Mass Murder (Epilogue)

Nicole was driving with her new identity of Jackie Davis in her wallet. She was driving to the airport, and was going to move to Ireland, since they didn't have an extradition treaty with the US (I was told this in an episode of Forensic Files about a guy named Oliver who murdered a friend of his with Propofol. I don't know when that case happened, so this could be completely dated for all I know) and had a pen pal over there who could supply her with a job.

When she was about to leave California, she heard the familiar sounds of police sirens, and saw the familiar red and blue lights of police cars. 'Shit! Are they on to me? OK, Nic…I mean Jackie, just be cool," Nicole thought to herself as she pulled over to the side of the road and stopped. The cop came out and eyed her suspiciously. "Hello mam, how are you today?" "Oh…I'm fine, officer. Just a little surprised that I was stopped is all," Nicole told the officer.

"Well, you were going very fast there. You were doing 75 in a 55 mile an hour zone. Also, we received an all points bulletin for a station wagon, which sounds a lot like the one you're driving right now," the officer told her matter of factly. "Well, why is the station wagon so important?" Nicole asked the officer, trying to not show how nervous she was. "There was a quadruple murder and arson at the Watterson home. The house burned to the ground, but not before the entire family was murdered. Their mother is missing, and witnesses saw her leave before the fire became a big deal. Let me ask you, what is your name?" the officer asked her after detailing what the police learned from the crime scene.

Nicole was now sweating bullets. She thought the giant fire would destroy everything. But, it appears that enough of the bodies survived to make it obvious they were murdered. "Uh…my name is… uh…Jackie Davis," Nicole said nervously while trying her best to give a normal smile at the officer, but failed as the smile looked more forced than anything. She looked back at the officer, who was running her fake license through their database, and she saw the officer's face frown. 'This is not good!' Nicole thought as she was so close to her own personal freedom.

Before the officer turned around, Nicole hit the gas pedal as hard as she could, and sped away. The officer noticed, and gave chase. Nicole then got on the highway, and tired to lose the officer, but he had apparently gotten backup, because there were now 4 more police cars following her. She took a sharp left turn, but, she hit another car, which caused hers to veer off the road. The police still followed her.

One of the officers in a police car took out his gun, and shot three times into the station wagon. Nicole got hit in the arm and in the back (nowhere dangerous, like the spine), but she still continued to drive in the woods. However, she started to lose consciousness due to her losing blood from her wounds. Nicole eventually lost control of the car, and hit a tree.

When the officers saw the crash, they all got out of their vehicles to see what happened. Nicole had hit her steering wheel head first, and her air bag suffocated her. Nicole Watterson was dead. The police found something that linked her to the whole thing; a single gas container in the backseat. Ordinarily, it wouldn't be all that suspicious, but there were some dark red spots on it. Tests confirmed it to be blood from Gumball and Anais. She was the killer, and she was being treated like one. She was buried in an unmarked grave, nobody visiting it.

The town, to this day, is still haunted by the heinous actions of one person.

Sorry f this isn't all that good, but I wanted to give this an official ending. It's what I owe to the people who actually liked this story. I planned on this being a multi chapter story but I have nothing for it. I did the same thing with my "Skin of his Teeth" story, which is similar to this, as it involves murder.
