Devious Maid

Episode two: A Maid's Duty

At ten i was at the house, my mind was traveling down a high road, and i had to keep focus, but it was hard when a man was staring at you, while he drank his coffee. I sprayed the counter and slowly wiped it off, "Valentina, your uniform will arrive today." Juliet said, walking in, in a pair of skinny jeans, high heels and a top that is too revealing for me. I nodded, smiling.

"Gomez." I looked up when my named was mentioned, "Are you related to Alejandro?" Juliet's head shot up and there was anger in her eyes.

Keep it cool. "The man who stole all that money, and drugs?" I asked. "No Mr. Andy, when i was in fifth grade their were five kids who's last names were Gomez and we were not related. I have no inclination of him-- only what the paper told me." I did not think it trough, i should've changed my surname. "Would you like something to drink Mrs. Juliet?" The blonde shook her head and grabbed a energy drink from the fridge, and i nodded going back, cleaning the counter that was sticky for some reason.

"We are having friends over tonight, four course meal should do, you should go to the store and get some wine, and some other things, i don't know how to cook, so i don't know the ingredients in good well Spanish meal." I could not help to roll my eyes under my lashes, racist much, thinking it is the only thing i can make. I smiled at the woman and sighed. "Problem Valentina?"

"No Mrs. Juliet, i will make something that will make your guests gasps." I muttered, walking to the closet to get the broom, i stopped for a few moments to get my barrings. This was my first job and now i am 'hosting' a dinner to some guests, maybe some will blabber over the fact that my brother stole the money.. but i am sure the drugs will be kept hush hush. Walking back into the kitchen, i notice the woman had left but Mr. Biersack was still sitting at the table, drinking his coffee. "Are you sure you don't want any thing to eat Mr. Andy?"

He shook his head, gazing at me through the reading glasses on his eyes. He looked amazing with glasses on. "Fifteen guests will be joining us, i am sure they will enjoy beer more than wine," Duly noted Mr. Biersack. "I will be home in a few hours, i will be working from my office." He stood, removing the glasses and walked off. I sighed, he seemed irritated by something, both the husband and the wife were, and the way Juliet looked at Andy when my brother's name was mentioned. So for a few hours, i have the place to myself... Good to know.

I grabbed the cloth and spraying can, walking up stairs deciding to explore and i guess the lounge was the first place to search, seeing this where they had an argument. Brushing my hands down the painting, i found a clicking sound. "Safe." I whispered, removing the large painting from the wall. "What is the code?" I shook my head, putting the painting back. I know this is going to take time, but the sooner i can find out what happened three months ago the better.... i can still remember his face....

Three Months Ago

"I did not do it." Alejandro muttered, through the glass window. "I was framed, but those sons of a bitches are just so dammed--"

"Watch your tone Alejandro." My mother muttered, "You might be in the jail, but we don't speak like that, God is watching."

For that i could not help but roll my eyes at my mother. "What can we do Ally?" I asked, leaning forward.

"There is nothing you can do my little sister, we don't even have money for a good lawyer, not to mention no one can touch them, they hide their secrets well, They have good people burying their secrets, i will rot in here for something i did not do." The sadness in my brother's eyes made me want to hug him, but the plate glass between us would not allowed me. I sighed, placing my hand on the glass. "Don't worry, i will be okay."

"I know a lawyer who can help us." My father chimed in. "We will get you out of here my son, we will."

I got shaken from that memory when the door bell rang, quickly brushing my jeans down that became wrinkled, i walked to the door, opening it, "Yes?"

"Oh," The older woman said, "I had no idea that they hired a new maid. My name is Marcia, I am the maid for the horrible person next door, Mrs. Biersack said i should come clean, guess she forgot to tell me she already have a new maid."

I smiled, holding out my hand. "Valentina." She shook it. "How long have you been working here?"

"For ten years now, after the sixth maid quit, i always come by and clean."

Faking a gasp, i held my hand to my mouth. "So many maids, why so?"

"Trust issues i am sure, but from the grape vine of the rich and famous the Mr. loves screwing his maids, fell in love with the last one but she just vanished. We get lunch at the bistro a few miles from here, you should join us maids for some gossip." Maybe that could get me closer, and maybe the maid vanishing was connected to why my brother is behind bars and was admitted as well, being insane.

"I would love too. Thank you." The woman gave a wave and walked back, instantly pulled out my phone.

' Got a hint that Andy was banging the maids, fell in love with the last one, Guess the Mrs. found out, could it be connected? I am not sure, i will be in touch, let me know what you find or founded already. ' Valentina Gomez.
