What if the Chinese took a little longer to reach Trevor & Michael in North Yankton?
Alternatively, what was going on in Michael's head?
As Michael rushed through the streets of Ludendorff, his heart felt as if it were trying to leap out of his chest. A part of him knew this moment would come, and he dreaded it. Or perhaps, he anticipated it. Was he here because he really thought he could stop Trevor? Or did he want to see him find out? Maybe a part of him was yearning for this moment.
Michael lowered a window for fresh air to ease the anxiety; it was as cold as he remembered it. The moon illuminated brightly over the fields and streets covered in snow. As he continued to drive, memories of the deal flashed in his mind. His soul ached with regret.
Did he regret what he did? How could he not? But he did what he needed to do to protect himself and his family. There was no other choice. Thatâs what he kept telling himself. The guilt only managed to set in when Trevor walked back into his life. The man was deranged, an asshole, and would murder without a second thought. Michael was a murderer too, but at least he felt guilty about it.
Whatâs done is done. It doesnât matter how guilty I feel about it; it doesnât change anything.
Michael parked outside the cemetery, and darted towards his own grave. âHis grave.â In reality, it was really Bradâs grave. Trevor was already there, digging it out.
Michael held onto hope; the only potential way out of this was to play it cool. âYouâre wasting your time.â He spoke to him.
âOh yeah?â Trevor retorted with fury in his tone. âIs that why you flew all the way down here? Huh? To tell me Iâm wasting my time?â
Maybe I can discourage him by pretending I donât care about it.
âGo ahead. Dig it up. I donât give a shit.â Michael lied.
âYeah, thatâs what you look like. A guy who doesnât give a shit.â
Michael waved his hand in dismissal and pretended to start walking away. âAh, this is ridiculous.â
âHow long are you going to keep lying for Mikey, huh? Whenâs it going to stop?â Trevor pressed.
Michaelâs blood ran cold. He turned back to Trevor, listening to him.
âWhat happens in the dark, comes out in the light.â A wide smile of determination formed on Trevorâs face, as if he knew he was going to find exactly what he was looking for. And he was.
Michaelâs heart clenched in dread.
âGive it a rest Trevor.â He managed to say calmly. âThereâs nothing there!â
Trevorâs shovel clunked against the coffin. âThis is it.â He stopped for a breath. âMoment of truth.â Trevor gave Michael one last look in the eyes, as if he were giving him one last chance to finally talk.
Michael shifted his head and shrugged. He shifted to investigate the hole as Trevor did, feeling extreme nausea.
And there it was. âUGGH! As if I didnât know.â Trevor cried out as he gestured to the corpse. âBrad.â
âLook, we gotta do what we gotta do to survive.â Michael justified. âThis thing, it didnât work out the way it was supposed to.â
âOh, and how was that?â Trevorâs voice escalated. âWith Brad in the can and me in the ground? Or-or-or both of us in the coffin?â
âBrad got shot. You saw it! He didnât make it. I got shot, I did. That, thatâs it!â Michael protested.
Trevor sat himself up out of the ditch he dug. âI think the only thing that didnât go as planned was me showing up on your doorstep ten years later.â He shifted from squat to full standing. âMikey.â Pointing at him, âI mourned you.â
