One of the four was talking. The tone was decided, but the grammar was respectful. Lidia grabbed to that incongruence between the "madam" and the imperative mode.

"Who are you? What you want from me?"

She looked at Paul, but his expression had not changed. Moreover he was getting close to her bag, searching the cellular phone. She tried to stop him, but she was pushed away. One of the others disconnected the Internet. Lidia took a deep breath to swallow her rage and fear.

"You will pay for all that. All of you will pay" she said without believing it.

"Listen, come and sit down in the sitting room. Nothing bad will happen to you."

Paul was kind again. Maybe he was able to persuade the others. He delicately pushed her towards the sofa by the fireplace. The four followed them. They want money, she thought. But she could not believe that it was Paul who let them in. He had a bad character but he was honest. She would have sworn on it.

"Something sad happened to you, madam. You and your family must leave this house."

"What? Leave the house? Who says that?"

Lidia was turned into a fury.

"You and your friends go out. Quickly. At once."

She felt her muscles ready for action. But luckily the head was working to understand, motionless in the artificial silence. She thought of the security box, of mom's jewels. She was already bound to tell them good-bye. No matter. But Paul came out with an absurd request. A meaningless request. Shit, Paul had become crazy. If there were just him, she would have faced him physically. But they were five. They could have even beaten her.

"You did not understand. From now on this is our house, not yours anymore. It is our house."

"Paul, what's wrong with you? Do you realize my husband will come back, he will call the police and you all will be in jail? And you will lose your residence permit. Remember how long it took to get it. How can you think you will not have any consequences?
