-1Blood Brothers

Prologue

Sneaking around the back of the mine was not the hard part. After he removed the mask from his bloodied face and grabbing the pick ax wasn't hard either. The hard part was about to come. Sitting down in a place where he knew they wouldn't find him, Tom Hanniger unzipped his jump suit and pulled out a wrinkled picture. He had had it for years, seven years to be exact. Stole it from someone that he had met at the hospital. Nice kid, had his whole life ahead of him. Wonder where he was now?

Stripping out of the red jumpsuit, Tom stuffed it into a broken crate not far from the entrance. Sarah and Axel couldn't see him from there, but he could see them. He almost had her all to himself and her...husband just had to go ruin it all. He looked back down at the picture in his hand, then back up at Sarah as she climbed into the back of the ambulance with Axel and took his hand. That bastard had had his dick in another woman for nights upon nights and Sarah was still willing to take him back. Tom prayed that Axel would bleed on the ride, his heart slowing until it stopped and he struggled to breath. Then she would see. She would see that Tom was just right for her.

It was later at night as when Tom finally left his home of the mine for the woods. Hidden among the trees with the axe and the lamp off a the helmet he had just taken off, Tom set thinking about his next move. He took a pocket knife out of the jeans he had been wearing all day and set Harry's pick axe on his lap. He began to carve names into the wooden handle. Irene, Megan, Axel. There were a few others added from Harry's reign as the murderer. No, not murderer, just someone out to take revenge against those who had done him wrong.

"They'll pay, won't they Harry?" Tom asked as he started to carve the last name into the handle. "We've spilt a lot of people's blood with this damn axe of yours, but it's all going to end tying up some loose ends of the past." He placed the axe in a tree that was behind him. There was a pile of wood shavings at his feet, along with the picture he had. He looked up at the axe handle one last time. "It'll be good to see you again and your big brother too." Tom laughed evilly as he shut off the helmet light and disappeared into the black night.

This is just the beginning. More to come. Please review!
