Night 5: Someday… (But not today)
He sped through the night, slamming his fist on the dashboard everytime he was stuck at a red light. His mood was somewhere between Anger and Despair, and his actions borderlined on desperate. He popped open the glove box, and pulled out the handgun stuffed inside. The light turned green, and he sped through the intersection quickly towards his destination.
Inside his mind, he couldn’t shake the images he had seen the night before. Justin Timberlake, throat cut end to end, and Nick Lachey, shot through the head. Somebody was on to them, and he was going to take care of them first. It was the only way to ensure his survival.
Why did he even get involved with a bunch of washed up guys? He thought working with James Brown and Justin Timberlake would be something he would never forget for his entire life. He hadn’t imagined it would end up cutting his short. Things had gone downhill fast, but he had to see things through. “One more kill”, he thought, “and I’m safe”.
He screeched up outside the mansion, and jumped out of his car. His eyes went up the long driveway to the house, inside lived the man he knew was responsible for the deaths. The driveway was blocked by a high gate, so he jumped up and began to climb it, tucking the gun into his waistband as he did so.
And in that moment, he felt the hands come on quickly, pulling him down off of the gate, hand clasped over his mouth, while a sharp sensation dug at his throat. He felt something wet running down his shirt.
His throat had been cut. He was unable to breath, not able to speak, and he was getting weak as his blood spilled out all over the concrete. He fell to the ground, face down, sputtering blood out of his mouth. The man who stabbed him flipped him over onto his back with his foot. Delious Kennedy looked up, and stared right into the eyes of the man who killed him.
His eyes went wide. “It can’t be…” was his last thought, as his life slipped away.
The man smiled, leaned down, and cleaned his knife of the shirt of the dead man, whistling a tune as he walked down the street.
The boy band was finished. All of its members were now dead. And the terror was over.
Louis Armstrong was having his morning coffee, reading his newspaper. The headline read “5th Boy Band member killed in the past week: Is the terror over?” He looked over the article with interest. Apparently, it was somehow tied to the James Brown death the week before too. Lous thought that there were definitely a lot of musicians dying lately, and wondered why.
He looked across the kitchen, and saw his lone Grammy sitting on a shelf. He smiled to himself. He was happy with that, there was no need to get back in the game. Retirement was the best thing that ever happened to him.
“Ah, what a wonderful life” he said outloud to himself.
Bang.
Red splattered across the newspaper, and Louis slumped over, dead. Brain fragments slid down the paper, as it became soggy with blood. The man reached over to the table, picked up an apple, and began eating. He spotted the grammy on the shelf, slipped it into his pocket, and checked his gun; only one bullet left. He frowned a little bit. “Better make this last one count,” he thought to himself.
The news of Louis Armstrongs death sent a murmor through the musician community. All the boy band members were dead… so why wasn’t the streets safe? Why were people still dying? Rolling Stone had written an editorial on the matter, and posted it to their website.
“Musicians Still Dying: Is there a serial killer on the loose?”
The man twirled the knife in his hands, smiling to himself as he read the article. He flung the knife quickly across the room, where it landed smack dab on the forehead of a picture of Sonny Bono. He still had quite a bit of work to do.
Delios Kennedy was Cyntalan!
Louis Armstrong was Hecatom!
