Homicidal
“I want you to be mine Alex.”
Suddenly my mind filled with thoughts.
Thought #1: What the fuck was I doing there?
I didn’t know what I was doing there. I knew he was a psychopath. Now I was more than sure. I knew I was risking my life and my family’s life by keeping this secret. But I also was scared. Scared of what he would do to my family if I told the police about him. Scared of what he would do to me.
There was much more than that, I wasn’t only scared. Something was wrong with him, and somehow, I wanted to help him. somehow, he fascinated me, his mind fascinated me. Behind each word I could feel he was hiding a secret, behind each word I could feel pain, I could feel he was scared of his own past, like something haunted him and he wanted to kill these things that haunted him. What scared me, is that he killed them, literally.
I forgot everything else and got up. I wanted to run, but I also felt sorry for him. I wanted to hug him, I knew he wasn’t a monster, or maybe he was, and I was just too blind to see it.
“What happened, it looks like you just saw a ghost or something.”
How could Jack be so sick and sadist? He just told me he fucking killed his father at his house’s basement.
“J-Jack… I… I have to go now.” I was scared, but I didn’t want to look scared.
“Ok then, see you tomorrow.” He smiled, taking a sip of his beer and turning his eyes to the TV once more.
I ran. I ran along the streets and realized I didn’t know where I was. I suddenly saw a taxi and payed my ride home. I just wanted to sleep and forget, hoping this was only one crazy nightmare.
I woke up, and, as always, my head was hurting a lot.
I couldn’t remember anything about last night, all I could remember was getting on the taxi. I didn’t even know if I payed the driver, or if I stopped by some bar and got drunk. All I knew was that my body was hurting and I had to work.
I got up and looked for some pain killers. At least I was home. I got my phone and there was a missed call and an unread text, both from Tay. I knew she was a bitch, but I couldn’t deny she was, somehow, a great mother, and I felt sorry and guilty for not helping her enough with the kids.
I read the text and she was asking me to pick up Mika at school today, because she had ballet classes, it was already the time to do so, so I took some medicine, drank a cup of coffee and left the house, as I still wore the clothes from the day before.
“Hey, I’m Mikaela’s father.” I wasn’t sure what to say to the school’s recepcionist, I never would pick the kids up at school, the woman just awkwardly nodded. “I’m here to pick her up.” I said, wasn’t it obvious?
“Oh… little Mika just left with a man, I assume you know him?” The woman said.
What?
“What do you mean… Mika left with some random man?” I asked, that was a fucking school, how could they let the kids get out with the first man that shows up?
“She told me it was ok, that you knew him, that he was his friend, she called him something… what was it again? Time traveler man. He told me you, Mika’s dad, wouldn’t be able to pick her up today, so you asked him to come, he just left a few minutes ago… he also left you a note.” The woman said, openning the drawer under her computer desk.
That woman just told me she let my daughter leave the school with a man that killed some people and his own father. I paralized.
“Here’s the note.” She said, handing me the note written in a really nice hand writing.
Hey there Alex, I liked Mika, so I thought of taking her to a park or something, you know, letting her have some fun, since I know she doesn’t do that often.
Wanna join us? We’re at the central park, you’ll find us next to the place we met.
“Is everything ok sir?” The receptionist asked, maybe because I wore an horrified expression.
“I-I’m going to sue this place.” I said.
I ran to my car, driving towards central park. I still couldn’t believe how they simply gave my daugther to the hands of a killer.
I desperately ran on the wet grass towards the wooden house by the lake. The place we met. The place he killed that worker.
I looked at my phone, I had to go to work soon, it was when I saw them.
Jack was sitting by a tree, he looked really nice. His hair was messy and he wore dark clothes, gray jeans and a black shirt. He was holding a camera, and I assumed he was filming the little girl in front of him.
Mika was wearing a pink dress, she was eating some popcorn and was dancing some ballet moves. They were both laughing, Mika really looked happy and euphoric.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?” I shouted at Jack, he suddenly dropped the camera and stared at me with a scared expression.
“Shut up Alex, everybody’s staring at us.” Jack said, looking around, people really were staring at us. “Come here, sit, try to act normal you crazy shit.” He laughed, making me sit beside him, he looked drunk.
“Daddy! You came!” Mika said, running and jumping on my lap. “Jack told me you would come.” She whispered, hugging my neck.
“Mika, baby.” I said, making her face me. “You have to promise me you’ll never do this again, you got daddy really worried.” I whispered, she stared at me, eating her popcorn.
“Why? You told me Jack was your friend.” She said, her eyes suddenly filled with tears. “We never have fun together, Jack told me you would come and we would have fun together. Why are you so mean to him?” She said, crying and jumping to his lap, hugging his neck now, Jack just stared at me with a disapproval look.
“This is not right Jack.” I said, getting up. “You can’t just kidnap my daugther, maybe I don’t have time for her, but I care about her, she means the world to me, and if something happens with her or any other of my sons, I don’t know, maybe I would go crazy.” I said, with a heavy breath, I was really nervous.
“You don’t have to worry about her Alex.” He said, getting up, with the little pink dressed girl on his arms. “She’s safe while she’s with me.” He whispered, giving me a quick peck on the lips, I have to say, I missed his lips. “But it’s ok, I know we got you worried, I understand, it won’t happen again, I promise.” He smiled, that nice smile, handing me Mika, she wasn’t crying anymore.
“We have to talk Jack, like, a serious talk, I just can’t handle this anymore.” I said, hugging Mika and staring at our close feet.
“Indeed Alex, perhaps another time, gotta go back to the future.” Jack said, laughing, Mika suddenly turned around and hugged his neck.
“Bye time traveler man.” Mika said, she sounded upset, sad.
