Bloody Hands

Blood On the Floor Pt. 2

Night came and we had dinner together.

"It's been a long time since our last dinner" said Aunt Cate.

"You disappeared for 10 years and came back when my granddaughter killed someone" said Grandma.

"I miss her, and I want to help her"

"Why now? Why not when she is alone facing her mother's death?"

"I want, but I can't"

"You can, we don't need you, neither your help nor your money"

"Is that true, Sharon, you are not sure to go to college because of lack of funds"

"You really say that?"

"I'm sorry" I said.

"I will cover every tuition fee, Sharon, from now" said Aunt Cate.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes" said Aunt Cate.

"We don't need you, I can cover Sharon's tuition fees" said Grandma.

"Are you sure?" asked Aunt Cate.

"We shouldn't be like this, please" I said.

"Yeah, we shouldn't if you tell me what happened from the beginning" said Grandma.

"I'm sorry" I said.

Suddenly Jack came and whispered something to Aunt Cate.

"We have guests" said Aunt Cate.

Aunt Cate rose from her chair.

"Sharon follows me" said Aunt Cate.

I stood up and followed her. We went into the living room. I saw a man sitting and looking at Aunt Cate. He smiled at me.

"Cate" he said.

He hugged Aunt Cate.

"Leo" said Aunt Cate.

"You must be Sharon" said Leo.

"My only niece" said Aunt Cate.

We sat in front of him.

"I immediately returned when I heard the news. I wanted to meet you" said Leo.

"You want to meet me?" I asked.

"Yes" said Leo.

"Leo Hose is one of our partners and my friend too" said Aunt Cate.

"So, Sharon Johnson, are you sure you will continue using your father's last name?" asked Leo.

"Yes, why not?" I asked.

"You are the heir of the Renaldi family" said Leo.

"So? Nothing wrong with that" I said.

"I know" said Leo.

"Okay Leo, you came for business, right?" said Aunt Cate.

"Yes, I need to tell you something" said Leo.

"Sure" answered Aunt Cate.

"But not here" said Leo.

"Okay" answered Aunt Cate.

They left. I got up and went back to my room. I searched about Aunt Cate and found a few things. "Laura and Catelyn Renaldi are starting to take over the family business" was one of the articles I found. Another thing is that Aunt Cate was suspected of being involved in the murder of Joseph Allen after making statements that my mom and Aunt Cate were illegal arms suppliers 20 years ago, which is not surprising for me. I also found out that Aunt Cate was allegedly close to Harry Oswald and after that they were known as frenemies. Is that true? I don't know.

My family is very complicated, so far. Will I finish my mission? Yes I will, but I need some extra time, things are getting out of control, but I will sort it out. I promise I'll get back at them and I'll keep doing that even if Oswald comes after me. I don't care. I've gathered several things that will destroy Oswald, including his love story with his personal assistant, which obviously destroys his relationship with his wife Maya.

Not only his personal life. I will also destroy his company. I found that Oswald Industry does not care about the safety of workers and one of the proofs is the death of 11 workers in the mine, due to the lack of available security tools. Another thing is, Oswald deliberately pays the victim's family to keep their mouths shut and doesn't report it to the police. Now is my time to rest and sleep. Exhausting day. Just as I was about to close my eyes, Aunt Cate came in, she sat down beside me.

"We have to talk" said Aunt Cate.

"About what?" I asked.

"About you" answered Aunt Cate.

"What?" I said.

"Yes, you know Harry is mad at you, and now he wants to kill you" said Aunt Cate.

"I know" I answered.

"Of course, you know, so be careful. I will fix this and during that time you can't go out"

"What?! Are you kidding me"

"No"

"It's f*****g bullshit, I'm not gonna stay here until I finish everything"

"There are dozens of snipers out there waiting for you and their only job is to put a f*****g bullet in your head"

"I don't care, nothing can stop me"

"I can help you if you follow me"

"I don't need you to help me, all this time I have done everything alone, so why I need you now?"

