Apparently the going rate for three human lives in SC is $5,000. Go figure, eh? That's how much someone was willing to pay to off her two stepsons and a girlfriend.
Ready for the kicker?
Are ya?
No. Seriously. Are you?
I thought so. One of the two stepsons...? Is one of the boy's former best friends. We grew up together, he lived on the next street over, and we relieved him of his second hamster when he proved he couldn't keep it. Mainly because his first died within days of being bought and the second reason? His stepmother was nuttier than a frickin' fruitcake.
Obviously, since 15 odd years later she tried to hire someone to kill him, his girlfriend, and his decidedly odd older brother. Why? Why did she want them dead? To get them out of the house.
I'd snort, but it's sad. There is an amusing part though, once you get past the fact that she tried. to. hire. someone. to. kill. three. people.
Anyway, the amusing part came when the police went through the house [I'm too lazy to go downstairs and re-read why] and found cocaine. So all three of the 'victims' ended up in jail too. Ha!
No? Not funny? In poor taste?
This just blew my mind in a million little ways. I wonder how Princess will react. It's not like he's friends with Chris anymore, and I think i have more contact with him than the boy does [remember, kids, shop at walgreens in the middle of the night cuz ain't nothin' else on the goddamned island open. *dies*] still... Who thinks their former bestfriend will narrowly escape death in that sort of form?
Huh. And how did I find out about it? Dad was reading the paper and had a small field day with this. Not to say he was amused, except for the jail bit at the end. Anyway.
Sorry if you had to hear about this twice, but enh. How often does that happen?
