Marlene remembered when and where to go. 6:30pm at Private's mother's house. Marlene was waiting in her upuan at the house, she waited for Private to come downstairs and talk. She looked around, the kusina looked old, judging that the house was built in post-world war 2 periods, the mesa was square, but with a beautiful chandelier hovering above, and the chairs were soft and cushoned. 'What's taking him so long?' Marlene had asked herself. Before she decided to give up and walk away, she heard arguing upstairs, it was Private, arguing with his mother, again. 'I can't let my sweet baby boy down there!! You gotta stop this dating nonsense before I take extra measures on your relationship with that mammal!!' yelled Private's mother. 'But mum, she loves me, and I feel the same way, please accept her as she is!!' begged Private. 'Fine, I'll let you see her down there, but it'll be the LAST time you'll ever meet her on fully!!' yelled Private's mother. 'Nag nag nag!!! Go die in a hole!!' yelled Private, before slamming the door. He walked down the staircase, and sat across from Marlene. 'I'm so sorry Marlene, I promise this'll be the last time we petsa in this dreary house,' promised Private.
------------------------------------------------------------
Throught the whole date, Marlene remained quiet, barely pushing her pagkain around. 'Anything wrong love?' asked Private. 'Nothing, it's just, I wanna get to meet her, and let her know that she needs help, have you tried to put her in a retirement home?' asked Marlene. 'She hates leaving me, she's jealous of you love, she won't let me leave!! But, we can always elope and run away,' suggested Private. 'Elope? I can take you with me!! To California!! We can live there for the rest of our lives, together!!' shouted Marlene cheerfully. 'Shhhh!!! Remember, my mum?' whispered Private. 'Got it, when we go, I'll take the $40,000 check with me, and you'll be with me in a lovely apartment,' replied Marlene. 'Of course, but we have to head back to the motel, my car is over there,' whispered Private. 'You mean, you own the sportscar parked in the shed outside?' asked Marlene. 'Yep, hurry now, mum is old, but she is very fast at her actions, we must head there now,' sinabi Private. After reaching the motel, Marlene began to take a paliguan for the long journey ahead, and she noticed Skipper had gone to talk to Private, she shrugged it off, and turned on the water, letting the cool water heat up for her to wash up.
--------------------------------------------------------------
'Alright Mr. Bates, what're ya up to? I see you're leaving with Marlene, what for?!' asked Skipper, pressing Private against the wall. 'Stop calling me Mr. Bates!! Thats my last name!! Secondly, I'm in pag-ibig with her, but mum won't let us love, so we're running away!!' answered Private. 'With my girl? I saw her first, I slept in the same room first!! She's mine!!' yelled Skipper, getting ready to manuntok him. 'Pleeeease don't hurt me!! I didn't know you liked her!! I'm sorry!!' yelled Private, frantically waving his flippers as Skipper punched his beak. Private grabbed his beak in agony, crying hard, then ran out the door to the lobby. Skipper then decided to go out for a drive so he could think on what he did, so he walked to the door, ran out, and he hopped in the Eleanor, and drove off, feeling guilt run through his body, eating him away like a powerful acid. He then saw Private crying, climbing up the steps to his house, and entering inside the house. 'Ugh, why do I have to hurt people when it doesn't need toget bad?' Skipper had asked himself, the guilt continued eating him alive, like a hungry cannibal knawing his grizzled bones.
------------------------------------------------------------
Marlene had not heard the argument, because the water was so loud and she let it run down her fur, she was always calm in the water, she felt free, and alive, in the water, she always did. But this paliguan went different, she could barely see through the translucent paliguan curtain, and she heard a click, from the lock on her bedroom door, she thought it was probably Skipper, so she felt calm. She did see the figure of a ibong dagat at the door, but it was not Skipper's, it didn't look like Private's shadow either, she saw a flipper, peer through the curtain. Marlene got scared, no, frightened to the bone. 'Skipper, is it you?!' she asked, quivering, 'Oh wait, is it Mrs. Bates? I know your son!!' sinabi Marlene. She screamed as she saw the shadow of a kutsilyo on the other flipper. 'I am Private's mum, you leave my boy alone, forever!!!' yelled Private's mother as she started stabbing Marlene. Marlene gasped and screamed, kicking around in the stall, she put up a good 3-4 minuto fight, before the wounds finally killed her. Private's mother ran out, heading for the door, a bloody trail of foot prints left over. Private was in the lobby and began to check up on rooms, the first 5 rooms being normal, then, he unlocked the door to Marlene's room. He scraped his feet on the 'Welcome' rug and headed inside, Skipper wasn't there, and Private knew Marlene should be dryed off sa pamamagitan ng now. 'Marlene? Lovy? Are you- AAAAHHH!!!' yelled Private as he entered the bathroom, he had started to cry and rolled her body around, no pulse, no puso beat. 'Mum... She probably did this...' sinabi Private to himself, 'You sick son of a bitch, I gotta file this, but mum can't get arrested yet, Skippah will be pissed if he finds that my mum killed her...'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Private frantically cleaned up the bloody mess, and let it drain to the shower, he then picked up Marlene's lifeless body, and wrapped her in the paliguan curtain, he then ran to his car, as fat as he was, he ran faster than normal, threw Marlene's body in the car, and drove off. He then saw the swamp that lied behind the ridge of the mountains and began to drive past the speed limit, since there were no cops in the area. 'Where's that damned bayou?!' yelled Private to himself. He slowed down at the bumps in the searing torrent of rain, wiping off sweat from his forehead and crying tears. 'Why does mum ruin everything for me?! She needs to be put in an institution for this!!' he had thought. He then sighed in relief as he saw the swamp, laden with plants and trees. 'Here's the spot,' thought Private. He then ran to the trunk, pulled out Marlene's corpse, and dumped it into the water, watching it sink out of view. Out of sight, but not out of mind. He then ran into the car, and slammed on the accelerator, driving off with a screech into the rain.
