CHAPTER NINE

Amanda held her hand over her mouth; trying to control the urge to vomit. Her brother truly was a sick freak. The bloodied man sitting in front of her was enough to tell her that.

"You need to stop this Corey," Amanda cried. "What you're doing; it's sick and inhuman. How could you do this to another person?" she yelled as she pointed at Josh.

Corey grinned. "Oh come on, you didn't come here to scold me Mandy. You came here for an entirely different reason," he eyed the gun that Ash had thrown on his desk; the gun that his sister had brought with him. He knew that she had come to kill him.

"How could you?" Amanda sobbed. "He was everything to be me. You took him from me. You killed him," the tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Ah Peter. You know very well why he is gone," Corey paced back and forth between his desk and his sister. "Don't think his death only lies on the hands of me. You are just as much responsible," he said in a calm voice.

Amanda shook her head in disbelief. "It wasn't just Peter you killed. You killed me too Corey," she exclaimed. "The second you killed him; you killed me too," Amanda screamed at him.

Corey laughed loudly. "Oh, there she is; our drama queen Mandy," he smirked at her. But then his face turned cold. "I told you that there would be no fucking marriage between the two of you. I told you to get rid of him, but no; what do you do? You got fucking engaged to him. You brought his death upon yourself; not me, you fucking bitch," he sneered at her.

Corey watched as Amanda's eyes dried almost instantly. He noticed a coldness take over her features as she glanced at the gun on his desk.

"What is it that you want Mandy? Payback? Retribution for his death?" Corey asked as he picked up the gun and turned the barrel onto himself; handing it over to his sister. "Take it Mandy. Come on, shoot me," he grabbed her hand and forced the gun into her grasp.

Amanda shook her head; trying to get rid of all the thoughts that were traveling around inside her mind. She tried to gather the strength, so that she could do what he was telling her too. Could she kill her own brother? Could she let herself become a cold hearted killer like him?

"Pull the fucking trigger Mandy. Come on do it," Corey roared at her. "What, don't you have the nerve?" he grabbed Amanda's hand and pushed the barrel of the gun into his stomach.

Once again; Amanda let the tears start to fall. She closed her eyes and lowered her arm; dropping the gun to the floor. Crying; she gave way to the fact that she wasn't him. She could never be a killer; not even for him.

"That's what I thought; just like our mother," Corey smiled. "She couldn't do it either," he sneered.

"What?" Amanda sobbed as she looked at him; stunned.

"Oh, didn't I tell you? I killed her too," Corey exclaimed. "Yeah; I needed to get her out of the way. She was stopping me from taking charge and becoming head of the family, so she had to go. I gave her the chance to do me in first, but she couldn't pull the trigger either," he explained.

Amanda looked at her brother in disgust. "Mummy?" she wept. "You killed her?" she in a soft voice.

Corey ignored her cries and continued with what he was saying. "And here you are Mandy; unable to do it either," he smiled. "I take your fiancé's life and you still can't pull the fucking trigger. You're a waste of air," he trailed off.

And with that he pulled another gun out from his holster and pointed it at Amanda. He pulled the trigger. The bullet pierced upwards through her ribcage; popping a lung. Amanda stared straight into his eyes as the pain ripped through her body and a sudden death approached her. The only comforting thought she had as darkness Swept over her was the thought that she would now be with Peter forever.

Corey held her head as she slumped to the ground. He noticed that the life left her eyes even before she hit the ground. Corey stood up straight and slid his gun back into his holster. He then turned around and glanced at Josh. He was now struggling to breathe.

Corey groaned and removed his gun once again. Pulling at Josh's hair; he made Josh face him. "You're breathing too loud," he aimed the gun at the top of Josh's head and pointed it downwards.

Josh's eyes became large as he knew that death was about to take him. He knew that it was now his time. With a slight shrug, Corey pulled the trigger; sending one single bullet into Josh's brain. Corey turned his head away as blood spattered up towards him.

Looking down at his now blood spattered shirt; he swore. "Fuck it," he kicked the chair that Josh was sitting in and Josh fell to the floor in a heap. "Man, you can't even die without pissing me off," he said as he walked from the room.

Alf calmly walked into the room full with his and his granddaughters men. They all turned quiet when they noticed him approach.

"Is it time?" Charlie asked.

Alf nodded. "I can't wait for Jack any longer," he announced. "I don't want you rushing in there without preparing first. Stake out the place for a bit. Watch out for who comes and who goes. Once you've got it all sorted; then make your move," he explained.

"I'm taking my brothers, Kim and a couple of our other men, so who would you like me to take?" Charlie then asked Alf.

"Take Robbie and Ric with you. And I've already got two other men waiting out in the car; take them with you aswell," Alf ordered. "Keep me up to date on everything," he said as the men started to leave the room.

"I will," Charlie nodded. "I'll call as soon as something comes up," he promised.

When Charlie reached the door, Alf called to him one last time. "Do whatever it takes," he exclaimed.

"You have my word," and with that, Charlie left; leaving the old man on his own once again.

Corey whistled as he skipped down the stairs towards his office. He had a towel in his hand; using it to dry his hair. He walked into his office and made his way over to his desk; stepping over his sisters body to get there.

"What happened in here?" a voice came from the door.

Corey turned around and smiled at Ash. "Mandy won't be a problem anymore. It's just you and me from now on," he told Ash.

"You killed your sister?" Ash laughed.

"She was bugging me," Corey exclaimed with a shrug.

Ash leant down and grasped Amanda's face in his fingers. "Beautiful even in death," he stated. He then stood up and looked over at Josh. "I see you put that moron out of his misery too. I really wish you had of left something for me," he grinned.

"Your time will come; don't worry," Corey pulled on his jacket. "And believe me; it will be sweet," he laughed.

"The car's waiting out the front," Ash then told Corey.

Corey nodded. "Yeah, I think it's time we find our favorite couple".
