The Killer Inside Me Page #3

So he fell...

all the way to the basement.

So what about it?

- Well, listen, I will tell you

what about it, Lou.

Conway, Chester Conway,

he didn't install the decking.

Oh, now, Joe.

You just haven't thought

this deal through properly.

See, I know you were

getting along all right

with Chester Conway,

and then he got a notion

to go non-union,

and, well,

that upset you, didn't it?

I understand that.

That's only natural.

But if you thought

that there had been a murder,

now Joe, you would've said

somethin' six years ago.

Am I right?

- Well listen, I am sorry

I troubled you for nothing, Lou.

I mean, I certainly enjoyed

our talk.

May I make a suggestion, Lou?

Certainly.

- Save the bullshit

for the birds.

All right?

Good night, Joe.

Lou.

[Groans]

Lou?

What're you doing?

Lou.

Amy, what're you doin' here?

Waitin' for you, upstairs.

- Somebody might've seen ya.

- No one did.

I snuck out after

my folks went to sleep.

Aren't ya glad?

Well, I wasn't expectin' you.

Well, my, such enthusiasm.

I'm sorry.

I shed my clothes for you

and my decency and...

you just say you're sorry.

Will I see you Sunday

for dinner?

Well, I can't, babe.

I told a fella

I'd do a favor for him.

I can't get out of it.

Shouldn't be too late.

Why don't you come on by

around 10:
00 and wait for me.

We're gonna have a talk,

talk about why you've acted

the way you have

these past few weeks.

Understand?

Yes, Miss Stanton.

So now, sleep well.

Bye.

I loved Joyce,

and there were times

when her voice

seemed to whisper to me,

"Forget it, Lou.

It's not too late

if you stop now."

But then I'd remember

Chester Conway,

and I knew I had to go through

with the plan.

Come on in.

Close the door behind ya.

Have a seat.

Well...

You got things all

fixed up for tonight, have ya?

Gonna wind this thing up

so it'll stay wound?

- Well, I'm not gonna

do anything.

I mean, I've done

all I'm gonna do, so-

- I don't think we better

leave it that way, Lou.

If that damn crazy Elmer

sees her again,

there's no tellin'

what'll happen.

I want you

to take the money yourself.

$10,000 in small bills.

Oh, I won't do that.

- Now, you take it,

and you pay her off,

and you bust her around

a little bit,

and you run her

out of the county.

Mr. Conway.

That's the way you do it.

You pay her, you bust her,
