Gwen's POV
As I parked my car at the garage of the cafe,I noticed my son Zee playing with some little children.
I wished I had more kids so he could play with them.
Although he was 18,he loved kids alot.
I loved him so much.
I am so glad he looks like me and not that bastard.
Don't worry my dear boy,it would be over soon.
I will save us from that monster!
"Hello Ma'am."
It was Jace.
I forced a smile and turn to see him cleaning his hands on an apron,while jogging out of the main entrance.
"Hello Sir."
It was actually quite comical.
Who knew I would be calling my ex best friend "Sir", in any possible time?
"Please call me Jeff."
He flashed a smile.
Jeff. He goes by his middle name now. I remembered how he called himself the J3, Jim Jeffrey Jace.
It was the weirdest name I had ever heard.
"I'm Mrs Thompson."
He smiled again.
"Are you sure you and I haven't met before. You seem really familiar."
I let out a small laugh.
"Oh please... I don't think I've met you sir.. sorry Jeff."
The son of a b**ch thinks his charm can work huh?
Sorry Jace,but I'm no longer the Gwen you used to know.
"Ok then...I'll see you around Mrs Thompson.I didn't catch your name though.
I forced a tight smile.
"I don't think that would be necessary."
He nodded and began to walk out,at the same time that ugly good for nothing fat idiot husband began to come out.
I smirked,this was perfect for my plan.
"Jeff." I called softly.
He turned to meet my eyes.
"Yes Ma'am."
I walked towards him and gave him a small peck.
He looked confused for a spilt second before amusement filled his eyes.
"Well..well..I should get going."
I could tell he was flustered.
I had made sure that ugly dog saw it all.
I noticed the look on his face with the side of my eyes.
He looked so furious.
I could literally see steam.
I mentally high-fived myself.
You haven't seen nothing yet.
Just wait and see.

Rachael's Pov
I came out of the truck after the traffic was on for about 30 whole minutes!!!!
Could this day get any better?
No!!!
This was a total disaster!
So much for summer vacation.
I swear,I was destined to die today. I didn't die from the accident earlier,I'm sure I was going to die from the heat and frustration that was killing me!
Carl tried to reach dad but his cell was not going through.
"His cell isn't going through."
Carl yelled behind me.
I shot him a look.
"That's not my business!! Try Cami or Mace or the land line or something!!!"
"Calm down girl! I didn't take your fart."
I raised my eyebrows and looked at him through the window, in confusion.
"Wha...what does that even mean?"
He shrugged and placed his phone on his ear.
"Hey Cami..it's me Carl."
He rolled his eyes.
"Real bummer Cami..what.. sure.. Jesus! Cami..NO!! I.. whatever! Just tell dad that we'll be late.
Traffic is holding us up... what the heck! I'm hanging up now!!"
I laughed to myself as I heard Carl's coversation with Cami.
They were quite a bunch.
I walked back to the truck and sat down.
My average weighted frame was clad in a regular oversized neon green shirt and a knee length black jean.
I wore a black face cap which covered my red hair.
"It's a grid lock out there."
I commented.
"What did Cami say over the phone anyway?"
He scoffed and began to tap his fingers on the wheel.
Yup! It was bad!
"Nothing...just regular things crazy psychotic people like her say all the time."
I smiled and rolled my eyes.
"What ever you say."
"PIIMM PIIIIII"!!!!!!
A guy behind us honked his horn.
Seriously why do people do that in traffic?
Do you seriously think that we wanted to stay here?
Like we're traffic lovers or something?
"Speaking of psychos."
Carl whispered and checked the guy out in the rear mirror.
I chuckled a bit.
Seriously, this was the first time in S.J that there was a traffic as thick as this.
I understand that it was a stop-by town for travellers, but this was too much.
The market seemed kind of empty today. I wondered what was going on.
"HEY CARLY! MY MAIN MAN!!"
We both turned to the direction of the voice.
It was Austin,one of our friends here. He was one of Carl's close friends, although we didn't attend the same high school.
Austin was a well built blackie but he wasn't really tall.
He was just about 2 inches taller than I was. He had dyed his hair blue, which looked kind of cute and he had a nice dimple on his left cheek.
I've always wanted a dimple.
"Hey bro!" Carl greeted.
"Man...why are you so loud?"
Austin just smiled and slapped him a high five.
"Hello Aux."
I greeted with a smile.
"Oh..it's you Rake."
I frowned and rolled my eyes.
"Rake? Seriously Austin. You do not want to go down this road!!"
"Oh please... you started this war Rachael."
I hissed and rolled my eyes before giving him a death glare.
"Well,I wasn't the one who told the whole town that I was madly in crush with Sam Smith."
He snorted. Like an actual pig.
"He's gay for crying out loud!! He would not even spare you a glance!!!!"
"And you're his personal manager now right?!!!"
I shot back.
"Well..."
"Cut it out you two!"
Carl interfered.
"Austin,you know better than to argue with 'the kid'."
I paused.
What?
"Uh..Carl..the kid? Seriously?"
He turned to face me.
"I'm trying to be the mature one here ok?"
"PIIMM POMM PIMMM!!!!!"
"WHAT THE HELL'S YOUR PROBLEM DUDE?!!!"
Carl and I yelled at the same time.
Austin waved at the man to calm down and leaned against Carl's window.
"By the way, what's causing the hold up?"
Carl asked Austin.
"Men...it's freaking scary. Man was killed and all his fingers were chopped off and his body dumped in town square."
My eyes widened.
"You gotta be kidding."
Carl burst out in laughter.
"Nice one dude... really funny."
But Austin wasn't smiling.
"I'm dead serious!"
"Why was he killed?"
"How am I supposed to know? I'm no detective. But I heard he beat his wife and daughters up a lot... karma's a b*tch huh."
My heart sunk into my stomach.
He beat his wife and daughter?
Is this a trend?
"This sounds horrible"!!
"Oh please stop exaggerating Rachael."
Carl rolled his eyes.
I ignored him completely and turned to Austin.
"Do you think his wife killed him?"
He shrugged.
"Dunno... serves him right though...he's body was found with a note, written in his own handwriting. Police are carrying out investigations."
Carl smiled.
"Woah..this sounds fun."
Austin and I looked at him like he was dancing in is underwear.
"You know,for someone so tall and manageably looking, you sure behave so stupid that it's scaring me!"
I exclaimed.
"I agree with Rachael. Do you know that travellers would avoid stopping by for a long time,if word gets out? And believe me,word WOULD get out!!"
I nodded in agreement.
"Something we finally agreed on, Austin."
Carl just shrugged.
"At least some thing fun is happening in this town for a change."
"Fun? This...this is fun to you?"
I sighed in utter disbelief.
"I don't know you Carl...we don't have the same blood running in our veins."
I plugged in my earphones and turned on the music.
My stomach churned and deep inside,I knew this was far from over.
I was scared.
