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.»

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.
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8pxfDASTg
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?"
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt0JbqX7XD
"Hardly. How was juvie?"
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T9ebKPadS
He gritted his teeth but replied. "Alright."
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6cGgbXKnb
Silence.
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfEheMl9VO
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."
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQV62QeqxU
"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."
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jnpxtTEVx
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."

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—"

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.
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxoYskk9bq
"Luke... This delicate old you is the one that should be back... Please—"
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2SX3dDu5l
"NO!" He jumps up enraged and attacks me. I stumble backwards and shriek as he kicks my hip HARD.
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo83V70X4Q
That is, of course, until he... ‘ceases to exist’...
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT3bWdYy0f
I can't believe I killed 3 men today.
