Truth Behind Lies

Chapter 5: Bloody Thoughts

After Jez left I headed downstairs to the shop. Sid was the only person there. He was sitting behind the register looking bored enough to die, "Wha' cha doing here man? Where are your pales?"

"Tony got in trouble with his dad so he had to go home, Stacy had work, and Jay's mom isn't feeling good so he stayed home to help her," explained Sid.

"Well, I would tell you to go hang out with Jez… but that's not gonna happen now," Then I threw a rag at Sid, "But that doesn't mean you can sit in my chair!"

Sid immediately jumped out of my seat, "What are you talking about? Whose Jez?"

"Didn't Gino and Stanzak tell you why I left?" I pulled out a smoke.

"Nope,"

"My, ah, sister and her husband just passed away and my insane sister left her daughter to me," I looked up to see Sid's shocked expression, "What?"

"So this girl is your niece?"

"Yes,"

"You've never mentioned…"

"Well, as you can guess I didn't fit in with the rest of the family,"

"How old is she?"

"About 16. Same age as you guys,"

"Why did she leave?"

"Do you really think I know? She just up and left. If she's not back by dark I'll call the police," Skip looked at Sid, "Come on man start sweeping. The shop's a shit hole,"

As I walked through the streets of Dogtown I felt a little guilt. Maybe I should be nicer to my uncle. Then the memory of my parents deaths filled my mind. All thoughts of kindness and mercy left my mind. All that was left was a huge thirst for revenge.

Most girls my age were in extreme danger walking alone at night. But my mind was filled with thoughts of blood and payback. I wanted to kill the bastard who took my family from me. I wanted to watch as the lights left his eyes. I wanted his blood on my hands. Everyone left on the streets seemed to sense my bloodlust and stayed away. These people are not as dumb as they look.

You might be wondering how I knew where to start my search for the killer. It is quiet simple really. All underworld communities are the same. Start at the nearest Supernatural Bar.

The Bar in Dogtown went by the name of Dark Desires.