"You will regret this"

"I won't"

"You don't know who your enemy is, you don't know what he can do"

"I know, I know everything. I know my enemy, I know the consequences. I know the risk"

"You don't, the only thing you know is that he killed your mother and you want to revenge"

"Yes, that's what I know. He killed my father, he killed my mother, he killed your sister, and he needs to pay for it"

"Okay, I can't change your mind, but I will help you, because I promised Laura, I will protect you"

"I don't care about that, the only thing I want is justice. If the law can't give it, then I will look for it"

"I can't stop you, but I need you to hold on. That's the only thing you need to do now"

She walked away. She will help me, I know, she will protect me, of course, but I can't trust her, not after she has let my mother die. She could stop him, but she didn't.

The next morning, I woke up, my Grandma still in her room, and Aunt Cate. I didn't know where she was going. I meet Grandma.

"Hi, Grandma" I said.

She keep silent.

"I know you are mad, I'm sorry. I know I made a mistake. I'm so sorry"

"A mistake? You kill someone. You know what you did, Sharon. You know it's wrong, but you did it. Why? I know you better than anyone, but why?"

"I'm sorry, I'm trully sorry. But I can't stop, not now" I said.

"Are you sure? Does she want you to kill them?" Grandma said.

"I don't know"

"You know, of course, you know. She will never let you kill people, so why you did it? Revenge, is that your reason? When you kill them will she come back? Will your mother come back? No, she won't come back. If someone came back by killing their murderer, imagine how much blood on my hands"

"Yes, she won't come back, I know. I didn't kill them to make mom come back. I kill them to make them pay for what they did"

"You're not a god, it's not your job to make them pay for their deeds. Forget them, it will be easier"

"I forgive them by sending them to god"

I walk away, it's useless, she won't listen to me. I can't stop, not now, I will finish this. I saw Theo Harris sitting waiting for the bus. I sat beside him and took the injection. He didn't notice. I gave him the poison. He realized it.

"What you did, b***h" he said.

"Send you to god" I said.

"What?" he said.

He walks away and faints, some people come towards him. Soon, an ambulance came and took him away. I waited until nightfall to hear that he couldn't be saved and died. After getting the news, I walked while looking at the night view. Grandma and Aunt Cate called repeatedly, but I didn't answer and just ignored them. I stopped the taxi and headed home. When I got there, I could see that they were worried.

"Where are you going?" Aunt Cate asked.

"I think you know" I answered.

"What I said about going out alone"

"Snipers can't stop me"

Suddenly, Grandma came and hugged me.

"Where you go, I'm so worried about you" Grandma said.

"I have to finish what I started" I said.

"You know what you did, what if they kill you? Oswald is looking for you" Aunt Cate said.

"I know, and I would do it again" I said.

I walk away.

"Sharon! I'm tired of you. Could you listen to me at least once" Aunt Cate said.

"Why? Why I should listen to you? You disappeared for 10 years, you came back and said you wanted to help me, but instead of helping me, you tried to control me, you're not the Aunt Cate I knew" I said.

"I'm not control you, I try to help, but you don't let me help you, you don't listen to me. You did everything recklessly, that's why I didn't let you do everything yourself, because every step you took was very dangerous, you weren't dealing with an ordinary person, you were facing a f*****g psychopath. He will kill you whenever he gets the chance and you have to listen to me so I can protect you"

"Stop it! You won't kill anyone anymore, you will prepare for college, that's the only thing you will do" Grandma said.

"Not now, grandma" I said.

I turned around and left them.

"Sharon!" Aunt Cate said.

They say I did something bad, and I would do it again. The road is deserted. I walk aimlessly. I realized something. Someone was chasing me. I ran away. I ran as fast as I could. I didn't notice that a guy had just come out of the bar, and I bumped into him.

