Season1/Chapter6
"Threesome"
The Motel 6 on U.S.1 was as expected. It was compact, quiet, clean and had multiple entry points. Anderson Reed walked in and said, "Hi. I need a room." The desk clerk was an older woman who looked tired and worn-out. She said, "How many nights will you be staying?" Anderson Reed pondered for a second and said, "Three days. I think for the weekend. So, Today, Saturday and Sunday." She started typing in the computer and said, "Alright, How many adults in the room?" Reed said, "Just me." The woman looked at him. She thought, "Yeah, sure, I've heard that one before." She continued typing. She then said, "Okay, checkout will be on Sunday at 11:00 AM. I need a credit card." Reed gave her a frosty look. He then said, "Hey, How much?" The woman fiddled with the computer and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. It will cost $95.95 per night and it will be 319.95 for three nights, including taxes." Reed gave her an even harder look. He took out the credit card and gave it to her. He said, "Price has gone up a bit since I last stayed here." "When was the last time you stayed here?" "Oh, it was years ago."
It was almost 7:00 PM and Eleanor Kingston arrived near the Motel 6. She parked a few blocks away and walked to the motel. As she walked, she thought to herself, "Just like old times. For f*cks sake, what was I thinking back then." She arrived at the motel and made her way to the room Reed had texted her. The room was at the farthest end of the property. It was on the second floor and it didn't appear that many people were around. The parking lot was not full in this part of the motel complex. Most of the guest appeared to be in rooms closer to the center of the building. At least, that's what she thought because of where all the cars were parked. She had a large hand bag and she held on to it tightly. She made her way to the stairwell and up to the second floor. She got to the room and knocked on the door.
Reed answered the door. He had a plastic cup in hand. Eleanor entered the room and looked around. Reed gave her a vicious smile and said, "Hello Ellie. Glad you could make it." Eleanor did not respond. She was scanning the room. She noticed the two beds with the orange accent wall behind. She looked at the small table in the corner and saw "Jack Daniels Black Label old number 7." She noticed that it was almost empty. There was another bottle of "Jack Daniels Silver Select Tennessee Whiskey." That one was open and looked like Reed had gone through half of it. She looked at Reed and said, "I see you've been having a one man party." Reed walked over to her and said, "Well yes, the party has started. But, I wouldn't say it was a one man party." Reed looked over at the bathroom door and a man walked out. He said, "Hi. My name is Jack." Reed smiled and said, "I figured, the more, the merrier." Then he laughed.
Eleanor's heart skipped a beat. She was not expecting this. Reed sat on the bed and he said, "I invited my friend Jack to tag along. Since we are rekindling are old ways, I figured why not. Let's make it a threesome." He looked at Jack and Jack looked at Eleanor. They both laughed. Eleanor was standing there deciding. Reed said, "First things first. Let's have the money." Eleanor said, "There is no money." Reed got serious fast. His buzz was now gone. He screamed, "What? What do you mean there is no money?" Eleanor said, "I need more time." She back away from both men, Reed on the bed and Jack next to the bathroom. They both looked agitated. Eleanor said, "I thought we could work something out until I could get the money." Reed was still sitting on the bed and now he leaned back, laid down. Jack started heading for the small table to make himself a drink and that's when it happened.
Eleanor pulled out a survival hunting knife from her hand bag. The knife was stainless steel and 14 inches in length. She moved fast, faster then she ever thought possible. She went for Jacks carotid artery and she did not miss. One deep and swiping pass was all she needed. Jack grabbed for his neck and collapsed. Reed was on the bed sprawled out with his eyes closed. By the time he heard Jack hit the ground, he opened his eyes only to see Eleanor in mid-flight descending upon him. She had the blade overhead, gripped by two hands and heading down to his center mass. He gasped in surprise and that cost him dearly. The blade came down and punctured between the chest cavity. Before he could react, Eleanor in a state of psychotic rage stabbed him another three times. She continued until the count reached 20 plus. There was blood everywhere. She stopped after she realized that Reed was dead. She sat in the blood next to his corpse. She was breathing heavily but it was subsiding. She then said, "How's that for a threesome. F***ing A**hole."
