Death of Innocence

“I’m sorry for your loss. I will do anything you need,” he told them.

“Thank you. Our parents wanted to be cremated, we were to spread their ashes over the site where they first met,” James replied.

“Ah, ok, we can begin that immediately. Will you be needing an urn, or are you furnishing your own?” the man asked them.

“We will need two urns, they were individual people, we want to let them keep that,” Jackie spoke up. The mortician nodded to his assistant, sending him on his way to complete the twins’ request.

“We can have this completed tomorrow, will that be okay?” he asked the pair.

“We are going to have to leave them here for a few days. The people that killed our parents may also be after Jackie. She saw their faces and we don’t think they will want to leave any witnesses,” James told him. Upon hearing these words, the funeral director blanched, and then quickly recovered his composure. James knew he had struck a nerve when he saw the man’s response, but he knew if he were to continue to act nonchalantly there was a chance for him to learn more.

“We spent the night at an old farmhouse last night, we didn’t want those guys to find us. We are going to stay at the Holiday Inn tonight. We don’t think they would be foolish enough to try anything there,” James told the man. Upon seeing a gleam come to the man’s eyes, he knew his plan should work.

“Very wise, young man. I’m sure you will be very safe there,” he told them. After filling out the necessary papers, James presented his credit card to pay for the arrangements, and then upon getting it back, he and Jackie left.

“Why did you lie to him, and why did you tell him we are going to stay at the Holiday Inn?” she asked as they got into the car.

“He’s one of them. When I told him you had seen their faces, didn’t you see his reaction?” he asked.

“Oh, well if he’s one of them, why did you tell him where you are planning to stay tonight?” she asked him.

“I’ve gotten tired of hiding and I figured you had too. We’re going to set a trap and see what the hell is going on,” he explained. James wanted to catch at least one of the men, but knew this was going to be tricky. The next part of his plan was to make sure he and Jackie were well protected. Stopping at a sporting goods store, the pair picked up a few supplies, and then headed to a diner to get something to eat. When they had placed their orders, James outlined the plan to Jackie. Both of them had hunted before, but this would be the first time they had ever hunted for a human.

“We will have to be quiet if we want to do this. I want to take one of them alive. Maybe they can tell us who sent them,” he told her as they finished eating. James went over the plan in his head, wanting to make sure he hadn’t over looked anything. When he was satisfied he had covered every contingency, he looked into his sister’s eyes, giving her one last chance to back out of the actions they would be taking. Jackie knew tonight was going to be dangerous, but she agreed they needed to find their parents’ killers.

“What are we going to do till tonight?” she asked.

“We’re going to get a few more supplies and get some rest,” he told her. Tonight was going to be a long night, and James knew they were going to need to be as alert as possible. After the night before, he knew they would be tired if they didn’t get some sleep. Wanting to stay in public places, James drove to the nearest mall. James drove around the parking lot, looking for anyone who might be watching them. Seeing nothing suspicious, James parked the gleaming red Mustang. Hand in hand, James and Jackie walked into the mall, hoping to find the last few items they needed. When they had completed their shopping, James and Jackie headed to their car. When they got close to their parking spot, they saw a couple of men hanging around the car. Walking quietly, they snuck in behind the men.

“Is there something we can do for you?” James asked. The two men whirled around, but the twins had the advantage. James and Jackie each chose a man, and then using their abilities, they delved into the men’s minds. Since they now had them subdued, the twins looked through the thugs’ memories. Seeing nothing linking these two to the murders, they decided to see if they could find out anything about the people that paid them. Frustration set in, but James knew they would have a better chance tonight.

“Get in the car sis, I’m going to have a little fun with these guys, then we’re going to find a place to rest,” he told her. Making sure she was in the car, James quickly undressed the men, leaving them naked in the hot sun. Climbing back into the car, James removed the men’s memories of ever seeing them, and then removed the commands to paralyze them. As they were backing out of the parking spot, Jackie saw what her brother had done and laughed for the first time since the murders. As the twins drove away, they kept glancing back to watch the men trying to get away from there. James drove back to the parking garage where they had picked up the Mustang, hoping to find another car. Returning the car to its original slot, James looked around for another. Spotting a Camaro, he took the keys back to the attendant, and then got the keys to the gleaming, black car. Driving back to their own car, James grabbed the sleeping bags and other gear from the trunk, wanting to be prepared for anything.

