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

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.
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWczsC8ze67
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?"
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk2akNhjnn
"Hardly. How was juvie?"
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvzrZJYnZp
He gritted his teeth but replied. "Alright."
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef6fVgdYzP
Silence.
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy76oCV5oF
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."
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q6ckUrEvg
"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."
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcLhro0R87
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."
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcobrRnEeMU
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.
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3opKtd3Zd
"Luke... This delicate old you is the one that should be back... Please—"
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS458DgmBiX
"NO!" He jumps up enraged and attacks me. I stumble backwards and shriek as he kicks my hip HARD.
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4RaOAizZO
That is, of course, until he... ‘ceases to exist’...
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKiO3BdJHk
I can't believe I killed 3 men today.
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0PS5SqfY7
Buzz.
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WXeTB0Uh0
«Thanks for doing my light work, sweetie.»
