"Why did you not tell me this sooner?" Greg backed away from his furious wife, arms raised in surrender. She had stopped crying ten minutes before, and was now angry. "We would have been out of the state by now, out of the country! Why did you not tell me?" Greg debated whether or not to answer.
"I was worried for you, and the baby." Zoe raised an eyebrow, so Greg decided to take another route, "look, we don't even know if it is a case of mistaken identity. The woman we found may be the one this person is after. I am just worried about you, ok? I see death and destruction around me all the time, and this was just a little too close to home for me." Zoe looked away and nodded slowly. Greg held out his arms and she rushed towards him, hugging him tight.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too."
He was angry.
Very angry.
Yet again had got the wrong girl, and he had been so very careful this time. He had made sure it was somewhere where she always was, and he had touched her. Felt her skin under his hands.
And yet it was still the wrong girl.
"I'm such an idiot!" He smashed the window, glass scattering across the floor. He looked at his hands. Barely scratched.
This pleased him no end.
"Not an idiot, sir, never," the rat was pleading some more was he? Trying to get on master's good side, more money sir, more money…
"SHUT UP YOU ANIMAL!" He screamed, swiping at the rat who scuttled away back into the darkness.
He was going to get her. He was going to get her and make her suffer, like she did to him all those years ago.
And he couldn't wait.
Twas short, yes, but it was also interesting to write. I wanted to get a taste of writing the murderer, but by not giving too much away. The story is now beginning to form in my head, and it's sort of making the stupid summary I wrote relevant to this story. I'm amazed no one's complained about it yet…
Thanks to all who have reviewed and alerted this story. It's nice to know my stuff is being read, and especially to softballgirl05. You are amazing!
