Like Killer, Like Son

We're All Idiots and We Don't Care

~Alex~

"Ok pip, lesson number two. Well technically two lessons. Freefalling and tuck and roll"

He looks at me from the front lawn.

"Why are you on the roof?" He asks.

"Simple. Sometimes after a murder you need to make a quick exit and your only exit is  somewhere high away from the ground. An example being when we escaped and I nearly died."

"So youre going to jump off the roof?"

"Exactly"

"You realize how stupid that sounds, right?"

"Right you are! But I honestly don't care"

He takes out his phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Recording you're death"

"Wow, real mature." I walk away before sprinting and jumping off the roof.

I pull in my legs roll on the ground before quickly standing up like nothing happened. I brush off my pants and look at Philip.

"And that son, is how you survive falling off a building"

John runs out the house with a panicked look.

"Alex! Angelica wants you dead!" He shouts.

"Well that puts us in quite the predicament. Oh! Maybe I can just kill them! Thatd get rid of our problems"

"Alex no. You cant just kill everyone that gets in your way"

"Why not? Its quick, it's effective and all i need is a knife"

"Alex you're such an idiot" he facepalms. "You can't just kill them. One, that's the most reckless thing I've heard you suggest, and that's coming from you. Two, she'd probably defend herself"

"Well good sir, what do you think we should do?"

"No killing"

"Pfft yeah, id like to see alex pull that off" Philip says.

"Shut up I can do that!"

"Please, i bet 20 bucks that you cant kill anyone for a week"

"Youre 12, do you even have 20 dollars?"

"Well considering i have your wallet, yes"

I feel around in my pockets but im not surprised my wallet is gone.

"Clever. That wasn't even my wallet though. That was laurens'"

"Hey give that back!" Philip tosses John's wallet to him. "We need to focus on the situation at hand."

I take out my knife and continuously throw it in the ground.

"Do we have to though? I mean, its been 3 years and she doesnt know where we are. I'm almost certain we're in the clear"

"Yeah, almost. She could appear at any moment" he growls.

"How do to even know this?"

"She texted me. I think she meant it as a warning if i saw you"

"I doubt she'll even recognize me!"

"Ehh there's a 50/50 chance. You don't look that different. Just be careful when you're out of the house."

"Yeah, yeah" I sigh. "Anyways about that bet, I accept! But I'll up the ante to two weeks"

"You're on!" Philip says.

"I guess we're ignoring that angelica wants to kill you, Alex"

"Yep!" I exclaim.

Yeah, angelica can sail off to london for all i care. If she even comes close, I have a knife and pretty decent aim.

And i may or May not be teaching Philip to be like me.

Either way, I dont plan on dying. Under no circumstances. Nope. Not at all.

...

Why do i feel like im going to die now that I doubted it?
