SIMASTY Episode 2.15 “Endgame” Part 8

Across town, Brystle had arrived at her former husband’s home. This was the first time she had been able to visit him following his assault and robbery the previous week which had resulted in Clarke being hospitalized. He had alleged that Burke had been behind the assault but after he had been arrested, Burke was released without charge pending further investigation.

The guilt of what had happened to Clarke was eating away at Brystle for she believed that Burke had arranged the attack on her former husband. Now she wanted to see with her own eyes jsut what had been inflicted upon her former husband and when he opened the door she was horrified at the scars he bore. Clarke however was not very receptive of her visit.

The mention of the payment of bills only infuriated Clarke all the more. He had left Burke’s office with a check for 5 million Simoleons, his payoff for granting Brystle the divorce. But the assault had also been a robbery and the check was stolen leaving Clarke battered, bruised and broke.

There was no use in trying to deny it publicly any longer. Brystle had wrestled with her conscience long enough and realised she could no longer defend Burke’s actions. If only she knew that in this instance that she was wrong for Burke had nothing to do with the attack on Clarke. It had all been arranged by Texas, her revenge against Clarke for his betrayal (Plot reminder- Texas had brought Clarke to Windenburg when she learned Brystle’s first marriage had never been annulled in the hope that Burke would be furious and throw Brystle out of the mansion. Clarke was to have refused to divorce Brystle , not to take the money and run!)

Clarke’s harsh words were not only hurtful but also left Brystle with a sinking feeling that something terrible was coming her way…

Meanwhile back at the mansion, there was trouble about to explode for the Drysdale’s. Their guest suite in the west wing was about to be rocked by a startling revelation from Mayhew. He stood looking out of the window pensively, knowing that what he was about to say to his wife Malaudia would surely bring her world crashing down yet again. Whilst he knew his wife was of a fragile mental state, he could no longer go on living a lie – their marriage was dead. He loved Brystle and he was calling time on his life with Malaudia. He intended on leaving Siloli this evening and he planned on taking Brystle with him. However, he didn’t count on Malaudia being one step ahead of him…

Mayhew turned around to face his wife. There was no use in going on with the charade of a marriage any longer. Malaudia knew the score and it was time she heard everything.

Malaudia marched straight forward and with all her might smacked Mayhew across the face leaving him stunned.

Malaudia of course was referring to the murder of Detective Morelli earlier that year by Mayhew’s deranged mother. She had been the one who had driven Malaudia insane and had her locked up in a simitarium and blackmailed her doctor to keep her there. Once she got rumbled by Detective Morelli she shot him in the attic of the Drysdale family home before setting fire to the place and fleeing the country taking Malaudia and Mayhew’s daughter Mimsy with her. There hadn’t been a sighting of the fugitive geriatric or her teen granddaughter since despite them both being on the SBI’s 10 Most Wanted list as well as Simterpol.

This wasn’t how he expected Malaudia to be. In fact, Mayhew could see signs of her erratic trait starting to re-emerge. But he couldn’t let that stop him from making this hard decision otherwise nothing would ever change between them.

Malaudia had heard enough! The audacity of Mayhew to stand there and declare his love for another woman!

With that, Mayhew opened the door and left, walking out on his marriage for good. Alone in the room, Malaudia stood staring at the closed door.

And then suddenly…..she snapped…

The voices…they were back in her head….voices that she had tried so very hard to suppress over the past few years….voices that Mother Drysdale had so cruelly exploited when she had driven Malaudia to the edge of insanity….

Malaudia staggered forward and clutched the side of the dresser to steady herself, trying so desperately to silence the voices in her head.

But it was too late, the voices were now in control. And in a fit of rage, Malaudia screamed at the top of her lungs. But would anyone hear her…????

SIMASTY Episode 2.15 “Endgame” Part 7

Back at the Domino residence, Brackie and her lover Oliver were about to leave to go out for a late afternoon drink. It had been a few hours since Heathen had visited and learned that his lover Frankie, Brackie’s brother, had left to re-join the army and also called an end to the relationship. Brackie was relieved that her brother had come to his senses after she had berated him for getting romantically involved with their dead brother’s one time husband. Meanwhile, Oliver, Brackie’s boyfriend, was still in shock to learn that his buddy Frankie was having a woohoo relationship with another male Sim.

