Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Three Scott
Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Three
Scott
Scott Moyes stood in front of a house with a wounded face and a basket of flowers in his hand. When the door opened, he said, "Hello sister, are you really surprised to see me, Beatrice?" Then he added, "You're wearing a mask; you really care about your skin!"
Beatrice, stepping aside and inviting Scott into the house, said in surprise, "Scott, why did you come here?"
Scott, sitting on the couch, said, "Are you very upset to see me?"
"It's true, I am upset because I don't know why you came here so suddenly."
"You've really become a coward; I'm your brother! Why are you afraid of me? I won't hurt you."
"You're right."
Beatrice placed the basket of flowers on the table and sat in the darkness on the single chair opposite Scott.
Scott said in surprise, "This house is very dark, I can't see your face."
Beatrice said, "I really like the dark." Then she changed the subject and asked, "Is your life going well, Scott?"
"Great; why do you ask?!"
Beatrice said, "I don't like flowers." She paused and said, "I noticed your face is badly damaged."
"I fought with the restaurant owner and got fired."
Beatrice said, "So tell me why you came to see me? I don't have time."
"You tell me why you were afraid to see your brother?"
"I'm worried you'll talk about the past."
Scott, searching his pockets for his cigarette box, said, "Actually, it's a good topic. Why did you make this plan, what was your goal?"
"Obviously, to help you and Josh."
Scott, lighting a cigarette, said, "Don't lie; that's not what you're afraid to admit."
"There doesn't always have to be a reason, I just helped my brothers."
"You're lying again! What was your motive for planning to ruin Martin's life?"
"Some things don't need a motive."
"But you destroyed two people's lives!"
Beatrice said in surprise, "Two people!"
"Amy and Martin."
Beatrice laughed and said, "As long as there is no evil, goodness has no meaning! Do you really think Amy's life is ruined?"
"Those strange calls were your doing; it was more like a game you enjoyed."
"I enjoy doing bad things more."
"I don't understand, you mean you enjoyed making Martin look crazy and framing him as a murderer?!"
Beatrice shrugged and said, "Yes, I enjoyed every step of my plan. Wasn't it really beautiful?!" Then she laughed and after a few moments said, "I read somewhere that a killer, just as he was killing someone, said 'he had a heart of gold.'"
Scott leaned forward a bit and said, "He was crazy like you."
Beatrice said, "I am an efficient lunatic who used my plan to help Josh get to the company and you." Scott interrupted her and said nervously, "I didn't know you enjoyed doing these things?!" Then he stood up to leave.
Beatrice suddenly pulled out a gun and with a smile said, "Wait, Scott, I was just starting to enjoy talking to you."
"What are you doing?"
