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.
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF1UCkzlkC
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?"
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6K3qfTxTh
"Hardly. How was juvie?"
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrIumOoI9s
He gritted his teeth but replied. "Alright."
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUP4gCdBm6
Silence.
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2SBwuOeks
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."
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CC9Lpn8tb
"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."
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SBeSls4Q7
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.
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqLoqnsAOu
"Luke... This delicate old you is the one that should be back... Please—"
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTH9khLDJM
"NO!" He jumps up enraged and attacks me. I stumble backwards and shriek as he kicks my hip HARD.
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CWkxrGEcw
That is, of course, until he... ‘ceases to exist’...
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cmjVFI7D3
I can't believe I killed 3 men today.
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC3ArS5Mn8
Buzz.
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEHNry8wZ0
«Thanks for doing my light work, sweetie.»
