The Story

[eithne]

This is similar to the Three Word Story, but more for people who are interested in writing than having a laugh. Basically we continue the story for as long as we can - until, maybe, it reaches a natural conclusion. Basically anyone who wants to play adds the next part of the story. It is all fictional, and a laugh for anyone who sees themself as the next big writer.

pPart One

A blustery wind powered through the car park where April Montgomery impatiently waited. April, sitting in her 2006 model, silver Porsche, gently tapped her fingers off the steering wheel. April quickly glanced down at the display to check the time. Over the past quarter of an hour she had glanced at that display at least twenty times.

10.15pm

They're late, April thought - continuing to tap her fingers on the wheel. 'For weeks the plans for tonight have been laid, and now they look to be ruined.'

April ran a finger through her silky, bleached blonde hair. She was an extremely attractive girl. She never missed an opportunity to use her striking good looks to her advantage - especially with men. And it was one man in particular who April had been charming recently - Alex Wood.

April liked to think of herself and Alex as a modern day Romeo and Juliet - warring families, passionate encounters and divided lovers were definitely part of their relationship. April's father, James Montgomery, and Alex's father, Michael Wood had been enemies for a long, long time. Neither April or Alex knew why, but they did know that the division between the two millionaire businessmen ran deep.

Despite this, April and Alex had fallen in love - and had decided to spend the rest of their lives together. However, both knew that there was no way their respective fathers would allow them to continue seeing each other - and so April had hatched a plan...

April was jolted back to the present by two bright, shining headlights turning into the car park entrance. A brand new, black VW Passat drove up beside April. Both drivers let down their windows, as April reached over to the passenger seat to pick up a small, velvet bag.

"You've got it then." A female voice in the black car enquired.

"Yes. Alex had no trouble getting it." April answered. Knowing the contents of the velvet bag sent a shiver down her spine. As she reached out to pass it over to the assasain, she briefly hesitated.

This was her father. He had done so much for her. Could she really do this to him?

But any doubts April had were soon erased as memories of lonely childhood birthday parties soon came back to her. Then there was her mother's funeral, where her father had left after the burial to go and get "comfort" from his mistress. The last straw for April had been the will which had left control of Montgomery PLC to her half-brother.

April passed the gun, and looked Anna Simone in the eye. This was the woman who was going to kill James Montgomery and frame Michael Wood for the murder - thus giving Alex control of his father's company and leaving April with a healthy trust fund.

"Are you sure you want me to go ahead with this?" Anna asked.

"Yes. Daddy needs to be taught a lesson for everything he has done to me."

Without saying another word, April turned on her ignition and drove away from Anna's car.

Anna let her window back up, before examining the small, velvet bag a little closer. She opened it, and closely examined the contents - a loaded gun owned by Michael Wood. It was key to framing Alex's father in the murder, because this gun was truly one of a kind - a crude display of Michael's wealth.

Ironic, Anna thought, that this gun would be his downfall. She reached out and hit a button on her mobile phone handsfree kit. Almost immediately a man's voice came on the line.

"Ready?" He asked.

Anna laughed. "Of course."