“Don’t you find it weird that the Head Collector suddenly stopped killing people?” Zack said, organizing some papers.
“Yeah…” I replied, lost in my thoughts.
“You look like you’re hiding something Alex, tell me what’s going on.” He said, snapping his fingers to call my attention, Zack knew me really well, that kind of annoyed me sometimes.
“Yeah, I…” I wasn’t sure of what I was going to tell him, I wanted to tell him the truth, but it was just so hard.
“Spit it out Alex, you know I won’t tell to anybody, come on.” He said, he didn’t look worried though, he looked curious.
“Ok… the thing is…” It was time, I could do this, I could end this, I could save people, and save myself too. “The Head Collector.” Man it was so hard.
“What about him? Holy crap Alex.” He said, coming closer.
“I… I think I may know him.” It was hard, really hard, but I just couldn’t tell him.
“…what?” He said, I could even laugh at his expression If the situation wasn’t so serious.
“Yeah, but I have to be sure. Promise me you won’t tell this to anyone though, I still don’t have proofs or evidence.” I lied, Zack knew me, but it was easy to fool him.
“Ok ok.” He said, winking really fast, as he was trying to wake up from a dream or something. “Just keep safe ok?” He said, suddenly getting worried.
“Yes, I always am…” I laughed nervously, he noticed I was nervous, maybe he even noticed I was lying, but he didn’t say anything.
Zack whispered an awkward goodbye and left the station, leaving me alone in the middle of photos of dead people.
“Is anybody there?” I said, closing my apartment’s door, noticing I was alone.
Maybe everyone was asleep, so I tiptoed to the kitchen and noticed that there was a note sticked to the fridge, with Tay’s hand writing.
hey dear,
mika came to me with a weird request today, she asked me to take everyone to dinner tonight, she said you needed some time alone, I assume everything is ok?
anyway, we and the kids are having dinner right now and I may come home after midnight, I didn’t text you because my phone is out of batery.
Love you. Tay
. Mika asked Tay to take everyone to dinner? She never did that, she was too young and always hated to go out, especially at night.
I took my coat off and left my stuff at the couch, walking towards the bedroom. Today had already been crazy enough and I just wanted to sleep.
“Good evening baby.” I suddenly felt a pair of cold arms hugging my waist as my heart stopped beating for a couple of seconds.
“What the hell are you doing here get out stay away from me.” I said, turning around, trying to catch my breath.
“Shh… Calm down, it’s just me.” Jack whispered, I couldn’t see him in the darkness of the bedroom when he attacked my neck with his hot lips.
“How did you get in here?” I whispered, I didn’t know why I was whispering though, since there was nobody home.
“Mika helped me out, she can tell you later.” He said, taking his jacket off. “I think I still owe you some fun.” He whispered, hugging my waist again and leaving kisses along my neck.
“Jack, I told you, this has to stop, we have to stop seeing eachother, this is not right, we have to talk about this…” I said, trying not to moan with the bites he gave me.
“I love to see how nervous you get when you’re with me Alex…” Jack whispered, closing the bedroom’s door and pressing me against it.
“Jack, seriously.” I was doing my best to sound serious, but I just couldn’t, not while he touched me.
“I am serious Alex.” He laughed, kissing the tip of my nose, I wasn’t sure how was he seeing anything in that darkness, I couldn’t see a thing. “Ok, I know what you mean, you want to talk about this, about us, but let’s talk later ok? Maybe I can even change your mind.” He whispered in my ear, then suddenly attacked my lips before I could say anything.
I had no escape, and I couldn’t fool myself, I wanted him as much as he wanted me, so I just tried to forget everything and enjoy whatever was going to happen in that night.
He slowly ran his hands along the sides of my body, from my waist to my thights. As he reached my thights, he quickly picked me up from the ground and started walking along the bedroom, I had my eyes closed when suddenly he tossed me into the bed and layed on top of me.
His body was so cold it even made me feel cold. He ran his hands under my shirt and laughed as he felt my nipples hardening with his touch. He sat on my thights and took my shirt off, placing his hands beside my head and attacking my neck once more.
Each time I moaned with his bites, he would giggle. He was bitting me hard, and it was rather painful, since I still had a scar on my neck, the scar from the day he slid that knife along my throat, but I tried to forget that, at least by now.
His hot breath on my skin compared to his cold body made me shiver even more, I openned my eyes and I could see his face against the moonlight. Jack stared at me, his eyes were dark and he was smiling.
“I want you to be mine Alex.” He whispered, still staring at me.
“L-let me go Jack.” I said, I suddenly noticed I had tears on my eyes, maybe because of the pain, maybe because of the fear, maybe because I also wanted him to be mine, but that would never happen.
“I’m sorry baby, but you actually don’t have a choice.” He smiled.
“Why are you like this Jack?” I cried, I knew why I was crying, I just wanted him to be normal.
“Don’t cry Alex.” He said, kissing me softly, I suddenly found myself getting angry.
“Stay away from me!” I shouted at him, pushing him away and turning my back against him, burying my head on the pillow.
“I was trying to be nice to you Alex.” He whispered, grabbing my wrists and holding them against my back. “But you don’t want to cooperate, so I guess we’ll be doing this the hard way.”
Thought #1: What the fuck was I doing there?
I didn’t know what I was doing there. I knew he was a psychopath. Now I was more than sure. I knew I was risking my life and my family’s life by keeping this secret. But I also was scared. Scared of what he would do to my family if I told the police about him. Scared of what he would do to me.

Behind each word I could feel he was hiding a secret, behind each word I could feel pain, I could feel he was scared of his own past, like something haunted him and he wanted to kill these things that haunted him. What scared me, is that he killed them, literally.