“Have you got everything?” Jackie asked. James grabbed the last of the gear out of the trunk and climbed back into the black sports car. When they drove back into the sunlight, James headed out of town again. Finding an old barn, they drove into it and parked. Wanting to catch a little sleep, they grabbed their sleeping bags and headed for the loft. After spreading them out, the twins lay down on top of them, hoping to get some rest before the night ahead of them. Jackie snuggled closely to James, and then finally drifted off to sleep. A few hours later when he awoke, James looked around, trying to remember where he was. When he finally got himself reoriented, he woke Jackie, and then helped her to her feet. Grabbing their sleeping bags, they climbed down the ladder and loaded their stuff back in the trunk. Driving back to town, James stopped at a store on the way into town to make a phone call to the Holiday Inn. Knowing the killers would be checking to see if they really were staying there, he made a reservation for Jackie and himself. When he got off the phone, he went back to check on his sister. He knew she was nervous, but he wanted to make sure she understood exactly what they were going to do.

“Well, I have the reservations made, all we need to do is check in, then wait,” he told her. With a tired smile, Jackie nodded. James climbed back into the car, and then headed into town. As soon as the twins reached the hotel, they went in to register and take some of their gear to their room. They told the desk clerk they would be back later and went back to their car. When they were back in the car, James turned to Jackie.

“Okay, this is it. If you want to back out, now is the time for it. Once we start this, we’re going to have to carry it out till the end. We want them to think we are gone. I thought we might change our clothes somewhere else and come back,” he told her.

“Yeah, I know. I never thought we would ever use our abilities like this, but after what they did to Mom and Dad, I want to do it,” she answered. Upon hearing these words, James drove to a service station, wanting to use the bathroom to change into the dark clothing they had bought at the mall. When they got back to the car, James took out the dark makeup, wanting to match the clothing they now wore. When they were finished, James drove back to the hotel, wanting to get before their expected visitors could show up. James parked behind the building, wanting to hide their car from everyone.

“Okay, it’s showtime,” he told her as they got out of the car. On Jackie’s nod, they both got out of the car and began heading for the entrance. Before they got there, they pooled their powers to allow them to keep anyone from seeing them. The shield they created around themselves didn’t render them invisible; it just bent the light around them where others couldn’t see them. Walking by the front desk, they went to their first floor room. When they entered it, they turned off all the lights, wanting to give themselves an even better chance. James knew they didn’t dare turn on the television or even make a sound until theirguests arrived. To stay awake, the twins played the mental games they learned as children. These silent games always kept them amused for hours on end, and allowed them to hone their psionic skills. For thirty minutes they played, until the sound of someone at their door alerted them to somebody’s presence. Silently, James warned his sister to be quiet as he stood behind the door. When the door suddenly swung open, three men burst into the room. With a smirk, James quickly froze the first man in with a silent command. Jackie took the second one, leaving the last one for her brother. James stopped him dead in his tracks as well. With the three intruders now held motionless, James sifted through the first man’s memories, wanting to see what he knew. The images in the man’s brain chilled James’ blood. He had been one of two men sent to find the teens.

“Jackie, this is the guy that killed Dad,” he told her. Upon hearing this, Jackie collapsed, the pain evident in her quiet sobbing. James considered killing the man, but knew if the man were dead he wouldn’t be able to get any more information from him. Looking deeper into the man’s memories, James finally found the information he was looking for. It was some researchers from a laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico looking for them. The implications were plain now. The government was responsible for their parents’ deaths. James was livid; he knew he couldn’t let these creeps live. They had killed their parents; there was no way he was going to let them walk out of this room. Using his abilities, he sent a psionic hand into the man’s chest, and then used it to squeeze the man’s heart, crushing it like an overripe tomato within its grasp. Using the same technique on the dead man’s comrades, he quickly dispensed with them. James knew they were only the tools for the murders, but he didn’t want them around to make any more tries on their lives. Knowing they didn’t have to worry about the men again, James went over to his sister, gently helping the still-sobbing girl to her feet.