"I'm sorry" I said.

"It's okay" he said.

I looked back and they were gone.

"Is someone chasing you?" he asked.

"Yes... I mean no" I said.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes"

I walk away.

"Wait" he said.

I turned around.

"It's dangerous for you to go home alone" he said.

"What?" I said.

"I'll take you home"

What. He wanted to drive me home. I didn't even know where to go.

"I can go home alone, thanks" I said.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes" I said.

Oh, it's ridiculous.

"Are you sure they won't come after you?" he asked.

"Of course they will, but I will take a taxi"

"Okay"

I'm waiting for a taxi, but where are they? Oh, s**t, I hate this.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes"

He's weird. I'm waiting, and he's standing behind me. Okay, it's almost 10 minutes, and it looks like he's waiting for me in his car. He looked at me and smiled, fine, I had no other choice, it took. It long time to get home by walking.

"Are you sure you don't need a ride?" he asked.

"Okay, guess I don't have choice"

"Get in"

We driving.

"I'm Kevin"

"Sharon"

"Who is chasing you?"

"Well, it's complicated. I don't know who they are"

"Seems like they know who you are"

"Maybe"

Just pretend you are innocent.

"There's a reason for everything" he said.

"I know, but it's blur"

"I understand, sometimes we're living in a blur"

"I know"

Finally, we arrived. He's gone, it's midnight, the streets are deserted. This dusty house is better than that mansion. Now all I want is to sleep and wish I could go back in time when I wake up. I feel so pathetic. Why do I have to go through all this? Oh, God. I'd better die right now.

The next day, I will take the next step. Barry Walker. He is one of Oswald's dolls that is quite important. He is the last step before I enter the next phase. What will happen after this? I don't know, but I'll prepare for the worst. Oswald was still after me and Barry was always behind the fort. Now I have to get into their lair, and make the final move before the next phase.

This will be more difficult than before. I can't lure him to a date, because he is a man who is loyal to his wife. He rarely went out and was always in Oswald's storeroom. The bad news is that the buildings are always heavily guarded. The good news is they're easy to get through. Now the only problem is, I don't know where he is, and guards are everywhere. I came in from the back door and no one realized, but they would if I couldn't find Barry Walker sooner. Where are you bastard?

And there he was, in a room with a guard. How will I enter? It's hard to explain, but I'll find a way, but there's something I can do. Just a few meters from me there was a box looking like it's drugs, because it's a drug store. I hope it doesn't explode. I shot the box and ran away. It was supposed to be a drug box but it exploded. Oh, s**t. Dammit. I ran as fast as I could out of the building. The fire caught on quickly, several people ran out. I went back inside, having remembered why I was here. I shot Barry and ran outside. I quickly left and soon the fire department came.

There was only one death toll, and that was Barry. They thought the reason he died was because of the fire, for now. Aunt Cate called me several times and so did Grandma. I think I should come back, to show them that I'm okay.

"You have to stop doing all this, for this time listen to us" Aunt Cate said.

"I won't" I said.

"Sharon, you are my only granddaughter, and I won't let anything happen to you" Grandma said.

"Nothing will happen"

"How do you know? You challenge Harry Oswald, he will kill you" Grandma said.

"He won't, he can't"

"He can't if you stay here" Aunt Cate said.

"I'm here right now"

"Yes, you're here right now, but where are you last night?" Aunt Cate said.

"I can't stay here if you act like this"

"Stop it Sharon, now I will send you to a safe house and you will be there until I let you go. You will be under surveillance, and you are not allowed to go anywhere" Aunt Cate said.

"Okay, fine"

A little rest is good enough for me. Not that I will stop, but I will prepare my next plan. I will go there with Grandma.

"Whatever you want to do, please, don't" Grandma said.

