Give me a break!

“Wake up you two. We should get going.”, a voice came saying after a loud knock on the door.

I opened the door and stepped out first. I headed to the bathroom, I stood in front of the mirror and got a good look on myself. My brown hair was as messy as usual. My black eyes reflected most of my anger.

My clear skin was filled with the scars I got from my parents’ beating. I took off my clothes and looked at my discarded body... it was also filled with scars and my late struggles.

I changed my clothes... I looked away from the mirror, but couldn’t help myself from finally breaking it. I puched through it.

Broken glass fell that also made loud sounds. My fists were bleeding from the incident.

Someone broke through the door, it was Theo.

I cried after seeing someone that looked concerned about what happened. He approached me so casually and gave me a hug.

“I told you. You’re going to be safe if you’re back at the institution. But are you sure that’s what you really want?”,

“It is. I don’t want anyone who I’ve known looking at me anymore. Sorry about the mirror.”, I told him then left.

Clint ran through the hallways and stopped when he passed me.

“You’re not okay. Let me treat your wound.”,

“No need. I can do it myself.”, I said and continued to walk.

I was falling apart. What’s wrong with me?!

I cried and cried while doing my bandages, while eating the sandwich that was given to me. Clint sat with me and talked.

“You know. My wife gave birth to a boy... he looked just like her when he was born. She was blonde and so was her son. They both had blue eyes and an incredibly beautiful face. I’m not sure if the child is mine or if it belonged to Wilbur Sr. but when I’ll meet her again we’ll leave, along with her son.”,

He was so direct. Wait... blonde hair and blue eyes...

“Are you talking about Wilbur Jr.? Is he, her son?”, I asked all shocked.

“Hmm.. yeah. He was born healthy, which made me so happy. My wife was taken from me eight months before Wilbur Jr. was born. So there’s a chance he’s my child. He’s still not aware that me and his mom are married though.”,

“Didn’t Wilbur Sr. marry her?”,

“He didn’t. I doubt he even knows Tina and I were.”,

“Tina? Is that her name? She sounds like a great person. I just hope Wilbur Jr. would accept the fact that he has a chance to be your son.”,

“He’ll probably be confused. But I’m sure we can make it work. Do you want to see Tina after I’m finished with my questioning?”,

“Will it be fine for her?”,

“Of course. I’ll be going now. By the way your wrapping the bandage all wrong.”, he said then got up from where he was seating.

Before he could close the door I remembered something that Wilbur Jr. said to me before.

“Clint! Did you know? Wilbur’s father was beating Tina... I’m sorry to tell you this now.. I just remembered.”,

“I know. I hope she can forgive me... I gotta go.”, he said and finally left.

I thought to myself for a moment, who touched those maids? If Wilbur Sr. only played with Tina... and the guards were terrified of him they wouldn’t touch them in the first place.

Was he selling them? Where did they even come from? I can’t sit still thinking about Tina and the others condition while living in the mansion. How were they really treated inside?

I stood up and called Theo along with Clint to help me figure out how it really was in there.

“We already have a witness so we don’t need to go there personally.”, Theo said and the other officers agreed.

“Sir..”, I tried to sound formal.

“We need to. There were maids being assaulted. His wife was even kept where he can never see her. I want to help.. we are working together now aren’t we?”, I pleaded.

“We will go. But not now. And there were no maids in his story, can you be more elaborate with your information?”,

What? Why wouldn’t Clint be helping them?

“What do you mean? Of course there were. I was there last night! Believe me.”, I said being confused.

“Clint. Were there maids being assaulted at the place you worked?”,

Clint looked at me, then he answered...

“No, the Montana Residence has prohibited women inside, his son bringing home someone was no excuse either. It started after Wilbur Sr.’s wife died.”,

I was shocked after hearing that...

“Clint. What the hell did you just say?”, I asked.

Police officers were readying their guns guessing I would probably attack him. I stopped myself before I could even attack.

“Just lend me your ears. I’m not lying. Or even if my mind is just playing tricks on me. Help them, help the one’s who were once attacked and were violated. Thanks. I’ll go back to the institution now. And say hello to Tina for me.”, I said and quietly left the interrogation room.

The two that first took me in the institution before were the one’s that escorted me again.

