3 O'clock and All's Well
Smoke billowed from the barrel of the Beretta at the end of his outstretched right arm. He stood completely still, frozen in the shock of what he had just done. He had never even fired a gun before. He had never even thought he'd use it. He only bought it for intimidation.
You really fucked up this time, kid.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. The house was supposed to be empty. They had scouted this job for week. What went wrong? Why'd he have to be so fucking stupid and pull a gun? Why was he even there?
"Tim, let's go! We gotta get outta here! The cops are coming!"
You hear that kid? You're gonna get convicted and get the chair motherfucker.
He lowered his arm and stared at the body that was slumped against the wall behind him surrounded by a pool of blood from the hole in his forehead and back of his skull. He could smell the salty scent of the blood as it filled the cool damp air coming through the broken window.
Don't you love it kid? Look at that beautiful sight, motherfucker. Death, man. You smell it? You feel the power? You did that, man.
"Tim, we gotta go man! Now!", his accomplice yelled as he sprinted out the back door. He could hear the sirens getting closer. Still, he couldn't move. I'm only 20 he thought. I can't go to jail. I couldn't have killed him. This isn't real. I couldn't do that. This is just a dream.
Dream? Dream, motherfucker? Well then wake the fuck up. You can't. You pulled the
trigger and blew that guy's brains all over the fucking wall.
He looked closer at the body in front of him that was still twitching from the shock. As he looked closer he realized the guy was just a kid. He was 20 at most just like him. He imagined his body up against that wall looking up at the face of his murderer.
You hear that, man? You're busted motherfucker. You're gonna get yours now. You
know what it's like to have 50,000 volts running through your body?
The sirens were right outside now. In the background he heard two shots fired followed by what seemed to be fifteen.
Looks like your buddy got his, kid. Your turn.
The body fell to one side causing him to jump back and bring him out of the shock induced daze back into reality. He had to figure some way out of this.
"Come out with your hands up. We have you surrounded."
He looked around and saw the room flooded with blue and red lights.
What are you gonna do now, fucker?
Shut up Goddamn it! Shut up! Just leave me alone and let me think!
Think? Should thought of that before you killed the poor bastard.
Fuck you! You don't know anything! He was supposed to be gone! It was supposed to be a clean job!
Quit crying you cocksucking faggot. You got a gun. Use it. Or are you too much of a pussy?
Fuck you! I'm no pussy!
Prove it, bitch.
Tim stood in front of the window and opened fire on the officers in the front, killing two and injuring another. Before they had a chance to fire back Tim had already gotten under cover.
How's that for using a gun? Huh? How do you like that you fucking asshole?
You dumb bastard! You just killed two cops. You know what they do to cop killers?
"This is your last chance son. Come out with your hands up or we're coming in!"
You're fucked man you might as well give up.
Leave me alone!
Silence filled the air for an eternity. Tim crawled to the front door and opened it. Every officer fixed his sight on the black opening.
What are you doing? Are you fucking stupid? They'll kill you on sight!
He stood up and walked out of the house hands in the air still holding the Beretta.
"Put down the gun."
He stopped cold in the middle of the lawn and pressed the cold barrel of the gun against his temple.
Go ahead, kill yourself you cocksucking faggot.
Fuck you. Leave me alone.
"Put down the weapon son. Don't do anything stupid. We'll help you son."
They'll kill you.
Shut up!
They'll take you and they'll beat you to death. Imagine the pain.
Shut the fuck up!
You won't get away. You can't. They'll find you and they'll kill you.
Tim started to press the trigger.
"Wake up Tim."
Huh, what?
"Wake up"
Mom?
"Yes get up"
Mom I had the weirdest dream.
Tell me about it later. The police are here for you. They have a warrant for your arrest.
See, kid. I told you they'd fucking find you.
