Ghost Stories - The Tangled Web
What a tangled
web we weave...
Jock gazed at Eddie,
his eyes fixed with a wild, evil gleam. So shiny; Eddie could actually
see his reflection bouncing back at him.
Jock continued,
"First - we'll cook the books. Lacey will never suspect anything.
Why, she's such a twit." He paused to scratch his chin,
then thoughtfully eased out, "Blonds always are..."
"I'm blond,"
Eddie cracked back. Jock whipped his eyes over him, looking
as if he wished he could take back his lax opinion of blonds.
"Yeah, but
you're a guy," he tried to amend. "Guys are different.
Right?"
"Yeah, right,"
Eddie mocked tightly, not knowing whether to fully trust his 'partner
in crime' or not.
Jock continued,
"We'll slowly transfer the money to an oversea's account. Maybe
even get some stocks. We'll need to buy a house outside the
states, of course."
"Yeah, Jock,
if you say so," Eddie eased out, brooding a bit as he wasn't
too hip on the setup. He had a mind to go to the cops to apprise
them of Jock's foul plan, but couldn't. Not with his outstanding
warrant.
"You're going to have to
off her, Eddie," Jock informed, his voice as cold as steel.
"You know that, right?"
"Hey, no way! I'd rather
rot in a jail cell for a few years. Jock, armed robbery is
one thing - murder is entirely another-"
"Eddie, shut up," Jock
ordered, setting his jaw like a steel trap making Eddie feel totally
trapped.
With that, Eddie snapped,
grabbing Jock and shoving him back, sending him sprawling to one
corner of the darkly lit room.
Jock yelled to the top of his
lungs and continued screaming as Eddie tried to find a light. It
had only been a brisk shove, for gosh sakes! Obviously, Jock had
fallen on something.
Eddie was shaking as he told
Jock, "Settle down! I've got a light now; I'll help you."
What was even more frightening was that Jock was suddenly so quiet.
As he shined the light in the
corner where Jock had disappeared, it was to find him hanging in
a large web and he was covered with black widow spiders from head
to toe.
"What a tangled web we weave....,"
Eddie eased out, only a door away from freedom.
