a tale of two orphans

 frank flew from fildelfia across the states to l.a. he hopped off the jet at l.a.x. and went to the car rental. the car he had reserved was ready. it was a pink and pretty prius with the new battery called hybrid. he saw the battery was charged, on the light meter, but the gas tank was almost empty so he used his smart phone completely produced by the u.s. company shevroe, to search for gasoline, shortened to gas despite being a liquid not a gas. using the map feature he found the one nearest this airport and drove toward it. 

while frank "fred" freedstyn waited under a red light by an intersection, he heard the loud booming of a rapid fire weapon... coming from his right side. soon the huge hummer was racing into view with its powerful engine roaring hardly humming... and at least three long rifle muzzles poking out the windows. the light was red for him therefore must be green for those terrorists even if they only shot in the air scaring people... he would stop them!  as the hummer neared the intersection frank estimated the few seconds until it would zoom in front of him and at the correct second he slammed his foot down on the pedal... the extremely light car leaped forward slamming into the side of the hummer... its low front prying a bit under the raised door... the hummer got bumped with great force and swerved on an angle as it rose up in one front wheel...then flipped on its side and rolled a couple times into a couple of fuel pumps where the crash ignited a fearsome fireball of bright orange. the tragedy was he would need to flee the cops despite doing what he thought was good getting rid of evil people.

and he could not fill his gas tank. so he turned sharply and went toward where he had heard the gunshots.

a short swerve and he was at the front of a house. its windows shattered and a long row of men and women corpses on the brown grassy lawn except for the red around the corpses. the bride in her bright pink gown was down and only the lower part was still pink as the top got dyed while she died. the groom in his crimson red jacket and white suit pants lay beside her. almost everybody looked young in their twebties and they were clearing doing a home wedding. only two old corpses apparently the parents lay among the corpses. too late frank noticed the baby carriage. he exited his prius and walked worriedly toward it. inside was a tiny baby barely one year old sleeping. its bottle lay beside it. he walked to the from=nt door which was open and looked inside he could smell and see the fresh hot food lined up on the table for the reception meal. he called around the home "you can come out now' but clearly everyone had been outside for the wedding in the front lawn. 

fred reasoned that it was only fair that he would not need to pay rent in exchange for taking care of the orphans. he cancelled his checks on the rental apartment in philadelfia so he would not pay while he lived here.

he brought the carraige in door and put the baby in the basement. then he put most of the food in the basement fridge.

when she cried he used to frozen milk in the freezer to feed her. he did not need to buy food as the food for the wedding filled the frij and 2 freezers. he stayed in the basement ignoring the sirens apparently from cops who came to gather and identify the body. they did not even enter the home once they saw the whole family was dead. 

nobody came to collect rent and even the phone did not even ring... month after month. he took care of the orphan for almost a year before the bank representative came. 

that fateful morning when he was giving his daughter fran formula from powder that he had ordered delivery using the credit cards in the home, he heard the doorbell ding. he went to see who was there?

the man gave him the papers "your mortgage is complete you now own the house". apparently the automatic payments had been from an account that had enough to pay the last payments. 

frank lived in the house a few more years until fran was four. he lied to her that he was her father but her ma had died in a drive by shooting which was true.

time to send her to preschool. no he would home school her. he studied franticly calling himslef frantic frank and getting his online teaching degree in a couple months.

then he used the new york ciity curriculum to teach her preschool addition and language skills.

he added science by telling her about the world and reading stories from the website "simple classics dot org" a website he had started where he rephrased classics in simpler english for kids. now he read from his phone to the calm kid. they never ever needed to leave the house and apparently all utility was automatic from the credit cards...

finally the credit card dates expired. by then fran was 8 years old.

seeing the date of expiration he ordered froom the same bank and they identified him based on the home phone number so they mailed a new card. after all it was for raising the kid.

finally the fateful day came when summer vacation some cousins came to visit.

the phone rang for the first time in years. he had only been using the phone to call out. a male voice said, "glad we got you at home we were gonna go to the k.f. joint for lunch but if you are home we will bring it to you. 

frank told the truth "my name is frank. whoever you thought lived here moved" like moved to the grave. well if you are not comfortable inviting us in we still invite you to join us at the joint. "no thanks" replied frank and pressed the small tong of plastic. 

soon cops were banging on the door. who are you why do you live here? he told the truth "i am taking careof an orphan.' they accused him of peado and tossed him into prison moving her to a doc appointemnt to inspect the damage. only after the doc reported she was unharmed did they drop the rape charges. they tried to pressure her to tell the truth that he "touched her private parts" but she just sobbed "my daddy is so nice stop saying that about my daddy". finally the psychologist said "all the indications are true you are traumatizing her. one cop said we will do lie detector on both just to be sure.

they pulled him out of solitary cell and asked lie detector questions. despite frank passed, still the accuser said he is just a psychopath with no emotions for lying and still guilty. last the daughter passed the lie detector test and her daddy was released from prison.

finally he told fran the truth, "i was nearby when gangsters shot your parents dead. so i took care of you. you are not realy my daughter" fran answered you are more a father than most biolagical parents... and they lived happily ever after until she reached age 18... then he told her it is time to find a husband and she said "if you are sure you are not my dad then i love you most. that is how frank and fran married each other despite a huge age gap. together they rasied fran junior. with fran's love for him, they lived happily ever after. meanwhile a block away in l.a. a lady who had been fonnd infertile went to her neighbors home. their baby was just two months old, at the time of fran and frank's weding at the justice offic eat city hall. she shot both parents at the dinner table, so that she could raise the orphan as her daughter. she hid the corpses in the basement. last she brought her five pet cats from her home. her plan worked and the cats hid the evidence. this child would also not remember her parents' death later she would think this ma ws her ma. and despite the lady was a cyber-expert psycho... they too lived happily ever after.
