after that, leaving Randy behind him after giving him the numbers for any questions he may have.
    Randy closed and locked the front door and immediately started laug h ing; he just couldn’t hold it in anymore. Somehow the entire situation just seemed so humorous.
    “What’s so funny, Rand ’?” The quiet voice came from behind him. Randy turned to see the man sitting in his leather recliner, his wide eyes staring right into his.
    The smile the man had usually worn was gone.
    “Who are you?” Randy replied, not expecting an answer.
    “The names Walter. My father told me about you a few months ago.”
    “Your father?”
    “Yes, that’s right. You may not believe this but I’m your brother.”
    “My brother?”
    “Once again, yes.”
    “What do you want with me? Why are you doing all this?”
    “It’s simple, Rand ’ ole pal. I want to compete with you. It’s already o b vious that I’m the better killer in the family, especially considering that I killed dad and a whole lot more as well.”
    “You killed dad? Why?”
    Walter shrugged. “I felt like it. I like to do things I want to do.”
    “You’re sick.”
    “You’re the last person in the world to call me that. After what you did to your own family,” Walter grinned.
    “How’d you know how to find me? How do you know an y thing about me?”
    “I’ve been watching you for a while now. I watched you when you a t tacked and killed your wife and daughter. You really should trim back those bushes around the house; they’re perfect for someone to hide in.”
    “What do you mean compete?”
    “Simple, Rand ’ ole chum. Now pay attention, ‘cause I’m only gonna say this once. I’ll give you a name or two and where to find them and we see which one of us can get to them first.”
    “That’s unfair.”
    “It’s the rules. Don’t worry, I won’t cheat.”
    “What happens if I win?”
    “Then I’ll leave you alone. But if I win...” Walter trailed off for a se c ond, glancing outside the window. He looked back at Randy who stood patiently and continued. “Well, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.”
    Walter stood up and walked over to Randy until the two were standing face to face.
    “There are two girls. Twins actually, named Jeanne and Jenn,” Walter said. “They’re going to see a movie tonight with their boyfriends. Now remember, this is only a test run, mind you.” He turned to leave but before he exited the house, he paused and turned back to Randy and said, “I suggest you start looking for them at the theaters closest to here. Good luck.”
    With Randy standing with his mouth hanging open, Walter left, closing the door behind him.

    RANDY AND WALTER : KILLERS
     
    Chapter 3
     
    W est End Theater was located in the middle of town. It wasn’t as close as Caruthers Coffee so Randy had to drive. It took him a little more than an hour to get to West End . When he was finally pulling into the parking lot, the sun was already going down.
    Night time was coming closer and Randy didn’t know what the girls looked like or even what specific time they would be arriving. Nor did he know what movie they were going to see. As far as Randy could tell, there was nothing good playing. Just a couple of teenie-bopper pg-13 horror movies, an animated knock-off of some animated movie, and some stupid comedy about stoners. Just your everyday usual stuff, nothing really worth any money.
    Randy sat in his car for a few minutes, watching the few customers wal k ing into the theater. The theater itself was aged and decrepit. It looked like something straight out of a horror movie. The paint on the brick walls was peeling off and the glass doors were covered with a thin layer of dust.
    Someone had thrown up on the outside sidewalk and there was some sort of fungus growing between the cracks. All this Randy noticed as he left his car and walked towards the glass front doors. He was here once before when he was a kid.
    He and his
