| MURDER??? |
| Jonathan was sitting, waiting for his wife Jean to come home from the pictures, with her brother. She had left the house at 7:30 p.m., and was due back at 9 o�clock. He had the supper ready for her, but at 9:15 she still wasn�t back. Jonathan was starting to get a little worried because he loved his wife so-so much, and did not want anything to happen to her. It was now 10:30 p.m., and he was just about to lift the phone to phone her mobile when � she came bursting through the door. He said, very loudly �Where have you been? You were due back at quarter past 9 it�s now twenty to 11! Where have you been? I�ve been worried sick!� She just came into the house, shut the door, hung her jacket up on the peg and sat down. Just as she was about to give her excuse he said: �Well?� quite loudly but not shouting �I�ve been� at the cinema and-� �Oh I know that but what about after the cinema where did you go.� he asked. �I got �stuck�in a �traffic jam, on the bypass.� �At 9:15 at night?� he replied �Yeah. There was a BIG crash! A lorry got hit� no a car got hit with a lorry! The police weren�t letting anyone past until they had cleared away the wreckage. There was a sudden silence. �So� You were stuck in a traffic jam on the bypass for an hour and a half were you? � he asked dubiously. There was another minute of silence. About an hour yeah� she replied eventually. � So were you there when `this BIG crash` happened?� �No.� �Okay. In the morning we will go to where `this BIG crash` happened, just to see if there is still some glass on the ground or something� was it a big crash by-the-way?� �Yeah it was, they hit head on, and I saw the driver of the car go straight through the windscreen!� she said. �Do you mind me asking how you know they hit head on and how you saw the driver of the car go straight through the window if you were near enough at the back of the queue and if you didn�t see the crash Jean?� She didn�t know what to say. She just sat in her chair looking straight ahead at her very heavy, expensive crystal vase Jonathan had bought her. �Ok-Ok� she said �I admit, I�ve been telling you a lot of rubbish. I�ve been at your cousins.� �Hey! - If I remember right you had an affair with him a few years ago. Is that right? Just after we were married?� �Yeah but you see�� �No buts, Jean� Why didn�t you just tell me you had been�� �NOTHING happened between us tonight� Jean loudly interrupted. �Who ever said you were Jean? I certainly never. Right I think we should just go to bed and talk it over in the morning I�m getting too tired,� Jonathan suggested. � Ok love what ever you say.� Jonathan said to Jean �I�ll sleep in the spare room, tonight� �What ever you say dear,� said Jean Jean went to bed while Jonathan was down the stairs tidying up the food he had made for Jean. When he had tidied up the mess he went up to the spare room to bed. The next morning he woke up at 10 o�clock exhausted by the events of the previous evening. He got up and got dressed quickly and went down stair for breakfast. His wife had left him out toast and Honey and Cornflakes. He sat down and started to eat when he saw his wife walk past with a BIG smile on her face, as if she had done something good. When he had finished he shouted up to his wife �I�m off now!� �Just a minute!� she replied �I�ve something FOR you!� He was still wondering what Jean was up to but anyway she went up stairs to look at what she had to show him. When he was at the top of the stair he saw Jean standing there with that smile STILL on her face. She said: �Wait there I�ll tell you when it is safe to come in.� �Okay� he replied dubiously. He waited there and watched Jean go into the bedroom and shut the door and remembered it was his birthday. �Maybe that�s what she wants to show me my new gold watch I�ve wanted.� About a minute later he heard her shout: �OK its safe to come in now!� He started to walk towards the closed door when he heard her saying: �Come on dear its `Dead` cool� He opened the door a little to see what she was up to, but she was just sitting on the bed with the smile on her face still. So he opened the door more and then he felt sudden pain on his head, and saw pieces of crystal falling to the floor. A few seconds later he fell and died before he hit the floor. �Happy birthday Johnny,� she said and started to laugh� |
