"Wasn't Random At All"
Beatrix, Angelina, Julita, and Janina were standing outside of the grocery store with Bobby, Jack, and Angel.
"When is your brother coming?" Beatrix said in a rough impatient tone.
"He'll be here, he's probably stuck in traffic" Angel said. Julita yawned.
"Jules, what time you went to bed?" Bea asked in a curious way.
"About 3 something..." She rubbed her eyes.
"3 something?! I told you to go to bed earlier cause we had to wake up early" Beatrix said.
"Oh please, I can handle this gosh! You act like such a mommy" Julita stood next to Jack.
"Yeah, whateva..." Beatrix glanced at Bobby while he stared across the street to another grocery store. She found Bobby weirdly attractive. Beatrix didn't know why, but she always seemed to have this weird feeling in her stomach when she was around him. Then a couple of minutes later, Jerry came. He got out the car and walked up to the them.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Jerry asked placing his keys in his pocket.
"Last night we found out it wasn't random, the witness was paid and the whole gang story was some bullshit" Angel said leaning on the car.
"Are you serious man? Come on now" Jerry took out his hands.
"Look, all we're going to do is see if the grocery store clerk knows anything that went down on that night-" Beatrix entered the conversation.
"And who is this?" Jerry asked in a polite way.
"Beatrix...my sister Angelina" She pointed to Angelina, "Julita..." She pointed to Julita, "And Janina..." Last she pointed to Janina.
"Okay, and how did you meet my brothers?"
"Well, we had an encounter last night. We were looking for the bastards who killed our dad in this store right here" Beatrix pointed to the grocery store behind them.
"Your dad died in there too?" Jerry asked in a shocked way.
"Yeah, around the time your mother died. Most likely, they'd be in the store at the same time..." Beatrix sighed. Then the store clerk came.
"Can I help you ladies and gentlemen?" He asked by the door.
"Yeah if we could have a moment of your time, sir" Jack said getting off the car and walking towards the clerk, "Evelyn Mercer was our mother and John Mourner was they're father" Jack said in a gentle voice. They all followed Jack towards the door.
"They were good people...I liked them very much...let's come inside" The clerk quickly opened the door.
In the Store
"There's dad..." Bea said in a low voice. John came inside of the store and shook hands with Evelyn.
"How do they know each other?" Julita asked in a suspcious way.
"...Yeah how do they know each other?" Bobby said glancing at Beatrix. They both went to the back of the store and hugged each other. Evelyn and John checked the turkeys. Then they saw two men in black coming into the store with guns. Evie and John ran behind the food and they both went quiet.
"This doesn't add up...he already got the money"
"He probably wants to kill them off so...so they won't report them to the police..." Beatrix's tears fell from her eyes. The gunman walked up to Evie and John and shot both of them. Jack cried and turned around. Julita walked over to Jack and hugged him. Angelina sighed and wipped her tears. Janina placed her shoulder on Angelina's. The store clerk turned off the tv and looked at them.
"I'm sorry about your parents, they were good people. They didn't have to die like that"
"Thank you...supposedly a witness told police this was a gang shooting--" Bobby finished off Bea's sentence.
"You know anything about that?" She asked.
"The police talked for a long time with one man. One man more then the others"
"Would you remember what he looks like if you seen him?" Angelina asked.
"Well...he comes in for Gatorade after the games--"
"Games? basketball games, by the court?" Jack asked.
"Yes, by the court. He's a uh big guy. He always wears sweats, never a jacket even if it snowed or rained. He has a dog a...uh, ya know--" Angel interupted.
"--A fro? Like a fro like Ben Wallace, the basketball player?" Angel said with his hands in his pocket.
"Pistons! Yes, yes, Ben Wallace"
"Okay..." Julita said nodding her head.
"He's on the courts a lot huh? On the courts or on the gym? Or both?" Angelina asked licking her lips.
"Both but today's Wednesday so he'd be at the gym most likely"
"Okay..." Bea glanced at Bobby. They all walked out of the store with a determined look on their face.
"That wasn't no gang shootin, that was an execution. They set ma up, they set her up!" Bobby said walking with fury in his eyes.
"They set dad up too, those fuckers" Bea said walking next to Bobby.
"Come on" They all ran across the street to the gym. There was a basketball game going on. They all walked in an looked around.
"You guys ready?"
"Did ya have to ask?" Angelina looked at Bobby with a dull exspression on her face.
"Uh, yeah"
"What's the plan Bobby?" Jerry asked.
"We're wingin it, Jerry" Bobby said in his italian voice.
"We're always winging it!"
"Wingin it? Why?!" Julita asked.
"Cause, we just are! Now come on--" Julita stopped Bobby.
"Hold up now! I think the women here should decide what's going to happen!"
"Let's not argue about this okay guys?" Janina asked.
"No! We're fuckin wingin it and that's final" Bobby said looking at the girls.
"We're gonna get killed" Jack blurted out.
"Whatcha mean "we", white boy?" Angel asked looking at Jack.
"HEY! I'm white asshole!" Beatrix yelled at Angel.
"You ready?" Bobby said hitting Angel's stomach. Then he walked out into the court.
"Here we go" Jack said mumbbling to himself.
"Excuse me!" Bobby said yelling to the people and raising his hand.
"I'll handle it. I don't know what you think your doing friend, but you better get the hell out of here" the referee He said holding the ball.
"I'd love to friend but I can't" Beatrix walked onto the court and stood next to Bobby.
"YEAH! I got the rock now! I got this motherfucker now! What?!What?!" Bobby said dribbling the ball. Then a basketball player walked up to Bobby.
"What bitch?!" He said walking towards Bobby. Then Bobby hit him with the basketball then all the players huddled on Bobby. Bea pulled out her gun and so did Bobby.
"WHOA WHOA WHOA! NO NEED TO GRAB ME! THIS WILL ONLY TAKE A SECOND!" Bobby said pointing the gun at the people, Beatrix rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Oh God..." Julita said under breath.
"I'm Bobby Mercer--"
"And I'm Beatrix Mourner and we're here to find out who killed our parents!" She cocked the gun. Bobby glanced at Bea and she smirked.
"And some of you probably knew my mother. And some of you probably knew she was shot across the street about a week ago. Sixty-two years old, murdered in cold blood!"
"Mines was 72!" Bea blurted out, Bobby glanced at her, "Sorry..." Jerry walked out to the court and so did Janina.
"Bea come on now.." Janina said to her sister.
"Janina, I got this"
"Think about it, Bobby, think. Think!" Bobby glanced at Jerry.
"I'm lookin for a witness!Ballplayer. Big guy. Supposedly never wears a coat" Bobby said towards the people.
"Maybe this will work-" Bea said to Bobby, "Dog lover. Ring any bells?" The Jack saw a boy get up and begin to walk towards the exit.
"Jules...come on" Jack pulled Julita and ran out the door to find the boy. They saw him, "HEY! HEY KID!" Jack ran towards him, "NO RUNNING IN THE HALLS!" Jack grabbed the kid and roughed him up a little bit. Julita stopped and sighed.
"Kid! You just gave me a fucking work out!" Julita wipped her forehead. Then Angel opened the door and walked in. Julita saw a guy with a guy outside pointing it at Jack.