“We’ve got to get out of here, Sis. They may have brought someone with them,” he told her as he pulled her along behind him. Pulling herself together, the girl hurried to their stashed car. When they reached the car, Jackie did a quick mental probe on it. Finding nothing, they went back to the garage to get yet another car. Knowing they wanted to be inconspicuous, James chose a late model geo, wanting the gas mileage the car would provide. Once again, James used his gentlepersuasion technique to get the attendant to trade keys with him. James pulled the smaller car up to the Camaro, transferring all their gear to the little car. Once this was completed, James left the garage one last time. James pointed the car for New Mexico and one of the labs in Los Alamos.

Part 2

When the sun came up, it found the twins heading west on Interstate 40, about to enter Texas. It would be a few hours before they entered New Mexico, and even longer before they reached Albuquerque. From there they would get on Interstate 25 until they reached Santa Fe. After they reached Santa Fe, they could head north until they finally reached Los Alamos. They knew they would have to be very careful, if the scientists at that laboratory in Los Alamos, had sent those men to the hotel, they would surely send even more after them. James wanted to get there as soon as possible, but he knew he didn’t want to give a Highway Patrolman a reason to stop them. Technically they had borrowed the car they were in, but they didn’t think the police would see it that way. Stopping in Shamrock, Texas, James grabbed a few groceries for them to eat on the road. When he got back into the car, he looked over to his sister. She had been the one that had discovered their parents’ dead bodies, and had watched her sibling kill three men, all in the space of a couple of days. She looked haggard, but the color was finally coming back to her cheeks.

“Here sis, I got us something to eat,” he told her, as he handed a sandwich to her. Reaching back into the bag, he brought out a Dr. Pepper, to help her get the morning breath taste out of her mouth. After taking a deep swallow, she smiled at her brother. Though small it was still a smile. James felt better when he saw his sister slowly getting back to normal. Getting back onto I-40, he headed west again, hoping to stop in Amarillo to get a little rest. He was getting a little sleepy, but he knew his sister was in no condition to drive. As he continued down the road, the scenery remained the same, the flat surroundings brown from the lack of moisture. James knew it hadn’t rained in weeks, and from the looks of the cloudless sky, it didn’t appear that would change anytime soon.

“Where are we?” Jackie asked, taking in her surroundings.

“That was Shamrock,” he told her, glad to see his sister taking an interest again. When he had killed the men in the hotel, he was afraid Jackie was going into shock. She wouldn’t talk, but he hadn’t dared take her to a doctor. If he had, the people that had hired the killers might have won after all. They had to stay on their toes; any slip might be their last. Finally reaching Amarillo, James drove around until he found a hotel. Circling around the block a few times to make sure nobody was following them, he finally pulled into the parking lot. Checking in, James paid the clerk with cash. Then not wanting to give anyone the chance to find them by tracing their credit card, Jamesconvinced the man he didn’t need any other identification. James was glad he had withdrawn the cash from the bank before they left town. He figured cash was untraceable and he didn’t want the people he was chasing to know he was coming until it was too late.

“Okay, we need to get some rest. I don’t think they’ve had a chance to track us yet, so I think we can relax,” James told her as he undressed for bed. Jackie watched him removing his clothes and felt the heat of her arousal spiral from her stomach to her moistening cunt. When he reached his briefs, Jackie waited for him to remove them, almost drooling with her desire to see his throbbing cock. When he began to pull the covers back, he still hadn’t removed this last garment. Jackie decided to take matters in her own hands as she stepped up behind them and swiftly pulled the offending garment down to his feet. James stepped out of them and with a questioning look, turned to her.

“Are you sure sis?” he asked her, the hope welling up inside him.

