Cry for me

7. Seen; Sean

I was annoyed and frustrated. Sean wasn't picking up the phone. I was in the woods on the outskirts and I expected Sean to be here with Alice, but he wasn't. I called him again and he finally answered.

''Where the fuck are you? Why aren't you picking up your phone?!''

''You told me I couldn't tell you anything when you sound like this! News travels fast man. Only one body was found. Mariam's going to make it out alive.''

''Good, just tell me where you are, and we can figure this out.''

''Kevin?

''Yeah,'' I signed knowing what he wants to know, ''Alice's father.''

''What?''

''I promised two bodies, I walked by the library and it's burned to a crisp, so my best bet is that the asshole is dead.''

''Do you know who you're messing with? Won't you end up like him- ''

''You know what you have to do right?''

''KILL HER,'' he cleared his throat,'' like we do all the time right, why would this time be any different?''

I paused. Something was off. I glanced at my watch. It was 8 o'clock

''Revenge. For every person that I don't kill there will be more. A dead Alice is the first thing that she'll look for.''

''She'll appear that way don't worry.''

''Oh, but I'm not the only one who has to worry Sean, or have you forgotten about your sister!''

''You son of a bitch! I did what you asked for! Leave my sister out of this!''

'' I saved her ones but if this all goes wrong, I'm not going to wait for her to get killed! I'll do it myself. Now let me ask you this again SEAN, where are you?''

BEEP

I looked down ready to kill, only to receive a text with their location and I cursed. They were close, too close. I opened the glove compartment and grabbed my father's gun. The text wasn't sent by Sean, I was sure of it. I glanced at my watch, it was eight o'clock and there is no way that their bodies were already found unless the cops were alerted of the fire. I parked my car before dialling a number I never thought I'd dial.

''Moron John,'' I taunted the little cop, 'where exactly are you?''

''Who's this?'' John said sounding annoyed.

I clucked my tongue in disappointment, ''Shouldn't a cop be able to figure that out little Johny? It's Kevin, Kevin Johnson.''

''What do you want, you little prick?''

''I had a question about the bodies found in the school today?''

''What are you talking about??! What bodies?''

I knew it, fucking lazy cops.

''Do you have cops that you trust John?''

''Why?! What's going on Kevin?''

''Okay Johny,'' I started my car back up, ''there are a couple of bodies that will be found near school. Alexia, the one who went missing, an old crusty and now crispy man and possibly another girl. Mariam. You can send any cops over there it doesn't matter.''

''What do you mean with it doesn't matter Kevin?! What are you going to do?''

''It's not really me you have to worry about.''

''Then who is?''
