2. Gangster Guido reviews the financial records, notes the loss of money at the strip club, and declares the current manager must be stealing money - and orders him to be rubbed out.
3. Dame Delores, considers her options after jumping from the car and crawling through the brush down the hill - go back to Sid and get beaten up more, or catch a bus back to Topeka.
4. Lindsey smiles, knowing with a flick of her hair she'll get another free drink and a cab ride home versus walking ten blocks in the rain.
5. Becky wrestled the boat to the shore and pushed off, the oars echoing loudly across the pond in the morning mist.
6. Benson strolled slowly, the walk of death, down the hallway to the office of Sanders - knowing the verbal assault was coming, and wishing he was riding his scooter to the lake instead.
7. Gary lifted the box of motor parts to investigate the space behind, and spotting a mouse trap triggered it when picking it up, causing the spring bracket to slam his thumb. His gun fell to the floor, discharging, and blowing his left big toe into oblivion.
8. Sanders deftly trimmed the entrails of the fish with the fillet knife, dunked the slab of white firm flesh into a bowl of saltwater, then a bowl of crumbs, and placed it on the grill above the red coals.
9. Twickenfeld bundled up the canned food, scanning the aisle for out-of-place shoppers as they scurried to and fro, then headed to the self-checkout line trying to fit in as another casual father getting dinner.
10. Troy wondered if the curtains in the garage would burn, thinking it was a good idea after sneaking and drinking two brown bottles from Mr. Smith's cupboard - maybe he wouldn't notice they were missing if he had to deal with a small fire....
And now, the results, in reverse:
1. Blackward lit another match, the moist cigar struggling to burn, while he tipped back and finished another glass of vanilla porter, the warmth of the brew now coursing through his veins.
2. Guido reached into the cash register, bundling up the bills and rolls of coins, while keeping his Smith and Wesson leveled at the shocked customers, the ringing from the blast and blue smoke receding slowly.
3. Delores trimmed the browned edges of cabbage leaves fresh from her garden, before giving them a final rinse and adding them to the slow cooker for soup.
4. Lindsey paused and said, “Sorry Joe, you should have known it wouldn't take an in-depth investigation to find out you cheated on me. See you in Hell.” Her aim true, the automatic barked sharply twice, Joe slumping to the floor with a rattle and groan, a pool of blood slowly forming beside him.
5. Strolling nonchalantly to the car and leaving Ted behind in Lover's Lane, Becky assumed the care-free air of a happy coed, in contrast to her sharp retort, “Yeah, jackass, and you thought voting against Hillary was gonna be smarter for keeping your job. How's that working out? Have a nice walk back to the dorm.”
6. Rowing quietly to the middle of the lake, Benson reached down and pushed the body wrapped in a cheap cotton blanket overboard with a splash, the chain and anchor rattling metallically against the side of the aluminum boat. “See you in Hell, Sanders.”
7. Gary slowed to a walk, the rain coming down harder now and wisps of steam rising from his hot arms and chest. He flicked droplets of water off his sunglasses, to clear his vision and observe the ladies eyeing him from passing cars.
8. Sanders could hear Benson tracking him, and contemplated on charging him to get his gun, or laying low and silent in the brush and hoping not to be discovered. What made him snap?
9. Twicken spoke softly, but with urgency. “I've reviewed our stores of ammunition, and like Washington back in the Revolutionary War, we can't afford an extended assault or defense. Hit and run tactics are one of our few options.”
10. Troy examined the drawing in the old Scout manual carefully, and pondered whether or not the bungee cords could be used to craft the sling-shot, and if it could be used to hunt rabbits.
So far, I like Benson, a meek government employee, to snap and murder his boss.
