I tried calling Steve on my way to John's, but he didn't answer the phone and it went straight to his voicemail, same with Bucky. I knew Steve would be mad I went alone before I could get ahold of him, but I needed to get Garrett out. I got to John's house and just opened the front door. Garrett came running down the stairs with a bag packed already.

"There he goes! Running out the door just like Olivia did all the time to Lamar!" John yelled from the living room, and I groaned.

"Garratt, here...take my keys, start the car to stay warm and I will be out in a few minutes. I need to talk to your dad." I said and he nodded.

"GET THE FUCK OUT GARRETT! I DON'T EVEN LOVE YOU!" John yelled and Garrett stopped, and I just shook my head at him.

"He's drunk, just go." I placed my hand on Garrett cheek and then he walked out. I turned to look at John. "What is wrong with you?!" I growled.

"Oh, look its Autumn! Here to tell me how much of a screw up I am!" John said and I groaned.

"John, you're drunk. If I wanted to tell you that you were a screw up, I will do it when you're sober and would remember it." I said and he threw an empty beer bottle at my head, and I ducked but heard it crash behind me against the wall.

"Get out of my house!" John yelled.

"No! You need hear me out!" I yelled back. He just rolled his eyes and started drinking from the whiskey bottle he was holding. "You are going to lose Garrett! He is scared of you John! He misses his mother every day and you do nothing to help him with that." I said. At the mention of Olivia John scoffed.

"His mother! That's all this is about, this is about Olivia! It was always about Olivia!"

"John, stop." I said.

"No! I think it's time you knew the truth little sister. I think it's time you know what happened to my darling wife. My whore of a wife."

"John, Olivia wasn't a whore. She made some mistakes..."

"Mistakes?! She fucked Lamar! She wanted dick from everywhere! I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't the only one, but he was the only one I could prove! So, when I found out they were sleeping together I told him to stay away, or it would be his life! He didn't stay away and knocked her up! I know that baby was his." John rambled...I had to act stupid.

"Baby? What baby?" I asked and John chuckled.

"She was pregnant! She was pregnant and tried to tell me it was mine which I thought was funny since she never gave me her pussy for the longest time and then bam sex and bam, she is pregnant. Such a load of shit. I couldn't let her have his baby...his fucking love child."

"What did you do?!" I asked.

"Well Olivia had a little accident and fell down the stairs...did I happen to be behind her when it happened...maybe." John said and snickered.

"JOHN! You caused the miscarriage?!" I asked in horror.

"I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO!" John yelled, I felt my whole body shake with his booming voice.

"You killed her baby?!" I yelled.

"Fuck yeah, I did! I killed Lamar too! I thought pinning it on you was going to be so easy but your neighbor having a doorbell camera was not something I counted on! Egging him on, with my burner phone, to approach you at the bar that night was so easy! He wanted justice for Olivia, and I told him you were the one to go after. When he didn't do what I needed him to do he had to go. But enough people saw you two in an altercation so I knew it would be so easy." John explained.

I just stood there and shook my head. I didn't think John had this much hate in him.

"Were you the one who hit me that night at the patch?" I asked and John chuckled.

"Of course, it was me! Who else could it have been? Karli?! She didn't have the strength nor the reason. I wanted you dead, dead like Olivia. All the women in my life need dealt with." John explained.

"John, what did you do to Olivia?" I asked.

"Oh yeah..." John chuckled. "She was the best one!" John said.

I felt the cold chill run down my spine. This was the moment of truth, this was what I needed from him to put the final nail in the coffin.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Why do you want to know?" John asked.

"Because John, I deserve to know..." I said and he got up from the couch and walked over to me. He was in my face, and I got scared.

"You really want to know? You really want to hear this?" John asked and I nodded.

"I do...I loved Olivia and I want to know."

"Yeah, everyone loved Olivia...the bitch." John grumbled and nudged my shoulder.

"John...tell me." I said.

"Olivia and I were closing up the patch about a year ago. She was fighting with me, this was normal for us, fighting and getting on each other nerves. She was getting on my last nerve, and I kept telling her to stop but she kept pushing me. I walked out to the field to cool off, but she followed me wanting to continue. We fought out in the patch, and I just had enough. I snapped and thought if she was gone, I wouldn't have to deal with her anymore. I grabbed the shovel and just swung, not thinking and I hit her upside the head. She fell to the ground instantly and I panicked. I pulled out my phone to call 9-1-1 and then realized I was getting everything I wanted, I wanted her gone. I noticed she was still breathing. I couldn't have her alive anymore, she did nothing but cause drama and issues in my life. She ruined everything in my life, I wished I had never met her. I then sat on top of her, wrapped my hands around her throat and just squeezed. Her eyes opened as I did, and she was trying to fight me off. I just squeezed tighter, I watched the life leave her eyes. I watched her die, and I felt the biggest sense of relief in life when I realized she was dead." John explained and I just looked at him in horror.

"Where is her body, John?" I asked.

"The same place yours had been if I had succeeded that night in killing you and wasn't stopped. She was buried in the patch. Why do you think I reworked the maze this year? I have to work on hiding the disturbed ground where she was buried." John sneered in my face. I was terrified, his eyes were dark, his eyes were cold and dead.

"You were going to kill me that night?" I asked.

"That was my plan, but it had to go and get ruined."

"I'm going to go John, I think you need to have some coffee and sober up." I said and went to leave but he grabbed me and threw me against the wall, I cried out in pain in my back.

"No one here to stop me now." John said quickly wrapping his hands around my throat and I tried fighting him off. As I did my phone slipped out of my jacket pocket and to the floor. John looked at saw it was recording the entire conversation.

"You little fucking bitch! You were going to get me arrested!" John said punching me in the face. I fought back the pain. I lifted my leg and kneed John between his legs, and he let me go. I then took a vase that was near me cracking it over his head., momentarily knocking him out. I grabbed my phone and ran out of the house to the car. I got in the car in pain and coughing from being choked out.

"Aunt Autumn?!" Garrett asked and I shook my head unable to talk. I ended the recording on my phone and quickly pulled out of the driveway. Destination, police station...unfortunately that was quickly thwarted when I saw headlights coming up fast behind me.
