THE HEADMASTER FROM HELL

Part 51 - SERIAL KILLER Part 6

Louise, Matthew's mother, poured herself a whisky

''Want one do you?'' she asked Sean ''I know whisky is your favorite drink and you punish your liver daily with this stuff'' 

By now Aaron had tied Sean to a chair. Otherwise he would have liked nothing more than to jump out of his chair, knock the drink out of her hand, and strangle her. How dare she of all people play such a dangerous game with Sean 

She took a sip ''Mmmm good stuff! i would offer you a drink but i don't think you deserve it'' 

''I don't care about the whisky i want to know what this is all about'' Sean said with fury ''What the fuck are you playing at Louise?''

''I would have thought that was obvious'' she said

''Not to me it isn't''

''I'm making you pay for what you did to my son and me don't you see that? You took my son away from me and that was bad enough. But now he is in prison for life because of you. Well there was no way i was going to let you get away with it you know?''

''But killing people Louise? I didn't think you were capable of it. You were always a weak nervous wreck''

''So i decided to get tough. I decided enough was enough''

Sean looked at the man ''And who the fuck is he?'' he asked

''I'm Aaron'' the man said ''I am Louise's cousin and we've always been very close since we were little kids''

''Well when i was with Louise she never mentioned you. I never met you or even saw  a photo of you'' Sean said

Aaron looked regretful ''That's because we lost touch for a few years. I was busy doing other stuff and i forgot to keep in touch. I wish i had now because if i had known what you were doing to her i would have got involved and helped her fight you. I am fond of Matthew too so i want you to pay for what you've done to them both. I feel i owe it to them for letting them down and not being there to help them earlier''

''Ok so explain something else to me'' Sean said ''Why have you been killing people who had nothing to do with any of this?''

Louise was genuinely sorry about that ''I took no pleasure in killing any of them'' she said ''Aaron and i aren't your usual serial killer who only does it for fun. We don't enjoy it but it had to be done for a simple reason. Sean you've killed 5 people. We know all about it. Therefore you are already a serial killer. Matthew went to prison for 2 of your murders. It was important that we would kill 5 people so that we could frame you for 5 murders so that you would be convicted and punished for 5 murders because that is how many you yourself committed''

''yes i see'' Sean said and he could see the twisted logic they were using. Frame him for 5 murders so that he is convicted for 5 murders because that is how many he really had done. But it was a bit silly, Sean thought, because 3 would have been enough to convict him as a serial killer. Making sure it was 5 was almost like some autistic obsession thing

''So tell me how you cooked up this idea?'' he asked Louise ''I know you aren't capable of doing this without influence from someone else. Did Matthew ask you to do this?''

''No but i am sure he'll be pleased with me for it'' she said

''Louise and myself came up with it together. Just the two of us.No one else was involved''Aaron told Sean

''Well i think you talked Louise into it'' he told Aaron

Louise shook her head ''No Sean we were both equally keen on doing it. We both wanted you to pay''
