Penny's Choice (12 page)

“So you’re okay with this?” Penny asked. They hadn't had time to talk since Charles found out that she had left him for Thomas. Penny suspected that was another reason that they had been sent out alone.

“Well... the blood...thing and,” he stuttered around.

“No, I mean us. Or me and Thomas now,” she said and looked into Charles's eyes. The elevator door opened and they stepped in.

“Oh, that. Yeah. I think you are a better fit for Thomas anyway,” he replied. “I mean maybe I'm not completely okay with everything, but we're still stuck together, so the sooner we get over this 'break up' thing, the better.” He pressed the button down to the first floor.

“You would have gotten bored of me anyway,” Penny said, staring ahead at the door.

“Well, um, in that way. I have a hard time expressing my feelings Penny.
And...well
, I felt very protective of you and couldn't
ya
know, tell you...and so I just mixed them up with
romance and...
it
was stupid. I should have just tried to be your friend from the start, but I've never had a girl that was just a friend.”

Penny enjoyed watching Charles wriggle around and try to explain how his was feeling. She had a feeling that this would be the only time that he would ever talk about how he felt. She liked hearing it, but knew that he was uncomfortable and would just keep
rambling until she stopped him.

“Oh Charles, you're not getting all sappy on me know, are you?” She said and laughed at him as they exited the elevator. The smell of fresh baked French pastries met their noses.

“How about a snack before dinner?”
Charles said, abruptly changing the subject.

“Sounds good to me!”

And just like that Penny started her new life. A life that she felt finally fit her. She had a family that understood her and support system. She would be on the run probably for the rest of her life, but that didn't matter. She was in Paris, the City of Love, with the people that she loved. She was happy.

Like A Suicide
(by John J. Archer)

Why does order seem to come through chaos?

At least that’s what Wraith believes.

Wraith is a serial killer. He always knew this was his calling. He might just be the best serial killer in history. All he wants to do is bring order into this world. To him it just seems chaos is the best way to achieve this. Yet he may have just met his match in Detective Sweeney.

His latest victim James, who happened to have the nerve to steal from him seems to either not know who he is messing with or is the challenge Wraith has waited for all these years. Either way, Wraith plans to find out. It’s just that this time it’s not that easy. He wants to kill James and his long-term girlfriend Jennifer partly out of revenge but also to restore order through chaos. Something just seems different this time. It feels too much ‘like a suicide’.

With Detective Sweeney getting closer and James and the police force now aware he exists, Wraith has to do what he does best and overcome his feeling of this kill feeling ‘like a suicide’.
