The Black Shadows
1: And be a simple kind of man
Its like lighting touching the ground. Quick and with a flash. Nothing less. My hair was plastered on my face, as the rain cascade around i and Andrew as we stood in the middle of nowhere. It happened so fast... With just a shut of my eyes i could see me, killing Kelvin. I was a killer. "Maxine..." Andrew came to me, cupping my face. "Focus." How am i supposed to focus? "Get the bodies." I did as i was told moving towards the car opening the bonnet. There they lay. Ronnie and Kelvin. I can do this.
Just like Andrew said, the rain stopped. First was Ronnie. Sliding him from the bonnet i threw him on the ground. "I did not pack the shovels." I whispered grabbing Kelvin by the arm.
"We are not burying them." Andrew stated dimly like he had done this before. "We are going to burn them. No DNA traces, non. How to get away with murder, burn everything." I nodded as a response pulling him out. Andrew grabbed a few wooden stakes from his car, which i had no idea he got. Crossing my arms i looked at what he was doing. "When we get home, we bleach everything okay."
"Of course." I whispered trembling as my clothes were tight to my body from the rain. "What should i do?"
"I think i have got it." He removed a packet of matches. I walked over to him standing in front of the dead bodies. "No one should know about this, not even our friends okay." I wrapped my arm around his waist with a nod. He light the match and threw it on the reeds and sticks with the body on top. "Maxine." I looked up and gave a sadden smile. "Don't worry." I doubt it.
My hands were on the edge of the sink as i gazed at my reflection. Blood strands still across my face, i am not sure who's was it. Kelvin, Ronnie or Andy's. Turning on the tap i washed it off before pulling my sweater off, throwing it in the bag Andy provided for me. "I am going to be a mother, a wife don't be a pussy and run away. Its not worth it."
As the second turned into minutes and the minutes to hours the living room was spotless, so spotless you can eat from the floor. "Kitten?" I turned my head from the fire place towards Andrew. "Talk to me."
"I can't, it was one thing to bury someone but killing them. I am not a monster. I am not a simple man like you."
Andrew sat next to me as i lay head on his chest. "You're not a monster, you were protecting me and i would be forever grateful," He kissed my temple and breathed heavily. "We are in this together, right Maxine?"
"Yeah. We are."
