chapter 2: What happens next
Farra and her daughters walked into their apartment, she still couldnt believe the news. Thinking back on all that happened today she was glad she was finally home to spend an evening with her family.
" Were home darling", Farra called to her husband.
Teir was no answer, Which was strange since he always got home from the humane society around the time she picks their kids up from work.
...She suddenly realized why he wasnt here, he always goes to the store around this time. her heart sank remembering the bull dosers, and again remembering the gruesome scene that played in her head and haunted her dreams that day. She told the kids to stay here and lock the door then raced to her car, opened the door, reved up the engine and flew down the street as fast as she could twoards the store.
" Im wrong, im racing down there for no reason hes alright. Hes not inside, the wrecking crew would have seen him go in and stopped him", she mumbled under her breath. She failed to convince herself and, continued to race down the streets.
She reached the store to find the front door close up tight and the bulldozer ready and roaring. Her husbands car was nowhere in sight. Still she climbed over the do not cross tape and ran to the window to check if he was inside.
"Hey you cant be here lady this store is under consruction", a voice from nowhere yelled.
She whent up to the window ignoring the warning and searched the store. She soon saw her husband inside, he looked weak and was limping twoards the window. His eyes were filled with fear like they were in her night mare earlier that day. A hand grabed her shouder, and spun her around. she was face to face with a large man in a hard hat jeans and a dirt covered shirt.
"didnt you hear me i said you cant be here its dangerous were going to knock down this building in a couple of minutes",the man said.
"But my husband is in there", She screamed in a horrified voice.
"Nonsense theirs no one in there we searched the store before we locked up",he reasoned.
The man started to pull her from the scene but she sternly protested , and screamed"no stop, my husbands in there", she looked through the window to see if her husband was in sight. He was hidden by the shadows from anyone who wasnt looking hard enough. He was struggling to get out of the store with every ounce of strength he had left. He looked as if he was running from something or someone.
"madame please their is no one in the store and we really got to get you away from the destruction site", the man insisted.
She soon saw who her husband was running from. It was the boy that Shot fear into everyones thoughts, the killer that always seems to be on everyones minds and in everyones conversation. It was none other than little slugger. Little slugger was going to kill her husband, but why. What was his emotional outbreak, what was the problem that made little slugger interested in killing him. With the man pulling her away from the store. She only saw little slugger bring his bat over his head . As he did she realized what was going to happen next. She let out a blood curdeling scream, and tears started streaming from her eyes. This caused the man to stop his pulling. He looked back at the scene in the store and reached in his pocked and got a ring of keys. He started fussing with them and tried to unlock the door.
The scream also made little sluggar look up and he saw farra staring at him bawling and shaking with fear. He looked in her eyes and just smiled. His crazed grin inprinted itself in her mind it was a horrible image. His eyes wide and his lips curled showing his grimey teeth, his bat rusted, bent and caked in dried blood hovered over her husband, who was now weakened and briused by the sluggers bat, he was cut up and covered in blood.
Little sluggar raised his hat to Farra and swung his bat at her husband, bashing his face in and ending his life. Leaving Farra a single mother with no job and leaving two girls without a father. as he fell to the floor cold and lifeless Farra let out another screach,"nooooo! why! why him!" she cried. With that little slugger dropped something on the floor and rolled away.
About five minutes later the man found the right key and unlocked the door. Farra was sitting against the wall with her face in her lap crying her eyes out. The man tapped her shoulder and lead her into the body. She knelt down and looked in her husbands eyes and gave him a hug not accepting the fact that he was gone from this life and never coming back. Something flashed in the darkness that caught her eye. It was the answering machine, she crossed the room and checked who called earlier. sadly she pressed the button, to see it was her husband was the one that called, on his car phone,"hey honey, kids, im coming over to the store i guess ill open since your not there yet. Im going to park in the back so theirs more room for customers to park infront. see you soon. I love you", Hearing the message her husband sent earlier made her burst into tears, to think she could have saved his life if she answered the phone.
Then she decided to go look to see what little slugger had dropped. It was a brown envelope filled with bills for electric and water that weren't for their house and expensive things that she never seen. their was a list of phone numbers and a birth certificate, a drivers license with his picture on it but not his name. Her loving husband that cared for them so much, that supported their kids in everything they did, had a second life. She couldnt believe it, she was furious to think she cared for him. She worried about his safety, and he has another life. She was sad for her husbands death, angry at him for liying to her and her kids, and glad that he got what he deserved.
"That bastard he got what was coming to him, i must remember to thank little slugger for killing the man that lied to me for twenty years, then remember to kill him for killing the man i loved.", she mumbled as the ambulance pulled up and the body was put on a stretcher she stood in the middle of the store staring at the entrance way for about thirty minutes.
"Madame we need to get on with nocking down the store if you could come out here and stand a distasnce back from the building", the man said.
A tear rolled down her cheek and she walked outside turned twoard the store and just stared at the scene infront of her. As the bulldozer started crashing down the stores front wall she just stood there not making a move, and not blinking once. As the store turned to rubble before her she could only think of one thing how was she going to tell her kids that their fathers dead he had a second life and she now was without a job all in one day. After the store was nothing but a pile of rock and dust, she started heading home in silence.
