“It's the truth, I swear it.” He tries to scoot away. He tries to loosen the hold I have on him. It doesn’t quite pan out like he thinks it will. “I get some reputation as a lady killer… and man, you know those guys at the top... They'll finally have something on me. Something they can use.”
“I doubt that's the only dirt they have.” I elbow him in the face. His nose makes a loud popping sound, almost a crunch-like sound, but not quite. “Now, tell me the fucking truth.”
“That is the truth,” he says, attempting to stop the blood that is gushing from his nose. He only makes things worse, smearing it all over his face. “I swear it.”
I suck my bottom lip through my teeth and shake my head. “I see.”
“Joel…” His eyes widen.
“What made you think you could trust me?”
He shrugs. “Who else is there?”
He looks up at me, and as he waits for an answer, I pull the trigger. I watch the round of lead sail through his head and then drop through the mattress, but I don’t feel the satisfaction I thought I would. I don’t feel anything.
