"Goddamn it Vic get closer I can't reach." Marcus shouted.
No one was around having packed up for the day and no one was coming to the
rescue. Victor panned the surroundings and saw that they were utterly alone. His
father's driver would be there to pick them up shortly to take them back to
their large warm house.
"A few more inches you pansy ass twerp." Marcus said struggling to reach him.
Victor looked him in the eyes and withdrew his hand. He watched as his brother's
face faltered with the realization that Victor was not going to help him. For
once his older brother was at a loss for words. He struggled frantically to get
himself out but the water was too cold and his body was shutting down. Soon his
head was sinking beneath the ice and Victor was surrounded by silence. He could
hardly believe what had happened. It was like some dream. The brother that had
tormented him every day of his life was gone. The company and more importantly
his fathers attention would be his. He would take over the family fortune and
make his own empire. The night fell about him and the darkness grew to claim the
remnants of the day while Victor lay staring at the hole in the ice his brother
and all his troubles had passed through.
