As I walked down the stairs I was met with a stoney silence.
"Hello?" I called out, sticking my head round the corner of the lounge. "Is anyone in?" I called again, expecting a reply, but never got one.
I sighed, running my hand through my hair, nonchalantly turning the tv on as I sat down.
"Gangsters,drug dealer and massacist, Steven Thompson, has been found dead."
The words echoed through my mind. I turned the TV up, thoughts racing through my head.
"He was found dead in the early hours of this by a runner in central park. There is currently no indication into how he died, however, local police have issued a statement saying ' his body was torn in two. At this stage in the investigation we cant be sure what caused that amount of damage to the body, but it's most likely to have been animals. As the body appears to have been here for ar least 24 hours'.
I zoned out, the sound of the TV in the background now a gentle hum.
How can he be dead? Its not possible....
"What are you doing!? Why are you watching that?!" Jason roared, snapping me out of the trance I was In, quickly turning the tv off.
I looked up at him emotionlessly, tears building in my eyes.
His face instantly softened
"It was you, wasnt it?" I asked bluntly
"What?" He asked frowning
"You did that, didn't you?" I asked again .
"Did what? What are you talking about?" He asked, shifting nervously.
"Dont play fucking dumb McCann! I know it was you! I asked you if there was anything else an you said no!" I snapped anger washing over me.
"I did it for you" he defended softly
"No you didn't! Dont you dare blame this on me! You did it for you Jason, because you wanted him dead!" I screamed.
"Fine! Yeah I wanted him dead. I think the guys a prick! But you're better off without him!" He roared
"How the fuck would you know!" I argued
"Because I know what he did to you!" He snapped in a low tone.
Suddenly, realisation washed over me. The thing we had been arguing about for the last 5 minutes.
He killed him.
"Oh my god" I muttered, nausea washing over me.
I quickly raced up the stairs - Jason hot on my tail
