"What are you planning on doing?"
"What I should have done a long time ago, put that bitch in her place once and for all."
The boys followed me out of the hospital. We got into our separate cars and drove to Reid's house. I lead the way speeding through the streets not caring whether I saw a police officer or not. I did hope there were none around. I needed the help of the boys and we needed to make a plan once and for all, to get rid of my mother. I drove up to his house and parked in the parking lot. The five of us walked inside. We all sat around the table in silence. Reid had filled the boys in on what happened to Sarah.
"I have a plan."
The boys looked at me curiously.
"We fake it make Marie think she's won and when she least expects it we take everything from under her."
"That's a great plan and all, but how are you planning to pull through with it?"
"Well Tyler that is where you come in. I need you to speak with the lawyer get him in on it show him the evidence and make him believe my mother is senile."
"Alright that's no problem I'll go call him now."
"That's covered what's next?"
"Reid I need you to convince her that you are on her side. Tell her you finally got it through my head and that I have given up the fight that I am signing the papers as we speak."
"What if she hits on me again."
"Do what ever you have to do to get her to listen and believe that you are totally. Make her believe you want her as much as she wants you. I trust you."
"Pogue I need you to make copies of the papers that my mother wants us to sign."
"Caleb you will go in first and sign the fake papers. Drink a scotch while you're at it and don't make her suspicious that you know that it was her who killed Sarah."
He nodded his head, but I knew he was mad and just wanted to kill the woman.
"I will go in after and catch her with Reid. She'll make me believe that you two are together and I'll freak out and tell her she won. Everyone break and meet at my mother's house in an hour. Reid you better go now."
He nodded his head; he kissed me on the forehead and was off.
"Good luck everyone. Let's hope this works."
An hour later I was standing in front of my mother's house. Caleb had just gone inside I was giving him fifteen minutes before I walked in after him. Everything was so far so good. Reid had given me the thumbs up as Marie was distracted with my brother. The bitch deserved everything that was coming to her. It was now or never and it was time to put her in her place. I walked into the house with the papers in hand.
"Mother!"
"Oh what a blessed day! Have you come too, to sign the papers?"
"You win; I can't take the pain anymore. You have torn this family to shreds. Look at Caleb he doesn't even look like a human being any more. You took everything I wanted away from me. I want to be done with you, done with this town forever."
"That sounds sad darling, I never meant to harm you."
"Bull shit mother, in every way possible you have been scheming behind my back through my whole life. I bet after you sent me away things at home became even wore. Is that when you started sleeping with the pool boy?"
"You have no proof of that. You can say all you want, just sign the damn papers!"
"What if I don't?"
She shoved her hand into her pocket and pulled out a gun.
"I said sign the papers!"
I stood completely still; this wasn't part of the plan. When had she gotten a gun?
"Now mother don't do anything you will regret."
"What is it that I will regret Caleb once she signs the papers I will be rid of the both of you once and for all!"
"See what did I tell you Caleb, all she was going to do was kick us to the curve once she had our share of the will."
"You see darling I'm not going to kick you to the curve I was actually thinking of killing you here and letting Tom take care of the consequences. I can always say he went on a crazy rampage and I shot him in self defence. My poor babies dead by a crazy pool boy."
"That won't go anywhere and you know it."
"And why not I have the papers and I still have your man Carol. "
"No he doesn't, he loves me."
"Oh really, then why did he just confess to loving me?"
"Did you really do that? Did you tell this slut you loved her?"
"Carol, it's not what it seems."
A tear strolled down my cheek. It was all a game, but it was really beginning to affect me. My mother saw the tear and smirked devilishly in my direction.
"Tell her Reid, tell her how we made love and that you screamed for more all night long."
The tears were now flowing freely. I saw that through Reid's eyes that she was lying, but it hurt to hear.
"That is enough you selfish bitch, you killed Sarah. Do you know that the crash caused her to be brain dead?"
"It was for your own good Caleb imagine if you actually married her, her status was no where on your level."
"STOP THIS!" I yelled
"I hate you; you stole my family, my best friend, and my boyfriend all in a couple of days. What else do you want huh me? Take me do what you want with me. I'm nothing anymore. I have nothing to live for do it kill me!"
She pointed the gun in my direction; she pulled back the safety and had her finger dangling on the trigger. I closed my eyes waiting for the bullet I heard the gun go off, but felt nothing. I opened my eyes and found Reid lying in front of me with a bullet in his right arm.
"REID!"
I fell to the floor and held him with everything I had. There was another gun shot. I looked up, everything had happened so fast. Tom the pool boy had the gun in his hand pointed at the now bleeding body of Marie. He had come in out of no where, stole the gun from my mother and shot her without hesitation. My brother walked over to check her pulse.
"She's dead."
