Since the event at the pier I have decided it would be better to move to Zacky’s place. I’ve had to close the chapter with Sarah finally. First she included Roxy in her evil plan against me, just to tear me and Zacky apart and then she even tried to kill my best friend.

That was beyond everything I ever expected from her. There was nothing that could make me forgiving all her actions. It was already enough that the scar would always remind me of that late afternoon at the pier. My shoulder still hurts and even the doctor suggested to rest it I couldn’t resist to start playing on my guitar again. One bad news was following the other. Just one hour ago I got a phone call from my manager that I wasn’t a part of the band any longer.
They were in a hurry to finish the album and start the tour quite soon, so they just replaced me by some really bad guitarist. No one really replace me by anyone, but maybe that was just a sign for me to have some vacation, finally enjoying some time off. I haven’t told this Zacky yet since he decided to do the grocery shopping alone. I liked the fact he takes care of me since I saved his life, as he said, but I never have been used to just sit around and let other people doing stuff for me.

Though Roxy was part of that plan I really felt sorry for her and at the end she even saved us. After all she was a good girl and just fall into the same trap as I probably did some years ago. My parents had always warned me that she was just interested in me because I was famous and she could finally buy all the stuff that she fancied for so long. Love makes people blind and I really had to learn it this way. I just hoped that Roxy was alright and we might would stay in touch after all what we have been through. Someone was knocking on the door and interrupted me in my thoughts.

“You just forgot your keys again” I said to myself expecting Zacky behind the door.

I opened the door with a smile that disappeared within a second when I saw who was actually behind it.

“Sarah! What are you doing here? How do you even know that I’m here?” I leaned against the door blocking the way to come in.

“It’s too easy, darling” she sniffed and dried her tears with a tissue “You have been with him for so many times lately. And I’ve had my doubts that you would go back to our house.”

“Right, but that doesn’t explain why you are here” I shrugged my shoulders still looking in her face.

I was really surprised that I really didn’t feel anything right now. My feelings were totally numb. Some months ago I might have felt sorry for her, but she had a serious disease and needed help.

“Then make it really short. I don’t want to waste my precious time for that.”

“Please let me come in. I have some bad news for you and it is not something that I can tell you here.”

Should I really take the risk and lead her into the house or just leave her here and let her tell me what she just had to say?! After all I’ve met once her other side and the chances were quite high she would try it again.

“Okay 5 minutes only and then you going to leave forever.”

“Thank you” she dropped a curtsy before she came in.

I raised one eyebrow. First being the cold killer and now she knew how to behave?!

“Before you start Sarah, please don’t try any tricks on me or Zacky. You can be really happy that we haven’t talked to police yet but if you just try one more thing, no matter what it might be, I will do everything you go in jail forever.”

“I tried to tell you already at the pier that I’m not here to go on our game …”

“Yeah until you tried to kill Zacky. You really don’t call that evil, right?” I was finding that really absurd that she tried to pretend being an angel again.

“I never had planned this but you both were giving me no chance” she raised up her voice now trying to defend herself.

“No chance?! Sarah” I was coming closer to her pointing my finger straight into her face “You always have been jealous about my friendship with Zacky. You kept complaining about him, why I was spending time with him while you could answer this by yourself. Our relationship was over until it really started. The money was keeping you with me, no feelings or anything else. Do you really think I haven’t noticed that you have had sex with our neighbour?! That same guy that tells you everything after one beer. He told me every little dirty detail, Sarah but I have caught you first.”

“You have absolutely no idea about my feelings. I really loved you, I tried everything that we could have a great future, but you just have been on tour with your stupid band or spending time with your unemployed Zacky.”

I’ve had my doubts that there was actually a reason why she just came here. If there was anything worth to say she would have done it by now, but she rather continues this discussion then telling me what was on her mind instead.

“He isn’t unemployed, but that shouldn’t be your case really. Because it shouldn’t be about him after all. So do you have anything to say or just come here to kill me maybe?”

“Roxy is dead” she whispered and started crying again.

Dead?! That news was hitting me really hard and I had to sit down for a minute.

“In fact you really killed a person now” I wasn’t looking at her right now.

“WHAT?” she seemed incensed by the fact of me suspecting her as the murderer “She died of her injuries. She lost a lot of blood and there was nothing that the doctors could do for her.”
“The last bullet hit her. So it makes you to a murderer in my eyes.”

She gnashed her teeth in anger and clenched her fists as she was about to hurt me again. Sarah knew she would be in trouble soon but tried to convince me that she was the same innocent girl I have met years ago. Maybe even trying to seduce me of giving her an alibi.
Without yelling something back at me again she left the house really fast. Yeah run baby, but that won’t make rescue from all the things you have done.

I grabbed my mobile phone that was lying on the table and dialled Zacky’s number. We better had to act really fast if we wanted to prevent she was leaving the country before the police could charge her.

“Brian, I didn’t forget to buy you some bottles of Absinth” he was joking when he answered the call.

“It’s not about that” I sighed out loud and just noticed that I was slightly shivering “You have no idea who has been here.”

Zacky stayed quiet and I’ve had no idea if I just should go on or wait until he would answer anything to this.

“She said that Roxy died. We both know that her injuries haven’t been that bad. I think that Sarah might killed her. I don’t know why, maybe she was no use anymore or she knew more than we might expected. Even Roxy was part of that plan I’m shattered about this news. We need to go to the police, even we might make us look suspicious when Sarah starts to tell them about us kidnapping Roxy. We would stop someone killing more people. Please Zacky, I know you are really against that thought but it is the only solution right now.”