I rode with them and saw the riverside again. I thought to myself... is he still there?

“Hey. I know I asked you this before but have you found him yet?”,

“You mean your father right? Yes we did. But officer Phillips didn’t shed a tear for him. We even asked him if there was something bothering him and he responded, “ No I’m just suprised she haven’t killed him sooner.”, “, they said to me while smiling and laughing.

“I’m glad to hear that. Can you guys promise me one thing though?”,

“We can’t promise you anything. We’re not even sure how you’re going to end up. Even if you worked with us. You still killed innocent people which still makes you a criminal.”,

We finally arrived. Would they be willing to do me a favor if I started something that noone can?

We stepped inside, it was quiet. The residents were completely speechless. Noone was even looking at me in a strange way.

They cleared the way when I entered, and stood aside me without any hesitation. It was like I was welcomed as a hero. I wouldn’t even be suprised if they bowed to me!

“Welcome home Mary. Don’t try and kill anyone please. Follow me now.”, Mike from before greeted ne first again.

“Hey Mike. Guess what?”,

“What Mary?”,

“I’m not cuffed right now. I could tackle you if I wanted to.”, I said jokingly.

“I wouldn’t be suprised if you did. So will you?”, he asked actually sounding pretty serious.

“Not right now I guess. I gave you a headstart, so it wouldn’t be as good as the first one.”, I kid and walked passed him to my room.

I layed on my bed immediately after coming in. I didn’t mind the clothes that were there, I just needed a break. From all of it.

“Get dressed. That’s the last pair you’ll get so don’t stain it again. Hurry up. Someone wants to see you.”,

“Is it Wilbur again? Give me my breakfast first.”,

“Didn’t you have it at the police station?”.

“Would I be asking if did?”,

“You’re not getting it yet.”,

I finished dressing myself... I want something sharp to scare the shit out of Mike again. Any thing that can cut through his skin is good enough.

“I’ll open the door now.”, he said then quickly opened the door.

“I’m not going to spook you this time. Where are you taking me again?”,

“Somewhere you can’t talk however you want... let’s go.”, I followed him afterwards.

We went at the institution’s field. It was huge. The residents were looking at me and were all preparing someting from behind their backs.

“Mary Phillips. We were never loyal to one person. We never had one boss. We had multiple. Though now that you’ve killed Montana.... we serve his son for the time being.”, a resident yelled for everyone to hear.

“I’m prepared. I’m no coward. But you serve Montana’s son for the time being am I right.”, they were all quiet after hearing me say that.

“Your point Phllips?”,

“Wilbur Montana, never had a son.”, shocked as they were it looked like they didn’t believe me.

“We aren’t stupid Phillips. You’re not going to survive.”,

“Who said I wanted to?”,

“You heard her.”, Wilbur Jr. called out.

Guns fired at me all the same time....

My head was blurring again.... so this is how it feels like.

I felt like this all the time.. I felt it all this time. But I was never satisfied.

I wasn’t blacked out yet. I saw Wilbur Jr. approach me, he held up my head by pulling my hair.

“My mother have gone through so much. This is the least I could do for her. The maids were my doing.... I liked women... very much. I knew Clint was my father, but I couldn’t make it show. Thank you for granting your side of the deal. Any other messages you want to relay.”,

“Clint said you had your mother’s eyes... say hello to Tina for me. Thanks for granting me my wish. Make sure pay these guys or your next.”, I coughed up blood. But I wasn’t done and gave it my all.

“Make a proper burial for me... it better be what I deserve. I bid you farewell... Montana.”,

I passed out. It was pitch black... I was freezing.

Just 5 days ago I killed 22 people and now I was killed. What luck huh?

And exactly 8:56 am of April 4th,1999. I died at the fields of the one place I fit in after all those years. At the W.M. Mental Institution. This is where you can find these crazy bastards, who has family visiting at one side and killing each other at another.

It was worth it.... Wilbur was already aware that Clint was his real father. I also found out that Wilbur Jr. is a total asshole! He was the one who assaulted those maids after all!! That little scum.

Can’t say anything now... I just hope Theo will get married before it’s too late for him.

That’s it I guess.... I was a dirty little shit too... but someone was so much more deserving... can you tell who?
