Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 78 Stored
She stopped by the convenience store to get a candy bar and a bag of potato chips. She had really stopped by to see Louise. Now that she had selected her, she wanted to savor the feeling of power that came with killing. Having the power of life or death over someone was like being God only without having to listen to a bunch of stupid prayers.
"You ever worry about working here? Convenience stores can be dangerous."
Louise smiled and shook her head.
"It's Charming. It's a safe city. You know that."
"I do."
The reason Charming was a safe city was because the bodies were dumped outside the city limits. No one ever looked at where the killing was actually done. Stupid cops.
It really wasn't hard to outwit the cops when the police department was headed by bumbling, drunk Unser. As for Hale, he wasn't nearly as smart as he thought. The county cops were even less competent, which seemed almost impossible.
She paid for her purchases and shoved the change into a pocket of her jeans.
"Don't work too hard," she said with a smile.
"I've got a paper I have to write for history."
"It's summer."
"I'm taking a summer class at Charming JC."
"Good for you," she said.
For a few moments, she thought about Louise spending some of her last precious time alive writing a paper for a class that she would never finish.
It was almost sad. Not sad enough to change her plans for Louise's death. This murder was on Jax. He shouldn't have left town with the blonde whore.
The only thing she needed to decide was whether she would kill Louise tonight or tomorrow.
