I lay there in silence, pretending to sleep as Alice watched over me like a hawk. Stupid woman… All alone. Makes my job easier. A grin spread across my face as I imagined how I'd finish her off. A snap of the neck would do the trick, but it was too quick for me. No… I wanted to see her lay in a pool of her own blood. Yes… That would do quite nicely.

When I realized she'd drifted off to sleep, I rose, glancing around for a potential weapon. She was sitting in the chair, slumped over, fast asleep… And not suspecting a ting. Now, if I could only find a… Hello… I zeroed in on a silver gun lying on the desk. Must have belonged to the other woman, the one who had left, taking the child with her.

As silently as possible, I stood and made my way to the dresser. I kept an eye on her as I checked the clip. Seven bullets… More than enough to take her and the others out easily. Cocking the gun, I stepped closer and aimed the barrel at her head. Point blank… There was no way I could miss.

She stirred lightly as I started to pull the trigger… Alice… The pistol kicked back only a bit as a single gunshot rang out through the little hotel room.
