THIRD MOVE
The next day I had big step to present forward. I have to take out his dead body from beneath the land and bury him in the thorn forest. No one's going to dig out a 100 acre forest full of thorns.
I borrowed the worker's costume from a nearby shop and was ready to pull out my friend's skeleton from his backyard. As dark as it is! I heard the truck engine getting started. It's uncle! Never knew he cared about me.
I had a whiskey with me incase he needs it, you know! I got into the side seat of his truck as he started it.
The trunk was filled with more silence than air on the way.
" Huh so how is your teenage life?" That question came out of nowhere.
To be honest, its packed with murder, lies, cops and corpse!
" It's good uncle. Going smooth." I replied with a smile.
He laughed while he turned the steering.
" Oh come on! Teenage life and smooth are like me and your aunt, never goes together."
He 'is' damn cool! Way to go uncle Paul.
We reached by his house's front gate and a security guard came running towards me.
Uncle rolled down the window.
" Who are you both?" He asked.
" Granny knows. She asked us to come." I interrupted from the side seat.
" Umm, let me check with her." He responded and ran back into the house.
Luckily there were no police officers anywhere around the house. I am relieved!
After a minute the man came running back and waved his hands so that we could drive in.
Perfect!
Uncle drove in and stopped outside the garden gate.
" Oh my god! This is beautiful." I thought
Just like the Disney name it got, it also looks magical. All the pretty little roses stood there in the perfect pattern. I really felt bad for these roses. I am sorry that I have to pluck out you guys.
" Hey, please don't damage any of those beautiful children of mine. Just pluck them out using your hands, arrange them by the gate, turn the soil and plant those tulips , I'll just plant the roses at my sister's house. " Granny spoke from the gate.
Was she standing there? Never saw her. If this old lady is planning to stand here till I complete this work, I am going to kill her.
" And plant those tulips in a colorful way."
Thankfully she walked away after saying that.
" Uncle, you don't have to do anything. Just take rest in the truck, I got this." I said with a wink.
" Umm I..
He was saying something but it was surely not something that I would like to hear so here it is!
I took out the bottle and here comes a smile on his face. He took the bottle and got in the truck.
I started with plucking all the roses and arranging them by the gate. Now the time has arrived!
I took out the shovel from my small truck and started to dig the soil.
Even after straight up digging for ten whole minutes, I still couldn't find his body. Is Amanda so strong to dig deep?
I dug again and again till finally the shovel hit on something. My heartbeat rose and my hands started to shake. I looked around to see if anyone was watching me. As I continued to dig deep on that area and finally saw his body lying there. His body was slightly greenish and his eyes looked lifeless and weird like that of a dead fish. There were blood stains coming from his mouth and nose. I couldn't bear that rotten smell. Sweat fell off my forehead to the ground. I felt like to throw up on top of that and I held it back by covering both my nose and mouth with my hands.
I took out the gloves from my pocket and wore it to pull out the body.
I took a deep breath and pulled out the body with all my strength. And I threw it behind the truck and covered it with a blue sheet. I know it's not at all safe, but I got no other choice. After all the work, I got in the truck and saw uncle Paul sleeping on the seat with the empty bottle lying on the car floor.
I drove the truck outside the gate at the right time when the security went to eat breakfast. I took a right from the house gate and a police car came opposite. Why? Just why? Why now?
