Meat

Chapter 28

It had been months since I last killed, especially since I had two bodies that needed to be eaten, and I paced myself with it. Sissi graduated, and was packing up for college, me and Quinn were going to be juniors, everything was fine.

Until one night, when I heard something. I was in the bathroom when I heard mom and Jim's argument, he was apparently caught cheating. My mom didn't stand for that. Especially after marriage.

And sure, that pissed me off, but it didn't send me over the edge. It didn't piss me off completely. I know my mom can handle herself. What did piss me off was when I heard him slap her. When I heard her cry out in pain. When I heard him yelling at her, and continue to slap and hit her.

That was the final straw for me. As anyone could tell, I hated domestic violence, I know so many people who have taken their lives or left their houses because of it.

I knew Jim was my next victim. But I needed to plan my attack. I needed to have a plan for this one. A well thought out plan. Because since I know him, I have the risk of being a suspect. I would have to take extreme precaution. There have been a lot of missing people's cases lately, so the police are patrolling the town like mad. They're everywhere.

Since I've been planning this for the past month, I've been keeping a low profile. I figure if he just up and disappears, no one will question it because him and my mom are having problems. But he's the type to talk to Q first, he's the type to talk to Sissi and the boys first, which makes this difficult. They would be suspicious if he didn't say anything to them, and of course, if he doesn't actually plan on leaving, he wouldn't say anything.

I decide to steal his phone and write a long ass, apologetic text to everyone, including myself and my mom. Now the issue is, will they believe it?

Although for the past two years I've known Jim, he's very kept to himself, very quiet. He is open with his kids, but I'm not his kid. I don't know how he acts when he's upset.

I would just have to use basic psychology, and maybe make him look like an asshole while doing it. I don't want Quinn to be upset, and honestly, I don't want Sissi to be upset either. But, it's one more asshole off the face of the earth.

In one of my notebooks, I've created the plan. Whoever he's cheating with meets him at a bowling alley downtown every Thursday night. If I could somehow get to him, either before or after he meets this mystery woman, maybe I can make a convincing case. It's Wednesday today, so he should be meeting her tomorrow night. He usually stops by the house for about an hour to freshen up, when my mom isn't home, of course.

Jamie and I have been hanging out a lot lately, and he drove me to the bowling alley for a date with Anastasia. While there, I scoped the place out. Jim's car isn't hard to find. He has necklaces and a smelly tree hanging from his rear view window, and the car had a flake over it's forest green exterior.

I decide I'll ask Jamie to give me a ride tomorrow for another date with Ana, and I'll just wait for Jim. Maybe I can do it after so he can do whatever with this woman before he goes.

Jim has a spare key in the basement to his car. Everyone does, they're "emergency keys", as he calls them. I can just take those, sneak into his car, and when he's about to drive back home, I'll get him. I have all day tomorrow to get some supplies. I have some left over saran wrap and my hammer of course. I'll just ask my mom for twenty bucks for "lunch" with Ana tomorrow, since we usually order pizza. 

I close my notebook and put it in the drawer of my desk. I change into my pajamas and lay down in my bed, ready for the big day tomorrow.
