Truth Behind Lies
Prologue: A Death in the Family
"Wear these shirts with pride," Skip said. Then the phone rang, "Damn it! Not now!"
Skip stormed over to the phone. He picked up, "Try again later asshole!" He slammed the phone down. He came back to the Zboys, "We got you guys some gifts. I don't know why…"
The boys and Peggy grabbed the boards and ran out into the street.
A few hours later…
Skip and co. were sitting around the shop drinking some beer when the phone rang again. Skip slammed his beer down and answered the phone, "What? What do you want?" Suddenly the look on Skip's face changed. He took his glasses off and leaned against the wall. None of Skip's buddies had ever seen this look on Skip's face… Sorrow.
"How did it happen?" he asked quietly. He swallowed, "Yeah, I'll be there," He hung up the phone silently.
"What's wrong Skipper?" Stanzak asked.
"It's Beth," Skip said. He sat down at the counter and put his head in his hands.
"Bethie? Your little sister. Is she alright?" asked Gino. For the first time in a long time he looked worried.
"She's dead," A deep silence filled the room. For the first time in years not a sound could be heard in the Zepher Surf Shop.
"What happened?"
"They were murdered. Her exact words were butchered,"
"What about Steve?"
"Dead too,"
"And the girls?"
"Lisa was killed too. But Jez was at the High School when it happened. She's the only one left…"
"The only what left?"
"The only person left in my family. The funeral is in 3 days. I'm gonna be gone for 5. Stanzak, you're in charge till I get back," Then Skip got up and left the store.
