Randy and Walter: Killers

by Tristan Slaughter

  She looked at him, or tried to. It was still dark. She was still quivering as she asked, “So, are you going to let me go?”

  “What’s your name?” he asked her.

  Hesitating, she answered, “Tiffany. Will you let me go?”

  His hand on her shoulder tightened. “No. I can’t let you go. This is who I am.”

  They sat in silence, in the darkness, for a time. Her body was still quivering. She still cried, but Randy had stopped crying. Neither of them said a word.

  Then he was upon her.

  She wasn’t expecting it. He had just grabbed her and threw her to the floor, her face smacking against the cement. She was becoming hysterical and shaking uncontrollably as Randy started to rip off her clothes.

  “Just be quiet. This’ll be over quick,” he breathed heavily.

  He stripped off all her clothes and threw the garments in a heap behind him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and without hesitation, he slammed himself into her. She clenched her teeth as he entered her most deepest place. She felt as though he was ripping her open, as if he had impaled her on a pole.

  In the darkness, the sharp grunts and yelps of pain traveled around the room and Randy kept his promise. He finished quickly and then stood up.

  She stayed on the basement floor, holding herself in pain. He would have left her there alone if only she’d kept her mouth shut. But she didn’t.

  “You’re worse than my father,” she said.

  Randy crossed the basement and the industrial light flicked on. They both had to squint their eyes in the brightness to adjust their vision. She looked up and saw that Randy stood above her completely naked. He looked down at her with a fierceness in his eyes. She knew she was about to feel a wrath she had never felt before by another human being. She turned away from him and sobbed.

  Randy snapped his hand onto the handle on the back of the industrial light, and with a thrust, he threw the light down towards her. It landed on her side and broke. The light went out immediately and they were left in darkness once more.

  She could feel the blood trickling across her naked body, from between her legs. The heat of the bulb had burned her and the glass from the shattered bulb had stuck into her skin. Tiffany tried to attempt to crawl away, to get out from under the dented housing of the light, but before she had gone a foot, she was kicked in the side of her head.

  Randy kicked her again and again. The kicks connected with the side of her head and then her face. She made another attempt to crawl away but this time he stepped down onto her back and raised his foot. He brought it down on the middle of her spine and heard a snap, like a tree branch run over by a car tire.

  He could feel her spine beneath his naked foot. In fact, he had to pull his foot away when he felt a sharp pain. A piece of bone had snapped through her skin and stabbed the bottom of his foot. He reached down and rubbed her back, searching for what had stuck him and sure enough, a piece of her spine had torn through her skin and was poking upwards.

  She was making no noise at all and her bladder had emptied itself across the basement floor. Still, she breathed. Very shallow, but she did breathe. He felt for a pulse. She was still alive, but just barely. He took his hand away and reached for the bone that protruded from her back. When his fingers found it, he grasped it tightly. With both hands gripped around the blood-wet bone, he yanked with all his might. It started to come away from her body as soon as he started pulling. He couldn’t see his deed, but he could sense that her body was spasming wildly as he pulled her spine clear out of her back.

  His feet were stepping in a mess that felt and smelt of shit. He didn’t notice this, though. He was just too busy ripping her spine from her body to notice such things. The bone was coming away easily. He pulled it as though he was tugging on a small rope. Within a few minutes he had completely extracted the spinal cord from her small form. He struggled to see through the dark so he could see it. He wanted to see his handiwork, wanted to know what her body looked like now.

  He imagined it looked something like a spineless puppet, a ventriloquist’s puppet perhaps. He imagined putting his hand inside her back and up into her head. He imagined putting his fingers around the inside of her jaw and making her talk. He laughed at the absurdity of such a thought and noticed the orange and yellow light of dawn seeping through the window she had previously tried to use for an escape.

  He decided he was bored, there was nothing more he could do to this one, so he dropped the spine and went upstairs. When he reached the top, light was spilling in through the kitchen windows and it illuminated the basement at the bottom of the stairs.

  He looked back to have a final glance at the lifeless eight year old named Tiffany. Even with the dawn light, he could still barely see her, and was somehow glad he couldn’t. He had turned her beautiful body into a travesty.

  But it had been such delicious fun. Smiling again, he closed the door, leaving the ghastly stench behind and the tiny corpse behind.

  Once he was fully in the lighted kitchen, he noticed that his feet and legs were covered in a mixture of blood and excretion.

  To effectively clean himself he went and took a long hot shower, scrubbing the mess off of his naked body. Halfway through the shower, still thinking of Tiffany, he grew aroused again and had to masturbate in the shower; the soap the perfect lubricant. His legs shook when he orgasmed, the image of Tiffany lying under him as he slammed himself into her, taking what no man should have ever had, not at her age anyway.

  After the shower was over, he got dressed in his nicest business suit. He’d decided to go out, get some coffee, and then go search for a new job.

