"Can we do something like this? Isn't it going to get us in much trouble? You do know they always find a clue... I have seen it, seen it on those TV shows", she said in a nervous rant to Josh. "
Oh! you saw it on a TV show and you think some bad ass cop will catch us? You out of your mind? This is the perfect crime... stop with whining and go take your position." Josh said to his shaky girlfriend of four months.
"Hey! where is everybody? Hello?", Kevin shouted after entering into an empty living room. Elvira was always in the living room, watching her stupid TV soaps and sipping her diet Coke and Jim Beam, when he got back home. For the past five years, its all what he saw of his wife, no loving hugs, no how was your day. Only a blank drunk woman watching mundane TV shows. The only thing she did as a wife was put out dinner for Kevin on the kitchen table which he ate alone while reading the newspaper.
But, tonight all this was going to change... Kevin grabbed a bottle of Miller Light from the fridge and gulped it down. He needed to calm his nerves, he could feel the cold steel in his pocket and he knew it, this was going to be the perfect crime. Kevin was supposed to be delivering a package across town, but he was here for her.
Kevin slowly paced upstairs, he looked around for signs of movement... nothing not even a soul stirred. The kids were at his cousin Marvin's home for the week. It was just him and his old wife. The moon had an eerie glow, as if he knew what Kevin was about to do next.
"Kevin! is that you out there?", Elvira shouted. "Yes, its me and now what are you doing in bed so early? You sick?". Kevin shouted back. This was perfect, he could stage the perfect crime now.
Elvira knew she had to try and seduce her old husband into bed for Josh to get clear a shot. Elvira quickly removed her gown below which she only wore a red underwear. This was going to be the most action Kevin gets before he reaches heaven.
Kevin opened the door and he saw her stand seductively in that naked underwear. This was brilliant, why had he not thought of this earlier, he said to himself. He quickly inched towards her and Elvira embraced him. He could feel her dewy warm lips on his for the first time in five years, had she really changed he thought to himself.
The closet door behind them slowly opened and Josh had a clear view of his target and with one quick shot took the target down. Both, Kevin and Elvira fell down to the floor, the impact of the bullet was unprecedented.
"Sorry love, are you okay? The impact must have knocked you over. I had a pretty clear shot.", Josh said.
Kevin slowly got up from the pool of blood with cold angry eyes and turned around to Josh, it took him by surprise.
"You could've killed me as well you clumsy oaf!", he shouted. Josh moved close to Kevin and quickly embraced him in a passionate kiss. His two day old beard rubbed against, Josh's cleanly shaven soft face.
They found her perfectly cut up body in the salvage yard a month after. She had been reported missing by her husband who had returned two days later from his delivery route. Kevin was a broken man as the neighbors described him to the police, the press and the insurance agents. In this hour of crisis the only man as his mother described to the Morning Show was his long time school buddy Josh who had only returned from Iraq some six months ago where he was an served as a surgeon.
Kevin and Josh moved up state to New York and started a meat shop called, "Perfect Cuts". They say the two gentlemen from the country lived together for many years together, some say they were blood brothers while other say they were soulmates and while some swore they saw the two embracing and that they were lovers.
But, all they knew was that each night before closing the shop they had a Diet Coke and Jim Beam with cold cuts.
