Teen Needs Spanking!
(Chancellor
Mausoleum) -- Detective Paul "Clueless" Williams returned to Genoa City after a
brief jaunt to India. The ace detective wasted no time doing what he was told to do by
Mrs. Katherine Sterling and headed straight to the Chancellor Mausoleum where he informed
Sterling's granddaughter, Mackenzie Browning to stay put until Mrs. Sterling returns from
India. "She broke her deal with me. I can do what I want" Browning snarled.
Like so many in Genoa City, Clueless doesn't have much of a brain. If he did, Clueless
would have reminded Browning she's only fifteen years old and will do as she's told.
Instead of waiting around to see if Browning would obey, Clueless should have sought
someone in authority to obtain a court order imposing restrictions on the teen and/or
instructing the girl to attend school. At the very least, Clueless should have reported
the child to local truant authorities resulting perhaps in Browning being taken into
protective custody until Sterling returns. What the kid really needs is a good spanking.
Brainless
Offers Home!
(Newman Ranch) -- The Genoa City
News has learned runaway teen girl Mackenzie Browning will soon grow so impatient with the
unstable situation at the Chancellor Mausoleum she will ponder hitting the road again. In
a surprise turn of events, the woman in Genoa City who carries her warped brain around in
a jar, Sharon Newman, will offer Mackenzie a place to stay at the Newman Ranch!
October 1999
How'd They Do
That?
(District School
Hqtrs, Genoa City, WI) -- Fifteen year old Mackenzie Browning will reportedly soon
become enrolled at the prestigious private Walnut Grove Academy school for the rich thanks
primarily to Sharon Newman who claims to have made all the arrangements. Since it's
unlikely Reynolds carries a birth certificate around in her back pack, local school
officials are said to be investigating just how Mrs. Newman managed to get Browning into a
private school without a certificate especially when there are notoriously long waiting
lists for enrollment. In most cases it can take years to get into a private school and
parents have been known to go to extraordinary lengths (including bribing school
officials) to get their children accepted. "It's something we'll be checking into.
When did Mrs. Newman discuss the matter with Katherine Sterling. Who put up the tuition
money or get Browning's guardian, Mrs. Sterling's signature? There are too many unanswered
questions here" Genoa City school district superintendent Madeline Andrews told the
Genoa City News. Since any school application would require a parental signature that
leaves Sharon Newman out. Besides, Mrs. Newman can barely write her own name. So how did
Mackenzie Browning get into a private school at the last moment? Ironically, Billy Abbott
and his pal with no last name, Raul, will be attending the same school!
Has Teen Run Away Again?
(Walnut Grove Academy) -- School officials at the prestigious and very private Walnut
Grove Academy have listed Mackenzie Browning on the school's weekly absentee report.
"It's a shame that child has begun skipping class so soon after all the trouble that
nice Mrs. Sharon Newman went through to get her enrolled. We don't accept just anybody
here at Walnut Grove especially when some person not remotely related tries to
enroll them. In the Reynolds case we made an exception" Bertha Hillgate, school
administrator told this reporter. Browning was last seen leaving school grounds headed in
the direction of Newman Rocks but the manager there reports she never showed up. "She
did call to say she wouldn't be in and hung up. Say, didn't her father die or something
like that?" the Rocks manager said. "Yeah, I saw a kid fitting her description
hanging on the street near Nina Webster's apartment but there are so many kids on the
street when they should be in school I didn't give it a second thought" Sergeant
Gomer Piles of the Genoa City Police told the GCNews. Nina Webster could not be reached
for comment. Even so, why would Browning have gone to Webster's place? They only met once
for a brief period of time.

Let's Dig Up Some Dirt!
(Genoa City) -- Jill Abbott has made it known she's thinking about hiring detective Paul
'Clueless' Williams to dig up some dirt on Mackenzie Browning. While not telling her point
blank the super sleuth can't find his way out of a wet paper bag, John 'Yawn' Abbott has
cautioned Jill not to do anything foolish unless she wants to start World War III.