"I have nothing to do right now"

"Sharon, what if the police come and find out that you are the murderer? You know how long you will be in jail, you know you can't boast about it in front of other people, you know it can be a nightmare for you"

"I know, and I don't care"

"Sharon"

"Grandma, please, stop it"

We were silent until we arrived at a house. I rested in my room and started to find out about Harry Oswald, but there was something odd. There's no photo of his son. Maybe he's deleted them all. I found a few other things like evidence that he was involved in the illegal drug and weapons trade. Not surprising. The other thing I found was that his wife, Maya Oswald, was in control of all of Oswald's business, which is surprising, but not so surprising.

Maya Oswald is like the heart of all the Oswald family businesses. She is in control of everything and without her it is certain that Oswald will be destroyed. At least that's what I understand from all of this. Franklin K. Oswald, Harry Oswald's only son, heir to the family. He is currently 24 years old. There is no picture of him here. I never saw him. Alright, where do I start? It seemed Maya Oswald was the main target because without her Harry couldn't do anything.

So where can I find you, Mrs. Oswald. Spending time in a luxury spa is not surprising. I'm going to meet her by hacking her cell phone and taking the trading data of Oswald's company. It sounds easy. Alright, tomorrow I'll see her.

The next day, I'll take advantage of my vacation before college to avenge the people who have ruined my life. They have ruined my life since I was little and now it's my turn to ruin theirs. Be prepared because I won't give them any pity. Time for revenge.

Just before Grandma woke up, I slipped away. For the umpteenth time I want to apologize to Grandma, if all this hadn't happened maybe she would still have looked at me like a little girl who always need her, but I don't think anything can be changed, everything has happened and revenge has arrived. I saw how Aunt Cate was trying to keep me away from all this s**t, but it's impossible, there was nothing they could do.

I walked about 10 minutes until I reached the bus stop, at 7 am, and finally I arrived at the closest stop to the spa. When will she come? I'll make sure she's here and then I'm in. It's past 9 and she still hasn't come. From which schedule I found she usually comes on Saturdays at 8 in the morning. At 10 am she finally came. I waited for a few minutes and then walked in. Luckily I brought the credit card Aunt Cate gave me. My phone should have picked up every file when it was near her phone. I sat not far from her. To be honest, I don't like sitting for so long just to cover my face with a mask, but it's the only thing I can do.

After a few hours, it finally finished and I left immediately. I couldn't go home and I couldn't be out there, luckily Gwen's house wasn't far from there.

"Hi, Gwen" I said.

"Sharon, nice to meet you, come in" Gwen said.

Gwen is my best friend. We've been friends for a long time and she knows a lot about me.

"So, my best friend, where did you go? I was in your apartment yesterday and no one seemed to be there" Gwen said.

"I moved to Aunty Cate's house for a while"

"Wait? She's here?"

"Yes"

"Why?"

"Why is she here?"

"I don't know"

"Well, well, well, don't say you're causing trouble again this time"

And I just smiled.

"Just say yes" Gwen said.

"You know that" I said.

"So what kind of trouble are you having this time?"

"Bingger that before"

"How big?"

"So big"

"Sharon, Sharon, Sharon, why do you always make trouble?"

"Because in this life we ​​always make trouble"

"Not always, remember that"

"Really?"

"I don't want to argue with that"

"Okay, my dear"

I opened my laptop and started going through every file I could get my hands on, including a photo of Maya Oswald with her personal assistant James Walter, a scandal. This is definitely a paparazzi favorite, but that's not what I am looking for. There are dozens of files here and I finally found proof of payment for the sale of illegal weapons. This is supposed to be a cop favorite but it looks like they paid a few of them to protect themselves. So I'm gonna give this to the FBI, maybe.

"What you did?" Gwen asked.

"I hacked Maya Oswald's cell phone" I said.

"What! Are you insane? Maya Oswlad. Sharon, what are you doing right now? What do you want?"

"Calm down"

"Calm down! You said calm down! This is Maya Oswald. What do you want from her?"

