Gunshots at Meadowbrook Acres
Nothing But Voices Challenge

"Is that, the guy Ron, you are talking to?"
“ Yes, he is ordering, he must have fallen off the wagon, I haven’t seen him for a long time. Cindy told me he moved back home and he had gotten clean.”
” I wouldn’t be too sure of anything with that SOB, I heard that he had crossed over and was a CI now. A Sergeant with the state police came in the pizza place where he works.“
” I will handle this one Kathy, this bastard and I have another score to settle.“
”What was that Timmy?”
“My brother Jack and I kicked in the door to his apartment when he was living in the Havens, and tried to settle the score then, when we first got wind of him talking to, “the boys”, and we tried to kill that son of a bitch then.”
”What happened?”
“That squirrel, son of a bitch, had some specialized combat training, he almost killed Jack, by putting his foot on his throat. He knew how to do pressure points.”
”You had your "pieces" with you, didn't you?
” Yeah but we didn’t want to use them without the silencers.”
” Is that the guy who hit you in the head, with a hammer?"
'Yeah, that’s him, the perverted bastard.”
”His mother gave him the hammer to put up blinds or some dam thing.”
”She is about to loose her baby boy, that serves her right, for bringing him over that hammer. I had to go 40 minutes away to get 15 stitches in my head. I’ll handle this, where’s my piece?”
”What ya going to do Timmy?”
”I’m going to finish what I should have four months ago. He left me with a scar, the fucking deranged bastard.”
”What did you do Tony,? Did you empty the whole clip? Is he dead? I counted 15 shots.”
" How would I fucking know if he’s dead or not? I've got to get out of here quick!" Give me your phone, I've got to call Keith."
"Your brother?"
"Yes, my dam brother, and he better be home!"
"Allison, this is Timmy, let me talk to Keith."
"Timmy, he is busy right now, I can have him call you back?"
"No, Allison, put him on the phone right now, I just shot and killed Jenkins, and in a minute there is going to be cops crawling all over this place."
"Hang on Timmy, here he is."
"I need you to pick me up, fast, I just shot and killed Jenkins, and I need you to pick me up at Meadowbrook, fast and quick! I'm at Kathy's house, I will meet you at the bend, near the wooded area. In a few minutes, there will be cops all over this place. I shot off the whole clip."
"Is he dead?"
"I don't know, I said I shot off the whole clip. Keep your lights off, in a minute, this whole friggin place will be crawling with cops."
"Do you have the gun yet?" Okay, keep it in your possession, I will take you to Philadelphia tonight."
"I will leave right now, Timmy, don't panic, you did good, Bro, I am two minutes from you, we will handle this together."
"Kathy, don't tell anyone that I was here. The cops will probably be here, I left his phone in his car, they will probably be able to see that he called you. I didn't want to leave fingerprints, by reaching into the car."
"Okay, Timmy, but you realize that you are leaving me a fucking mess, don't you? I will do the best I can, Timmy, but I am not making you any promises, do you hear me?"
"You better Kathy, I mean it, don't tell anyone I was here tonight, or I will be back to get you, ya hear me?"
"Keep, your mouth shut Kathy!"
