me.
“What did he have you do?” Sam
asked.
“See, we met these two girls at
the bar a few nights back before the world went balls deep crazy. Wayne, now he
really liked that blonde, think her name was Cat or something, but the redhead
kept getting in his way.” Aaron said as he lowered his arms to his sides.
“How does that get us here?”
Sam asked.
“I’m getting there. He bought
her drinks and was trying to get Cat to go home with him but she said no. He
was pissed and still reeling about it when we found the girls after being bit last
night.” Aaron explained. “Wayne told them he’d help them and they would be okay
they just had to come home with us where he had the supplies. He got them to
this house and down to the basement.”
Aaron took a breath and looked
between Sam and Sydney.
“Wayne got them to let him zip
tie their hands. He told them it was for his safety, since cleaning the bites
was going to hurt. Soon as their hands were tied he knocked them out.” He
continued.
“What happened then?” Sydney
asked.
“He started strangling the
redhead. I told him to stop but he told me it didn’t matter they’d been bit
they were dead anyway.” Aaron answered. “He strangled Cat too, than made those
muzzles and those harnesses. I know what he wanted to do was wrong but he’s my
big brother and he’s never listened to me.”
“That’s quite a tale there
Aaron. You just confessed to watching your brother kill two women.” Sam
responded to Aaron’s story.
“As I said I didn’t want
nothing to do with it. I tried to calm Wayne down but he’s a mean guy and he
holds a grudge like a starved dog holds a bone.” Aaron explained, “Please don’t
kill me. I swear I didn’t touch the girls nor was I going to. I was planning to
take off as soon as he was distracted.”
“Well now, what should we do
with you Aaron?” Sam asked, lowering his gun finally.
“Take me with you? I can help
with your friend Wayne shot, I’ve cleaned wounds like that before.” Aaron said
after he thought about it for a moment.
“How do we know you’re not
going to try and get revenge on us for killing your brother? We’ve got kids
with us trusting us to keep them safe.” Sam asked him.
“As I said. The world’s gone
crazy and Wayne wasn’t someone I would have saved if I could, even with him
being my brother.” Aaron answered.
“Sydney, cuff him.” Sam
decided, “It wouldn’t be right to leave him alone out here.”
“Thank you.” Aaron said as he
turned around and placed his hands behind his back. Sydney handcuffed him and
they led him onto the bus.
Once they got Aaron on the bus
they took off the handcuffs so he could take a look at Tone. He pushed his hood
down and looked up. My eyes met his blue-green ones, eyes I’d seen a hundred
times before.
“Ashlyn?” He asked after a
minute.
“Yeah.” I answered and went to
hug him, “Where’s Emily?”
“She’s dead.” Aaron said and
his eyes looked like they were watering up.
Emily was his younger sister
and one of my friends. Aaron adored Emily. I remembered how many times he would
give us rides or money or anything else she asked him for.
“How?” I asked as tears started
to escape from my eyes.
“I don’t know. Wayne said she
refused to go with him. He wanted to meet with me and she attacked him when he
tried to grab her, he said it was an accident.” Aaron answered.
“Your brother killed your
sister?” Sawyer asked as she joined us, she had been friends with Emily too.
“Yeah he did.” Aaron said and
turned to look at Tone.
“How does it look?” Tone asked.
“Sorry my brother shot you.” He
apologized. “Woman was right. Bullet went straight through, I don’t think we’ll
have to do much to help it heal just bandage it and keep it clean. He’ll be
good as new soon.”
“Well then, you hungry?” Tone
asked Aaron after he finished getting Tone bandaged up.
“Yeah, been walking all night.”
Aaron answered
“What did he have you do?” Sam
asked.
