In a dark abandoned alleyway, we were facing each other with so focused look that we didn't even let a slightest of movement slide by.
Gasping, I was pointing a gun at him as my sweaty index finger was slightly touching the trigger. I felt as if my finger could slip any moment and the bullet would pierce right through his grinning face.
"Just kill him!" The voice of my uncle came from behind alerting me to kill him right away.
But...
How could I?
I had never held a gun in my entire life before this, and not to mention killing my own big brother? My hands were shaking crazily hinting me not to do it.
"You...why did you kill them?" I asked with a shuddering voice.
My big brother still had that creepy smile on his face as he replied, "Kill? Who?"
"Don't play dumb!" My tolerance also had limits, "Tell me why you killed our parents or I'll shoot you for real."
"Hahahaha, You were talking about those dumb excuses for parents? Yes, I killed them, what of it? What can you do?" His voice rose high as he laughed at me as if he was scared by the gun at all.
"You're just sixteen this year and you're threatening this big brother of yours with that toy? Have you ever killed someone?"
His words made me shocked. It was as if he could read me like a book, but I couldn't let the opportunity slide by. I was searching for him for about 5 years so how could I just let him go?
"I haven't but I don't mind starting off with you. Just tell me why did you kill them?" I said trying to sound dominant... but the fear was still there.
"OK, I'll tell you...Its because I came across a book called 'Rebirth'. It was written that if you kill a family member, then you can successfully reborn in another world. That's all." He said.
"Rebirth? What sort of crap is that?...Then why did you kill both mother and father? You said you needed to kill just one, didn't you?" I said as my finger was just a millimeter away from pulling the trigger.
"Well, you make a point. Hmm...why did I kill both of them? It was fun, that's all." He said.
"What???" My anger had totally crossed the limit barrier, "You killed them just for fun?"
"Hahaha, you didn't expect that? OK, I'll tell you the real reason. It's because..."
"Kill Him!"
BANG~
What? What just happened?
When I realized what had happened, his body was already in the ground, bleeding from the bullet hole in his chest. I had pulled the trigger. My knees touched the ground as if it had no strength.
I gasped clutching my chest so tightly, but the sound of the gun still lingered in my ears.
I had pulled the trigger... I had pulled the trigger right when he was trying to tell the truth? But why? It was on impulse? That's not it?
My finger had moved because of the voice that ordered me to kill him? I looked back at the person to whom the voice belonged and found out that he was as well looking at me with that heinous smile.
Creepy...oh, so creepy.
He also had a gun in his hand, pointed right at my forehead.
"You did a good job, Auden. Good job, but it seems we are going to part forever. Let's not meet again, nephew."
"Uncle, why...?"
But he didn't reply. His face still had that smile as if I had been his pawn all along.
Seeing the gun right at my forehead, my breathing became unstable as my blood ran cold.
Was I going to die just like that? Without knowing what both of them were hiding? What was the truth?
"Adiós!"
BANG~
That day, two people were found dead in an abandoned alleyway, and the killer was still on loose if there was that is.
The police officers concluded that both of them had fired at each other simultaneously killing each other in the process
Case Closed!
