Like Killer, Like Son

I Prefer Living, Thank You Very Much

~Alex~

Another day, and the first day of no killing.

Why didnt I think this through? I'm literally a sociopath! This is probably the hardest thing ive ever done.

I walk into the kitchen when I hear something wizzing by. I stop in my tracks and look to see Philip aiming my pistol at me. I walk over and take it from him.

"First off, don't shoot me below the belt. I will physically cry if you do" I say.

He shrugs then turns on the tv. I put the pistol back in its box before going back to the kitchen. I make a cup of coffee as john walks up to me reading something on his phone.

"Hey Alex? I think this is something you'll care" he says.

"Well what is it?" I take a sip if my coffee.

"Aaron Burr, survivor from being stabbed three years ago, is leading an investigation on finding Alexander Hamilton"

I choke on my coffee. Actually, i think I inhaled some because now my lungs are burning.

"Hold on" i say between coughs. "Burr is alive? How did i not know about this?!"

"I didn't know he was alive either..." He trails off.

"John, what did you do?"

"I may have called 911..."

"Mr. Laurens, you are indeed an idiot"

"Im sorry! I panicked when I saw your "dead" body lying on the ground!"

"That raises another question. How do burr and angelica even know I'm alive?" I ask.

"They probably know that you don't die that easily. And dead bodies dont just disappear"

"Ok one, dying is easy and living is harder. For me, its the other way around. And two, remember what I told you when you asked how many people i killed?"

"No because that scared the ever-living crap out of me" he says.

"Well I said over 51, but not all bodies were found. Now look me in the eyes and tell me bodies can't disappear"

Hes quiet. I think i made my point.

"Now burr im more worried about. He always seems to find me" I mutter.

"Maybe we should move..." He suggests.

"Id rather not. Lets just stay here. Unless there's an actual danger, we'll just be extra careful"

"Hhhh fine"

"Oh and one more thing," i punch him in the crotch. He falks to his knees.

"Thats for not helping me the other day when I accidentally shot my leg.

"I hate you sometimes" he groans.

"Love you to John" I smile and sit next to Philip on the couch.

"Hey can you pass me the remote? There's a new show I want to watch"

Philip passed me the remote and I turn to this show thats supposed to be like Sherlock Holmes but more modern.

~John~

I get up off the floor, still in pain. I continue to read the article thinking that it's a lie.

There's no way burr is alive. He got stabbed in the heart! Sure he went to the hospital, but he was close to death.

And angelica. She probably will stop at nothing to make sure alex is dead. Permanently.

Then again, alex is smart. The smartest person i know, no matter what stupid thing hes trying to teach Philip. He'll think of something. I just hope he doesn't die for real this time.
