Sunday came faster than she expected, and Megan had to admit to herself, she was excited. Her shift on Saturday seemed to last forever and she could barely focus on work. Friday night had been more than she had hoped for but when he asked her on this date, she realized why she had said yes. Not because he was going to help her with music, but because there was actually something genuinely nice and sincere about him. She really actually kind of liked him and wondered just what would happen tonight. She stood outside her place, having decided her place was too much of a mess to show him and waited, her fingers fiddling together. She was nervous, for sure, but excited all the same. Hopefully nothing went wrong...

Cash has one arm around Cleo, a cigarette dangling from his lips, smoke floating into the stale hotel air as his free hand flicks through what little channels the shitty t.v had. He pauses on the girls gone wild advert, sneaks a devilish side glance at Cleo, smirks, and then continues on.

Reporter: McGilligan’s Bar on North St was the scene of a horrific crime scene Sunday. Youngstown PD is saying it’s the worst crime in the city’s history.  Witness cut scene: “I don’t know how someone could do such a thing.”  According to the police department, 6 bodies have been found inside, all brutally murdered. One of the bodies was that of 24-year-old Melissa Hancock, bartender and daughter. Mother cut scene: “Melissa was such a good girl. She worked so hard. She was saving money, wanted to go back to school to be a nurse. Now she’ll never get that.”

Cash rolled his eyes. Pathetic bitch crying over her even more pitiful daughter. Everyone’s kid was ‘such a good person’ before they died, that’s the standard, cookie cutter thing you say when someone dies. It makes him want to vomit. For all her idiot mother knew, precious baby girl was blowing guys in the back alley for a couple extra dollars a shift, a couple extra dollars to fun a crack habit. It’s all such bullshit. He takes a drag off the cigarette and blows the smoke out hard and sharp like a dagger towards the television set and the picture of the reporter spewing sympathies.  And he wonders how long it’ll take the police to link the murders at the bar to that of his mother. Perhaps they should be moving -- gone like, yesterday -- but he’s not worried, they’re invincible in his mind.

“Look, babe, we’re famous now.”
