Sanity: The Saw Chronicles [C]

Chapter 10 | Chelsea's Grin

Eventually I caught up with Chris. He had fled to one of the watch towers. There was only one with a light on. Wasn't that hard to find him. When I got there, I quickly realized Kuza was missing. It's a good thing I gave those two that tip when I did. We have a lot of advantages in this game and I've realized it made it a little too easy for us. I want this to be a challenge, after all.

Manson was sat at the desk, watching the monitors. Twiggy was in his lap. They reminded me quite a lot of Ricky and I. Just older, and well, not in a big fight. Which reminds me, fucker still hasn't texted me back. Normally I would ignore it or even worry about it. Right now, I was just pissed. With my arms crossed across my chest, I propped myself against the wall and observed the scene in front of me.

Chris had Heather tied up and sat against the wall. He was knelt down in front of her, rambling on and on about how much he hated her. I've never seen him waste so much breath on a victim. Angelo stood beside me in the shadows and watched. We didn't say anything to each other because we didn't need to.

"When I said earlier than you owed someone an apology, that wasn't the right choice of words. What I should have said is you owe him closure. See, I've done plenty wrong. I did deserve that jail cell and I know that. But Angelo, Angelo never deserved it. I could've understood what you did.

You had a murderer for a boyfriend and turned him in. I get it, but the reason you turned Angelo in too is because you wanted revenge." He seethed as he pointed a pocket knife at her, "You wanted to see us suffer because you couldn't stand that I was always around him, with him. When I wasn't with him, I was texting him or talking about him. It drove you nuts. I remember the night I almost killed you... You said to me that if people didn't know any better, from the outside looking in, they'd think Angelo was my boyfriend.

After all your years of bitching, it looks like you were actually right about something."

She looked up at him through her ratted hair, completely baffled, "What?"

"All those nights I was at work late, the times you had to scream over the phone just to get me to leave his house, it's because I was fucking his sweet ass." Chris took a few steps back, "He is the only person I've ever truly loved. No matter what fucking came at us, whether it be prison, getting shot, or even a zombie outbreak, we kept on loving each other. That's why I married him. He means everything to me." He held out the handle of the knife to his side. Angelo pushed himself away from the wall and walked towards him, taking the knife. "And it's because he means everything to me, that I'm making you pay for what you did to him."

"Please, I'm sorry! I have kids now! Please don't do this! Please, please don't kill me." She begged.

I expected Angelo to go soft or to hesitate. He's always had the most heart out of any of us. I guess you could say he's the only good cop whereas the rest of us fill the bad cop role. That's why his response shocked me.

He spoke so calmly in his gentle voice, "We suffered under your selfish decision. Payback's a bitch."

Angelo drew his hand back. He slashed across her cheek, making blood spray across his chest. She screamed like a little bitch. Normally I like to hear them suffer, but she was just fucking annoying. I changed my attention over to the monitors. Vanessa and Rayne had found one of the towers. Just in time too because Kuza was going to catch up with them quickly.

The warehouse was quiet. Sonny was taking watch as the other two slept. He paced around, seeming somewhat lost in his own thoughts. Not much had changed about him. He was still the same sleezeball he always was, only twenty years older. It's hard to believe it's taken this long... It's almost... Surreal.