Sharon
Newman Sanctions Teen Drinking
When Sharon Newman shakes her head the sound of rocks rattling around in a box can be
heard for miles. As the Sweet 16 party was wrapping up Mackenzie Browning told Newman her
sob story about how Raul was at the Slater beer party. "I could give you a ride home
- we could stop by the other party" Newman said. And do what Sharon? Let 16 year old
Mac run in to get a drink? Ask the underage drinkers if they were having a good time? If
Newman had a brain she should have called the police.

Prom Dress Dilemma?
(Chancellor Estate) -- Walnut Grove Academy student, Mackenzie Browning is reportedly
seeking a dress to wear at the upcoming WGA Prom. At the Chancellor Mausoleum Tuesday,
Browning said she was thinking about looking through some magazines to get an idea what
style to pick but with her busy schedule didn't know where she would find the time.
Besides, it's difficult to tell from pictures how a dress will fit. The thought of going
to the mall didn't seem to be an option.
When
Browning's father, Brock Reynolds heard of his daughter's plan to thumb through magazines
he remarked to his mother, "You should be proud Mac is so well organized."
Katherine Sterling, Browning's granny, waved her long fingernails into the air and
proclaimed, "You'll be the belle of the ball" as thoughts raced through her head
of where on earth she might come up with a gown worthy of containing her granddaughter's
precious bones.
Sterling may come up with a plan to place a telephone call to Fenmore Department Store
owner, Lauren Fenmore. Currently in Los Angeles, Fenmore is expected to drop what she's
doing, fly to Genoa City, and personally select Browning's attire.
Teen Girl Read Riot Act!
(Chancellor Mausoleum) -- Her thoughts racing after sharing a kiss with Billy Abbott,
Mackenzie Browning ran into an angry Jill Abbott here Tuesday and got more than she
bargained for.
Upset that hours earlier Browning had been crowned queen of the Walnut
Grove Academy freshman prom, Abbott ripped into Browning with a vengeance. Her intentions
clear, Abbott accused Browning of being nothing more than a "gold digging witch"
and instructed the sour puss faced teenager to stay away from her son, Billy Abbott.
Failure to do so will result in Abbott's taking off the gloves.
After Abbott's tirade, Browning appeared to be scared half to death. Had
she more experience, Browning would have known there was a time when it wasn't good to get
on Abbott's bad side, but lately Abbott is nothing more than a bag of hot air.
Meantime, Billy Abbott reported to his brother, Jack Abbott, how he and
Browning were crowned king and queen at the prom and went on to express his true feelings
for the girl. Usually unconcerned, the elder Abbott warned there will be hell to pay if
Jill Abbott finds out.
What's In Suspicious Package?
(Chancellor Estate) -- Fearful Jill Abbott will make good on threats to do whatever it
takes to keep her away from Billy Abbott, Mackenzie Browning was surprised Wednesday when
Air Express delivered a packet to the Chancellor mausoleum. As she signed for the packet
Browning noticed it was addressed to Jill Abbott. But what really caught her eye was the
return address. The Freeman Detective Agency in St. Louis, MO.
Browning flashed that St. Louis is also where her mother, Amanda, lives. So what
incriminating information could be inside the packet? Does Browning's mother have a shady
past? Is she currently a hooker, a dope user/seller or both? If so, how would that affect
the younger Browning? Could there be something in the teenager's past she wouldn't want
made public? Teens are capable of doing dastardly deeds like - murder!
Whatever skeletons might be in the closet are unlikely to change Billy Abbott's perception
of the girl who has given him feelings he's never had before - so what is the problem?
Now that Browning has been selected as Jabot Cosmetics Glow girl a haunting past could be
quite an embarrassment.
Give Me A Ticket For An Airplane - The Letter!
(Genoa City) --Mackenzie Browning read the letter addressed to Jill Abbott, stuffed it in
her pocket, got a panicked looked on her face and then rushed off to stuff her backpack
for what appeared to be another attempt to run away from her problems. But before she
could get out of the Chancellor mausoleum Billy Abbott arrived and the two went to Traci
and Ashley Abbott's old playhouse. Browning sputtered about Jill Abbott's threats and
showed young Abbott the letter which meant nothing to him.
Browning had to explain that Abbott intends to bring her mother, Amanda, into the picture
and that would spell trouble.
The letter addressed to Jill Abbott was from the St. Louis private detective she recently
hired to look into Browning's past. In the letter, the PI stated he was unable to locate a
copy of Browning's birth certificate and felt the next step would be to contact the
mother. But, the PI went on, he cannot speak with the mother until he gets permission!
This revelation raised a few eyebrows around the Genoa City News. Just what is wrong with
the PI's in and around Genoa City? They can't find the simplest of things and need
permission to proceed?
So how did the original conversation between Jill and the PI go? Could it have been
something like this?
Jill: "I want to hire you to find out anything you can about Mackenzie
Browning."
PI: "Sure, I'll get on it right away but first I'll need a five-thousand dollar
retainer."
Jill: "Here's a check."
PI: "Thanks. Now, what kind of information do you want me to find?"
Jill: "I just told you. Anything you can."
PI: "Okay, I think a good place to start is with something easy. Obtaining the kid's
birth certificate should be a piece of cake. With a birthplace I'll have a reference
point."
Jill: "Sounds good. Let me know when you've got something I can use."
PI: "No problem. As soon as I know anything I'll send you a letter by express mail.
That way if you're not home when the letter arrives whoever gets their hands on it first
can open it if they wish. No sense wasting money on phone calls."
Jill: "Sounds good. I'll be in touch."

