When all of Peter's remains were meticulously picked up Vinny tossed his cigarette into the mop bucket full of blood. The place looked a lot better than before. All of Peter's remains were divided up into six large black hefty trash bags and piled neatly in the corner. The smell of human flesh had temporarily dissipated when Vinny tied the bags shut.
Vinny walked over to the fridge and pulled out two Budweisers. He offered one to Tina and she took it and they did drink. Then he walked over to the saw horse which had a tie-dye blanket neatly folded on top of it.
"It's time to play our game." He said lifting off the blanket and walking towards the couch," It's kind of like monopoly only better."
Vincent stood in front of the sofa and spread the blanket out in front of the floor. Tina sipped her beer and tried not to be so nervous. She didn't particularly care for the games he liked to play." Please come over here and sit." Ordered Vinny.
Tina obediently walked over to the blanket and sat in the lotus position. Vinny walked over to the work bench and slid open the drawer to the tool chest. Tina watched him pull out what looked like two dice from the tool chest. Vinny took the dice in his hands and blew on them removing the saw dust. He walked over to Tina while still concealing the dice in his hands.
"You know I used to hate these things in prison." He said holding out the dice," I lost my left eye because of these stupid dice. The inmates used to shoot craps all night long behind my cube while I was trying to sleep. One night it was 1:30 in the morning and they were still making a lot of noise behind my cube rolling those stupid dice betting on stamps and mackerels. I finally had enough of their noise and stabbed one of them in the back of the neck with a pen. Later that same guy attacked me with a lock in the sock."
Vincent gave her an imploring look like it somehow wasn't his fault.
"I'm sorry to hear that." She softly mumbled. But really she wasn't sorry to hear that and secretly she wished they would've killed him.
Vinny tossed the dice on the blanket and snapped his fingers.
"That's another thing they did in jail. They always snapped their fingers after they rolled."
It almost seemed to Tina that maybe Vinny was feeling a little nostalgic about prison. Did maybe he want to go back? Tina was a little surprised when she looked at the dice. Instead of the dice containing dots there were names and words written on each side. The first dice had what appeared black people names on it and the other dice had words of terror written on it. Tina squinted her eyes and carefully observed the dice. The first one read " Tony","Jamaal"," Wiggles"," Tyrone"," Prosecutor", and "Guard".
Tina flinched her eyes in frustration. Who the heck was Wiggles? Then she picked up the other dice and read it. The second dice read " Fire"," Strangulation"," Booby trap"," Bomb"," Kidnapping", and a "?".
"What exactly is this all about?" Asked Tina not understanding the dice.
Vinny picked up the dice and caressed them in his hand. He held the dice with the names on it in front of her face." These are the people that turned me into a monster." Then he held up the second dice with the catastrophes for her to see. " And this is what we're going to do to them." He let out an evil laugh similar to Dr.Evil's laugh from the movie Austin Powers. Vinny put his hand on her shoulder while he continued to laugh." And you my lucky girl are the one who gets to determine their fate."
Before she could say anything he bounced up and fetched a pen and paper from the work bench and then rejoined her on the blanket." You see it goes like this." Smiled Vinny," The FBI is pretty smart and eventually they might get inside my head and figure out my next move. But if I don't even know my next move how will they?"
Tina rubbed her eyes in dismay, cupped her hands over her mouth, and yawned. It was 3 AM and she was getting too tired for Vincent's shenanigans." I think I'm ready for bed." She said spreading out on the blanket.
"Oh, I know how to wake you up." He said pushing the button on his wrist watch. Tina felt an electric shock jolt through her neck."Ouch!" She cried while grabbing her neck.
"Did you forget that I can do that? Do we have to put the bag over your face?" Asked the freak. His yellow stained teeth looked like shark teeth when he grinned. Tina felt the burden upon her. Those people's fate was in her hands and Vinny was going to probably kill these innocent people.
"What did these people do wrong?" She finally asked.
Vinny told her the entire story about how his four students didn't like him and set him up for a crime he didn't do. Then he told her about the guard that almost dehydrated him to death by sticking him in a dry cell and not giving him any water. The doctors told him another hour he would've been dead from the dehydration. Poor Vinny couldn't walk or even have the strength to talk for weeks when he was finally hospitalized and rejuvenated. The whole story blew Tina's mind. She couldn't understand how a school teacher could turn into a serial killer and felt rather dubious as to whether or not he was really innocent.
"Enough talk! Let's play the game. Now roll the dice!" Shouted Vincent.
Tina paused for a moment and Vinny pushed the button on his wrist watch."Ouch!" She cried then rolled the dice on the blanket. The first dice said " Tyrone" and the second dice said " Fire". Vinny wrote the information on a piece of paper." Roll again" Ordered Vinny. Tina sat there crying and covered in tears. When she saw Vinny's finger get close to his wrist watch she rolled again. The dice read " Jamaal" and " Strangulation". Again he wrote the information down on paper. Just as she was about to roll a third time Vinny grabbed her hand.
"That's enough." He said," We'll have time to finish this game tomorrow and I want to milk this out because it's fun."
Tina had a disgusted look on her face and almost felt herself vomit. Her tonsils still hurt from all the vomiting earlier. Vinny picked the tie-dye blanket off the floor and threw it on the couch." Go ahead and get some rest. I'm not going to sleep because I have some work to do and I'm all wired up on crystal meth. Better get your sleep because we have a big day tomorrow."
Tina layed on the couch and covered herself with the blanket and closed her eyes. She could still hear Vinny's voice reverberate in her mind." If I don't know my next move, how will they?"
