Monica and Sarah had only spoken once after they were arrested.And what they discovered shocked them so much that they still couldn't believe it.
Their lawyers were trying to get them bail.It was the only thing they could do.Get them out just for a couple of days.No judge would give them less than a life sentence.
And they both planned to plead guilty.Because they were.They were currently being transported to the closet prison.James had convinced a judge to let him be the one to drive them.
In those two hours,four things happened.One,the vehicle crashed into a tree.Two,Monica and Sarah ran for their lives.Three,James found them and asked them a question that was impossible for them to answer;which one of you stabbed her
He had watched the tapes of the interrogations.To him,it looked like Monica was the one who did it.Sarah was confused and kept insisting it wasn't her.And he believed her.Infact,he believed them both.But Monica kept apologizing, she kept saying her sister didn't deserve it but she never said that she,herself was innocent.
"James please,I can explain"
"I assume you're Monica"
They were both dressed in the same grey pullover and their hair was in a ponytail.He couldn't tell them apart so he asked.He knew he couldn't trust them to be honest but it was all he had.
"Neither of us d..."
James pulled out his gun."I said,which one of you did it?its the only question I asked because its the only thing I want to know"
The fourth thing that happened,is that two sisters that were once separated by jealousy were brought together by death.The love they had for each other made them both want to save the other one.They knew James was serious,and that he probably wouldn't believe the truth.So they did the only thing they could,two sisters protected even other.
"It was me"
"She's lying,it was me"
"Sarah, stop it,you have a child to think about.A reason to live,I don't"
"Yes,you do,you have me"
James looked at them both fighting over who should die and felt his heart break.The scene reminded him of a day his wife and daughter fought.He didn't remember why he was angry that day.Just that he wanted to punish Andy and Sam said he should punish her instead.Both of them kept fighting over who should be punished and James eventually gave up and went to bed.But today he wouldn't.Because one of these women took his only reason to live.
He couldn't be in that house because he kept remembering two people who were no longer there.So he closed his eyes and told them to run.
"What?"
"I said run"
Monica and Sarah looked at each other and knew he'd kill them.They were emotionally drained.They held truth that no one wanted to hear.So they decided to stop speaking and once again find hope in each other.They held hands,turned and ran as fast as they could.
James closed his eyes and opened them again.He pulled the trigger,once.Then again.