TEEN GIRL FEARS CAPTURE?
(Genoa City) -- The
only teenager in Genoa City with difficulty smiling, Mackenzie Browning has blasted Jabot
webmaster Phyllis Summers for putting a photo of her on the Glow web site.
"It's only her back for crying
out loud. Nobody can tell who she is. I didn't see the harm but she snapped at me never to
use her picture again. What's her problem?," Ms. Summers said.
The problem is Browning doesn't want
to be seen for fear her mother in St. Louis, or her worldwide pals, will be surfing the
Internet, stumble across the Glow website, see her and come to Genoa City to get her.
But if Amanda Browning had the
slightest interest in finding her runaway daughter, wouldn't she have already launched a
search?
If Jill Abbott has her way, Mrs.
Browning will soon be located and Abbott's son Billy will have to find another girl to
"fall in love with." While Mrs. Abbott is reportedly working toward that end,
the Genoa City News has projected any renewed search for Mrs. Browning will fail.
MAJOR BLUNDERS!
(Chancellor Estate) -- Jill
Abbott badgered Mackenzie Browning here Wednesday over the letter from a St. Louis private
detective delivered to the Chancellor Estate by express mail. The letter has been missing
since Browning signed for and stuffed it in her pocket.
"It's a felony you
know," Abbott spat at Browning who did not directly admit taking the letter. What
Abbott apparently doesn't know is that mail theft is not a felony. It's a misdemeanor.
Abbott again warned Browning that
she and Abbott's son, Billy, will never be together. "I beg you. Don't do this. Don't
get my mother involved. My mother can't know where I am," Browning blurted out.
Browning's blunder gave Abbott an
idea. While promising not to notify Amanda Browning of her daughter's whereabouts so long
as Browning keeps her promise to stay away from young Abbott, Mrs. Abbott wondered why
Browning is so fearful. If Mrs. Browning gave a rip about her daughter wouldn't she be
looking for her? Could Mrs. Browning prove the teen is no more Katherine Sterling's
granddaughter than the man in the moon? Only one one way to find out - contact Amanda
Browning!
WITH THIS RING...
(Glow Headquarters) -- Observed at the Glow by Jabot website command center
exchanging body fluids under an August starry sky, teenager Mackenzie Browning worried.
Somebody might see her with the boy she loves!
Although Billy Abbott has repeatedly told the sour puss not to fret, Browning remained
edgy. To break the ice, Abbott took Browning inside where he presented her with an opal
ring.
"Oh Billy! This is beautiful. This is the first time anyone has given me something
special," Browning bubbled adding she'll wear the ring only for herself so that
people don't become suspicious.
Pleased with himself, Abbott offered to drive his girl home. "What if somebody
sees us," Browning tormented. Again, Abbott reassured his worry wart there is no need
for apprehension. If anyone should see them together they'll simply write it off as
something teens do.
In a related development, webmaster Phyllis Summers was seen with scorned teen Brittany
Hodges at Newman Rocks. "Boyfriend problems? Is he cheating on you," Summers
asked as if all depressed looking teenagers are being cheated on by their lovers. Having
earlier witnessed the boy she loves swapping spit with Mackenzie Browning, Hodges would
only say, "When I hurt, others will hurt too."
Teen Ready To Run!
Distraught that Jill Abbott
will make her life a living hell if she sticks around Genoa City for a moment longer,
teenager Mackenzie Browning has informed the man she loves, Billy Abbott, that the time
has come to hit the road.
Running, An Adventure?
"What
we have is so perfect. We’ll figure out something," teenager Billy Abbott told
Mackenzie Browning here Monday after his teen angel pressured him to go on what she called
an "adventure."
Putting her own concerns first, Browning was not interested in what running away from
her problems would do to members of her family. "We have a lot of things to keep us
here. A lot to consider," Abbott persisted failing to warn Browning that running
could result in having her declared a delinquent.

