Loves Sharp Edges

Chapter Nine - Y/N

You watch as the Suburban parks in front of the airport,  Madeline, Max and Sandra all stepping out of the car acting as naturally as possible as they follow Braddock into the airport, he removes plane tickets from his jacket as they walk. 

"Next flight out is to Oklahoma City. It's the Nine O'clock."  Braddock states as they all take a ticket. "Thats. . . " he checks his watch  "forty minutes to take off. Make sure you're on when it departs. We'll be watching." He then stops as they get to check in. They nod and head through the airport. 

. . . . .

As the three of them board the plane, Madeline takes the window seat, her mind still whirling, Sandra still sat there depressed and Max sits in the middle. "Its going to be ok, I promise" Max smiles at Madeline. "Its the two of us again, we'll be fine." He reassures her. 

"I just gave up hundreds of millions of dollars. It doesn't feel fine." She stares out the window. 

"We'll line up new scores. We'll start over." He says as if he's giddy with anticipation of a new life. 

"I don't want to start over." She's still glaring out the window. 

"Did you see all that blood?" Sandra suddenly says with more tears falling.

"Or did I. . ." Madeline says, as if Sandra hadn't spoken. "I gave the money to the foundation, if the head of the foundation can't fulfil his duties its left to the trustee, I am the trustee." She relaxes a little. 

"We killed Tom, we killed him and you're still talking about money." Sandra says in morbid disbelief. 

"Keep it together." Madeline growls. 

"I'm going to be sick." Sandra is quick to stand and walks quickly to the toilet. 

"We gotta get rid of her." Madeline says firmly, rolling her eyes suddenly a lot happier that the 3.5 billion would still be hers. 

"We can't, she's a witness she knows too much." Max says looking at the bathroom while Madeline looks at him. 

"Water?" The flight attendant offers and Max take one for him and hands one to Madeline. She begins to clean her sleeve and realises the red is coming off far too easily. Max drinks the bottle still looking straight ahead. 

"This isn't blood" Madeline says, bringing her sleeve up to show Max as he slowly turns to look at her. 

"Then what is it?" He asks, he sees the flight attendant doing a seatbelt check and looks at his watch, as he does this a look of horror crosses Madeline's face. 

"You tell me?"

"What?" He looks at her confused. 

"You're behind this." She says with a razor sharp accusing voice. 

"What are you talking about?"

"But... I don't understand. Why?" 

"Madeline...?"

"You fucked me. You fucked me! If you've fucked me I'm going to kill you you mother fucker. . ." 

"I don't know what you're talking about" Max repeats. 

"Your watch. Your bullshit watch!" She shakes her head "Y/N. . . she's not out the game. . . fuck you! Braddock had the same one." She shakes her head " You fucked me. I'll kill you. I'll fucking end you both!!" Madeline starts to attack Max, punching him. 

"You told me you would blow it all up and you did. You destroyed me!!" 

"Madeline! Madeline! Madeline!" Then Madeline stops Sandra's empty seat. She was up on her feat, barging past the flight attendant and banging on the door.  "Sandra! Sandra! Sandra!" She keeps banging but as the door opens she sees its empty "No! No! Sandra! SANDRA!" She turns to look at Max who's blue eyes just stare at her. She screams a few more profanities till she notices the police arriving.
