nobody deserved to end up here, like the poor dead dancer from the basement, she thought to herself.
It hadn’t been easy to drag her body to the woods and stuff her into a metal drum. She had to pound the lid down and her arms ached from all that work. Then she’d had to roll it down the riverbank and watch the drum go into the water. However she’d made sure she was gone for good.
She watched Wolf talking to Skunk, how handsome he was. Maybe she could get him into the woods, she still gave good head but Wolf wouldn’t look her way. She went back to the cooler for another beer.
Somewhere in the back of her mind she had been thinking of something she needed to tell Skunk but it had drifted out of her head again. She needed her medicine and wondered if Skunk would give it to her.
She wasn’t functioning again and it seemed to amuse her ol man to see her suffer. God, she hated him. Somebody should kill him she thought to herself, maybe she would end up doing it when the black thoughts came into her head again. They were taking over her mind more frequently but nobody cared. Nobody paid any attention to her anymore.
She popped open the can of beer and sat on a log watching everything around her as the buzzing got louder in her ears.
The blackness was coming at her again and she fought hard to keep it down. It was so hard to control it and she was so angry at that damn Skunk. It was his fault she had choked the life out of that girl too.
There was an axe lying near the log and she picked it up and hid it behind her back as she walked through the trees until Skunk’s back was facing her. Wolf had walked away and Skunk was standing there alone as she ran forward and brought the axe down into the back of his head as hard as she could.
She felt the warm spray of his blood hit her face and she screamed madly. Bikers came running toward her from all directions. She watched as Wolf pulled out his gun and she thought he was going to shoot Skunk, good he deserved it for ruining her life. Lulu never felt the bullet hit her head; she was dead before she fell on top of Skunk’s body.
Roberta heard that God-awful scream and went to run to the window but Mercy and Careen grabbed her. The sound of a gunshot followed shortly after. Then it was still and Roberta twisted to get free. Bikers were talking and she wanted to see what was going on out there but the women held her firmly away from the window. She needed to know Wolf wasn’t hurt and told them so.
Careen was closest to the window and looked down into the front yard. She moaned, “She finally did it, crazy Lulu killed Skunk. Robbie, you don’t want to see this and Wolf wouldn’t want us down there. Come sit on the bed, when it is cleaned up, he will send for us. You do know what this means right?”
Mercy looked out the window and saw the axe in Skunk’s head and laughed. She turned away and began to going through Roberta’s pocketbook and found her hairbrush. “Shh Robbie, it is good news, it means Wolf is president and we’re the top old ladies now.”
She began to stroke the brush through Roberta’s hair gently. “Looks like maybe you’re our good luck charm, we’ll have to make sure you’re very happy here.” She looked at Careen, “I told you Lulu was going to do it one day. Always talking to herself, never on her meds and she was dangerous. It makes me wonder what the hell Skunk did to her.
“Robbie, if you’re good to Wolf, he will treat you good. When there is money, he does treat us well. Rarely does he abuse us, he likes to make us perform for him but we’ll make it good for you. After the first couple of times you’ll love it.” She dropped a kiss to Roberta’s neck before she continued to brush her hair. “I just hope Wolf can bring this club around, I don’t want to die in this dump.”
Roberta was in shock and hadn’t noticed the kiss to her neck.
Careen went gone to the dresser and handed a Roberta a pill. “Roberta, take this
