Oh shit, what have I done?
I look at the lifeless cat, lying at my feet, and I feel a mix of repulsion and adrenaline overcome me.
I feel that I can't breathe.
I run inside my house and close the door, and fall to the floor.
What have I done?
I don't know why I did what I have just done.
curiosity, maybe?
I know many killer's harmed animal's before they moved on to human's.
Maybe I wanted to see what it felt like to take a life.
To see something afraid of you.
To see the life go out of something.
To have power over something.
Oh shit.
I feel the overpowering need to vomit, and I throw up on the floor.
I run to the bathroom, and wash my face in cold water.
I'm sweating.
I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the bathroom mirror. I look away.
I can't bear to look at myself. I don't know if I ever will again.
I vomit, violently, again.
I know that I won't sleep. Not after tonight.
Not after what I did.
I walk back to my bedroom, feeling like my legs will give way under me, and i put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.
I clean up the vomit from earlier, and then I go outside, and with tears in my eyes, I bury the cat in the garden, and then I head back into the house.
I feel like I am the worst person in the world.
Vic Mackey always thought of me as an arrogant dick, who thought that I was better than everyone else. If only he could see me now.
He'd see that, in reality, I am no better than him.
We both killed in cold blood.
Only he denies doing that, but people know. I can't deny what I did.
I am a killer.
How can I go to work and put away killers, when I am one myself?
I go back to the bathroom, and catch another look at myself in the mirror; only this time I really look at myself
Am I headed on the slippery slope of becoming a serial killer?
What if I want to kill again?
I open the bathroom cabinet, and find a bottle of asprin in there.
I take out the bottle, walk into the kitchen and find a bottle of whiskey on the sideboard.
I am about to open the asprin and take the pill's washed down with the whiskey when my cell phone ring's.
I contemplate not answering, but I can see "Claudette" flashing on the screen.
And the thought of my partner finding my body bring's me to my senses.
I take the call.
She tell's me that we are needed at a murder scene.
I look at the clock and realize that it's 6.30 am .
I tell her that I will be right there and end the call.
I still feel guilty and worried about what I did, but I will have to find my own way to come to terms with that.
Find my own way of redemption.
But I will not kill again. If I ever feel the urge to kill again, I will kill myself.
This is my secret to take to my grave.
