"Kill the bitch!" Leroy said.
"No! I can't. She- She's my wife, I can't kill her!" Nicholas said
"Yes you can. Just take the gun, go up the stares open the door and kill her."
"But- bu-"
"You give her everything and what do you get in return? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! And she cheats on you. since day one she has been cheating on you with every man you've known."
"Thats not true!"
"Yes it is. Bill, Julio at work, the nigger down the street, Phill-"
"Thats not true! Phill would never do that to me."
"Yes it is and you know it! She must die, she deserves to die. You must kill her!"
"Okay, okay. But what about my children? They need a-"
"Their not yours!"
"I don't care, they are still mine."
"They are hers, they have her genes, her lying cheating gen-"

Nicholas then heard police siren

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! Nicholas thought.
"Don't pull over. Don't pull over!" Leroy said.

Ignoring Leroy, Nicholas pulled over. The police officer walked up to the window

"Shoot him, shoot him." Leroy repeated over and over.
"License and registration?" The police officer said.
Nicholas gave the officer his license and registration and said: "I- I know I- I saw the stop sign bu- bu"
"Shoot him. Shoot him!"
"Do you know how fast you where going?"
"We- I- wa- I-"
"80"
"80? Bu that- but I-"
The officer walked back to the police car.
"Shoot him! Shoot him idiot!"
"No! Shut up!"
"He knows. He knows what we are planning. He's calling the other cops, they are going to arrest you!"
"No. How he can-"
"Shoot him! ... Shoot him before he shoots us!"

Nicholas took his gun from the glove compartment. When the officer walked back up to the window, Nicholas shot the officer.

"Now you've done it. You've killed a cop. Now they are going to come after you." Leroy said.
"But you said-"
"What are we still doing here? Lets go! Drive!"

Nicholas started the car and sped away.

Oh god what have I done? Nicholas asked him self. Oh god what am I going to do?
"Kill Marlene."
"What?"
"Kill her, she sent them after you. She sent them to kill you."
"What? No that-"
"Kill her and the problem will go away."
"No, that
"You know she sent them! She sent them to kill you cause she knows we will kill her. You have to kill her to stop them.
We are here now. Go and kill her. Take the gun and kill her"

Nicholas pulled into his drive way.

"She is up there, in your bed with that nigger right now, laughing, thinking the cop has killed you. Go. Kill her."
"What about-"
"It'll be hours before the kids get home, we'll figure out what to do with them once she is dead."

Nicholas got out of the car, gun in hand. He walked up to the door and opened it. He heard the water running. He walked threw the living room, he tuned and walked into th kitchen. He saw his wife in the kitchen, doing the dishes.

"What are you doing home so early?" she asked.

Nicholas lifted the gun and aimed it at her.

"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Kill her. Pull the trigger and kill her!"
"Why? I give you everything. I give you my heart, my soul and get nothing in return!"
"Kill her!"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut the fuck up! Why? Why do you cheat on me. With our neighbors, with my friends. Why?"
"I never cheated-"
"Don't you fucking lie to me!"
"Kill ... her!"

At that point Nicholas heard police sirens.

"You called them didn't you?"
"I didn-"
"You knew what we where planning."
"Open up!" A police officer yelled from the front door, "This is the police!"
"You called them, your told them to kill me!"
"Help!" Nicholas's wife screamed
"Shut up!" Nicholas yelled then pulled the trigger, missing her by less than an inch.

The police busted open the door and ran into the kitchen.

"Drop it!" a police officer yelled,

Nicholas glanced at the officer then looked back at his wife.

"Drop the fucking gun now!" the officer yelled again.

Nicholas looked at the police officer, back at his wife, back at the police officer then back at his wife again. Nicholas then screamed and tuned the gun towards the officers. The officers opened fire.
