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.
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwPpClyjBQ
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?"
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0nX5ve7CT
"Hardly. How was juvie?"
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiawmucuIA
He gritted his teeth but replied. "Alright."
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vZXNuVNkO
Silence.
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX1gqKVFJz
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."
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHoYrZ2qXn
"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."

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."
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H8ANc1ouH
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.
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcTEiHSJt1
"Luke... This delicate old you is the one that should be back... Please—"
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuzL9Nx9XN
"NO!" He jumps up enraged and attacks me. I stumble backwards and shriek as he kicks my hip HARD.
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sr7U3fij3
That is, of course, until he... ‘ceases to exist’...
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9bXQTcVw0
I can't believe I killed 3 men today.
