"Your dad was the one who talked us into doing his dirty work. It took a little convincing. First he threatened us. And then he threatened Josie. And I gotta tell you, Sid. I'd do anything for her. Especially agree to help kill your slutbag mother and then you in exchange for Josie's safety." Billy said. Stu peered over at Josie who had a worried look on her face as Sidney briefly locked eyes with her sister.

"Is that motive enough for you? How about this? Your slutmother was fucking my father and she's the reason my mom moved out. But it wasn't just your dad who caught on to your mom, it was Josie. And your mother took it out on her. Since your mom loved playing favorites, you were the apple of her eye. Josie was nothing to her. I was always meant to protect Jo. And your dear old dad knew that. How's that for a motive?" Billy wondered.

"Maternal abandonment causes serious deviant behavior. It certainly fucked you up. It made you have sex with a psychopath." Billy told Sidney. Ditto. Josie thought to herself, nodding her head slightly. But it washed over Josie that Billy did have sex with Sidney.  Her eyes snapped to look at Billy, a small look of hurt but a small fire burned behind all the hurt.

"That's right. You gave it up. Now you're no longer a virgin. Now you gotta die." Stu said.

"It's all a scary movie. How do you think it's going to end?" Billy taunted Sidney. While Stu was focused on Sidney, Billy looked at Josie and realized that his time was up. The girl had grabbed one of the kitchen knives and stabbed Stu's side. He yelled out in pain. Billy and Stu turned towards Josie but she disappeared around the corner. Giving enough time for Sidney to do the same when their attention was on Josie. Billy slammed down his knife pissed off as Stu yanked the kitchen knife out of his side. He turned back around to see Sidney gone too.

"What the fuck!" Billy yelled.

"I don't think that was supposed to happen." Stu coughed out.

"Where the hell are they?" Billy screamed. The landline went off, stopping the boys in their tracks of searching for the two girls. Billy picked up the phone.

"Are you alone in the house?" Sidney asked into the phone, using the voice changer she snatched off the counter.

"Bitch. You bitch where the fuck are you?" Billy asked.

"Not so fast. We're gonna play a little game. It's called "Guess Who Just Called The Police And Reported Your Sorry Motherfucking Ass."" Sidney said. Shuffling was heard on the other line as Josie took the phone from Sidney.

"Find them you dipshit!" Billy yelled at Stu who leaned down on the counter for support.

"I can't Billy. Jo got me deep. I think I'm dying here man." Stu told him.

"Billy, Billy. I guess it's my turn to play." Josie spoke into the phone. Sidney watched her older sister, who talked sweetly into the phone. She was too good at playing her role, Sidney had no idea.

"Where the fuck are you, Jo? You pissed me off." Billy asked.

"Forget about good old dad. For once be a man yourself. Come and find me, lover boy." Josie challenged him.

"You shouldn't have said that." He warned her.

"What are you going to do?  Gut me? I'm too pretty for that." She taunted. Sidney saw the spark in her sister's eyes as she taunted the clearly crazed boy. But couldn't judge the girl in that moment. Not entirely. There was so much she had initially overlooked when it came to Josie. And Billy was the one to point it out. Even though he was now killing in order to save Josie. She just couldn't believe her dad wanted her dead.
