"deLuca, Sandy - The Hunter's Moon" - читать интересную книгу автора (Deluca Sandy)

"What’s this?" Andra said. "There’s no clubs around here."
Byron chuckled and then his hands were around her neck. She kicked. Her arms flailed. He dragged her out of the car.
"Lucy, come here," he said still holding her neck with both hands. She looked at me, her eyes pleading.
I stood near him, pulled a knife out of his jean jacket and plunged it into her heart without a second thought. All that crap about being partners in crime had drained out of me, I wanted Byron more than anything and I wanted to watch her die.
We stood over her as life faded from her eyes—but something else was there—something yellow and sickly.
Byron kissed me. "It’ll be okay now. We’ll leave here, maybe go back East."
Byron opened the car door and then you guys sped around the corner.
He pulled a .45 out of his pocket. He wouldn’t put it down when you asked.
You both fired at the same time.
That’s my story—but I suppose you want to know more about the killings Andra and me did across the country.
I’ll tell you more, but I want you to take me to the morgue. I have to see Andra’s body one more time.
You see, I could have sworn the moon was shining in her eyes when she died.
I have to see if the Hunter’s Moon is still there.
I have to know if she took it with her to Hell.