No Runoff For Teen!
Thought to be
going on the run again, grumpy, sour puss teenager Mackenzie Browning was located here
Monday after a semi-intensive search.
One of many persons in Genoa City with no last name, Browning was located by schoolmate
Raul as she prepared to board a bus.
Upset boyfriend Billy Abbott had been sleeping all summer with fellow Glow girl,
Brittany Hodges, Browning blamed herself for being a "misfit."
After a routine pep-talk by Raul based on how running away would hurt those who care
about her, Browning returned to the Chancellor mausoleum as if nothing at happened.
In fact, nothing much did happen. A few of Browning's pals were concerned she might be
running away from her problems again but only one actually made a concentrated effort to
find her.
Browning's grandmother, Katherine Sterling, was told her granddaughter might be
thinking of going on the run yet took no action to prevent it. Browning's father, Brock
Reynolds, to this day is totally unaware his daughter is having a crisis and rarely
communicates with Browning.
While unavailable to comment on this report, Reynolds and others probably could care
less. A person can only cry wolf so many times. Browning's sad looking smile-less face,
her whines and rants about how life done her wrong have attached themselves to the last
nerve of many.
Suicidal Employee
Genoa City's
"coffee house by day, club for all ages by night", Newman Rocks, has re-hired
troubled teenager Mackenzie Browning as a waitress.
Browning
gave up the part-time job prior to summer to work as a 'Glowgirl' on the Jabot Cosmetics
website. Since the site shutdown Browning has become increasing despondent due to a case
of love sickness gone bad and was recently overheard saying, "I wish I didn't feel
like I want to die."
Suicide ranks
#8 as the nations top killer with 11.3 deaths per 1,000 people. Among teens, suicide ranks
#3.
Sourpuss Kicked To Curb
Walnut Grove
Academy student, Mackenzie Browning, was kicked to the curb Friday after informing no last
name classmate, Raul, she and Billy Abbott have been secretly dating all summer.
Thinking he was
the boy in Browning's life, Raul was repulsed by the news. Browning whined how her love
life is a mess and sought Raul's shoulder to cry on until Raul bellowed, "Don’t
ask me for sympathy. Get away from me! Get out of here now!"

