Fourty

John slid in the booth, Paul followed suit and sat opposite of him.

"Okay," John began. "Explain why the hell is your brother doing this to Ritchie."

Paul cleared his throat.

"It all started with a girl. She had blonde hair and she had this cute smile. Her front teeth had a little gap. My brother would sometimes tease her, call her a rabbit or a bunny."

Paul stopped, giving John a look. Slowly, he nodded.

"Go on."

"My brother was a bit of a jealous guy. I wouldn't blame him, Pattie was a very attractive lady. Plus, she was a model." Paul added. "She had these dark blue eyes that captivated everyone---"

"Wait." John broke in. "Blue eyes?"

Paul nodded. "Uh huh, blue eyes. Like cobalt blue." He fished out his wallet. "I think I might have a picture of her here..."

John took a good look at the crumpled photo.

Paul's brother, a lanky-looking lad with cheekbones, had an arm slung around a blonde girl. They were smiling at the camera. John could see Pattie was having he time of her life just by looking at her eyes.

Cobalt blue.

Just like Ringo's.

"What happened?" John croaked out, preparing himself for the worst.

Paul took the picture back.

"George was getting too clingy. Too jealous. Too... T-Too much for Pattie." He took one last look at the picture. "This was the last photo they took. A week before she left him for someone else."

Oh. John thought. Well that explains his fucked-up behaviour.

"What happened to... George?" John didn't like the feeling of saying his name. It was too normal. It wasn't the type of name that suited a maniac.

Paul didn't reply.

"Paul, please." John said, trying to meet his eyes. "I need to know about the guy who kidnapped my friend."

He bit his lip.

"He went insane."