  Perhaps he would stop by the school and search for something else pretty. Of course, before he left the house he considered something else. He considered getting in his car and just driving away from the town of Birmington.

  But by the time he reached the front door he decided against it. There were loose ends that needed tying up around here, and the main one was Walter.

  When the time came, he would take care of his brother, whether the man was a cop or not.

  But for now, Randy felt as if he had taught Walter a lesson. He assumed that Walter wouldn’t mess with him again for at least a little while.

  He stood on his front porch and considered taking the car. He could drive to Caruthers, but why waste the gas? Besides, he wanted to get some fresh air and exercise.

  He wanted to leave the night behind him and move on with his life. The white wooden door slammed shut behind Randy Barcer as he made his way down the rickety steps of his house. Walking out of his yard and down the sidewalk towards Caruthers, Randy never noticed the man following closely behind him, but not too close to be discovered.

  Randy had also never seen the white piece of paper that had been taped to his front door, so he never read what was written on the piece of paper in black words.

  Written in black sharpie ink were two words.

  RANDY AND WALTER: KILLERS

  BODY OF BIRMINGTON RESIDENT FOUND IN ALLEYWAY!

  Randy Barcer, a resident of Birmington North Carolina, was found shot to death in the alleyway next to Caruthers Coffee. His body was discovered by Amber Dillenger, an employee of Caruthers who had gone outside for a break.

  The investigator assigned to the case stated Barcer was shot several times in the chest and head. Police are calling this an execution style killing. They are currently holding resident Thomas Brown for questioning. Thomas Brown was reported being seen around the alleyway at the time of the shooting. Several gunshots were also reported but the incident wasn’t investigated by police, who believed them to be quote “Mere fireworks”. Apparently the alleyway was a known hangout for teens that were known to shoot off fireworks such as m-80s. At the time of the printing, no more information has been given out by police.

  At this time the investigation is on going.

  HORRIFYIN
G DISCOVERY AT MURDER VICTIM RANDY BARCER’S HOME!

  Police today entered the home of Randy Barcer who was found dead recently behind Caruthers Coffee shop to discover a gruesome scene. After receiving a tip that Randy Barcer was a killer and a rapist, the police investigated the home. It was reported that Randy Barcer had brutally murdered his only daughter and her body could be found in the basement of Randy Barcer’s home. Upon entering the home, the first thing the police reported was a feeling of nausea due to the odor of rotting meat. They followed the odor to the basement where they found the bodies of two girls. After the police notified the families of the two girls, we have found out their identities are none other than the two missing girls.

  Tiffany Brown and Victory Sweets. Eight and nine years of age. According to the coroner’s report, both had been raped and viciously murdered. Upon discovery of this gruesome scene the police also discovered a homemade crematorium. Upon further searching of the house, they found the remains of several other bodies buried within the concrete floor of the basement, two of them being those of his wife and daughter who had disappeared years ago. The crematorium itself was filled with the bones of young children. As of yet the children remain unidentified. Walter Brenemen, the lead investigator on the scene had this to say, “The discovery of such a horrible crime has left a dark stain on this town. I only regret that Randy Barcer is not alive so that justice could be done to this horrible man.”

  Detective Walter Brenemen, following his instincts, checked the nearby homes and discovered the neighbors were also missing. Trained dogs were brought in soon after and after the dogs detected something in the backyard of the Barcer home, the police began excavating Randy Barcer’s backyard and discovered the bodies of his neighbors, twenty in all.

  Preliminary reports state all the bodies appear to have been stabbed to death before being buried. The state of decay of the bodies has led investigators to believe that they were all killed several years ago. This is puzzling for police as none of the neighbors had been reported missing in all those years.

  TOWN OF BURMAN BURNS TO THE GROUND!

  This weekend the small town of Burman North Carolina inexplicably burned to the ground. The entire town! The population of the town was a total of seventy two. Police and firefighters on the scene report that the fire was started at the edge of town at Burman West Baptist Church. Although it was made of stone, almost all of the church also burned to the ground. The home of local Baptist Preacher, Weston Hill, and his wife, Heidi Hill, located to the left of the church, had also burned down with both occupants inside. Police and fire officials are puzzled to what exactly caused the fire in the first place. Even more puzzling is the fact that the fire had spread to every house and building in the town, though the church was exactly two miles away from the town proper. The Fire Marshal’s report states that the trees near the church had caught fire and with a prevailing high wind, this was how the fire spread to the rest of the town. It has been racked up to a freak accident where all conditions were just right. The death toll has been large, multiple families having died in the fire. As of yet no survivors have been found.

  The investigation is still on going despite the Fire Marshal’s final report.