Troubled Teen
Seeks Help
Walnut Grove Academy student,
Mackenzie Browning is reportedly troubled that Billy Abbott, the boy she loves, continues
to believe sex would have been the answer to their relationship woes.
Unknowingly drugged
by classmate Brittany Hodges, young Abbott remains without a clue to what really happened
on that fateful summer night at the Abbott poolhouse during which Hodges claims Abbott
performed sexually.
Bothered and confused, Browning is
reportedly seeking out an adult she can confide in. Someone with experience. Someone with
a brain. Someone like - Sharon Newman?

Use The Damn Phone!
Walnut Grove Academy student and all around sourpuss Mackenzie Browning
summoned no last name classmate Raul out to the Chancellor Estate on Monday only to ask if
Raul had urged the boy she loves, Billy Abbott, not to tutor at the homeless shelter.
When Raul admitted doing so, Browning told him to mind his own business and summarily
sent Raul on his way without so much as a thank you for riding the bus all that way to
answer a question he could have responded to over the telephone.

Put Out Or Be Shut Out?
Busy Walnut Grove Academy student Mackenzie Browning was faced with one of life's
cold hard facts on Friday when classmate, and one of many in this city with no last name,
J.T. informed the usually sour-faced teenager she'll have to make a decision about her
virginity soon.
Browning listened intently as JT explained how Billy Abbott, the boy she
loves, and his current babe Brittany Hodges may not have had sex last summer but they are
sexually active now. And if Browning's dream of getting back together with Abbott becomes
a reality "he won't be satisfied with just kissing and holding hands."
"Once a guy crosses that bridge there is no turning back. He wants
more sex," JT espoused making no effort to encourage the use of birth control should
Browning decide the only way to get Abbott is to put out for him.

Browning To Be New Glow Worm!
In a move that could make or break the future of Jabot Cosmetics, Walnut Grove
Academy student Mackenzie Browning will reportedly become the newest 'Glow Worm' for the
company's website.
Jabot established the teen oriented site last summer and has since funneled millions of
dollars into its 'Glow by Jabot' line of cosmetics aimed primarily at young adults. Via
on-line chats and streaming video of 'Glow Worms' lounging around a pool pulling swim
suits out of butt cracks, Jabot executives claim cosmetic sales have reached an all-time
high.
Recently estranged from Jabot CEO Jack Abbott's brother Billy, Browning agreed to renew
a bond with the younger Abbott after becoming trapped in an elevator. Overly elated, Billy
Abbott made the announcement here Tuesday that he wants Browning to be the newest Glow
Worm.
Teen Uncorks
Sob Story
Saying she has kept it bottled up far too long, Walnut Grove Academy student and newest
member of the Jabot Cosmetics Glow Worms, Mackenzie Browning has told the tale of how she
came to run away from home.
Red-eyed and fighting back the tears, Browning told classmate and beau, Billy Abbott, how
her mother, Amanda Browning, re-married when she was just a young lime on the sourpuss
tree. At age seven, Browning said her step-father seemed nice at first but she felt as if
the man was waiting for her to grow up.
"There were times when I thought I was paranoid," Browning sniffled. "He
would hold my hand a little too long. He’d rub my back and shoulders and when I
started wearing a bra it seemed like he wanted to unhook clasp," Browning went on.
Fighting to maintain her composure, Browning added her mother had assured her there was
nothing to fear from her step-father but she made up her mind not to be alone with him.
The plan worked for a short time but one night while her mother was working late, she came
home to what she thought was an empty house.
"When I turned the light on in my room he was waiting for me. He caught me off
guard and I froze. He told me how he missed being close to me and I could smell the
alcohol on his breath when he tried to kiss me. I could feel his [unintelligible],"
Browning broke off in an apparent reference to an erect penis felt through a pair of
pants.
"It was obvious what was going to happen. He was unbuttoning my shirt when we heard
the front door open. Mom came home early. He left my room as soon as he heard her. It was
awful," Browning sobbed.
Browning told her mother what had happened but wasn't believed. "She didn’t
believe me. She told me not to lie about him," Browning cried.
After that event that Browning decided to become a runaway. "I decide right then I
had to leave and I did," she confirmed.
Browning made her way to Genoa City in 1999 where she was discovered by her grandmother,
Katherine Chancellor Sterling, and went on to fulfill the dream of many young American
teenaged girls. A life as a Glow Worm for a non-existent cosmetics company web-site.