I showed her a picture of Maya and James.

"Oh my gosh! Is that true?" Gwen said.

"Of course" I said.

"They are kissing"

"I know"

"Sharon, this is crazy"

"Of course, this is definitely a paparazzi favourite"

"You are a troublemaker. What are you gonna do with this picture"

"I don't know, this is not what I am looking for"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

"Give it to me"

"No, I won't give it to you"

"Why?"

"I know what you did to Mia last year"

"She cheated on Jeremy"

"And you have a crush on Jeremy"

"Well, that's the fact"

"I know"

"Sharon, please"

"I will give it to you, but not now"

"You promise?"

"Yes"

"That's my friend"

"So, all this time I'm not your friend?"

"No, you are my bestie"

I rolled my eyes. After finishing everything, Gwen and I watched a movie until late night. Grandma kept calling and so did Aunt Cate. I ignored them and suddenly someone came.

"Sharon, your aunt sent the driver for you" Gwen said.

"What?" I said.

"Why didn't you tell me you had a rich aunty?"

"I don't even know, all this time I was the heiress of the family business"

"You, what?"

"Talk to you soon"

"What, Sharon, what happened? At least tell me something"

"I'll call you later"

After awhile, I arrived. I could see that Grandma was very worried and so Aunt Cate.

"Where are you going, Sharon?" Aunt Cate asked.

"I am meeting my friend" I said.

"A friend, or Maya Oswald?" Aunt Cate asked.

"You know that"

"What should I do so you listen to me? I tried everything"

"You don't have to try anything, just let me do all that"

"You make a mess, and I can't let you make a mess"

"You don't have choice"

"I have, I have, Sharon"

"Are you sure?"

"Sharon, my dear, please listen to me. Please stop it, I have already lost my son. I don't want to lose my granddaughter either, I don't want to lose you, so please, I'm begging you to stop, please" Grandma said.

"I won't stop at the halfway"

"You will, cause now, you will go to Surabaya and you will not comeback to America until I let you back" Aunt Cate said.

"Surabaya? Are you kidding me, you can't control me, cause now I've found a safe place for me and my Grandma"

"We've already discussed this, your Grandma agreed to go back to California and I will watch over you from now" Aunt Cate said.

"What? Grandma"

"I'm getting older now, and she's right. It will be hard for me to watch over you"

"So, you will leave me, now? Like my parents"

"I'm not leaving you" Grandma said.

"Yes, you are"

"You're getting out of control, Sharon, Oswald is really angry and wants you dead, especially after you stole his files from his wife's cell phone and gave them to a secret agent. He is now very angry and I have to send your Grandma away to California for her safety and I will watch over you, until things get better or at least not as bad as they are now" Aunt Cate said.

"Okay, so everything is out of control. And I'm the reason. Give me more time, I will fix it"

"You can't fix it" Aunt Cate said.

"Trust me, I can"

"How can you do it? You don't know him, he's a monster, Oswald would kill you, anytime" Aunt Cate said.

"He's a monster, but I'm the devil"

"Listen to me at least once"

"You want me to listen to you, but you never listen to me!"

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to help you, that's all I want"

"If you want to help me, let me do all this"

"I will, but not now. You have to wait"

"I've been waiting, I've waited long enough and I don't want to wait anymore, not anymore"

"You remind me of Laura"

"Of course, I'm her daughter"

"Sharon, please listen to me"

I went back to my room and ignored them. Do I always have to argue with them? Why is every time I come back they always ask me to stop? I will stop, of course, but not now. I don't want to be a serial killer, I just want to avenge them. I don't like being controlled, because I'm the only one in control of myself, not anyone else.

Grandma's going to California. It means it'll make it easier for me to sort this out. Aunt Cate will look after her and I'll sort this all out. Maybe after Grandma's gone tomorrow I'll also be gone for a while, until I finish everything. I don't care what I'm going to face because I know the risks.
