Bobby steps back, and the relief of no longer being electroshocked is immediate.
“Took what from you?” I force the words out.
Her face twists into an ugly mask. “You took Hansen from me, you bitch!” She kicks me in the ribs, and white-hot pain almost makes me pass out.
“I didn’t take him from you, but I wish I had. He was a piece-of-shit rapist.” I expect another kick, but Carol takes a deep breath instead and straightens her coat.
“You’re not going to goad me into killing you quickly. I waited a year to get my revenge, and I’m going to savor it.”
Fuck, now I wonder if her father sent her away because he knew there was something seriously wrong with her.
“Why did you set me up to kill your father?” I ask, trying to buy time and hopefully recover my ability to move. I’ve pocketed Eric’s switchblade, but I must use it at the right time. I’ll have only one shot.
“Because he found out about Hansen and me, and he wanted to have me committed.”
Hell. Mark Warner was innocent, then. That would have been my next question, but then what Carol is saying finally sinks in.
“You and Hansen weretogether?”
“He was the love of my life!”
“Ew, barf,” I blurt out. My reaction is totally legit and without any intention of making Carol lose control. She was fucking her own brother. It makes my relationship with Eric innocent in comparison.
“Go on, waste your breath judging me. It won’t change your fate.”
“What the hell do you want with me?”
She laughs like she’s a villain in some Disney movie. “I’m going to let the boys have fun with you, and then I’m going to carve you up like a turkey.”
Jesus, how come I never noticed how insane Carol is? I always knew Eric was different, but I had no clue about Carol. She totally flew under my psycho radar.
“What about Eric?”
“Hmm...” She drops into a crouch next to him and pushes his bangs off his forehead, driving me insane with jealousy. I want to yellDon’t touch him!but it’d clue her in that I’m in love with him. She might have overheard us before revealing herself, but if she didn’t, I can’t let her have that leverage over me.The first thing I’ll do is chop your hands off, bitch.
“I always had a soft spot for Eric. I guess he can take Hansen’s place,” she continues.
My stomach twists, and I nearly puke. But I’m also relieved. She doesn’t know Eric was the one who killed Hansen, even though I told her I didn’t kill that asshole. Fuck. Maybe she’s too obsessed with Eric to realize he’s the killer.
I look at the other goon next to Bobby and recognize Doug Michaels, who was also Hansen’s and Eric’s hockey teammate.
“I can’t wait to make you pay for kicking me, bitch.” Bobby grabs me by the hair and starts to pull me up, and I want him to think I haven’t yet recovered control of my limbs. I need to catch him off guard when I slice his throat open. So, instead of punching him, I scream.
“Shut up, you fucking cunt!”
“No one can hear her.” Doug laughs. “Let her scream.”
Adrenaline is shooting through my veins, and my heart feels like it’s going to leap out of my chest.
“Doug, help me with Eric,” Carol pipes up.
“What are you going to do with him?”
“Well, I want to have some fun too.” She stares at Eric with a demented look on her face.
“Hell, is he going to be part of our group now?” Bobby asks. “He’s a fucking snob.”
“Yeah, I don’t feel like sharing you with one more dude,” Doug chimes in.
