Captivated

“You fucking bastard get out of my house. You think you’ve won, but you haven’t you never will. You and your criminal family. Your sister really thought I’d marry someone like her? What a joke.” Each word was his fucking death knell, but my finger didn’t go anywhere near the trigger.

I know very well the sounds of a desperate man who knows he’s going down and tries to bring you down with him. I felt scarily calm all of a sudden, calm, and detached like I wasn’t even here. I pretty much knew all I wanted to know before I even came here.

“As for me not winning, how do you figure? Your company is on its last leg; your parents won’t be able to bail you out this time because I wiped them out first. Oh, I see, they haven’t told their golden child that little bit of news yet.”

He tried coming at me, but a swift kick to the head soon changed his mind. I didn’t even have to get up from my chair to do that shit. “What did you do to my parents?”

“Nothing much, it’s like I said, I cleaned them out completely. There’s barely enough left for next month’s groceries.”

“Why?”

“Why, you ask? Because it was their money that allowed you to be the piece of shit you are. Because they used that money to help cover up your evil. Now it’ll go to better use. By the way, I found most of the girls you violated I’m still working on the others. Guess where your inheritance is going.” This bitch started crying.

I’m thinking the wife was numb, or the cold bitch had gone back to sleep because there was no sound coming from her corner. I started to wonder if she too might have been one of his victims but then thought better of it. No matter how much of a victim she is or was, what she tried to do to her baby sister is unfucking forgivable. She’s toast.

“That’s pretty much all I came to say. Oh, one last thing, your offshore bank accounts are now mine. Those I’m going to use to open another home in my sister’s name, I’m sure you won’t mind after what you did to her, you fuck. And you,” I turned my attention to the wife, “I hope you die a long slow, painful death.”

I got up to leave, turning off the flashlight so that the room was in complete darkness. Neither of them moved, which is what I’d been counting on, and it gave me enough time to do what I really came here to do.

I stepped out into the night with only the moonlight to guide me.

“Are they still alive?”

“Fuck the fuck you doing lurking around out here in the dark?” This fuck.

“I figured you’d be here.”

“And didn’t come inside to stick your nose in my shit? Try to stop me again?”

“I figured with all you’ve done so far that you wouldn’t kill them. You didn’t… did you?”

“Does it look like I did?” He turned and looked at the house where it was obvious that someone was looking out the window.

“I’m going home to my woman, don’t follow me.” He didn’t see my grin as I walked to my bike and rode away.

‘In other news, the CEO and heir apparent of the now almost defunct Taylor conglomeration has been found dead in his upper west side home along with his wife of four years. Authorities have been very tight-lipped on this one, but the rumor mill has been spinning, and it appears the couple was attacked by some kind of organ eating virus. No word yet from the coroner on whether or not this is true.’

‘Biohazard units have been seen outside the home, and the neighbors have been asked to relocate for safety purposes until it’s certain that there’s no danger to anyone else in the area. As usual, the family is asking that you respect their wishes and give them privacy to mourn the loss of their loved ones.’

‘What a horrible way to go.’

‘Isn’t it? And so young too the two of them.’

‘That poor family has had a rough month, first their business and now…” I tuned out the eleven o’clock news when the two newscasters started playing the guessing game as to what could’ve befallen the two idiots and why the family had come under such heavy attack in the last week or so.

I gotta call my boy at the CDC and thank him for that shit, but since he doesn’t even know I took it, there’s no point. It’s good to have friends in all places. I’m sure Dray the fuck with his murdering ass might sniff around the truth. But the virus had taken two days to kill them. When I left their house, they were very much alive, and he can attest to that.
