Snooping where one isn't invited is very bad!
The 110 degree Texas heat did little to hinder the investigation of the missing youths on the Firefly property. Deputy Miller and Dave Knowles were searching the property for any clues for the missing teens. They had no warrant, and they both knew it was dangerous territory for them to be in. Dave especially. He knew, that by rights, the Firefly's could technically shoot him for just appearing on their property if they chose to do so. The reasoning could be "invasion and trespassing on private property" despite the warning signs. Luckily for both men, the family was not home. Save for one. Sydney. The girl was inside eating cheerios and watching some stupid program on television. She did not hear the men come onto the property. Dave and Miller were searching the property for any signs of the teens. So far they were coming up empty. "lets comb over this area again Dave. Just to be sure." Miller suggested. Dave agreed. He had second thoughts of going alone now. He was glad he had asked the deputy to join him. With police there, that instantly overrode any 'law' against trespassing on one's property.
They passed by a shed and heard some rumbling from the inside. Miller opened the door and was greeted by a snarling full grown german shepard. The dog was tethered to a stake in the ground food and water lay nearby within easy acsess for the dog. Miller pulled out his gun on instinct and leveled it at the animal before realizing it was chained. He shut the door hoping it would quiet the angry dog, but it did no good. The dog's barking had gotten the attention of Sydney. A barking dog meant someone was on the property. Sure, the dog barked whenever someone from the family came home, but it was a different bark. This bark sounded menacing. Promise of bodily harm and possible death lingered behind the bark.
Sydney grabbed her gun on impulse. She went outside cursing the heat.
Meanwhile, both men came up to yet another storage unit. This one was slightly ajar. Miller opened it slowly, his gun drawn just in case another vicious animal hid inside. What he saw would stay with him for what remained of his life.
The corpse of Mary Knowles was hung by her wrists, she was naked. Her belly sliced open, and her intestines removed. There was dried semen near her vagina indicating the girl had been raped before being killed and gutted. Her breasts were both sliced off and her fingernails had been removed as well. Multiple stab wounds covered her body but it looked as if someone had sewn them shut. Dave put his hands to his mouth to keep from screaming or to keep his lunch from making a hasty retreat via his mouth. Miller had decided to let his lunch loose right then and there.
They did not hear Sydney come behind them, her gun drawn. "Hold it fuckers. You know, you all is tresspassin' y'all should have stayed away. You would have lived longer." She said in a chilling voice. She then giggled. Dave stared at the girl in shock. "Y-you did this?!" he asked. His voice sounding like accusation more than a question. Sydney shook her head. "Nah, my brother and sister did that. My sister killed her and my brother fucked her afterwards." She had said this with such a normal voice. It was as if it was an everyday thing people did.
"Ill fucking kill you!" Dave snarled grabbing a stunned Miller's gun from its holster. Sydney shot Miller right in his head killing him instantly. Then she turned the gun on a stunned Dave. "Kill me? Are you fucking serious? Boy, I've been fucking stabbed, beaten, shot at. And ive got the gun. How the fuck are you gonna kill me?" Dave stared stunned. This young girl…just shot an officer, admitted to him, that her brother and sister killed Mary Knowles, and now had the gun pointed directly at him. Dave knew he was going to die. He remained on the ground. "You can go straight to hell girl. That's where you belong." Dave spat out.
Sydney chuckled. What makes you think, im not visiting from there? But before you go…tell em' I said hi. And Sydney sent ya." Sydney gave a short evil laugh. As my brother told another guy unfortunate enough to cross us, "I am the devil, and im here to do the devil's work." Dave stared confused, but had no time to process it because soon after 'BLAM!' a shot to his head ended his life in a bloody spray against the wall of the shed. This was the first time Sydney ever killed anybody. And it felt great. Her family, especially Otis would be proud of what she had done. Now all she had to do was wait for Tiny and ask him to bury the bodies.
Sydney very calmly went back inside to watch what remained of her show. She was just starting to doze off when someone ran in the door. It was Baby and she was in a panic. She quickly embraced her sister and looked around.
"Syd, we gotta go now! We can't stay here no more. Grab whatever shit we need and we are heading to the Khaliki Motel."
Sydney wasted no time. She grabbed some money, food, and fresh clothes and met her sister outside.
"What the hell is going on Baby?" Sydney asked. Baby glanced at her sister. "A whole fucking patrol of cops is heading this way. Mama, Daddy, Rufus, and Tiny are elsewhere. Just you, me, and Otis are heading to the Khaliki Motel. Well call them when we get there." Baby said as she began to calm down after driving for a while.
Sydney sighed. At least the rest of the family was ok. Baby had assured her as well, that Daddy's brother had taken care of the family dog until things calmed down.
They drove on into the night, finally pulling over on the side of the road underneath an abandoned bridge to sleep for the night. Both girls snuggled together and didn't wake until the next morning upon hearing a wrap wrap wrapping at their window. Both girls woke and saw two dirty, biker type men smiling at them. "well, well, well, Rondo, what do we have here?" the one known as Snapper asked with a wicked grin.
Coming soon: what will Rondo and Snapper do? Are they friend or foe?
