Veronica lowered her blouse enough show the bullet wound that had caused her death. David fired at it and she quickly reached behind her back. Moments later, her hand returned to the front of her body. Upon opening it, David found the bullet he had just used.
" Impossible."
" In death all things are possible."
" You're not real."
" Perhaps you're all dreaming and I'm the only one awake."
" Why only you?"
"Because life is but a dream on the way to death!"She leapt forward and grabbed his face by the temples and squeezed. Another painful flash came, but this time from David's point of view.
"Hey, Jack, Tom! He saw me."
"Well, how much did he see?"
"Dunno."
"Well, ask him."Veronica let go of him as if she had been scalded. She clutched his shirt collar and held a star to his throat.
"Where are they!?"
" Who!?"
"Jack and Tom!"
" I dunno, Look, if it's money you want, we got another sweet embezzlement deal going. Just don't kill me!"
"Give me one reason! Make it good, now, your girlfriends over there listening!"
"What did I do to you!!?"
"You took my love from me, and when you did that, you took all mercy within my soul." In the back of her head, She could hear David's voice.
"Don't do it, baby." Her heart ached. Alec would never forgive her, perhaps she would never find him if she did this. Her rage forced a clawed fist. She struck him, knocking him unconscious. Then as she turned, Laura screamed and ran out. The crow landed on the desk and cawed.
"Lead me to them." she said.
"Hey, Bitch, where are you goin'."The dark haired man named Tom, stood yelling at a woman trying to walk away. As he grabbed her and pushed her against the alley's back wall, a crow cawed and footsteps were heard.
"Hey, come on out. We won't hurt ya'."Jack said in a much-too-innocent tone. Veronica stepped out behind them and they turned to look at her.
"What the hell are you all dressed up for? Halloween ain't for another eight months."
"Where do you usually find people all dressed up and nowhere to go?"Veronica began to smirk.
"Don't know. Where?"
"A cemetery."She round-house kicked Tom,sending him sprawling out in the alley. He started to get up as the woman ran away.
" You're one dead bitch."
"Sorry, too late."He pulled his gun and shot her in the head. Veronica began to laugh as the wound healed immediately
"Impossible!"
"You know, David said the exact same thing, and he wasn't inclined to talk about my murder either."
"What did you do to him?" Jack said in a wavering tone.
"Oh. let's just say that he's having a few problems talking. Of course, that might have to do with the fact his jaw is in halves. It's a shame, too. I have to ask you now.
"Ask what?" Tom voice also began to grow weak.
"Why you slaughtered an innocent man!? Or don't you remember" She reached over and grasped his throat. After sending him the flash, all other thoughts left her mind, save one. Kill. Kill them all. It is the only way. Alec will understand. You have to do it. Her hand began to tighten of its own accord now. She let him go and grabbed his collar, instead.
" Why!?"
"We had to! He saw David counting the money. We couldn't leave any witnesses. Kathryn would murder us all! We had to kill you for the same reason!"
"What are you talking about?"
"You saw his body!!"
" I was blind! I had never seen my husband, even when we were being married. Now, I am beyond all handicap. Save yourselves. Tell me where your boss is."
"8th and Maple. A beauty parlor."
"Leave now, and I won't kill you." Jack rushed over and pulled Tom up and they ran out of the alleyway.
" Impossible."