Happy Daze
"I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm glad she's out of my life," Mackenzie
Browning spewed Monday in reference to the revelation her mother cannot be located in St.
Louis and with any luck at all, may have dropped off the face of the earth.
If Browning's
accusations about her step-father are true, the little snot should be displaying some
concern for her mother's safety rather than being pleased that the woman who gave her
life, albeit meaningless, won't be around to see her sour puss on a web site that doesn't
exist.
The Letter...
In what
some are jokingly referring to as "a show of great intellect," Walnut Grove
Academy student and Jabot Cosmetics "Glow Worm", Brittany Hodges wrote and
mailed a letter Thursday to Mrs. Amanda Browning in care of Cottonwood High School in St.
Louis, MI.
"Dear Mrs. Browning, I have information about your daughter. I will be eagerly
awaiting your response. You can reach me at the address below," Hodges wrote, signed
her name and dropped the letter into a mail box.
Mrs. Browning was last seen in St. Louis living with an alcoholic husband but recently
departed for parts unknown. To date, credit card companies, the IRS, Social Security and
other government agencies have been unable to locate the pair.
"Wow, I sure hope she reads it and maybe even writes me back," Hodges may have
thought to herself as she plots to get dirt on fellow worm, Mackenzie Browning which
Hodges hopes will cause another break up between Browning and original glow worm, Billy
Abbott.
According to Newman Rocks patrons where Hodges scripted the letter, she was "in high
spirits" following the mailing of the letter and hasn't considered a negative
outcome.
Local all-purpose attorney John Silva has stated he tried to reach Mrs. Browning without
success and in fact Browning left no forwarding address. If Hodges' letter is forwarded to
Browning by Cottonwood school, it will go down in history as one of the most bizarre
events ever to happen in Genoa City.
But despite such a miraculous twist, why would Mrs. Browning respond to the letter?
Clearly, if she feels a deep psychological affinity with her daughter, wouldn't she have
made an attempt to locate her by now?
The dysfunctional relationship between mother and daughter was brought about when
Browning's step-father allegedly tried to force himself on her. It is possible that the
trauma did happen but Mrs. Browning stood by her man and paid the price when her daughter
went on the run. As luck would have it, Browning turned up in Genoa City at a homeless
shelter where she accidentally bumped into an old woman who turned out to be her rich
grandmother.
Browning has since attributed her angrily defiant public persona on emotional abuse
suffered as a child. After falling in and out of love and back in again with Billy Abbott,
Browning remains on guard against losing her man to Hodges who will do whatever it takes
to get Abbott back.
But what does Hodges hopes to gain by contacting Browning's mother remains a mystery. Is
her rash, selfish plotting merely the act of a desperate love-struck teenager?
Glow Worm exposed!
Like
all legitimate companies, Jabot Cosmetics maintains a listing of its employees for the IRS
and other governmental agencies. Even the prestigious higher learning institution, Walnut
Grove Academy, while not known for enforcing rules about hanging out in hallways or
requiring students to attend class, keeps a list of its students.
Since her
identity can easily be ascertained, why was Glow Worm Mackenzie Browning in a panic Friday
when one of her 'fans' posted her full name on the Internet? Was it paranoia? The fear
that her mother or abusive step-father might have nothing better to do than check out
websites where mindless teenagers waste their time in chat rooms and see her name?
And what
difference does it make? So what if her mother were to find her? Does Browning think she
can go through life hiding from the past?

