hope you cooled out some Trailer Park.”
                  “Yeah I did Jim,” Paul said, “and look Jim, I’m sorry. I know I fucked up, but…”
                  “That’s right you fucked up,” Jim said, “now let me ask you something Trailer Park…”
                  “What is that?”
                  “Do you know what the best thing about living on an island is?”
                  “No Jim, what’s the best thing about living on an island?”
                  “Well I’ll tell you Trailer Park you dumb mother-fucker,” Jim said. “The best thing about living on an island is that you don’t have to dig a hole to get rid of the body. You just take the body out into the ocean and dump it, and let all the little sea creatures eat the remains.”
     
                  Jim and Mike laughed in evil unison.
     
                  “Come on Jim! Enough of this… I got it,” Paul cried.
                  “How about enough of you stabbing me in the back Trailer Park, and screwing around with my bitch!”
                  “I’m sorry Jim,” Paul pleaded, “I don’t know what I was thinking.”
                  “Hey Trailer Park,” Jim said, “I want to ask you something else.”
                  “What’s that?”
                  “Did you go home and look for this?” Jim said, and then showed Paul his gun.
                  “Oh shit! Jim no!” Paul screamed, as Jim pushed the barrel of the .38 pistol to his forehead.
                  “Jim don’t kill me! Please Jim don’t kill me!”
     
                  “Mike grab the rope.”
                  “Got it Jim.”
                  “Relax Trailer Park,” Jim said, “What I have planned for you scumbag will make you wish I capped your ass and let it go at that.”
     
                  “So what are you going to do with the gun,” Paul asked, regretting the question as soon as he asked it.
                  “Watch and see,” Jim said, and then smashed Trailer Park in the nose with the butt of the gun.
     
                  Paul heard the crack of his nose breaking echo in his skull as blood exploded from his face.
     
                 
                  “Cut him Mike,” Jim said.
                  “Heeh heeh,” Mike laughed, as he used Trailer Park’s knife to slice him across the forehead, and then stabbed him in the left shoulder.
     
                  Paul howled with pain. He lost his grip, and fell back into the water.
                 
                  “Hey Trailer Park,” Mike said. “Watch out for sharks!” Then Mike began singing the theme from the movie Jaws .
     
                  Jim rocketed the boat across the water dragging Trailer Park further out into the ocean. After a few minutes Jim cut the engine again. Tyler brought The Sea Howler along side The Bitter End .
     
                  “So what’s the plan Jim?”
                  “We are going to finish things up right here Tyler,” Jim said. “Mike, pull Trailer Park up to the side while I get Alyssa. I don’t want him to miss what happens next.”

                  “How long did Jim say they were going to take Katrina,” April asked.
                  “He didn’t say,” Katrina said, “He just said he would call.”
                  “When are they going call, and what are they doing?”
                  “I don’t know April,” Katrina said, “Just chill the fuck out. Have a beer and listen to some music.”
                  “Oh you aren’t gonna be all Dick-whipped already,” April said, “Are you?”
                  “Katrina was whipped
