu, futhi ungabona ukuthi Ngiphila Lapha Manje ngisebenza njengowokugcina wesizini nochungechunge lokugcina.
Kodwa kusenemibuzo okufanele iphendulwe esikhathini sesithathu esingaba khona, kuqalwe ngokukhulelwa okubili: uMeg noMary.UPatty akasekho ngokusemthethweni, futhi ukufa okubili kwenzani kumuntu?Ibhuloho lase-Australia lamhlebelani uKevin ngaphambi kokuphusha uPatty emthonjeni ngalobo busuku, futhi kwenzekani kubaba kaKevin e-Australia?Ingabe kulapho umdlalo uphokophele khona, noma kungenzeka ukuthi isizini 3 ihlale e-Jardin omunye unyaka?
Okusele kuwukudla okuyivelakancane okuye kwaba ngcono nakakhulu kuSizini 2. U-Justin Theroux noChristopher Eccleston bangimangazile ngezinye zezinto ezithinta inhliziyo nezinamandla engizibone kumabonakude unyaka wonke, futhi uPatti Ann Dowd kumele ngandlela thize avuswe - mhlawumbe yena kanye UVirgil babesanda kulenga emhumeni ndawonye ePerth.
