Chapter 3 - Unstable 2

William grabbed any sharp weapon that he could find and headed to his wife's car. He bought some rope as well as a few other things that would "put his victims to sleep."

After preparing his weapons as well as his mentality, he spent the next fifteen nerve wracking moments driving to the address of his wife's killers. He parked his car in front of what was an abandoned warehouse and began walking with his entire pack of torture devices. 

William didn't know it, but a crazed smile crept onto his face.

William walked into the warehouse cautiously as he followed the distant voices which led him into a room with three people in it.

"Who's our next target?" one of them, who was the only male, asked.

"Not sure," another one, who was a female, said. "Not really many other people out there who have sinned."

Isn't that a good thing though?" the third one, who was also female, asked.

"I mean yeah, but I kinda miss the killing already."

"I know what you mean," the man said. Seeing their gritty and horrific expression is the most beautiful thing ever to witness. Just thinking about it makes me...I can't! I have to kill someone!!!"

The man suddenly started laughing hysterically as he swung his knife around.

"You're all sick." William said as he emerged from the shadows.

"WHO'S THERE!!!" one of the women asked as they saw William emerge from the shadows holding what looked like three bags filled with a strange liquid. When the bags hit them, they burst open and the liquid splashed all over them.

"AAAUUGHH!! IT BUUURRNS!!!"

They all screamed in agony as they all clawed at their eyes trying to get the burning to stop. William then took the opportunity to grab a pipe from his bag and knock out all three of them.

The trio of murderers woke up to find themselves tied up to three separate chairs. William stood in front of them watching them with a sharp eye. 

"Finally awake?" William asked when he saw one of them open their eyes. 

"How did you find us?" one of them asked.

William showed them the piece of paper that he found in his house.

"YOU DROPPED IT JOSEPH?!?!" one of the girls shouted at the guy who's name was Joseph.

"I didn't know. I was in a hurry." Joseph said.

"YOU IDIOT!!!" the other girl shouted.

"QUIET," William shouted. "I'll be the one asking the questions, so listen to me only."

The trio stopped talking and looked at William with worried looks in their eyes.

"I actually only have one question," William said. "Why did you kill my wife?"

"Hey, I know you," Joseph said. "You're the one that we called up a few hours ago. How's the wife doing?"

William completely snapped and landed a hard blow straight to the side of Joseph's face with the pipe. He coughed up a bit of blood and kept his mouth shut after that. 

"I don't think any of you understand the situation that you're in," William said. "I'm going to make sure that you feel a far worse amount of pain that you made me feel."

"Let me guess: You're going to torture us with a bunch of sharp tools." one of the girls said.

"HEY! Don't give him any ideas, Teeth!" the other girl said.

"Give me a break Remi," Teeth said. "His idea is so cliche that it probably won't even hurt."

William sighed at their arguing and looked around the room to see if he could use anything. He didn't want to use his sharp tools after what Teeth had just said. He then spotted a picture of what looked like a family on a mirror. When he got a good look at it, he saw two people who appeared to be husband and wife as well as four younger people who looked to be kids.

"Is this a picture of your family?" William asked the arguing trio.

"Yeah, so what? We all have family." Teeth said.

William saw numbers arranged into a phone number behind the picture.

"How about we give them a little call?" William said as he got an idea.

"Wait...what." the three said at the same time.

William dialed the number and waited until he heard someone pick up. He made sure to do a FaceTime so that whoever picked up could see what was happening.

"Hello?" said a woman as she appeared on screen.

William wasted no time and turned the phone to the direction of the trio who were tied up to the chairs.

"Wh...What is this?!" the woman said completely shocked.

"Would you three like to tell your mother what you do for a living?" William asked them as he deepened his voice.

"MOM, HANG UP THE PHONE," Joseph shouted to his mom. "DON'T LISTEN TO HI-!"

William picked up a pipe and swung it at Joseph again. Joseph coughed up more blood and kept his head down. William then walked up behind Joseph and pointed a gun at the side of his head. William kept the phone in front of Joseph with his other hand.

"Want to tell her before you die?" William asked Joseph.

After a few moments, Joseph picked his head up and confessed.

"We murder people who've sinned in their lives," Joseph said. "I guess we could never get over what happened to dad. I'm sorry."

Joseph apologized to his mother with a smile on his face. It wasn't a smile filled with insanity, but a smile filled with sorrow and genuine regret.

The mother of the three didn't say anything. She couldn't say anything. She was too shocked.

"You don't get to be sorry." William said.

BANG!!!

William pulled the trigger and Joseph's head shot backwards before falling as far as it could backwards.

A few moments later, the mother of the three hung up.

"Well, that's a shame," William said. "I wanted to break you guys a little more than this."

William then casually shot the other two dead and threw the gun away.

Suddenly, William felt dizzy. He stumbled on his feet before he suddenly fell backwards
