“Oh, you’re going to save the day now, huh?” She asks as she gets up from the dirty floor, blatantly acting like a gun isn’t pointed at her.
“Kate, don’t test me, I will not hesitate to end you.” I say and she wipes the blood from leaking down her lips, causing it to smear a bit.
“I will like to see you try, boo bear.” She says as she launches towards me.
...............
My hand pulls the trigger without my mind gives the permission, and for a brief second, everything goes quiet.
I’m looking at her as she searches her body to see whether she is hit, and to my surprise, she is not.
What the hell?
“Someone left their glasses home.” She mocks me
I couldn’t move, I did not want to.I wanted to be there with my friend. I wanted us to go home together and watch funny YouTube videos on my bed.I wanted it all to be a dream.But it was not, it was a living nightmare. .........“I saw it all happen.” She says, and I can hear the guilt in her voice.“You were there and you didn’t call for help or called the police?” I ask her, and I realize my voice sounds different.There is knot in my throat and my eyes are burning to release tears.“Quincy, I didn’t know, goodness.” My mother says.
“Has he handled something like this before?” I ask her and she stays quiet.“Mom..” I say, but she is still silent. “Mom!” I say much more louder, and this time I catch her attention.“Yes!” She yells back. “Yes, Quincy! He has! Now stop being a big cry baby and shut up about it!” .............Is she kidding me right now? Is she seriously calling me a cry baby?“A woman just died, and you’re calling me a baby!?” My voice is vicious and loud.“Or do you want us to hold hands and sing a lullaby?” I ask sarcastically.“I can’t be in the same room as you right now.” I say as I wa
I help him and in no time we remove the body and we carry it to the railing of the bridge.“On the count of one, two, three, go.” He says and as we swing the body, a foreign voice startles us.“Hey! What’s going on over there?” .........Crap, someone is here.We both turn towards the voice and we see a man trying to walk in a straight line, but failing miserably.I think he’s drunk, his speech seems laggy also.“I said what are you all doing over there?” He asks again as he closes the distance between us.It is dark, but the light from the light pole not far from us brings forth a bit of
He then says something again, but it’s indecipherable.He coughs lightly and says something once more, that this time leaves us all confused, and me worried.“Deadly Secrets Of The CEO.” Jimmy’s voice comes out clear as he smiles while sleeping...............“Did you all hear that?” I ask but no one replies. “You all heard that, right?” I ask louder this time.“Quincy, we did.” Daniel says rather calmly.What does Jimmy mean?“There’s a possibility that he’s mumbling about another CEO.” My mother says and Daniel snorts out a laugh.“Really, Jane?&rdquo
“Quincy Daniels, you are a dead man.” The words of the person shakes my core.I will not take this lightly.From experience, I dare not take this lightly.I should have known, I should have known that this would come right back to bite me in the behind.............“Dad...dad..” I say but he doesn’t let me speak.He’s rambling about how it’s unsafe to be out at this time, and so much more.“Dad...would you just listen to me?” I say to him and he finally cools his jets.“So what excuse have you concocted up for me this time?” He asks, but then he chuckles.
“I have been in the same position you are in right now.” He says and I tuck my lips in and listen to him keenly.“I am what people call a serial killer.” He rolls his eyes as he says this, as if it’s not a big deal.“I am wanted in South Africa for killing my first wife.” He says and I choke on my spit............This man is literally confessing that he’s a serial killer. Why am I still here listening to him?“Yeah, take it all in.” He says and I stand up and sigh loudly.“Now that you know my secret, I know you won’t tell a soul because I have a juicy secret of yours too.” He says with a sadistic smile.“
“Cool man. You’re dressed for the occasion.” He says as he hands me one of the company’s fancy pens.I try to arrange the paperwork, so they don’t look so carelessly placed on the desk.“What occasion?” I ask without looking at him. There’s so much paper.“Today is Iris Birthday.” He says..............“Really?” I ask.“Yeah, it is.” He smiles widely. “You know what I think?” He asks.“No, I actually don’t, but it would nice if you could help me with this paperwork.” I suggest to him and he chuckles.
“It’s quite funny.” He chuckles a bit and then holds my shoulder.“It was like I saw you and Daniel around where I live. You two were on the bridge dumping something that looked like a body.” He says and I gape.“Right? It’s really weird.” He says and then he holds his hips.............“That’s impossible.” I force out a laugh, causing Jimmy to look at me strangely.When it comes to lying, sometimes I do it well, but when I’m beyond nervous like now, I’m crap at doing it.“Is everything here okay, boys?” Iris asks as she steps out of the office. She has a key in her hand, and now she’s closing the door.
