Shannon told Todd, “throw it all out of the house”! “I want everything that belongs to him out - now!”, she screamed at the top of her lungs. The neighbors next door, were having a new roof put on, after the hail storm, and the Mexican labors on the roof could hear it all. The ruckus scared them because they were all working as illegal alien day labors. If somebody called the police, they might decide to do some investigating next door.

Allen was out of town on another “business” trip to Las Vegas. He had no idea all his earthy possessions were being relegated to the front lawn. The sprinkler system, which cycled on at 3 am everyday, would also render it wet!

Todd , was Shannon’s gay sidekick, like a girlfriend only a gayfriend. Todd wondered what was going on? Shannon, finally calmed down enough to explain she had found photos of her twin sister on a trip, to what looked like Las Vegas on his cell phone! How could she do this, how could Todd do this…… Todd had lost his little phone before he left, Shannon found it between the washing machine and dryer. Curious, she decided to take a look at his texts (nothing) and the pictures (something).

The phone had a four digit lock code, Shannon guessed it, E V I L. Shannon always thought of her sister as the evil twin, now she had proof.
