Affairs of Death (PART III of Death)
Story by Daisy

Death is a shadow that veils you like a peaceful sleep...or a nightmare.

Chapter Eight

          Leighanne drove madly towards downtown. She had received a chilling call telling her exactly where she could find Brian. But the last sentence sat unsettling in her mind. “He’ll be hanging around up where you can see him.”

          Up? What was up? Upstairs? Upstreet? Uptown? Leighanne drove anyways and her stomach tightened as she neared the intersection that the caller had told her about.

          And then she saw him. “He’ll be hanging around up where you can see him.” The words screamed in her mind. Screaming, she slammed on the brakes, the wheels turning because of the slick roads. Her car came to an abrupt stop when her back tires hit the pole that Ebony had tied Brian to.

          When the force of the car had hit the pole, the knots had come loose, coming down from the pole and dragging Brian’s limp body down with it onto Leighanne’s windshield.

It was the third funeral that Nick had been to in the past two months. It was sickening to know that someone out there had wanted Kevin, Howie, and Brian dead and had done so. He placed his hand on Brian’s casket one last time.

          “I promise, Rok.” He whispered quietly, a single tear rolling down his cheek. “I won’t let whoever did this to you and Kev and Howie get away with it. I promise.”
