I am a killer. A cold killer. Yet I don't care.

Lawrence is wounded but he's in the hospital.

All I need to do is find Luke who I'm sure is still at school.

I walk in through the cafeteria and I turn on the lights. All of them. I don't need creepiness added to this equation. For the first time in a while, my phone buzzes.

«Looking for me? Come to the lounge. We have much to discuss.»
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DRt2dmCBG
So I go. I let him believe I'm being manipulated. But this is my plan. I dropped my gun after shooting Joey in the neck. Doesn't mean I didn't pick it up, which in fact I did.
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q1hrOUgRr
But Luke doesn't need to know that.

I enter the room that once protected me, and there we were, face to face. Finally every piece fit together perfectly.

"Hello, Jade. Miss me?"
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8h9vdMHAL
"Hardly. How was juvie?"
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dtefwHioS
He gritted his teeth but replied. "Alright."
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn8n2CuAq5
Silence.
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKrW6KvI0u
Then he speaks. "You failed, you know."

I grab my backpack and toss a tablet to him. Brand new. Lying to the officer at the hospital was the least of my problems. "The deal was this: bring me something worth over $50 and you win. Correct? So I passed."
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcEIAyWcXK
"Wrong," he says after examining the tablet. "You passed this part of the deal, but there were several more 'jobs' you were to do. Now. Unless you choose to continue, you fail."
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog9pb0tIFL
Hm. What a guy. "And what is to happen, should I choose to end this?"

For a split second, I saw the old Luke. The bubbly one. But he dissipated soon after. "You can kiss your life goodbye and so can Lawrence."
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGoAK5ovmA
I take a step closer to Luke. "Luke... You're in there somewhere... I know what you feel. I know you're going through the kill-the-whole-world moment. I understand. Derek killed your best friend May 29, 3 and a half years ago, did he not? And you wanted revenge. Right? How he got to be in the store as a fake guard, I don't know and I guess I never will—"
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTVgLNATfi
Luke's eyes are watery! And he interrupts with a cracking voice. "I convinced him to go. We were going to 'settle business'. But I was too afraid. That day... at the park... He didn't kill my best friend... He was the one who passed me the gun. The one who tied Rico down to a tree. Told me to do it. Said I'd be 'cool'. Made me do the work. I never forgave him..." He said looking away.
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8S1pwvWJ6
"Luke... This delicate old you is the one that should be back... Please—"
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6IsABEQB1
"NO!" He jumps up enraged and attacks me. I stumble backwards and shriek as he kicks my hip HARD.
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJmiqyDWpA
That is, of course, until he... ‘ceases to exist’...
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j1qMf6uPG
I can't believe I killed 3 men today.
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTmrrVTqqu
Buzz.
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDjihHgADz
«Thanks for doing my light work, sweetie.»
