" Let's paint the floor red || Rody x Vincent || Dead Plate "

{10}

As Vincent was getting dressed, he heard the front door open then close. He didn't think Rody was leaving him completely, especially not after suggesting they go somewhere, but maybe getting something? Vincent wasn't sure but he had a feeling something was wrong. He sighed and walked over to one of the nightstands by his bed, opening it to grab something out when he noticed the freezer lock was gone. His eyes narrowed at where the guy was supposed to be and he frowned. Damn Lamoree. He stepped back and shut the drawer to the nightstand.

He walked out of his apartment and down to the restaurant, the door was cracked. He must have stolen the keys to the door or Vincent forgot to lock it last. Either or, Rody was about to find something that Vincent didn't want him to know. Vincent walked in then rushed to the freezer, the door open and seeing Rody standing there with a pendant in his hand. Manons pendant.

He walked in quietly behind Rody, his eyes wide and a terrifying expression edged on his face. He grabbed something, he couldn't tell what he grabbed but he knew it was something to knock Rody out which is what he did. He hit Rody in the back of the head as Rody stood there, tears running down his cheeks as Rody realized what has happened to his precious girlfriend. Why Manon never called him back or why he never saw Manon again. Rody fell to the floor as his body went limp, going unconscious and dropping the pendant.

Vincent cursed under his breath as he set down the item. He looked down at Rody's unconscious body, how lifeless it almost seemed despite the soft breathing that indicated Rody was still alive. He walked out of the freezer then came back with rope, kneeling down beside Rody then tying Rody's arms and legs. He didn't want Rody to escape so he made sure the knots to the rope were secure.

Vincent stood up and tossed the rope over to the side, his eyes not leaving Rody. Rody looked so... hot tied up if Vincent was honest with himself. He had weird envisions of what he thinks is hot or sexy, he wasn't a normal person after all. He then sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, getting a headache from all the stress of Rody having to find out about this secret.

Not too long after being knocked out, Rody's eyes started to flutter open. He looked around his surroundings. He had been moved to Vincent's room. He furrowed his eyebrows, his head foggy but he clearly remembered seeing Manon's bloody pendant in Vincent's restaurant freezer. Vincent killed Manon. He had to, that would explain whose body parts he saw in the corner of the freezer in that tub that didn't have a lid. Damnit Rody, how did you get yourself in these situations? He thought to himself.

Suddenly, the bedroom door was heard unlocking and opening. Of course, Vincent changed the lock to be on the outside. Rody furrowed his eyebrows further as he saw Vincent in the doorway. Trying to move his hands, he now realized he was tied up. Took him a moment to realize that. He squirmed a bit. "You monster! You killed her!" Rody yelled out, his voice shaky as tears welled in his eyes again.

Vincent walked in, shutting the door behind him. He sighed as he approached Rody, taking Rody's chin into his thumb and index finger. Rody tried pulling away but Vincent grabbed Rody's chin fully and harshly when he did. Vincent smiled softly, almost mockingly. "Oh Rody..." He spoke softly and quietly. He then frowned. "You were suppose to find that out... at least not yet." He tilted his head to the side.

Rody's fears were confirmed, even though Rody knew it was already true with the overwhelming amount of evidence he's seen in Vincent's freezer. "You're sick!" He tried pulling back again but Vincent's grip tightened.

Vincent scowled, "Stay still." He narrowed his gaze at Rody, Rody thought he looked terrifying with his extremely wide eyes and scowl on his lips but even more terrifying when Vincent smiled widely. Vincent let go of Rody then revealed the knife he was hiding behind him.

Rody's eyes widened, was Vincent going to kill him? Rody wouldn't be surprised but he still didn't want to die. He let out a shaky breath as Vincent lifted the knife to his chest, his eyes locking on the knife.
