Allison was doing up the last buttons on her top, grabbed her bag and couldn't hide the smile as she flew out of her home and ran to the sports car; Eric in the drivers' seat waiting for her.
She took one look at him, still running and got in.
In no time they were in the country on a winding road and there before them was the estate.
The other cars were already there.
The gravel chips under the tyres cracked as they drove quietly up and stopped.
Allison noticed her brother Grants' 4WD but not David's.
She wasn't surprised to see her two sisters cars.
Eric took her by the hand and they entered.
The door was open.

The inside was magnificent.
An arched staircase rising from a black and white chequered floor.
Enormous palms and ferns reaching high and elegant, huge windows letting the light stream in.
Allison knew where they were and pulling his hand they went towards the livingroom.
The doors opened and she was faced with everyone sitting quietly except David. Her younger brother looked like a statue; a slightly unusual pose. Her sisters looked up, like her other brother Grant with eyes... Eric closed the doors.
David moved ever-so slightly forward with still, an unusual stance.
Kate: 'Somebody has to say something.' Yelled in frustration and gasped.
Allison looked at her then to David as he revealed a pistol. She froze, turned to Eric who looked the same.

David: 'Now that we are all here.' Calmly with pistol. 'There is only one choice you all have.' He produced a piece of paper and placed it on the table in the middle.
'All you have to do is sign that I take this house and half the business.' Exclaimed sneering.

They all stared at him. He calmly aimed the pistol at his older sister Julie who was closest to the table. Julie didn't know what to do or how to react.
David: 'You have less than a minute or I will shoot.' Coldly.
Grant reacted by moving in his chair not believing what his younger brother was saying.
No one else dared move.
David: 'Ten seconds.' Business-like.
Allison backed into Eric who responded by putting his arms around her.
Simone was hysterical sitting opposite her sister Julie.
David: 'Sign.' Calmly.

Everyone yelled.
Grant jumped up.
Eric pushed Allison to the floor behind a chair to protect her.
David swung the pistol to Grant as if he didn't know him then back to Julie. Julie was surprisingly calm and slowly, deliberately reclined in the chair. David, this time shot her in the leg.
Julie screamed and gripped the armrests in sheer pain.
Simone screamed, trembled then fainted.
This time Grant leaped up and found the pistol pressing into his stomach.

This time Grant leaped up and found the pistol pressing into his stomach.
David: 'Sit.' With venom.
Grant took a couple of steps back then, with the look in his brothers' eyes he went for the pistol.
David fired again and Grant spun around with his side covered in blood and his shirt ripped open. He fell to his knees.
David turned back to Julie. 'Sign you bitch.'

A pool of blood was surrounding her shoes. Eric didn't know what to do. He turned and ran for the doors.
David aimed in his direction and fired three times.
A slumping sound was heard as the doors flew open and splinters of wood sprayed everywhere.
Allison looked out desperately to see if Eric made it. She couldn't see.

David calmly sat in the chair opposite Julie, next to a motionless Simone. Pointing the pistol at her body.
David: 'You either sign or pay the consequences.'

Julie: 'Go to hell...' Trying to stop the bleeding and slipping in the blood.
Grant watched helplessly as David fired again at Julie. At the same time Allison was walking towards David with her top open.
Grant watched as the pistol was pointed at him.
One more shot was fired.
Allison sauntered up to him.
Allison: 'You got a little bit of blood on you.' Smiled suggestively.
David looked at her, 'god she was beautiful'. He stiffened. Then spasmed with a look of surprise, fell to the floor.

'You can be such an idiot.' Held the knife behind her back.
Eric: 'The police are on their way.'
This broke the silence and startled her.
He stood with his hands behind his back looking at her. She turned and faced him, with a smile, the knife by the thumb and fingertips and walked towards him.
Allison: 'I know it was a two way deal...' Tried to look concerned. 'But don't you think it's better just split my ways?' She lunged the knife into his stomach.
Her eyes went wide in delirium as a shot was fired behind him.
The knife managed to cut off a shirt button.
'Yet another slump.' She thought.

Allison kept on walking out into the morning sun not waiting for the police.
