The Best Is Yet To Come...Sorta

The Lawn Mower- Part 2

It was time. The men were here.... only to mow our yard. They expect NOTHING!! The murmuring voices in the house vanished.

Officer Green told me to stay put and stay away from the window.......... I went down stairs to look through the dining window.

Officer Green whisper yelled for me to come back, " PHOENIX... GET THE HELL BACK HERE! YOU COULD BLOW THIS!!!"

You see they only reason the lawn men will be suspicious is because I didn't offer them water. I usually always offer them water. I mean, weren't we supposed to make the men not suspect ANYTHING!!!! I'm just doing what I usually do. I walked passed another police officer by the kitchen and he stepped in front of me.

"I usually offer them water. They'll question why I haven't come out yet.", I plainly told the officer.

"No. We can't risk anything."

"EXACTLY!!!!! THAT'S WHY I NEED TO GO OUT THERE!!!!!"

The officer looked at me dead in the eye.

OKAY!!!! He gives me no choice.

I eye the tap water and move towards it. The officer moves to block it. THIS IS MY CHANCE.

I dart to towards the mini cooler which is on the opposite side of the living room. I go for the bottles water instead. HA!!!

The officer starts to go after me. The couch was in the way, so I jumped over it and rolled off the cushions onto the ground. OWWWW! I quickly got back up and ran towards the cooler. I opened it and grabbed three bottles. The officer was working his way around the couch. Man... this guy is slow.

I grabbed the door knob and looked at the officer.

"DON'T YOU DARE GO-"

I walked out the door.

He can't come outside or he'll scare the guys away. I win.

I'm outside the door. I turn and make eye contact with the skinny officer hidden in the bushes. He looked petrified . I took a deep breath and started to walk towards the men.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I drop the bottles of water and fall to my knees.
They have already done the assassination! The Mafia Men are-are DEAD!!!!

I see one man collapsed on the grass bleeding from his ear. Another man had been shot at his spine...PARALYZED! The worst is..... the third guy had been shot in the head. He laid against the white truck with blood spots on it. H-his eyes were open. So much blood. So gruesome. I've never seen this. My body couldn't stop shaking. I couldn't handle the sight. I threw up some water I drank. I stayed on my knees, weak. I couldn't hear anything, but ringing in my ears and echoes of voices.

I was getting picked up by an officer. He was carrying me like a princess.

I barely heard the words he was saying, but it sounded like he was saying..

"Phoenix!!! I'm sorry... I'm sorry. Hang in there! You'll be ok. We shouldn't have let you leave the house."

I slowly looked at the officers face. OFFICER GREEN.

"Phoenix!! I got you. You'll be ok."

"Ok."
"Ok."
"ok."

Okay.

~~~~

I woke up on the couch.

"Phoenix!!", my mom came hugged me.

"Phoenix. We are sorry, we didn't want you to see the process. Unfortunately you walked out to see the result. We tried to get it over with before you and your mother could see anything.", said officer Green.

I would never forget that horrible sight. My eyes began to water.

"I'm sorry I didn't listen Green.", I said quietly.

He came and hugged me.

"No Phoenix, we should have watched you more closely, you were just trying to help."

I returned the hug.

~~~

5 days have passed by since the incident and our grass is growing really long.... REALLY LONG!..... like children of the corn wheat LONG!!!

I was watching some anime when I heard a knock at the door. I opened it to see Officer Green!! OH MY GOSH!!! He was wearing CASUAL CLOTHES!!! A black shirt and blue jeans!!! He had a flannel tied around his waist.......ahhh and boots!!! He looked like a hipster!!!! I threw myself at him for a hug.

"Phoenix!!!! Hey!!", he said lifting me off the ground and swinging me.

"Green!!!!"

"You can call me Alex."

"OHHHHHH AHHH ALEX!"
I was hesitant to say these next words, but I did.

"Alex... you look so... so.."

"Hot?"

"YES! Wait..... NO. Young. I was going to say young."

"Aww man."

"Yeahhhh.... you look young."

"Phoenix! I'm only 23."

"I thought you were 46."

"Shut up Phoenix."

"Sorry."

I looked behind him to see a black truck with a kid sitting in the back.

"Alex? Is that your son?"

"Hell no!!! He's my nephew!"

"Hmmmm ok."

"He's going to be cutting your lawn for you for a while.... ok?"

"Sure. Fine with me."

"Maybe you two could be friends!"

"Uhhhh ok then."

Alex Green smiled at me and waved goodbye. So...... we got a new lawn mower now.

Part 3 coming soon!!😏
