Deep Cut
Announcer: I don't own any of the Deuces wild Characters. This takes place just after Marco's death.
Hailey Vindeni sat on her couch watching TV. Her husband Marco hadn't come home in a while but she figured he would come home soon. Then she heard a knock on the door. She walked over and opened the door. She saw it was Jimmy Pockets. He had a tear in his eye.
"What's wrong Jimmy?" she asked a little afraid of the answer.
It took Jimmy a long time to answer, which made Hailey's fear double. She felt her stomach start to lurch and her teeth were clenched. She kept repeating over and over in her mind. Please don't let Marco be dead. Jimmy finally looked up.
"I'm sorry," his only answer.
Hailey dropped to the floor and started to cry. How could this happen? Jimmy walked out. Hailey sat on the floor and rocked back and forth. He was her whole world. And she was now lost. She walked into their bedroom. She saw his shirt sitting on the bed. His black wife beater. She grabbed it and held it tight. She fell asleep on the floor with the shirt still clutched in her shaking hands.
A week passed and it was the day of Marco's funeral. Funnily enough Leon had the balls to show up. He left when they lowered the casket into the ground but Hailey stayed. She watched as they covered it up with dirt and put the tombstone up. She dropped to her knees and stared at it blankly.
Marco Vindeni

Was a good husband
She traced the lettering with her fingers. It was dark. The only light came form the moon.
"Hey Marco. I miss you. A lot. Why did you have to go in that fight? You could be here still. And we could've moved away. Away from all this fighting. God I miss you."
She stopped because her tears muffled her voice. She walked home silently. She went into their room and looked under the bed. There was a gun. She grabbed it and started outside. She walked over to Leon's house. He answered the door.
"Hailey? I'm so sorry about Marco. I didn't mean to."
"You didn't mean to? You fought him and killed him! You had the intention of it the whole time you bastard! I hope you burn in hell for this!"
She pulled out her gun and shot him twice in the chest. She ran back to her house. She heard screams from Leon's ma. She closed her eyes tight and ran faster. When she got to her house she walked in the bathroom. She had blood all over her shirt. She started to cry. Now that she avenged Marco everything was straight. She walked into the kitchen. She grabbed a knife and both wrists. The blood started to flow onto the ground. After a little while her heart started to pound harder and her breath was shortening. She was loosing all over her blood. She was too weak to stand so she toppled over in the lake of her own blood. Her skin started to turn white.
"I love you Marco."
The police started to walk over to her house to question her about Leon's death. When they got there they saw the white carpet in the dining room was stained with red. They walked into the kitchen and found Hailey. Her body lifelessly drowning in blood. They turned her form her side to her back. Her body was freezing. Her eyes were red and puffy. She had obviously been crying before she died. They saw to deep slashes on her wrists and a knife not far away from the body. They called in the morgue.
The funeral was short. She was buried next to Marco. Her tombstone read:
