Mental (Lams)

Chapter Eleven

John Pov
"I don't like this game." I muttered.
"I do!" Alex exclaimed.

"See John, your on the side of the angels. I thought, you were different." He said.

"But you're not! And god damn it I'm bored again!" He screamed.

"I thought you'd try to put up a fight, outsmart me, and somehow..
win. But NO!" He shouted, waving his hands around.

"How'd you do it?
The glass?
What'd you say to Burr?
To Peggy?" I asked softly.

He put his trench coat back on.

"On a scale from one to ten how boring is it in your brain? I mean, I thought I had it bad-"

"Just answer the damn question, okay?" I growled.

He glared at me.
Then he chuckled and looked at his feet, which were dangling off the edge of the building.

"You don't have to be rude Jacki." He said.

"Don't call me that." I hissed, getting up.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because we are not friends. I'm practically a hostage right now." I said.

"You can leave if you want. But you'll never find out how I did it.
The glass.
Peggy.
Burr.
Burr committed suicide yesterday, if you didn't know my good sir." He said.

I looked back towards the stairs and then back at Alex.
I sat down.

"What'd you say?" I asked.
"With Peggy or Burr?" He asked.

"P-Peggy." I said softly.
He smiled.

"Botulinum." He replied.
"What?" I asked.

"You say 'what' a lot. It's cute." He said, running a hand through his hair.

How does this man go from extremely insane and off the walls,
to childish,
to laid back,
to all flirty?

He just fucking killed Peggy!
I mean..sort of.

"What the hell is botulinum?"
I growled.

"The most lethal toxin know to man!" He said happily, in his little sing song voice.

He kicked his feet back and forth.

"Why did that scare her? Is that all you said? Botulinum?" I asked.

"Forgive me for not mentioning this in our therapy sessions, but I afterI killed Eliza,
Peggy's sister,
or at least got her to commit suicide, I killed Peggy's best friend with botulinum." He paused to smile to himself.

"I pushed him in a pool and due to the fit that he started to have because of the toxin, he couldn't swim. He drowned. Very, very slowly. I assume it was painful." He explained like it was an everyday thing.

Well guess fucking what?!
ITS NOT.

"You're cute when you're scared. Nah. You're always cute." He said.

"W-what about Burr?" I asked.

"Oh that was a bit harder.
Only a little teensy bit.
He's got smarts. Sure he's clever, but not enough to keep me entertained." Alex said.

"Anyway, when he got me pens I just played the sympathy card.
Humans have that.
Who would've guessed."

Nice sarcasm you've got there Alex.
Especially since you're a SOCIOPATH.

"Anywho, he gave me the paper, I gave you a warning. He quit because he was scared that I'd manipulate him again. The fear got to him and he killed himself. I didn't have to do much. I laid back and watched the world burn.
I'll do very nicely in hell." He told me, nodding his head.

Yeah.
Yeah you will.

"The glass? How'd the glass just disappear?" I asked.

The glass is what really amazed me.
It's what I really wanted to know.

"Nothing just disappears Jacki. I've told you two things.
Two,
great,
great things.
But the glass, I won't tell you."
He said.

"Why not?!" I exclaimed.

"Because it's what you want from me. And I'm never going to fucking give you the satisfaction of getting what you wanted. I never got what I wanted.
I never fucking win."
He growled, staring blankly ahead of him.

He jumped to his feet.

"You're a fucking lunatic." I whispered.

"You've figured me out! Wow! Congratulations to you!" He shouted, waving his arms around.

He walked towards the stairs then turned around. I got up.

He sprinted to the edge of the building.

"WAIT!" I shouted.

He jumped.
