More Chapter 15

     Xation stood there for a moment in silence before he went back into the living room; where his wife and Charles sat rigidly in the tense atmosphere. Xation sat down next to his wife, he glanced over at the broken shards of the dessert plate on the hardwood floor, he looked over at Charles who said nothing and had no expression of emotion on his face. "Leah.., " he paused putting his arm around her "I want you to go upstairs and get ready for bed."
     She gave Charles a frightened look, staring over at him she stood up, muttering something to Xation of which Charles did not hear. Then, as she passed by him, Charles took in a deep breath smelling the scent of her sweet perfume as she left the room. Then the two men were left alone for a moment. Charles watched the expression on Xation's face turn from shame to joy as he told Charles how happy he was to be able to go upstairs and be with his wife. Charles agreed and then excused himself to go out to his room to unpack his suitcase. "I just want to take a nice hot shower, and get clean, then get some rest." he said shaking Xation's hand, thanking him for welcoming him into his home once more.
     Xation smiled and laughed telling Charles he was more than happy to invite him into his home. With that Charles watched as Xation ascended the grand staircase then he went back out to the spacious pool house going to the bedroom where he had hidden the loaded pistol. It was about ten minutes later when he heard Lexa shouting as she stood naked in front of an open window where Xation could be heard cursing her name. "Lexa I will fucking kill you with my own two hands!"
     Lexa fell on her knees as Xation pushed her violently to the hardwood floor enraged as he discovered the truth when he stripped her naked in a passionate gesture. When he saw no scar from the birth of Leah's child he choked the truth out of her. And just as his world collapsed, along with his mental state, Xation crawled up from behind her, naked he fell hard against her and, just as he reached out for the final time, wrapping his large strong hands around her neck he squeezed tightly and Lexa saw white spots appear in her eyes and just as those little white spots began to turn black she heard a loud explosion and felt something wet, warm and sticky splatter all over her naked back and shoulders.
     Xation collapsed in a heavy heap on top of Lexa, who heard someone shrieking then she realized it was her, as Charles stood there holding a gun in his hand begging her to stop screaming. "You killed him?" she said in a whisper as tense as wire.
     "Yes." Charles smiled "Xation Day is dead."
     Lexa gazed down at the corpse in morbid fascination, at the gunshot wound in Xation's head, then she looked up at Charles, who had flipped Xation on his back, Lexa had a sudden look of fear flash from her eyes as she asked "What do we do now?" her voice sounding strange as she knelt there stark naked with Xation's blood and brains dripping down her back, staining her long blond hair.
