Retaliated: Chapter 38

~Arlie P.O.V.~

Getting closer to the scene, I was back on Tilly Beans' block, looking around more cop cars arrived and even two ambulances. With quite a bit of people surrounding the house, I tucked my gun away and pushed my way through. Ignoring whatever these niggas were saying but I was stopped by two officers by the time I got to the end of her driveway.

"You can't go past this-"

"What the fuck happened here?" I asked trying to get by but they wouldn't budge. "That's my wife's house and my wife inside, what the hell happened?!" I yelled starting to get more agitated. They looked at each other and nodded, motioning for me to follow them in through the garage where I saw a smear of blood on the door of the lambo, wasn't enough but as if a quick swipe. There was yellow crime scene tape around the car- around the whole house now that I look at it.

"We're not sure what happened, the woman inside, who much be your wife, hasn't said anything-"

"I'll get her to talk just give me a few minutes with her. Where is she?" One officer stepped off to the side to talk into his walkie-talkie thing pinned on the pocket of his uniform as the other opened the garage side door, leading into a short hallway with the kitchen at the end. Sitting on the ground on her knees staring off into nothing was Tilly Beans. Her hands bloody as well as her clothes and her make up running down her face. "Just leave me alone with her." I said to him and he nodded. Making a gesture to get the other cops out of the kitchen. "Tilly Beans? It's me, Arlie." I said as I stepped up to her, crouching down but her eyes remained stuck on the ground. "Are you hurt?" She nodded her head ever so slightly. "Where? Can you show me?" She picked up her hand and pointed to her chest. "Your chest?" She shook her head. "Your heart?" She nodded. "What's the problem?"

"He killed them, Trell." She said finally bringing her bloodshot eyes up to mine. "My conscious knew he was going to and it happened." Her voice so quiet I could barely hear her. "It actually happened and I watched it happen."

"What?" She nodded again. "Where is he? I swear I'll spread out his suffering over the course of a couple months. Put him at the brink and then have Dr. Varito make him recover just to do it again-" She shook her head. "Don't tell me he killed hims-" She nodded. "I'm so sorry, Tilly Beans." Dropping completely down to my knees, I wrapped my arms around her, holding her real close. "Did he say anything to you?"

"He couldn't stand suffering by watching me completely slip away from him to you, so I deserve to suffer as well by him taking the kids with him." She continued to say. "We were out in the sandbox, I had gone to the chairs, not even a whole fifteen feet away, grabbed the little shovel packs so they could pretend to be those people who dig up fossils. I saw King at the back door just standing there and I asked what he wanted, he said those words and then shot them. He killed himself after and I picked up both kids, frantically running inside and I set them down on the living room floor so I could call for help but the phone must have fell on the floor of your car so I went out there but couldn't get the door because I was freaking out so I screamed for the neighbor to call nine one one and then they showed up- It all happened literally in under a minute. From me going to the chairs to then the neighbors- all under a minute maybe two at most."

"That's unbelievable, I don't even know what to say. Do you need to go to the hospital for-"

"No I don't need to go, I'm fine physically but I'm just... I've seen a lot of death in my life but this one just... I don't know." Her voice now sounding defeated but filling with guilt. "I want everyone to leave my damn house already. No need to investigate shit."
