"Hoooh shit I hope that wasn't Nae!"

"Cassandra!!" I shouted.

Thank God, the Holy Ghost, and baby Jesus!! For once a bullet didn't hit me!!

We stood silent for a good three minutes, so we knew some one was dead.

I put my hand on the wall and guided myself to the bathroom.
I cut the light on.

We saw Batista trying to get up.
He bled out a lot.

He stared at me like a hungry zombie.

"Shoot him!" I yelled at Cassandra. She was the one with the gun.

She aimed as Batista limped his way to me.
He got pretty close.

"Damn girl!!" I snatched the gun from her and shot him in the head and what I hoped was his heart.

He fell.

Cassandra stared at the lifeless body on the floor.

She whipped her head around to me and raised her hands. "I didn't see anything! Please don't shoot me!"

"What?" I said completely lost
"Werent you going to shoot me? You know, how in the movies they shoot somebody for witnessing a murder or something like that?...."

"Did you say movies? Girl bye..." I threw the gun on the bed.

She sighed in relief.

"Ok, here's the plan. You take these keys and find a car. I'm going to make this look like an accident."

She nodded and headed out the door.

I guess we'll be going home in our underwear because I have no idea where he put our clothes.

I went into the kitchen and turned the gas on on the stove.

I then went into the attic and tampered with the natural gas that made the water run hot.

That one did the trick.

The smell of gas floated all through the house.

I took one of his bottles of wine, a lighter, and one of his shirts.

I went outside and backed up a lot.
No accidents.

I put the shirt in the bottle and lit it.

I chunked it into the house.

I ran into the car with Cassandra.
Apparently I was driving.

I sped off like a bat outta hell.

"Arent you going to fire department or something?"

"Give his body time to burn Cass," I explained. "So Hun, where do you live? Where do I need to drop you off at?"

She put her head down. "About that, I'm kinda homeless... That was the way Batista caught me. I was crying because I had just got evicted and he said he knew a place that pays good. Instead I showed up at his house."

I nodded. I was compelled to help her.
"You can stay with me for a while."

Pulled up on the block (Hit the Quan!! Nahh jus fuckin wit y'all)

I parked the car.

I didn't have my key so I was beating on the door like a mad woman.

I knocked on the door and rang the doorbell while screaming "Open up it me!"

Slim finally opened the door.
"Munchkin!" He called as I hugged him.

I looked behind him and there was everybody.