Brackie smiled. It was just the little comments like this that made her realise how much she loved Oliver. Their relationship was real and the woohoo was incredible! Nothing like the sham marriage that Brackie had escaped from when she was married to Shaun Peruse, the biggest movie star in the Sim world. The marriage had been a front so as not to damage Shaun’s macho image as an all out action hero and genuine nice guy when the reality was he a control freak and 2nd in command of the weird cult of the Simotologists.

Brackie had tried to make it as a movie star and had hoped by marrying Shaun Peruse it would ignite her career. However the breakout roles never came her way due to Shaun’s influence in Wollyhood, ensuring any major roles did not come her way. That and the fact Brackie’s acting was as wooden as gatepost. After a recent visit back to Wollyhood, Brackie had discovered that in fact no major studio would even let her read for a role and she knew this had to be the work of Shaun as she was unaware of her own lack of talent in the acting field.

As they smooched on the driveway, Julia, one of the servants in the mansion, came out to inform them of a phonecall that had been received on the house phone.

Oliver kissed Brackie one more time and then headed inside leaving Brackie alone on the driveway.

No sooner had he stepped inside and the front door closed, a SUV stopped in front of the open driveway gates of Knits Londing and a shifty looking muscleman leapt out of it with silent cat like precision and made his way towards an unsuspecting Brackie!!

Before she knew a thing , the thug had seized her from behind and silenced her by covering her mouth with his large dinner plate size hands!

Brackie had no time to struggle or scream for the shock of what was happening and with her airways suddenly cut off she quickly passed out! This made it much easier for her kidnapper who effortlessly draped her slight body over his shoulder.

Brackie was unceremoniously dumped in the back of the SUV. Her kidnappers then fled the scene as quickly as they had arrived all in the space of a few seconds! The call to the house had been them, a distraction to ensure Oliver wasn’t there for he was not their target.

A few moments later, Oliver came back out after discovering there was no-on on the other line when he had gone to take the call.

Oliver looked around in puzzlement. Just where was Brackie???

Oliver felt a sudden unease sweep over him. Two years of being the personal bodyguard to that nutjob Shaun Peruse had taught him to always be alert for when thing could go wrong. And in this instance Oliver knew something HAD gone terribly wrong. There was only one reason why Brackie would have suddenly disappeared. And that reason was Shaun.

And just then Oliver remembered the fundamental rules of being a bodyguard as taught to him by his former employer Shaun:

Never let your guard down.

Never let her out of your sight.

Never fall in love….with your employer’s wife….

Oliver was about to pay a terrible price for his betrayal when he and Brackie had run off together fleeing the tyranny of Shaun and the Simotologists.

Across town, Kris Fleegan (Heathen’s architect friend and former roommate visiting from San Myshuno) had just finished an afternoon hook up with a random stranger from GrindaSim. It wasn’t something he normally did hooking up with anonymous strangers in hotels but this visit and seeing his old friend had only just confirmed to Kris that he was secretly in love with Heathen. But with Heathen happy with his new love Frankie, or so he thought, Kris had felt the need to connect with another Sim. As it was his last day in Windenburg and he likely would never return he had decided to browse GrindaSim for a local hook up with no strings attached. And he had been pleasantly surprised with the hunk who had turned up at his hotel room. The woohoo had been incredible leaving Kris in a dazed state. Perhaps this mysterious stranger would be open for another hook up should he ever be in San Myshuno?

Kris’s anonymous lover smiled nervously but said nothing.

The stranger paused for a second and looked like he was about to say something but then changed his mind. He started to pick up his clothes from the floor. Kris, sensing he had spoiled the post woohoo afterglow, quickly got up from the bed and placed his hand on the stranger’s muscly arm.

The stranger sighed as he battled with telling Kris his name. But after years of hiding this side of himself from everyone he decided to tell him his name. Afterall, what harm would it do? Kris was leaving Windenburg, it wasn’t as if he would ever see him again. So, he turned and faced his afternoon lover.

Seth Dolby….husband to Fathom Dolby….Heathen’s sister….

Kris however did not know of the connection.

Seth relaxed a little. It felt good just being able to open up to someone and tell them something about himself instead of it just being discreet anonymous hook ups with no questions.
