"I'm going to roll myself up,
In a big ole ball,
And die," 

   I jump up off of my couch, breathing heavy, sweating very bad, and holding my chest. It was all a dream, just a fucking dream. No more steak and milk before bed and I have to take my pills next time.
   "Bad dream?" I hear a voice say from the left side of me, I look over and it's Selena, the kid, great. I wake up from a heart racing dream to now a kid talking to me. This has to be my best morning yet in my life.
   "No, it was great." I answer as I stretch out on my couch.
   "Doesn't seem like it." She replies. She's getting on my nerves already.
   "Well, I don't know what to tell you kid." I say as I get up and head towards the kitchen, I stop in my tracks and look at the little brat. "You want to see a magic trick?" I ask her.
   "Sure." She answers. I pull my gun out of my waistband and hand it to her. Her eyes get big but she takes the gun.
   "Now, the trick is to hold the gun with both hands, hold it tight. Especially, if somebody is coming at you." I explain to her. She is speechless but I can tell she's listen. "You want to aim at your target, breathe in, breathe out slowly, ready, set, and pull the trigger." She pulls the trigger, hears the click, and it made her jump a little.
   "See? Magic. Now, watch this." I say to her as I grab the gun. "Here's the real magic trick. I am invincible, I can not die, and I am going to prove it to you Ms.Selena." I say as I put the gun in my mouth. Selena eyes gets big and her mouth opens up wide. I pull the trigger and she covers her eyes.
   "See? I can not be killed. Watch I'm prove it to you again." I say to her as I turn my back and load the gun. "Now, I'm giving you the gun, pull the trigger, and I promise you I won't die." She looks at me with full confidence, breathes in slowly, aim at me and here it comes the day that I DAY THAT I DIE! The day that everybody has been waiting on. The day the hero of Clerksville dies. I close my eyes waiting to keep my eyes closed permanently.
   "HEY! HEY SELENA WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" Victoria yells as she ran towards Selena, grabbing the gun, and picking her up. Selena starts to cry as she hugs Victoria.
   "Why did you give my DAUGHTER your gun?! What kind of a man gives an eleven year old a gun?!" Victoria screams at me. "WHY WAS SHE POINTING THE GUN AT YOU TOO?!"
   I look at her for a few seconds. Trying to hold back my smile, and laugh. "I was showing her a magic trick." I say as I shrug my shoulders. "Can I have my gun back?" Unless, you want to finish the trick yourself?" She looks at me with a disgusted look. She throws the gun at me and walks towards my door. Selena looks at me as she hangs over Victoria's shoulder. Selena waves bye at me and I bow down to her. Victoria slams my door. That's very, very rude! I hate rude people! Just breathe Unceal, just breathe. That should teach her to not bring kid around me, now she knows.


*Police Sirens*

   I look out of  my window and see a cop car right in front of my apartment building.  They must be here because of what happened last night, just like Clarksville's police always late. Should I leave or should I go? Um, decisions decisions. I think I will stay, I'll use the makeup that Sandra gave me. I honestly don't know what I am doing but I can just cover up my scar right? Shouldn't be that hard. Make sure I don't wear my hat, hide my gun, keep my temper in check, and all things should go well. Make sure I put on my happy face, I put on my non threatening face. I have to become Alex Burgess, I am Alex Burgess soon as I cover up my scar and have my hair out I become Alex Burgess. This is so exciting.
*Knock Knock*

   Looks like I have a visitor wonder who could it be. I head towards the door and look through the peephole. Sandra? This isn't Sandra she doesn't know where I live. This can not be here, this lady looks just like her. I open my door.
   "Hello, can I help you?" I ask the lady at my door.
   "Hello, sir I am detective Sam Brooks. I am interviewing everybody on this floor due to a noise complaint, calls from this floor about an altercation, and  a man being treated at Clarksville General Hospital for a broken nose. The man said the person who did that to him was on this floor." The detective explains to me. Sam Brooks? Sam Brooks? Oh my! Look at what I have. This is Sandra's sister which means this is detective Stepahine's partner right here in front of me. In my apartment doorway.
   "Oh I heard that, that happened last night if I am not mistaking." I say to her giving her a friendly grin. "What time do you have?" The detective looks at me with a glare.
   "It's 11:57." She answers. "Can I come in and ask you a few questions? It won't take long."
   "Sure, come on in.' I say as I gesture her to come in. What am I going to do to her? There are so many things I can do right now! The excitement is running through my blood.
   "Nice place you have here, you live alone?" She ask me as she head towards my living room.
   "Yes, of course. I couldn't imagine having a roommate and or a girlfriend. I like to have my space." I reply back to her. "Want anything to drink? Water? Milk?"
   "Um, no I am fine." She politely declines. "I know that's not the milk with the xanathine in it? If so I'll have to arrest you." OH NO SHE CAUGHT ME RED HANDED!
   "Do you want to try some to test it yourself? Because if I say yes or no would you actually believe me?" I say as I slightly chuckle. She looks at me with a confused look. Looks like she doesn't believe me but it also looks like she does believe me. What will she do? If she takes a sip of my milk I will attack her and things will end bloody but things will end or she can believe me, we can get on with the questions and go on about our day.
   "I'll believe you for now, we'll see if I believe you after I question you." She says as she gets her little journal out.
   "Shall we begin?" I say as I sit down on the love seat, the only thing separating me and Sam is my coffee table.
   "Where were you between the hours of 10:00pm and 1:00am?" She ask me as she gets ready to write.
    "I was heading home after meeting a group of my friends." I say quick and easy.
   "Were you here when the noise and altercation happened?" She ask me, she had already asked me this five minutes ago. I guess she wants to see if there's any holes in my story. I know all the tricks lady.
   "Yes I was here. I heard the noise, it was loud, and distracting. They were messing with my alone time. I love my alone time." I answer. "You have beautiful eyes by the way." She looks at me for a quick second and then back down to her journal.
   "Why didn't you call the cops when you heard the altercation?" She asks me, ignoring my last statement.
   "I try not to be in other people's live action dramas. I like to stay in my own live action drama, I don't want any crossovers. That's the best way to live life, you know?" I say with a charming smile.
   "Uh huh, do you know anybody who would do that to that man last night?" Sam ask me.
   "Maybe the person he got into the altercation with. That's the only person I can think of that would something like that." I say to her. "Is there anymore questions you have for me?"
   "Actually that'll be all I have for you." She answers. "Have a nice day ... what's your name again?"
   "Alex Burgesses." I say as I grab her hand, kiss it, as I keep eye contact with her. "Come by anytime and ask me anything you want." She snatches her hand from me and walks towards my door. I guess I went too far, oh well worth a shot.
   Before she leaves she hands me her busy card "if you have any more information to give me, give me a call." I took the card.
   "Will do." I say as I close the door. This makeup stuff actually works. Sam didn't even recognize me. Well, that was easy.

