The revenge inside of Zack

He was looking through the security cameras working as security manager at the Halliday Casino. There he was, the man he thought he never would see again. Zack was furious inside every time he remembered the name, Matt Kupka. Everyday he thinks of ways to plot his revenge, driving himself crazy. Ever since that day, where his mother got murdered, he didn't just think about revenge, he symbolized revenge.

Seven years ago, Zack’s mother, Betty was working late one night at the club when she met this man. Matt Kuaka was his name, and he started to have a conversation with Betty. “The first time I saw you, I flipped, and that’s no bull. I have so much damn money I can’t spend it all and I’ve never found a woman to enjoy spending it on until I laid my eyes on you.” (70) Betty knew that it was a bunch of lies but deep in her she thought there might be a chance that he could be the one for her. He had money and he was lonely. So, he took Betty up to a room and ripped her blouse off. After they were done, she tried to take seventeen dollars, which was the cost of her blouse but Matt woke up and punched Betty yelling, “Thieving Bitch!” Betty was knocked off her feet and slammed into the wall, then Matt punched her again, in on the right side of her head, breaking her jaw. When Zack got to the hospital, Betty was already dead. In court, Matt was released with no charge because of insufficient evidence and he accused Betty of stealing from him. Exploding with anger and yet not being able to believe what happened, revenge built up in his body clouding up his mind.
It had been seven years since his mothers murder, Kupka walked away worry free and Zack getting put in juvie for badmouthing the judge after the case. Matt Kupka was right in Zack’s hands, he couldn't just let him walk away worry free again, now Zack has everything but a plan. As revenge started to take over Zack, he remembered a few things he confiscated from some people over the years working. A snub nosed .38 that belonged to the previous manager, and a bottle of knockout from a women who tried to scam men. When he got to the casino floor, he went near the bathroom to meet up with Sally, a prostitute that works at the Halliday Casino. He told her to get him into a limousine and to let him drink the whiskey but for her to not drink any. Zack dumped the entire bottle of knockout pills into the bottle of whiskey and put it in the limo and got behind the wheels.

Sally led the drunk Matt Kupka to the limo in the back of the casino and got him in. Zack drove them out into the desert next to a cliff and under it was a dam and dragged him out of the limo while he was asleep, knocked out from the whiskey, he could taste the sweet revenge of making him suffer. Matt Kupka couldn't be just killed, especially when he was asleep but make he needed to suffer like he never felt before. However, when he woke up, Zack’s punches didn't do much of anything to him, it just bounced off his face. Matt had his hands around Zack’s neck when someone hit him and the pressure around his neck was released. Zack and Matt struggled for the gun but it went off, hitting Sally, and knocking her off the cliff. Matt had his hands around Zack’s neck again screaming “I’m going to kill you like I did your mother, you stupid shit.” (156) until he felt something by his knee.

He picked it up and it was the gun, he shot Matt in his crotch and told him “That was for Betty. This is for Sally.” As Matt fell to his knees holding onto his bloody crotch. Zack shot him in the stomach and he screamed in pain. Zack killed him by putting a bullet in between his eyes. Matt’s body was dumped in the dam and Zack climbed back into the limo. He thought about what had happened and about Sally. Sally had saved his life and she got nothing from it. Most people would’ve ran away and fled when they saw someone like Matt. What had he gotten? He himself symbolized revenge all this time, but now he wasn’t sure if that was the right thing to do. He wanted the revenge so badly and wanted to make him suffer that Sally got killed in the process. Sure the revenge inside of him was finally put to sleep, but at what cost? He was so blinded with revenge and anger from what Matt had done to his mother that he destroyed other people’s lives. Zack quietly drove back to the casino with tears running down his eyes.
