Unsolved

Hey Bill pass me a beer, Tom screams as he props his feet up on the old beat up coffee table in front of him. "Thanks man", he says to Bill. The game is about to start,2 minutes and counting says Tom. They both sit there staring at the t.v., Tom on the 70's era couch with big ugly flowers and Bill in the lazy boy.

Tom is a short stocky man in is mid fifties with half the hair he used to have. Bill on the other hand is about 5 years older, tall and very thin with thick long black hair that curls at the ends. Tom Has always been an alcoholic, ever since he came back from the Vietnam War. He of course blames it on the war and the things he had seen. Bill is the type that is divorced with one kid he barley knows and has always said "he was the reason she left". I guess you could say he drinks his sorrow's away. The two men were best friends all throughout high school but lost contact after they graduated, until about a year ago. They ran into each other at the corner store, Tom had been looking for a roommate for quite a while now. They started to talk and Tom told Bill about his situation. Bill said he had an extra room and that if he would pay half the rent he could move in today. Tom agreed and moved in that same day.

"Hey Bill you fallin asleep over there?", Tom says with his poor vocabulary. "I guess so" Tom says as he make his way to his bedroom which is in the back of the house. He takes off his shoes while stumbling over to the end of the bed. He lays down just as the room begins to spin. He tries to focus on something but he feels the urge to vomit. so he just closes his eyes and falls asleep.


A man walks up to the house with black gloves on. He had a 9mm in one had and a crowbar in the other. He looks into the living room window and sees Bill sleeping in the recliner. He then walks toward the back of the house, while on his way looking into every window. He comes to a small window that he thinks he can fit through. He gently tries to open the window, it won't budge. He uses the crowbar to pry it open and quietly climbs through the window.

He first walks into the bathroom in front of him, checks it then walks out. He makes his way down the hallway to the back bedroom where he finds Tom sleeping, smelling like a bottle of beer. He slowly picks up a throw pillow off the foot of the bed. He quietly walks over to the side of the bed where Tom is sleeping. He looks down at him and puts the pillow over the side of Toms head. He puts his gun right up to the pillow and fires.


He then walks fast down the hallway and into the living room. Walks right up to Bill and shoots him numerous times in the stomach, arms, leg and shoulder. Then the Man takes off his gloves, puts the gun and gloves in his pocket then walks right out the front door. Bill is still alive, he tries to get out of the chair and stand up but his leg is so bad that he falls to the ground. He knows that he is too weak to walk to the phone, so he tries to crawl. He makes it halfway and notices that he is bleeding to death, "I have to go faster",Bill thinks to himself. The more he moves the more blood he looses. He finally makes it to the phone, picks it up and dials 911.

Hello 911, what is your emergency? The lady on the other end asks. Bill starts to tell her the address of his house but the lady interrupts him,"Ok but sir I need to know your name and what your emergency is". Listen here bitch im dying and I think my friend is already dead, so I am going to tell you my address and you are going to send an ambulance right now. So he gave the lady the rest of the address and hung up the phone.


"Ok now all I have to do is stay alive long enough for the ambulance to get here", Bill says outloud. Bill is now laying in a pool of blood. I don't think Im gonna make ,he cannot even think right. His body is loosing more and more blood every second and he is getting very weak at this point. It has been 20 minutes since he talked to the lady on the phone. He drifts off to sleep, the worst thing he could do. He wakes up to a knock on his door. He thinks to himself "since when do paramedics knock?" COME IN!



They put Bill on a stretcher and into the ambulance. Another one of the paramedics walk into the back of the house and checks Toms pulse. "This mans still alive get me another stretcher QUICK" the man says. They put them both into the truck and pull off in a hurry. The hospital is only 10 minutes away. All of a sudden they loose Bills heartbeat, his machine is making that awful noise everyone hates to hear. They try to bring him back. But they have no luck..hes gone. They cover him with a white sheet, as if nothing happend.


They wheel Tom into the operating room and begin surgery right away. He has a bullet lodged in his skull right beside his eye socket. It has damaged his eye so bad that they had to remove it. They finished up and said that Tom was going to live. The next day Tom woke up not remembering what had happened to him and his friend Bill.

Whats going on, where am I? Tom asked as the nurse gave him a drink of water. You are in the hospital she said calmly. Where is Bill? Is he ok? Tom is asking so many questions, so the nurse gets the doctor and he explains everything to Tom. Asking him what his name is and where he lives. Tom answers correctly. So, says Tom, your telling me someone shot me in the damn head and killed my friend?
Yes said the doctor Im sorry but it is the truth.


The cops came in shortly after the doctor and started to ask Tom all sorts of questions having to do with him and Bill. They asked him if he was in any trouble or if he or Bill had any enemies. "NO" said Tom. He wanted to just go home, so Tom told the police he has no idea who shot him or what happend. So they let him go and Tom went to stay with his mother.


No one knows who shot those two men that day .They think it was Bill's son , but have no further evidence to prove anything. They even found the gun, but no prints.


I guess you can say this case is unsolved.
