Crime Funny Thriller

(Sal)

Ok I promise this year is the year. I am done doing that, this is my last one… new year me I got this, you hear that? Your are my last victim how does that feel? You are very special to me I love you. 

*mumbled talking *

What’s that you say? You are honored to be my last ! Haha well you should be I picked you for this very special occasion in fact you can say I hunted you … I remembered when I first seen you with your wife and kids and thought wow what a perfect family I was with mine you know but I never liked them don’t worry they’re fine I would never hurt them hahah 

My wife thinks i am at a business retreat or some shit gotta make sure I make it back for my kids play though you know an absent father tends to leave some unwanted issues with the kids haha 

But anyways enough of me what’s going on in your head? 

*mumbled talking *

Oh yea foolish me haha you can not speak with a mouth full of cloth haha let me help you out. 

*Removes cloth*

(Peter)

You’re sick what the fuck is the point of this? You want my family? My life? You sick fuck if I get out of this I will fucking kill you! 

(Sal)

Lmao. You might want to calm down… you are in no position to talk to me like this you are all tide up if you could not tell your chances of escaping is very slim so you might want to start praying to whoever you believe in and if you play nice I might let you talk to your wife one last time. 

(Peter)

Fuck you. 

(Sal)

*sigh * 

I tried to be nice but nooo they always have to be so mean to me well that’s ok I like to be mean also haha. 

I have a gift for you 

*removes picture frame out of bag*

Don’t we make such a beautiful family haha 

Yes so beautiful ill give them a little time to mourn then ill make my move 

(Peter)

What makes you think my wife would want a creep like you?

(Sal)

You know the last two men said that and you know what? They where right 

(Peter)

Last two men? 

(Sal)

Yea you’re not my first rodeo haha I tried this once or twice and it failed miserable stupid bitches couldn’t see how great of a catch I am so you know I had to take care of them. 

 I don’t like rejection you know haha

So I decided to work on your wife a little early to see if she was truly happy with you and let just say we are a perfect match haha 

(Peter)

You’re a monster!

(Sale)

Aren’t I haha sometimes I scare my self sometimes. 

(Peter)

What about the kids?

(Sale)

Oh do not worry, I consider myself a high morale person I would never harm the children. 

Well until they turn eighteen then I might return depends on how bad the parents pissed me off haha.

*looks in horror *

(Sal)

Why that face? At least I give them a fighting chance kids are too easy but a nice strong eighteen year old can put up a real fight. 

You where a little disappointing tho I mean I just hit you upside the head with a nine iron and poof you was out like a light I mean no fight at all I was training for weeks you seemed so strong from afar. 

(Peter)

Yea well try being blind sided in your own home and see if you would be left standing. 

(Sale)

Blindsided? Good sir I was in plain sight the entire time it is not my fault you are so …oh what’s the word

Unprepared? No thats not it 

Unequipped? No that’s not it either… oh forget it it’ll come to me one day lets hope you’re still here when I do. Haha 

But anyways lets get this party started 

*removes knife from cabinet *

You see this? *shows engraved knife * I got this made especially for you I knew you where special you are my last.. kinda sad if you really think about but think i am done with this game and ready to start another its my New Years resolution I am starting a new, haha. 

(Peter)

Wait! Before you start you said you wanted a fight well I am one hell of a fighter you snuck one on me last time lets fight and if I win you let me go I mean I am your last just killing me seems like such a waste. 

*thinking *

(Sal)

That do sounds kind of fun but what do I get? I mean I can kill you right now without the hassle why would I make it harder on myself. Haha

(Peter)

You said you were a high morale man killing me like this is cowardly.

(Sal)

I am no coward! 

(Peter)

Prove it then… untie me and let’s fight like men!

(Sal)

You realize if I untie you the only out is kill me? I don’t think you have the balls for that.

(Peter)

Well let’s find out. 

Haha lets. 

*unties *

Now what?

(Sal)

Now my friend you have to kill me and i’ll even give you a little motivation if I win I will kill your family too and bury then right next to you… I guess that could be a good or bad thing depends how you look at it. Haha

(Peter)

You know this is an opportunity I never thought I would have ill tell you what you can have my family I’ve been cheating on my wife for two years anyways fuck em to be honest with you. 

(Sal)

Wait...Are you serious?

(Peter)

As a heart attack you even said my wife don’t love me so why would I care?

I mean save the kids they really done nothing to me but I just learned the littles one name so I’m not that attached it yet. 

(Sale)

Wow, your a monster !

(Peter)
