His Legacy

Chapter 34~ The lake

A knock sounds at the front door, and I answer it.

I open it, to see Diego's back to me.

I frown at him. 'Diego, why are you back?' I ask.

He turns around and gives me a sheepish smile. 'Are you free to take a walk?' He asks, pointing in the general direction of the lake behind the house.

I turn to look back inside the house, and then I turn back to face him. 'Yeah sure.'

______________________________________________________________

We've almost walked the length of the lake before my curiosity and my inability to keep quiet takes a hold of me.

'Why are you here?' I ask him.

You can't see the house from the lake, which means the cameras can't see me.

Which means, this is the perfect place to kill someone.

Namely me.

He looks at me, like he's thinking the same thing.

'I could kill you out here.' He says thoughtfully.

I stop walking, so he stops.

He shrugs. 'What, I could. I never said I would.'

I narrow my eyes. 'Answer my question Diego, why are you here?'

'Oh, I needed to tell you something.' He says, turning and continuing to walk.

'Tell me what?' I ask, following suit and walking next to him.

'You know where we found Pandora's box?' He asks.

I nod.

'I went back there.' He continues.

'Why?' I ask.

'I went to kill the security guards.'

'I already did that.' I say.

'Yeah, but you only killed one of them, I went to kill the rest.'

I stop walking again, and so does he.

'What?'

'You might see it on the news, it was a bit of a massacre.'

'Did you kill people, like innocent civilians?'

'Yeah.' He says nonchalantly.

'Why?'

He shrugs. 'Because they were witnesses.'

'No, why did you go back?' I ask.

'I don't really know, I was just kind of pissed.'

'Pissed about what?' I ask.

He pushes his hands in his pockets, looks me up and down, and says 'Pissed about men getting off on you acting like a slut.'
