Penance 14: Love is Insane
Two weeks later a family of four exited a car and headed towards a deserted park. This was where they always had their picnic. A husband and wife, a four-year old daughter, and a two-month old son.
Two hours later they were chatting and enjoying their picnic.
But near nightfall the parents discovered that their daughter was missing.
"Charles," Marie said worriedly.
"Wait here," Charles said and walked off to look for their son.
Suddenly there was a gunshot. Soon a terrified little girl came running forward crying.
"Callie!" Marie Stronghold cried, "and hugged her daughter, "what happened?" she asked fearfully.
"A bag was put on my head," Callie said crying, "Daddy's fighting the bag man."
"Oh God," Marie said and shepherded her children towards their SUV.
But when they got there the SUV was gone.
The mother stood with her children for several minutes panicking. There was no one around and her cell phone was in the car.
Suddenly a car drove up and a window went down.
"Is something wrong?" the occupant asked.
"There was a gunshot and I think someone shot my husband," Marie said tearfully.
"Okay," the occupant said slowly, "put the kids in the car and show me where your husband went," he instructed, "but first I'll call 911," he added.
After doing so he locked the kids in his car and followed Marie to where she saw her daughter running from.
"Is he dead?" Marie asked.
"I do my job thoroughly," the occupant from the car said seriously, "there's his body," he said showing her, "scream," he instructed.
Marie let out a scream that rivalled scream queen actresses.
By 9 pm the police was sorting everything out. It was determined that Mr. Charles Stronghold was murdered in the process of saving his daughter from a kidnapping. The suspect was a heavy set Caucasian male who was seen running through a squatter's yard half mile from where Mr. Stronghold's body was found. The footprints showed that the suspected murderer wore heavy worker boots and that was also described by the squatter as what the heavy set male was wearing on his feet. The witness said he was taller than 5'ft 4, wore a white shirt covered by a bullet proof vest, black pants, blonde hair that looked bleached, had brown stubble on his face, wore dark sunglasses, and a pistol was noticed sticking out the back of his pants.
Marie was allowed to carry her children home and the police department expressed its condolences.
After putting her children to bed she went up to the attic. Waiting for her was a teenager wearing a green wig, blue sunglasses, a floral baby doll, and white shoes.
"Was the SUV and the items in it enough to pay for your assignment?" Marie asked following the verbal code.
"Yes," the teen responded, "you swear to keep quiet about this transaction?"
"Yes I do," Marie responded, "I have what I wanted," she said, "the turtle's end is my new beginning."
"Good," the teenager said then climbed out a window and left.
It was almost midday the following morning when Sheen woke up.
"Hi," Libian said and handed him a cup of coffee.
Sheen nodded and took the coffee.
It had been a stressful night. He was still getting calls from the police after picking up that woman and her children. He was able to eliminate himself as a suspect but his loner nomadic lifestyle raised questions. He knew he couldn't move away for the next two months. He was going to wait for three. Then off to Cuba. He always to visit there again. He just liked it there. Then Russia, Aruba, and wherever else took his fancy. He wouldn't murder in Aruba though. It never took his fancy.
Libian picked up a purple wig and put it on.
"I'm wearing this one next time," Libian declared.
"You look great in all of them," Sheen responded.
Libian threw it away.
"My brother and sister are already living their perfect lives in Sweden," Libian said moving towards Sheen like a prowling cat, "I hope my happy ending comes with staying with…"
"I guarantee nothing," Sheen interrupted.
Libian giggled.
"And that's how I like it," Libian said with a crazed grin, "that's how I like it a lot," she added then pounced on Sheen.
Sheen grabbed her and they shared a passionate lip lock.