Glow light shines for hotel workers!
A maid employed by the Genoa City Hotel found herself in need of some eye
shadow. Before going to work she pawed through a cosmetics drawer unable to locate the
Matte Sable or the Plum Berry. Rather than jumping into the car or hopping a bus for a
trip to the corner store, the maid waited until she was on the job and had managed to
seize an opportunity to slip away from changing bed sheets and cleaning toilets. With a
coworker hovering over her shoulder, the maid found a computer and began searching the
Internet for cosmetics sites.
The obvious stores, Macys, J.C. Penney, Sears and the like were not places where the woman
wanted to purchase her desperately needed eye shadow. Any old eye shadow wouldn't do. She
needed an exotic eye shadow. Something in exciting matte and super frosted shades.
Typing the keywords 'eye shadow' into a search engine displayed a listing of cosmetics
sites on the computer screen. At the top of the list was Glow by Jabot. The woman clicked
on the link and in moments the following information appeared:
"Welcome back to "our" house. We've gotten through another school year and
we're back at the NEW GLOW HOUSE! We have all the updates you could possibly want, along
with photos and bios! All of our summer fun will be brought into your home, plus something
really special. Come on in and see what's new!"
The maid was intrigued. She clicked on the PRODUCTS link and was taken to another screen
where she clicked on EYE SHADOWS. The following information displayed:
"Jabot brings to you some of summer's most fabulous looks! This year we're extending
our line from suntan lotion, perfumes, mascara, and lip gloss to t-shirts, hats, shorts
and much, much more. Glow lit up your summer days and nights last year with our line; let
us work our magic this year as well. We have put together our new boutique for you to shop
for your favorite products online."
But there was a problem! When the old maid clicked on eye shadows nothing happened! There
were no active links. Just these words under EYE SHADOWS.
"Rianna works wonders with the new Glow Eye Shadows. These beautiful colors give you
a natural, yet simple look."
In frustration, the maid rolled the mouse looking for an active link. Just then, her
coworker noticed the image of a girl on the screen. A real live Glow Worm who looked very
familiar. After punching up the site chat room, the maid pecked away at the keyboard
asking if anybody knew the name of the girl. Amazingly, the girl herself replied to say
her name is Mackenzie. "What is it? Do you know that girl, Amanda?" the maid
asked her coworker.
Amanda Browning wrung her hands. Could the girl with the name Mackenzie be her long lost
daughter? Nearly hyperventilating in anticipation, Mrs. Browning thanked her lucky stars.
If she hadn't been slacking off on the job she might never have stumbled upon what has to
be her daughter.

You dirty rat!
Having pangs of guilt, Jabot
Cosmetics Glow Worm, Mackenzie Browning, took steps Wednesday to correct a clear and
present mistake in judgment.
"I made someone a
promise not to tell where she is. I would be breaking a major confidence but her parents
and family are really concerned about her. I’m wondering if I should tell them,"
Browning spewed to coffee shop by day, club for all ages by night manager, Cody Dixon
without revealing specific knowledge of runaway Colleen Carlton's
whereabouts.
Rather than
press Browning for details, and apparently unaware that his employer and patrons have been
in a tizzy for days about a certain runaway kid, Dixon told Browning, "put yourself
in her shoes. Would you want someone to rat on you?"
Browning raced
to Our Lady of the Worthless Miracle homeless shelter where she demanded Connelly give
herself up. But, after listening to Connelly throw a major fit, agreed not to tell anyone
so long as the 13-year-old agreed to stay at the shelter.
Browning's
cover-up was condoned by the shelter manger who said he's not
going to squeal because, "privacy is our hallmark here."

