Joel would do anything for his wife. He had never thought that would include killing people. Since that happened he would do anything to protect her from being caught. He cleaned up blood, found an efficient way to capture and kill people and contain them. He had even helped her bury a body. It sickened him to the core, but he loved her so much. She is his soul-mate after all. He had thought he was doing a good job until his neighbor Dan started to get weird. When he presented the finger to Joel he knew he was fucked, he just didn't know he would actually be fucked. "What do you want?" Asked Joel. He was desperate to make this go away. "I told you. I just want to be your friend." Joel was high, but there was no way he was high enough to buy what Dan was saying. "Your best friend" Dan added. He slid his hand over Joel's thigh and locked eyes with him. Joel gulped, but he was scared to move. Dan grinned, but it was one that scared Joel. "Okay." Joel said narrowing his eyes at Dan. Dan took his hand away and left. "We will talk more later." He calls before he is gone.
Joel just sat there for a minute. He didn't move until the warmth from Dan's hand was gone. He waited until Sheila came home to explain everything to her. "Wait… so Dan wants you to be his fuck buddy?" Joel covered his face with his hands and groaned "Can you please not say it like that?" Sheila pulls his hands away "You don't have to do this. I don't expect you to fuck him to keep me safe." Joel looks into Sheila's eyes. He had done so much for her already. He wasn't going to risk her being taken from him. "I'll do it… as long as you are okay with it." Shelia scoffs "Alive or undead… I will never be okay with you fucking someone else." "What am I supposed to do?" Shelia slumps "I don't want you to do this just because…" Joel stops her "Shelia… I love you. You've gotta know that I'd do anything for you. I've… I've killed for you. If I can't do this for you… to keep you safe until we figure out how to get out of this predicament… then what kind of husband am I?" Shelia looked at Joel defeated. She knew there was no way she was going to get him to change his mind. "I love you too." She said softly. Joel leaned in and pulled her to him.
The next day Dan stopped Joel outside his house. "Tonight… don't plan to be busy." That was it. Joel groaned at the thought of even being touched by that man. Shelia had told him every story Dan's wife had told her. It was mainly to prepare him. When Shelia joined him he filled her in on what Dan had said. Shelia sighed "I can do the showing alone… you don't have to do this." Joel locked eyes with his wife "I have to protect you. That is all this is to me." Shelia nods even though she hated the thought of Joel being with Dan.
The day was short which was not a good thing for Joel. It was time to meet up with Dan and Joel couldn't be slower to meet him. Eric was out with Abby and Lisa was at her spinning class. Joel knocked on the door to the house. Dan answered and invited him in. Dan was being oddly calm and wasn't intense the way he usually was. Joel was feeling more and more nervous and disgusted by what he was sure was going to happen.
