LAST VACATION

chapter 6

The night was indeed a terro. Everyone slept any where and the first time ever, they seemed to notice how small the lake house was. It'd been all happy along, they shared rooms, they slept in each others rooms, but it seemed everyone needed privacy now.

Daco felt in there room, Mark needed it more, so he left the room , back in the living room, Stunt took the sofa, refusing he couldn't sleep in the room he shared with Jackill.

There goes an empty room, but no one would sleep there, it was once Jackill's.

The other chairs seemed too small to take his long body so he just layed on the floor, refusing the offer from stunt to have the sofa. He made himself comfortable on the floor hopping the slow night will end soon.

6:30Am.
His phone buzzed in his pocket.
Daco got up and pulled the phone out, looking at it.
Was he expecting to see something, he couldn't tell.
The night had been slow and rough. He could not sleep and now he was up, his body ached badly.

"I need the morning glory" he thought out loud.

Standing up, he walked out the door, being careful not to wake anyone up.
He needed his time alone.
It'd being awhile, Daco thought as he headed towards the lake.

It was a normal thing for them to take walks towards the lake at mornings, the look of the water and how it move was good, even the sounds were good to him, but normally they came in twos or threes. Though it'll always be after breakfast.

So now he was alone. It felt good.
He felt relieved, away from everyone and soon enough, he'll get his head cleared from everything.

He walked slowly and stood along side the lake, looking at his figure as it appeared in the water. He smiled.
It felt good to have a true smile again after the yesterday moments.
Bending now, he fetched the water with his hands to was his face" hmmmmm" the feelings good.
He sat back on the sand, thinking just how refreshing it felt.

How long he sat there throwing pebbles in the lake he didn't know but maybe it was time to walk, walk a little bit then head back for breakfast, his tommy drums had started playing.

He stopped for a moment then again walked forward a little then stopped.

A joke!
If what he saw was a joke then.....

The last time Daco played the scary dead game with his dead was when he was way younger.
Mayb when his back from school and find his dad laying on the stairs faking death, or at the beach when he fake drowned, but now was not the time.
Things were too serious for him to come out playing scary dead game. Besides, he sat at the other end for a while, he didn't hear anyone come.

He walked faster now, dead curious to know who or what lay a few feet from him.
Walking over and looking down now, his mouth hung open, his jaws were going to Fall out.

He bent over to touch him but no! , it was scary, the look was scary, he looked so pale wrose than a vampire. He looked white.
With this, he knew just once, he knew, he'd seen this before, not reality but yeah, this saw was how they looked.

Jackill!

Daco gave his lifeless body a fearful look as his body lay over the sand, his head hanging low, almost into the lake.

Dead.

The word echoing so loudly in his head, he took off. Running like a mad man.

A walk from the house to the lake is nothing than just a minute, an eye site from the house, but running back to it now seemed more, it seemed long.

The room fell silent when Daco stormed in and all heads turned.

"Now what?" Stunt asked looking pissed.
If anyone could act drama, it'd be Daco, everyone knew it. He was the clown of the house, will make anyone smile, but really he didn't know when to be serious. His play times took the better of him always.
Now running in like this, no one gave him a second look, it could be he was running thinking breakfast will be over with. No doubt food was his number one.

"Some morning play?.....no one is ready for your pranks Daco"
Cara said dismissively.

"Jackill" he called out.
There comments were so annoying, but with the terrible site he'd seen just scones back, he could care less.
"Wait what?".......jimmy asked, almost pouring his tea over.
"Look, this might seem like some joke......." he paused to study their faces

"Just go on dude" mark snapped
"Ok.....I saw him"
" I saw him by the lake" he stumbled on his words

"What do you mean you him by the lake....." Timmy looked up for the first time.

another pause.

"What do you mean you saw him by the lake" sighed cara,

"I saw him laying by the lake.....his..."
The word seemed a bit hard to let out.
"Laying by the lake?.....look Daco what are you playing at just spill the beans" clearly jimmy was no patient man.

"His..... his DEAD"
There, he'd said the word.

Shock.

"Take me there" jimmy broke out making a stand and falling the chair over.

They hurriedly walked out the door, leaving their food. Now all eyes been on Daco, he knew better than waste their time, but not before he walked in to grab too toast. From a plate.

Dina and her looks will always make you want to vanish but really, he could risk it, just for his food.
"Am sorry am just really hung...." "your always hungry, now shutup and move" Dina cut him off.
The walk was short... silent, everyone to kin on seen a dead Jackill.

Looking at everything again, Daco figured he hadn't even notice the obvious.

Oh! Maybe he was too scared, too shocked, too everything you can think off.

The blood stained knife still in his neck
Shit, who is so wicked to stab in the neck.

A killer has got no limitations on who to kill or where to kill right?

Heck, his got no limitation on where to stab.

The fear on everyone's face was clear.
But really, who is to have the worst fear of them all?
The soldier, or the to be judge?

With all the current happenings, jimmy doubted if he could still be the supposeed judge if things got out.
They'd agreed to keep the rape a secret but now the murder, he doubted anything will go down well.

If they kept shut about this and later it get out, his career will be questioned, and if they go ahead and let it out to the cops then, the rape will also have to come in the open.
One sacrifices had to be made.

Danm

Looking at his chiefs murdered body. He knew it was time to let go off the secret.

"Pull him out" Dina said
"Don't......don't touch him"
Stunt Stept before them.
"You touch him now, your prints will be on him"
He finished.
"Call the cops stunt" jimmy replied before backing off.

He walked a few steps then stopped, turned and called back
"I think this vacation is over"
With that he walked off.

No one side a word but slowly, the all walked away. Back to the house.
Time to pack.

It was time to head back and know what reality held for them.
