Chapter 1 : From the Windy City to the Red Desert
It was getting late when Marshall and Sid Holmes inconspicuously pulled into what their cell phone's GPS claimed was the last gas station before the next town. The two brothers were surrounded by red desert on all sides. Sid mumbled while fumbling with his phone, "This is a good a place as any. The town is in 30 miles. They have a shitty motel. Nice small place to set up. Just texted her to meet us at there."
"Where the fuck is she?" Marshall complained, "I managed to get all my shit together. She knew this was happening..."
Sid glanced menacingly at Marshall, silencing him. "You're shit is taking up half the trunk space. Let's do what we have to do. We need to ditch this car and get the fuck out of here."
"I'll go take care of any thing inside the station." Marshall volunteered.
Sid smacked Marshall viciously on the back of the head. "You will not you dumb fuck! There's no need! They won't notice."
"Aww, come on Sid I'm hungry and I ain't got no money but I have this hatchet."
An unassuming sedan pulled into the gas station. Sid got out of the car and pretended to be reading a map on the hood of his car. He motioned for Marshall to come hither as a woman in a nurse's uniform exited the vehicle to pay for gas. "She's the only one in that sedan. It's perfect. Go get your shit!"
Marshall walked over towards the trunk. As he opened the trunk the smell that immediately hit him would have turned his stomach inside out if he wasn't already accustomed to it. He pushed what remained of the car's former owner aside and pulled out a duffel bag, a suitcase and a Staples paper box with the bottom soak in blood. He looked down at the mess at that was now the car's owner and looked down at her with a look of almost sympathy but there was a twinkle in his eye that said more, maybe a psychopath's idea of love? Marshall bent down and kissed the corpse chastely on her closed eyes.
"Hey! What are you trying to do? You fucken stupid?" Sid broke Marshall's rage. He turned to see Sid behind him restraining the nurse with one hand muzzling her screams with another. "Get you dumb ass in the sedan!"
Marshall did as he was commanded. "Ok darling," Sid said as he licked the side of his next victims face to absorb her fear, "time to say goodbye. I've got some company in there for you."
Sid grasped her neck tightly with one hand. He squeezed so no sound could escape her terrified lungs and he kept squeezing until he heard a snap. Sid smiled to himself as he disposed of the nurse's corpse by entombing her with his last victim. As the lid of the truck slammed shut, Sid laughed at them, "Thanks for the rides!"
