All the local news channels had been reporting the news of a
murder convict escaping from Gallions. People were asked to report immediately
to the local police if known about his whereabouts.
Mrs. Cremer gripped the post of her bed hard she was in
anguish, she removed the suitcases and started to fill in her clothes hurriedly,
I have to leave as fast as I can, she
thought to herself.
Just then the door bell rang; it almost kind off interrupted
her thoughts wondering who was at the door at this hour she came down the regal
marble staircase, she lived like a Queen on the Imperial Estates. A palatial mansion on the north of the city
she had married Mr. Edward Cremer and inherited his property.
“Ah! That look of languish on your face makes you look so
beautiful Crecenda”, exclaimed Dr.Earl as soon as she opened the huge mahogany
door: she frowned a scornful frown “What do you want Earl?” “May I so make my
presence felt in your house” saying this he moved into the mansion. Oh how much she loathed his presence: “Finish
your business soon I don’t have time for your gibberish banter Earl”, Mrs.
Cremer spoke irritated.” Well my dear my gibberish banter will either land you
in jail or give you your freedom” she paled at these words. “You cannot
blackmail me Earl even you are part of the crime,” she screamed furiously “I’m
not going to jail and I never will; there is no proof of the crime that I have
committed “. Earl laughed an evil laugh and sat on the plush velvet cushioned
chair he relished the biscuits kept on the elegant centre piece.”Oh you
Lochness Monster! You think I’m going to marry you; you old withered soul just
because you made a false report on the death of Marilyn the maid that put my
husband behind the bars”. “Yes you will! My beautiful Crecenda because it’s me
who can save your poor little wicked soul from getting convicted for murder and
trampling with the evidence to state that Marilyn was pregnant”. Suddenly she
calmed down and gained her poise and walked towards the side table facing her
back towards him she opened the drawer slowly and removed a silver gun out of
it then slowly said “Earl you are right you are the only one who knows about my
crime and so I have decided to do what is right; saying this she pointed the metal
at him and shot two bullets one on his chest and one on his head the shots
echoed down the huge mansion.
At the same time
there was a third shot and she slumped to the floor blood was gushing from her side;
a shadowy figure loomed over her and his voice sounded like a boom “You filthy
woman I married you and gave everything to you but all you wanted was my money
and not my feelings for you serves you right” and he pointed a gun to her head
before the final fatal shot all she could say was “Edward”!
When the police arrived on scene there were three bodies
apparently Mr. Cremer had committed suicide by shooting himself after killing
Crecenda because he had loved her. He had loved her till death and after death
also he wanted to be with her. The case was closed; all the evidence had been
recorded in the surveillance tapes of the hidden cameras in the mansion.
Greed can be consuming like a fire that burns within you and
burns the ones close to you.
