One Night in Wal-Mart
Prologue
Brady couldn't believe his luck. Here he was 2 days before Christmas shopping to get his half and bitchy older sister something for her engagement to the man she had been practically throwing herself to for years. He couldn't blame the guy for eventually giving in but then again why he would want to marry the devil's daughter was beyond him. Brady was rounding the corner that led to the music selection when he something that piqued his curiosity. "Well, well, now what do we have here?" Brady said low and more directed to himself. But felt someone behind him. "Oh hey!" he said shocked. "What are you doing here?"
"I could be asking you the same thing, Brady. But I choose to ask my favorite older brother what is it that had certainly grabbed his attention before I walked up behind him? And why are you shopping at Wal-Mart of all places?" Belle asked with her curiosity lurking from all sides.
"Well, aren't we playing the nosy littler sister role today, Nothing has my attention I was just simply looking around and thinking of something I could get that thing , Marlena calls a daughter of hers for Christmas/Engagement gift. You know an all in one type of gift that's really cheap ('like she is', Brady thought)," he said. "But I should be asking why you are at such a store like Wal-Mart when you could be at better use at Salem Place shopping along sides your groupies Mimi and Chloe at Ballistix? Something here that is sparking your interest, lil' sis?" Brady asked turning the tables.
Belle turned red somewhat as she felt a little embarrassed for why she was here, "Well, I mean that was the problem. I did so much shopping for me that I don't really have a lot left to shop for friends. So I came here to buy something for a few people" Belle said looking up to read the ceiling as if there was something up there.
Brady laughed as he started looking at the ceiling too, "Well, that is interesting. I mean how all the tiles line up to form one big tile. Have you ever noticed that, Tink? It truly is amazing thing to watch. Now when you say a few people, what exactly do you mean?" Brady said smiling at his sisters fidgeting movements.
In a low voice she said, "Everybody."
This was too much, Brady was on the deep end about to burst out laughing, "What did you say?"
"EVERY F***ING BODY BRADY! You heard me. What are you doing?! Quit laughing! It's not my fault, I spent so much on myself at Ballisitx. They were having a freaking sale for god sakes! It wouldn't be right to just walk by and not try something's on." Belle said looking down, "Does that make me a bad person?"
Brady smiled after he was through laughing and said to Belle, "It doesn't make you a bad person if your shop-a-holic Belle, okay? Now lets get shopping!" Brady said as Belle gave a nod in agreement and walked off. Brady turned his attention back to the person who had it before the interruption and made the journey to where that person.

Philip, Shawn, and Jason walked into Wal-Mart after a rousing game of inside basketball in the school's gymnasium. They were shocked to say the least to notice how unbelievably un-crowded the store had been. Here it was, 2 days before a major holiday and it looked like a ghost town inside the popular store.
"So, why are we here Shawn?" Philip asked as to why his friend would bring into such a store at this time of the hour. Especially since there was a loose killer out in Salem somewhere.
"Look, I forgot to get a few people something's and I just needed to stop by here and pick them, okay? Enough with the questions?" Shawn said a little bit frustrated as to why he waited so long to go shopping for his perfect girl. 'She's probably already through with her shopping. She probably was finished in October!' he thought combing his fingers through his hair and ruffling it up somewhat as to what he should get her.
Philip and Jason shared looks as to what had their friend in such a loop. But the two shrugged it off as they stepped into the music section of the store. Unnoticed by each party, the group of boys didn't notice Brady nor the person he had been staring at. They just walked over to the headphones as they began scanning music so that they'll play into the headphones they had covering up their ears.
Shawn started listening trying to find the appropriate CD that would go perfect with her other gifts. He got 5 minutes into listening when he thought, 'This isn't going to be easy….'

Jan walked into Wal-Mart cursing herself for not remembering to pick her prescription. Holding her stomach as she walked to the back of the store where the Pharmacy was. Not too long after she stepped had came Mimi rushing into the store for the same purposes except she was picking something up for her sick brother, Conner. Mimi bumped right past Jan not caring to stop and help her up or apologize.
"Geez, what a warm greeting, Lockhart" Jan hissed.
Mimi, who had already been in a bad mood turned her frustration onto Jan, which inevitably led to huge sparring among the two. Which escalated into a large argument and Jan was just about to slap Mimi when Belle stepped onto the scene.
"What's going on with you two?" she questioned.
Mimi whipped her head around and snapped at Belle. "Mind your business Belle. No one called you over so if you don't mind, butt out!" Mimi said angrily.
Belle wasn't in the mood for it either and ended up snapping on both of them. The argument that had been a party of two became a party for three. A shouting match at who could be the loudest even began to take place.
As a Wal-Mart representative came over the loud speaker and announced, "Due to the winter storm advisory we will be shutting the store early. The loose killer has been reported as to been seen in this area and we are closing down the store. You have exactly less than 5 minutes to leave the building before the automatic locking of doors occurs. Please leave in an orderly fashion and thank you for shopping!" then he even ran out the store in a hurry.
Unheard by the teens, even Brady was too wrapped up to have heard the announcement. When all of a sudden, all the lights went out and the store went quiet.
"What the hell" all said in unison. As the CD's stopped playing, the girls stopped arguing and everyone looked up to the ceilings like Belle and Brady had once did so earlier as if reading it. It really was interesting to stare at in the dark, when there wasn't much as you could see.
*********
The killer had already snuck into the store and was getting in preparation for his plans for the group of teens. He had been waiting forever to get them all together again like that. Now they were here in this large store for the picking. "Now I can finally have my revenge" he said as he walked off to make sure nothing went wrong and to go get in disguise. Looking at his costume he said, "Sure, I like to see them smile…..Or least I'll be smiling as I kill them off one by one." Walking off with the Ronald McDonald costume he tripped over a hoola-hoop in the kids department and said, "Damn kids!"
