Nica Pierce and Tiffany Valentine had been gone for a good amount of time before Junior Wheeler decided to check on them. He didn't particularly trust the sultry woman who had knocked on the door to their motel room and had kissed Nica. Junior felt a little responsible for Nica since she was a wanted fugitive for a bunch of murders she didn't commit including one Junior himself had committed. Junior didn't regret at all killing his father and there was a part of him that wondered what it would be like to kill again but he had promised to at least try not to be a killer. He promised to try to figure out what he wanted to be and not what his father and what Chucky wanted him to be. If that meant keeping Nica safe he would that.
Junior grabbed a knife from the small table that he had been eating the meetballs off of and went looking for Nica. She had said she was going for ice but had never returned. Junior paused momentarily when he heard a groan but then looked past a corner and saw Tiffany sitting on Nica's lap. At first he thought Tiffany was killing her when her head flew back and hit the wall behind her but then then he saw Tiffany's hand down Nica's pants.
Junior was embarrassed at what he walked in on. Of course he knew that two women could have sex. He had never really considered the particulars but he wasn't an idiot. He was about to head back to the motel room when he heard Nica moan again and then heard Tiffany whisper.
"I see you Nica." Junior wasn't sure if Tiffany knew how loud they were being or if she really cared, "I feel only you. Do you feel me?"
"Yes." Nica gasped.
Junior realized that he couldn't move from the spot where he was standing so he tried hard not to listen as his new friend was having sex. He tried to think of anything but the two of them together. At least they weren't naked. But then all Junior could think about was naked women and he was about to run away when he heard Nica grunt and then what sounded liked kissing.
"I would ask you to stay but I don't think Junior likes you too much."
"I'll grow on him." Tiffany giggled. "I grew on you."
"He's fragile right now Tiff. I don't want you playing with his head. He doesn't need another voice in there." Junior heard a sigh and wondered briefly why "besides Tiff you are a psychopath. You like killing. And we both know you will go back to Chucky eventually and I want to be no where near you when you do."
"I do like you better Nica."
"I didn't say we couldn't have some fun." Junior heard Tiffany cry out and turned back around to see that Nica had put her own hand into Tiffany's pants. "we just can't be anything more."
Junior decided it was more then time for him to get the hell out of dodge. He witnessed far more then he had any right to. Nica deserved her privacy and now that he knew she was safe he headed back to their motel room. Their food had gotten cold but be wasn't hungry anyway so he turned on the television. He switched through the channels until a news program about psycho killer Nica came on. He watched that for awhile but then switched it to one of the teen dramas that he used to watch with Lexy but could never remember the name of.
"Sorry it took so long." Nica said sheepishly as she entered their motel room. "Anything good on?"
"Apparently you killed a bunch of people in Hackensack New Jersey."
"Add it to the list."
"What is it now fifteen?"
"Something like that." Nica said simply.
Junior thought about letting it go but decided that if he really was going to be a new person then he needed to not keep secrets especially from Nica. "So did you two have sex out there?"
Junior was sure that if Nica could have jumped out of her chair she would would have. It took her a long moment to respond "We have a history. It's complicated."
"I'm not judging." Junior paused. "She could have stayed over. I don't mind."
Again Junior noticed the way Nica looked nervous, "Tiffany Valentine is a killer. A real killer. She likes it. It turns her on." Nica paused and Junior felt Nica look deep into his eyes, "whatever you did you did and no matter how much you liked it you are not her. Tiffany is a psychopath which means we can never really be together. But you Junior. You can still have a life if you don't let your anger define who you are."
"Is that why you took credit for the murders in Hackensack?"
"No one is ever going to believe the truth. No one ever has. I know that first hand. But if anyone actually looks too hard they might connect you to your father's murder. They already think I am a crazed killer so why not just add to the list." Nica paused. "But Junior, I will only do it this once. If you start killing again I will spin a yarn so tight around both of us that neither of us will ever get out of prison." Nica paused again and Junior felt Nica look deep into what was left of his soul. "Do we understand each other?"
Junior paused and thought about it for a long moment and realized how much this woman was sacrificing for him. She didn't have to take him in. She could have run on her own and she probably would have been safer doing that. And despite what she said she could have gone off with Tiffany and the two of them could have had fun together.
Junior smiled at his new friend, "I think we will like California."