Terrorist teen!
by Brent Kellogg
Without a
doubt, teenager Mackenzie Browning has become nothing less than a dirty terrorist.
The snotty teen blamed her mother again Monday for being responsible for the 'bad' dreams
she's suddenly developed. The dreams depict an evil step-daddy making what are described
as come-ons to the then little girl and while no sexual contact ever took place, the
failure of Browning's mother to take corrective action all those years ago was reason
enough for the kid to run away from home.
Instead of bitching, Browning should be thanking her lucky stars. How many kids run a way
and discover they have filthy rich grandparents in whose mansions they get to live in with
all the frills?
For Browning to tell her gold spoon-fed boyfriend, "I should have never asked my mom
to stay here," clearly implied that her mother, Amanda Hunnicutt, remains a visitor
in Genoa City only at Browning's pleasure. If the brat snap her fingers, Hunnicutt will
have to be on the next train out of town.
Fully
terrorized by her daughter's imperialist demeanor, Hunnicutt has turned to total strangers
for help. Asking the homeless shelter manager if he too thinks she'll have another chance
to be with her daughter was shameful considering she had just cowered at Billy Abbott's
feet about the same thing.
Hunnicutt's
fawning has become nauseating. She needs to wake up and get out of the fog. She's
forgotten she's the adult and Browning is the child. Sit your spoiled brat down Mrs.
Hunnicutt. Tell her you didn't realize your skuzzy husband was a sleaze but that it
happened years ago, nothing physical happened and if little Miz Mac can't get over it, too
damn bad.

Teen terrorist strikes again!
by Brent Kellogg
How desperately I wanted to reach into this kid's throat and rip her guts out. Notice I
didn't say heart. This rotten teen terrorist doesn't have a heart.
Mackenzie Browning is her name. Terrorizing poor Amanda Hunnicutt is her game. And she was
at it again Tuesday at the homeless shelter.
Slithering around like a snake in a rut, Browning told shelter manager Ned Hollander that
she's now having nightmares about her step-daddy and has changed her mind about allowing
her mother to be in town. The gall of this obnoxious girl. How dare a mere child presume
to rule who comes and who goes?
Hollander, a slug in his own right, whipped out the wanted poster Ralph Hunnicutt had
splattered all over town and told Browning her mother doesn’t want Ralphie boy in her
life and that she’s sorry about what happened. Again, what a presumptive butt head!
This bozo needs to stop getting involved in the meaningless lives of his less than
credible clientele. They're homeless unemployed lower than dirt slimes!
Browning continues to push the envelope. Who in their right mind would tell a total
stranger about the sexually explicit nightmares they're having about their in-laws? Jesus!
Why not tell Hollander in descriptive detail what it was like having her first menstrual
cycle. It's downright gross!
As pointed out in other stories about this mother and daughter team, Amanda Hunnicutt is
only slightly beyond deserving of a good whack. Hey lady! Stop groveling.
For those who don't know, Browning liked Mr. Hunnicutt at first. He was a nice guy. Even
went to her soccer games. Why all kids in this state play soccer is one question but why
any girl would play soccer is another. According to Browning, she was around 13 when her
step-daddy began to change. Ralph noticed his little girl's chest was getting flatter and
this really turned him on. He came onto the little tyke a few times too many and because
her mother wouldn't believe she had become an object of sexual desire, ran away from home.
So what in hell is wrong with this kid? By running away she found her rich grandmother!
Now she lives in a mansion. Her every whim is catered to. She's trippin' with one of those
rich Abbott kids. Money is growing on trees. So what if her mother didn't listen to her
years ago? Life is a bowl of cherries now. Make up with your mother and stop been a
teenaged terrorist Ms. Browning. Your chariot awaits.

Dangerous terrorist
Without a doubt,
local teenager Mackenzie Browning is dangerous. One moments she's ordering her mother out
of town and the next moment she's giving Amanda Hunnicutt permission to stay.
Anybody with
the ability to turn off and on like this needs to be watched closely as there is no
telling what she might do next. Browning has ranted uncontrollably that her mother's
presence in Genoa City is responsible for the bad dreams she's been having about her evil
step-daddy but Wednesday seemed to have forgotten all about the dreams when she gave
Hunnicutt a hug and her blessing.
Browning made
one thing clear: Her mother can stay in the city until after the holidays. After that
there is no telling what Browning will do. She's taken every opportunity to brand her
mother the evil one responsible for her troubled life. The unmistakable contrast in this
theological tableau being that she is righteous and those who get in her way are
evildoers.
If Browning can
sit down at the peace table with her mother, open her thick head long enough and listen,
there is a slim chance she'll understand just what a difficult and fragile situation she's
created. The enemy is not her mother.
