Major Crime, Major Time (short story)

Major Crime, Major Time

"Guilty or not guilty" yelled the judge as he stared down on us. We had to give up arguing, Evelyn and I looked at each other, back up at the judge and both said "Guilty." In 2016 of February, the day of the 24th, my best friend and I chose to go to the bar. She had just went through a massive break up, so I thought it was best for her to "loosen up".

"What are we going to do about getting home?" She asked, worryingly.

"I'm designated driver" I said to her, happily. She slightly laughed.

"Don't worry so much, I got you" I said.

"I know I just..."

"Just nothing, you're going to have fun." I pulled up to the Valet parking and we left the car. We walked in side by side holding each other, "With this line we're never going to get in." I laughed, "Hey, at least we're together"

"True that" she said with a wink. The guy in front of us heard our voices and turned around, I couldn't believe who it was. My ex, who broke up with me two weeks ago, the one I cared about, the one that would kiss me on the forehead, made every and any problem gone, the one who holds you when something is wrong, Was with another girl. "Hey Hannibal, didn't expect you to be here" I said slyly.

"Same with you ... I got a new girlfriend" Ouch fucker, I already noticed her,

"Oh hey, so what's your name"?

"Juliette" she said with a Puerto Rican voice.

"She's blonde" He said.

"Natural?" I ask,

"Oh yeah, totally" she winked. My best friend and I knew we we're being replaced, we we're going to lose him to this girl who's an obvious gold digger, we knew. We got into the party, Hannibal got us all drinks and we danced to all songs "I'll be right back, I'm going to go get some more drinks" He said and walked away.

"Do you smoke?" I ask.

"Yeah" She says.

"Let's go outside, I need one" Evelyn, my friend says,

We went outside and talked, we went further and further into a trench, this girl had no clue what we we're going to do to her. I winked at my best friend "5" she said

"4" I said

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Kill." Evelyn doused her with gas, I quickly lit the match and up in flames she went. We walked back up the trench and walked past a few people, to clueless and drunk to give a shit. We winked and looked flirtatious, had to disguise somehow. We walked in and there's Hannibal standing at the door. "Where's Juliette?" he asked

"Oh she said she was going to walk to taco bell and go get something to eat. He quickly swallows a drink and says, "Let's go"

"No, just one more drink" Evelyn hands him a drugged drink and he swallows it down,

"Now can we go?" We walk out. We try to hold Hannibal straight as possible, "The room is spinning" He says then passes out. We get him in the truck and drive our way home, We drop him off at his house and put him to bed,

"What are we going to do?"

"Play it out like a movie, of course, come on we've done this a few times before, you think we can't do it one more time?" She looks at me and says "True." We walk home since we're only two blocks away and go to bed, we pass out quick.
