Daphne lives alone. Her mother and brother are laying dead in the hallway. Blood is dry. Flies are all over their bodies. Daphne knows where is the man who did it all. Daphne is angry.
They looked at her when she crossed the streets. People thought she did it. People thought she is a very bad child. Only few people known the truth. She loved her dad. Perhaps too much. Even before she knew it was her dad. But now she needs to save him. This monster keeps him alive to pay.
Daphne teamed up with few more kids in her school. All like her 9 year olds. All angry. All willing to die, but to kill the killer of her mom and a little baby brother. All willing to kill Daphne's grandfather.
The car was stolen. The car was driven to the place where granny lives. Guns were stolen. Kids were armed.
Daphne, her best friend Michele and 2 boys Zack and Max from their school are now the bad kids. Are now about the kill.
They move closer and closer to the gate. The gate is locked. So they need to climb over it. Zack comes from over the wall to the gate and looks up at the building. There is a silhouette of a man in a window. Michele looks at him from behind.
- Don't shoot. It might be Fred. - says Michele. - it might be Daphne's dad.
Zack puts his hand on the gate for the attempt to climb it. As soon as he does a red light appears visible from the window. The man's silhouette turn to the gate. He raises his arm. A flash of fire. A loud bum. He just shot at the gate. Zack is hurt. The side of his stomach was penetrated.
- Let's get out of here - cries Michele.
- You can leave. I'm going in. - says Daphne.
The man in the window is gone. And they just barely hear sounds of steps. Daphne with Max climb the gate. Michele stays with Zack.
Daphne and Max stop at the front door. They hide by the sides. So they would not be seen through the eye peace. The door shoots open.
There is Granny. Just so happened to be Max sees him and Daphne is blocked by the door that just opened. Max raises the gun. He shoots. The bullet penetrates the door and hits Daphne in the shoulder. Granny turns at Max and shoots him in the chest. Max. A little 9 year old boy. Just fell. He is bleeding and crying. Granny rises the gun again. Points to Maxes head. About to make sure that Max is dead.
Adrenalin rush is quite a unique thing. Everything is suddenly slow. It's the spider sense. It's the quick-sliver slow-mo scene. It's the Matrix bullet-time.
Daphne comes out from the other side of the door. And using her other hand...
- For dad, for mom, for Tommy, Zack and Max. Die motherfucker!
... using her other hand. Shoots her own grandfather to death.
How did granny knew? Why would he go so far to get his revenge? Fred and Daphne loved each other before she knew it was her father. Similar to how Humbert loved Dolores Hays. Similar to how Leon loved Matilda. Similar to how Zack loves Michele. And no old man should be able to prevent it. That what Daphne thought when she looked from the window of an asylum for young murderers. When just in the next building was a facility for sexual predators. Where from the window she could barely make out the shapes of her father, her beloved, Fred.
THE END
Pretty mean but good. Had a hard time to catch up on who was who
