Tortured Souls (Rebels of Sandland 2)

I heard the ping of a private message popping up at the bottom of my screen and I saw it was from Legion. Seeing as this Tommy guy was taking over the feed, I decided to click the chat open and see what Legion had to say.

Legion – I want to know.

LadyStoneheart23- Is Alan’s dating drama not doing it for you this morning?

Legion – If he thinks that’s a bad date he should have been in my house growing up. My mum’s dating history reads like a Stephen King novel. Pure fucking horror.

LadyStoneheart23 – That bad, huh?

Legion – I didn’t come with a complimentary bong, syringe, or a spoon to cook her shit up. I was a totally useless son. So yeah, it was that bad. Enough about my fucked up childhood, though. What’s happened?

LadySytoneheart23 – He broke into my house last night.

Legion – And?

LadyStoneheart23 – Isn’t that enough?

Legion – Did he hurt you?

LadyStoneheart23 – Not physically, no. But he was in my house. My fucking house, Legion. That’s another level of fucked up.

Legion – You need to wind it back for me. What’s the deal here?

LadyStoneheart23 – He murdered my brother and now he’s after me.

Legion – Yeah, I got that part from the last chat, but how did he murder him?

LadyStoneheart23 – My brother was a boxer. He was in a fight with him that turned nasty. He hit my brother, my brother stumbled, fell and cracked his head off the floor.

Legion – So I take it this was no boxing ring then?

LadyStoneheart23 – No. It was bare-knuckle boxing. I fucking hate it too.

Legion – Excuse me for being cruel here, but why is that guy to blame? Sounds to me like he hit your brother, your brother tripped, fell and the rest is mother nature or fate, whatever.

LadyStoneheart23 –You sound like the rest of my town.

Legion – I’m not trying to invalidate what you’re saying, just trying to paint a picture here. Why? What are the town saying?

LadyStoneheart23 – That it was an accident. The police too. Apparently, my brother had an undiagnosed brain aneurysm but I don’t care what they say. I don’t care about complications in surgery or mobile phone footage. It was murder.

Legion – What about the police reports? Statements?

LadyStoneheart23 – They’ve dropped the case. My brother’s so-called best friends all retracted their statements and I’m on my own.

Legion – Sounds harsh. I’m sorry to hear that. Sometimes being alone is better though. More clarity and less noise from other people. If you want revenge it’s easier to think and plan without every fucker in your ear.

LadyStoneheart23 – That’s what I thought. They don’t understand anyway.

Legion – I get it.

LadyStoneheart23 – I know, which is totally

insane since I don’t even know you. Anyway, I’ve added my brother’s best friend to my shit list.

Legion – Why?

LadyStoneheart23 – Because he’s a pussy and a coward.