  NEW EVIDENCE LINKS RANDY BARCER TO THE TOWN OF BURMAN FIRE

  Police found new evidence linking Randy Barcer to the burning of Burman NC. After finding twenty three corpses and several burnt bodies of children, Detective Walter Brenemen found several quarts of gas and multiple empty containers in the trunk of Randy Barcer’s car. Alongside the gas can were blueprints to the town of Burman. Detective Brenemen had this to say, “This sheds new light on the burning of Burman. With this new evidence, Randy was more than a mere rapist. He was a serial killer. This is the single most terrible thing that has ever happened to this town.” Detective Brenemen also discovered that the wife of preacher Weston Hill, Heidi Hill, was Randy Barcer’s mother. The remains of her body were found hidden deep in the woods of Burman. Detective Brenemen reported that through painstaking investigation, he has found out that it was a cowardly act on the part of Randy Barcer, who brutally murdered his mother and her husband and then proceeded to burn down the entire town of Burman. Detective Brenemen was the first officer on the scene of Burman. He says that he always felt that the burning of Burman was more than an accident.

  Detective Brenemen is being awarded the Medal of Honor from the state of North Carolina.

  “We are proud to have such an outstanding achiever in our police force,” says Chief of Police Donald Harrison

  HOME OF LAWYER DANIEL J. GORDON BURNS TO THE GROUND!

  “This is a terrible accident, he will be terribly missed by this community.” Detective Brenemen stated for the record.

  MORE EVIDENCE LINKS RANDY BARCER TO MURDER!

  Police have found evidence linking now infamous killer Randy Barcer to the deaths of Daniel J. Gordon and his family. The evidence was found hidden in Randy Barcer’s closet bedroom. A cell phone of an unknown woman held evidence of Daniel J. Gordon’s death. Apparently he had taken photos of the bodies of Daniel Gordon and family. Pictures of himself setting the house on fire were also seized. Once again police find themselves puzzled by this.

  TOWN OF BIRMINGTON NOW BEING CALLED THE TOWN OF SATAN!

  Religious groups have been arriving in the town of Birmington claiming that Randy Barcer was the anti-Christ. They say the entire town has been marked for destruction by the dark forces of Satan and his armies. The group ordered the home of Randy Barcer and all surrounding homes to be burned to the ground. When threatened to be arrested, the group began to riot. They attacked several police officers and fought their way to the Barcer’s house. Then the group who are now calling themselves “The Sons of God” proceeded to burn the home to the ground. The fire spread to nearby homes which burned to the ground before firefighters could get the blaze under control. The entire town is now in an uproar as more and more religious groups arrive everyday to “cleanse” the town. The leader of The Sons of God was shot and killed by Detective Walter Brenemen late last night. “I had no choice. The man tried to attack me with a knife,” Brenemen stated.

  Police chief Donald Harrison backs up his story, “Detective Brenemen is an honorable man and had every right to protect himself. This group has been causing panic in the entire town. They must all be arrested and sent packing before more lives are lost.”

  The group responded by attempting to sue the town of Birmington, stating that quote, “We are in our full religious rights to act as protectors of this world. We believe that Walter Brenemen is just as dangerous as Randy Barcer. He is the man who should be stopped.”

  Detective Brenemen, who is now being hounded by the media and the religious groups alike, responded simply, “I’m a man of the law. I only serve and protect. I do my duty to my deepest commitment. To be called such things is a travesty.”

  Either way, the Birmington police find themselves in a bind. They are being hounded to fire Detective Brenemen for unlawful behavior or the groups promise to continue their attacks on the town. At this time Detective Brenemen is still on active duty though a full investigation has been launched into the shooting.

  WALTER BRENEMEN FIRED FOR UNRULY CONDUCT!

  After careful deliberation, the state of North Carolina took Walter Brenemen's Medal of Honor away and after a full investigation into the shooting of the leader of The Sons of God, he was discharged from the police force for unruly conduct and the
use of excessive force after Brenemen was found beating one of the leaders of the Sons of God after pulling him over for a traffic stop.

  Incontrovertible evidence has recently surfaced stating that Detective Brenemen was directly involved with many of the deaths that Randy Barcer was accused of.

  This paper has also discovered that the shooting of Daxter Dennem, the leader of The Sons of God, was actually a murder. It is being said that Daxter was shot by Brenemen for spreading malicious lies about him. Not only this, but Brenemen also attacked and killed police Chief Donald Harrison. The Chief was beaten to death in front of the eyes of the entire police squad.

  Charges were quickly brought against Brenemen and he is now in the county jail awaiting sentencing. His court date is set for December 2nd.

  Lieutenant David Roberts had this to say.

  “Detective Brenemen actions in no way reflect on the rest of the department. Detective Brenemen appears to have had a psychotic breakdown, perhaps due to the carnage he recently witnessed thanks to being the lead investigator on the Barcer case. Though his crimes are heinous, he served this town well before his breakdown and it’s a terrible tragedy for all involved. Nobody wins here, especially the good folk of Birmington.”
