- Cast: Mr. Tim JohnsonMrs. Margaret JohnsonCassandraDaisy Johnson Sam Johnson The old manHousekeepersMark
- Setting the scene: Modern New York on the Upper West Side
- Finally! This war has ended. The troops are headed home and Boss Johnson we'll be coming back to the city within days. I gotta call my wife to ask her to pick me up a caramel latte from that Starbie's place. I haven't had one of those in years!
- Deep in the heart of the city lived the Johnson's. Mr. Johnson, a prominent military stategist has recently returned home from war and is accompanied by a war refugee, Cassandra.
- My! You are looking lovely today, Cassandra.
- EXCUSE ME!😡
- Please, Mr. Johnson, I hardly think this appropriate.
- I'd like for you to come work for us in our home as a housekeeper!
- I suppose I'll have to, I have no where else to go.
- Excellent! Your presence will bring some much needed joy to m-- the family.
- Very well then. I shall move into your house at once.
- 😍😍😍
- Ughhhh. What a creep!
- Back at the Johnson's home..
- HOW COULD HE DO THIS TO ME!! After everything he's put me through. His decision is the reason why our daughter is dead.
- She is lost to us because of his selfishness! And now he's brought this WOMAN home too?
- Oh! He's sealed his fate now! Just as he's inflicted pain on me, I shall do the same too him.
- The next day
- Oh darling! How lovely it is to have you back home. Daisy and Sam have missed you so much!
- We've waited far too long for your return, and I want to tell you that I forgive you for what happened to our daughter during the war.
- Please! To commemorate your triumphant return, walk this beautiful hand-woven red carpet I found at Saks.

- I have to warn somebody about what's going to happen!
- I had the weirdest dream! I dreamt that Mrs. Johnson killed Mr. Johnson and I in cold blood!!
- Cassandra, why would you say such a thing! You're crazy! Why in the world would Mrs. Johnson kill her own husband!
- I don't know! But I think my dream was some kind of prophecy, or a warning. We should listen to it! My vision was so vivid it couldn't have been just a dream.
- What you're saying is NONSENSE. It's unbelievable that you'd make this up.
- I'm NOT mad! When something happens to Mr. Johnson, don't say I didn't try to warn you!
- *sighs*
- Why will no one listen to me?
- MWHAHA!! One is gone! And Tim is next!
- Tim WILL feel the pain and suffering that I have felt
- His actions have warranted his death, and justice must be served
- But first I have to call Mark to acquire the things we'll need.
- Great! Thank you sweetheart! I'll see you tonight😜
- Yes, I can get you some net.
- The plan is in motion, Mark is getting the equipment, and I will lay the trap tonight!
- Well! What a lovely meal that was! Daisy, I believe you should be heading to bed now.
- Sleep tight Daisy!
- I was thinking I'd draw you a bath tonight dear so you could relax?
- Sure, that's sounds nice dear.
- 😈😈😈
- OK, dear. The bath is running with your favorite bubbles and salts. Why don't you hop right in.
- AAHHH..This feels great honey, thanks!
- WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA. WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?
- WAIT!! Margaret, please🫨
- GGGGAAAAHHHH!
- THIS IS FOR ALL THE SUFFERING YOU'VE EVER CAUSED ME. AND THIS IS FOR OUR DAUGHTER

- Justice has been served