*knock knock*

   Who could this be now? Why is everybody coming to my door?! I need to put a sign on it "do not knock, unless you want to get shot." I hate having visitors, especially unannounced visitors. Wait ... maybe she did recognize me! What if this is a trap by Sam and Stephanie? I start to pace back and forward. Should I just shoot at the door whoever is behind it is just a victim of Circumstances? Should I just run away, jump out the window? Aw fuck! Ah shit! Ah shit! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! I can't think!

*knock knock*

   Stop knocking! My head is throbbing. I don't want to kill Stephanie just yet or kill Sam I haven't had my fun yet! My plans, my plans are ruined! Shit! Shit! If I look out the peephole can they see me? Of course not Unceal you fucking idiot!  Just answer the door! Shut up! Shut up! Okay Unceal breathe, breathe you got this. Just look out the peephole and relax. Alright, alright I got it.
   I head over to the peephole, grabbing my gun in the process, I look out the peephole and it's Victoria. What does she want now?
   "Yes how can I ..."
   "You're Unceal Crow aren't you?" She says with a confident voice. How the fuck did she figure that out? Well, it's time to kill her.
   "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know who that is." I answer grabbing the gun in my back pocket.
   "Don't play dumb with me! I know exactly who you are. You're a murdering asshole. I'm going to turn you into the police soon as I get the chance too." She says towards me with an aggressive tone. I squeeze the gun. I really don't want to kill her but I don't want to do a lot of things, stuff things to get done so. I start to raise the gun out of my back pocket with my finger on the trigger. Me and Victoria are locking eyes. The tension is thick.
   "Mommy I'm hungry." I hear Selena say down the hallway. Victoria breaks eye contact with me and looks down the hallway. "Okay sweetie mommy's coming." She says as she walks away.
   "Have a nice day today, you'll need to enjoy it." I say in a sarcastic tone. I close my door and grab my cell phone. I call Johnathan.
   "Unceal what's ..."
   "It goes down tomorrow. We hit Tony Russo's bank tomorrow. Meet me at the abandoned shelter in Murderers Row 12:00pm." I say before hanging up the phone.
   I call Blitz phone. "What's up Uncea .."
   "We kill Johnathan tomorrow family included. Buy a new phone, and throw this one away. Buy duct tape, gloves, gasoline, a lighter, and rope. Meet me at the abandoned shelter at 12:00 pm." I say to him before hanging up. I put on some random clothes. Black t shirt, black jogging pants, a baseball hat, sunglasses, and some black boots. I rush out the door way, I look back, and see Selena looking at me. I give her a thumbs up, poor brat doesn't know what's coming. I rush down the steps and head out the main door.

*An hour later*

   I arrive at the makeup shop where Sandra works at. I walk into the store looking for Sandra. I can not seem to find this lady. Heading towards the back of the store I see Sandra. I tap her on the shoulder to get her attention.
   "Hello sir how can I ...." I put my hand over her mouth.
   I whisper in her ear. "12:00pm at the abandoned shelter, bring a lot of your people. I have something big planned and I need your help. Bring guns, lots of ammunition, and bring your beautiful self." I take my glasses off, uncover her mouth and give her a big kiss on the lips. I need some kind of affection right now and rather she likes it or not she had just given me what I needed. "What's your number too? We have to keep in contact." I add. She doesn't say anything she grabs a pen, a piece of paper, jots down her number, and hands it to me. I nod my head and head out the door. I throw down my cell phone breaking it in the process. Time for a new season in my tv show
