The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 134~

Joanna's POV
Everything went well for several weeks. I didn't kill anyone. Not a single soul. One day, I got this idea to take Dory and Kristina to Norway or Hungary for a vacation. We decided to go to Norway. It's Kristina's home country. Kristina was happy, but a little emotional. Technically, she got kidnapped and her country got taken away from her.

"Honey.. you do understand you can't see your family again?", I asked.

"I understand that", she said.

I wanted to go to Oslo, the capital of Norway, just to make sure it was a long distance from her home. But she begged me to take them to the place she grow up, so that she could say goodbye and to show us the place. She lived on the countryside, so the closest hotel was about ten minutes away. But that was fine. When we arrived in Norway, we left our bags in the hotel room, and then Kristina showed us her old school. She didn't thrive at her old school, so she didn't miss it that much. We took the bus and went to the place she grew up. She showed us her house from the outside, she showed us the soccer court, and then she showed us the place where she walked her dog.
We went to the ocean and the beach where she used to swim. We could see her sister, her sister's husband and their two children.

"Last time I saw them, they only had one kid", Kristina said.

I could tell she wanted to say hi to them, but she couldn't. We had to stay away from them and prevent them from seeing her. She almost started to cry.

"Awe, darling.. I'm so sorry", I told her.

"It's fine.. I just miss them", she said.

"I know you do.. I know you do", I said.

The sun was going down. Alex and Dory went back to the hotel, while Kristina and I were still sitting there talking.

"I know it's hard", I said as I stroke her heir gentle.

"How about this: I take you to the grocery store, we buy some snacks and then we go back to the hotel and watch a movie", Joanna suggested.

"Okay", I said as I wiped my tears.

When we were at the grocery store, I recognized a guy looking strange at me. I didn't think that much about it. When we came out, he started talking to me.

"Excuse me, can I talk to you?", he asked.

"Who are you?", I asked.

"I'm Arne Svernsli, you look a little familiar", he said.

"How did you know I was American?", I asked.

"There's not a lot of people who doesn't know who you are", he said.

"Oh no", I said.

"Don't worry, I'm here to ask you if you need help with anything", he said.

"What do you mean?", I asked.

"Is there something you want me to do for you? Anything? I can help you avoid being caught", he said.

"Oh my god, people are saying there's no criminals in this small town.. I knew they were wrong", Kristina said.

"That's right, Kristina Leonora Sande Johansen", he said.

"You know me?", Kristina asked him.

"I knew your parents, that woman kill them, didn't she?", he asked.

"Just stop", Kristina said.

"So, is there something I can do for you?", he asked me again.

"Yeah, shut the fuck up", I said as I took up a knife and cut his main artery.

"Joanna! You did so good for so long", Kristina said.

"Oh fuck no.. I'm so sorry", I said.

"What are we gonna to to the body? There's people in front of the store", Kristina said.

"Just leave it here, let's go back to the hotel", I said as I grabbed her hand.

We went back to the hotel, and then we watched a movie. We went to bed around 12:30 am.
