"My MaRiLyn..."

40.

I'm tying Baba up to a chair in his basement. The man just peed his pants and he is heavily sobbing. I don't really feel bad at all because he took away a life of someone I loved most and he almost took away a life of someone I love. Ciara. My best friend.

As I am tying his legs now,his phone rings. I'm the one having it so I take it out my pockets to see who it is and it's some guy called Morris. He's the guy Ciara was talking to earlier yesterday. But why is he calling her uncle?

I show Baba who it is and he nods in affirmation that I answer it for him. I put it on loud speaker,

"Hi, Baba. It's Morris. Ciara got attacked yesterday and she's in the hospital but she's fine now. Just want to let you know that,she'll be out of the hospital tomorrow," he blurts out in a split second.

"Ever thought of breathing while you're speaking,Morris?" I think to myself and Baja clears his throat to speak.

He's trying to put himself together.

"What happened to her?"

"She got stubbed. We called the police to help us with finding out who hurt her and they are by the hospital now speaking to Ciara about what happened."

I see Baba's eyes widen. He is hesitant. I pray Ciara tells the cops about who hurt her.

"Have they started asking her questions now?"

"Yeah. She's hesitant to tell them though," he tells Baba. I have never seen an old man panic like this. I hope he dies out of a heart attack so that my job of killing him gets lessened.

"I'll call you after the cops leave to let you know about everything," Morris says and cuts the line on Baba.

"I pray she spits it all out about how abusive you are towards her that you went ahead and attempted to kill her," I tell the old man who is really silently contemplating about how his old life will come to an end.

"Kill me now,I don't want the police to come over and arrest me and be put to shame in front of everyone. I don't want to spend my last days in jail," Baba pleads with me to end his life.

"No,I'll just untie you as soon as I hear the sirens of the cop cars ring," I inform him and he continues to heavily sob again. He is begging me to just end his life.

I then think of something.

"Why don't I just untie you and negotiate something with you,nha old man?"

"What is it that you want?"

"When the cops come over to arrest your sorry ass,climb upstairs to your room and jump off the balcony of your window to death," I respond and boy,oh boy this man nods his head as a sign of approval.

I'm doing this for you,Ciara.