“I’ve never been more sure of anything. When I feel you in me I feel like I’m alive, ya know?” she asked, hoping he felt the same way.

“Yeah, I know what you mean, it’s like this is something they weren’t able to take away,” he told her, bending to kiss her sweet lips. Jackie’s knees went weak with the touch of her sibling’s lips on hers, the passion and tenderness evident in his kiss. She could feel his hands removing her clothing, his touch making her quiver. When he had completed undressing her, he led her into the shower. They had wiped off most of the makeup after they left the hotel earlier, but there were still traces of it on their faces. After turning on the water, James took his sister’s hand and helped her climb in, hoping the spray of the water would make them both feel better.

“I thought a shower would give us a chance to relax, and I do plan to help you relax,” he told her with a wicked smile on his face. Jackie smiled back, the burden of the last few days seeming to fall away from her.

“Let me wash you first,” he told her, grabbing the washcloth and soap. Lathering the washcloth, he began washing her shoulders, then worked his way down. The rough material soothed her aching muscles, but left her longing for the touch of her brother’s hands. James drew the soapy cloth in circular patterns across her back, dropping lower with each pass. Jackie could feel the heat rising in her loins, the need overtaking her as James continued his ministrations on her. When James reached his sister’s proud ass, he dropped the washcloth, wanting to feel her firm cheeks in his hands.

“You dropped something,” Jackie said with a laugh.

“The better to touch you with,” James replied with a leer. James took the soap and after lathering his hands began washing her legs, enjoying the texture of her skin. The feelings James was stirring in her made Jackie want to bend over and beg him to take her like that, but James had other ideas. Gently grasping her shoulder, he turned his sister to face him. Bending over, he placed a gentle kiss on her lips before he began washing her again. Starting at her shoulders, he slowly worked his way down, washing her chest then finally pausing at her breasts. He took extra time on each breast, making sure to scrub each nipple thoroughly. By the time he had reached her stomach, Jackie’s eyes had glazed over with passion. James decided to continue taking his time, making the heat last for both of them. James began making circles on her stomach; each time just missing her neatly trimmed pussy. Finally when it seemed he was going to begin washing her cunt, he started working on her legs, missing her wet slit by inches.

“That’s no fair,” she wailed, as yet again, he just missed touching her moist cunt.

“I’m saving that for last,” he laughed, continuing his trek downward to her feet. When he finally finished, James took the soap in his hands, and then, after lathering them, began washing her sopping cunt, careful not to get the soap inside of her. Slowly he rubbed back and forth, stimulating her clit on each swipe of his hands. When Jackie’s knees began to weaken, James pulled her into his arms and lifted her to him. Jackie wrapped her legs around him, and then before he could stop her, she reached down to grasp his cock and guided it into her wet entrance. When she had the tip of it inside her, Jackie slid down her brother’s body to fully impale herself on his iron-hard shaft. Jackie began sliding up and down her brother’s body, trying to pull him even deeper with each stroke. James maneuvered the two of them so that Jackie’s back was against the wall, then began delivering piston-like strokes in and out of her hot cunt, his need for her growing with each thrust. Jackie could feel her orgasm about to overtake her, the heat intensifying as she built toward her climax.

“Cum in me, I’m so close, if you can cum in me now you will send me over,” she moaned. James began pounding in and out of her juicy cunt, wanting to give his sister the release she needed. Feeling his own orgasm approaching, James buried his shaft all the way inside his groaning sister, shooting his seed deep inside her. When she felt his sperm splattering the walls of her twat, it triggered Jackie’s own orgasm. Jackie began shuddering as her ecstasy overtook her. James held onto his spasming sister until, at last when she was spent, he slowly let her slide down his body. Jackie’s legs wouldn’t hold her up for a second, but when she could finally stand up, they noticed the water had gone cold. Washing quickly, they both jumped out of the shower, and then toweled each other off. When they were dry, James bent down, and then scooped his sister up into his arms. Carrying her to the bed, he gently laid her on the side closest to the wall, before joining her.
