Part 18.
Skinn just smiled at Maria. He looked calm, cool, and collected, as if he knew that she was going to do that. Michael wanted to go out and help Maria, but Alex, Kyle and Max held him in his place.
"So, finally you stand up to me. It took you long enough," Skinn said and smiled at Maria. She was almost shaking but she knew that if she shook she would never kill him. She couldn't let herself have feelings now.
"Skinn you took my mind and body when I was down and turned it into someone I'm not," Maria said evenly.
"Well I had fun doing it," Skinn smirked.
"And now you're going to pay," Maria said, loading the gun.
"You don't have the guts," Skinn said. He was beginning to get scared. He thought Maria might really pull the trigger.
"Oh yes I do," Maria said and aimed for his chest.
That was it. Michael broke free from the hold the other guys had on him. He rose and walked towards Maria and Skinn.
"Maria, put the gun down," Michael said and reached for her.
"Michael, what the hell are you doing here?!" Maria yelled to him angrily.
"So, you are the famous Michael?" Skinn asked, smiling.
"Shut up, Skinn," Maria yelled at him.
"Have you told them what you did when you were with me, or shall I tell them?" Skinn asked her.
"If you do I will kill you," Maria answered.
"What? Can't I tell them that you were a great lay and a fantastic partner in crime?" Skinn asked and laughed. Michael froze at the words "a great lay". Maria slept with this guy. Michael was now boiling with anger.
"See you around Skinn" Maria said and smiled at Skinn. Liz got really scared at those words. She rose from the hiding place and walked towards Maria with the others trailing cautiously behind her.
"Maria, put the gun down," Liz pleaded with Maria.
"I'm sorry Liz, but I have to finish this," Maria answered apologetically.
"Maria, please, don't do this! I will take care of him, put him in jail, and you won't ever see him again!" the Sheriff told Maria.
"Sheriff, this is my problem, not yours, so please leave," Maria said to him.
"No, Maria, we all are in it, not just you!" Alex replied angrily. How could she not think of the rest of them?
"No, this is about me and my life!" Maria yelled at them. She wasn't looking as Skinn drew his gun and aimed it right at her.
"MARIA!" someone yelled. A split second later a gun went off, leaving everyone frozen on the ground.
