Page 2 of Deadly Breakup


  ****

  It was a week later and Zax was standing before the jury in the court room.

  ‘’Did you go to her place on the day she died?’’ Jackson the prosecutor asked.

  ‘’I guess so,’’ Zax said ‘’otherwise I wouldn’t be here’’

  ‘’Said she called you for what help?’’

  ‘’I don’t know, she said it was not to be said on the phone’’

  ‘’And when you reached her place, you claim you found her dead in a pool of blood?’’

  ‘’I’m not claiming, that’s the truth’’

  ‘’And what do you say was the relationship between you two, any misunderstanding or something?’’

  ‘’She was my girlfriend, I mean my ex-girlfriend’’

  ‘’We have got a tape of you, confessing that she left you for a rich man’’

  ‘’That wasn’t a confession, I was only replying to what I’d been asked’’

  ‘’Why did you kill her you son of a…..’’

  ‘’Hey Mr. Jackson, I don’t think there’s any reason to insult here, I understand it almost always come out intimidating but not in this room please’’ The Judge said.

  ‘’My apology’’ Jackson said ‘’guess I’ve no more questions now’’

  ‘’yeah, only some rough-cut questions and vulgar!’’ someone from the audience shouted.

  ‘’Mr. Brown,’’ the judge said ‘’anything you would want to add up?’’

  ‘’Yes your honor,’’ Brown was the man representing Zax, he stood up and said ‘’what my friend left out here was that my defendant here was framed, it’s not just a story he decided to implicate here, right Zax?’’

  Zax said nothing.

  ‘’Right zax?’’ Brown said again.

  ‘’I don’t know what implicate means sir’’

  Brown continued. ‘’We are not considering that she might have gone out with the wrong man, who possibly made cash out of killing people’’

  ‘’Are you trying to call the whole thing a spiritual take life sacrifice Mr. Brown?’’ Jackson asked.

  ‘’What I’m trying to say is, we have only concentrated on one suspect here, what about the other people in her life’’

  ‘’We don’t need to, we have the evidence with us, that proves that your man did it’’ Jackson said.

  ‘’Shut up, asswip….. Sorry your honor, guess I’ve no further words’’

  ‘’Mr. zax,’’ the judge said ‘’anything to say before sentence is passed?’’

  ‘’And please wipe your nose!’’

  ‘’I haven’t got anything to say, only I never killed my ex-girlfriend’’

  It wasn’t long before the jury came up with what seemed to be done. ‘’We voted to hang him on the first ballot’’

  Sherriff Kelvin led Zax , his hands cuffed behind his back, to the gallows. Zax was all right until he got to the steps, then began to buck and cry.

  ‘’Don’t do this,’’ he said ‘’please don’t do this, I did not kill her!’’

  ‘’Quit it and die like a man!’’ someone shouted.

  Without wasting any more time, a man jammed the hood over Zax’s head and pulled it down to his shoulders. Zax tried to run off the trap door. Sherriff Kelvin and a man pulled him back onto it.

  The man pulled the leaver. The greased beam retracted and the trap dropped. So did Zax. There was a crack when his neck broke. Brown shit and pee dripped under his feet.

  ‘’There you bastard!’’ someone shouted ‘’died pissing like a dog fireplug. Welcome to hell’’ A few people clapped.

  ****

  The next day, Sheriff Kelvin ran up to Mr. Brown. ‘’Hey Brown, I’ve got something to show you’’

  ‘’What is it?’’ Brown said not seeming interested.

  ‘’This…’’ he gave it to him.

  ‘’A diamond ring?’’

  ‘’Yeah, found it in Zax’s feces’’ Brown had to drop it.

  ‘’What were you thinking playing with a man’s shit?’’

  ‘’Let’s just say the case has been solved, that bastard did kill her for sure’’

  THE END…..
