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.»
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HnmzlS2cf
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.
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zeaB6jVfI
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?"
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7obscgIgH
"Hardly. How was juvie?"
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDiD0E0TEE
He gritted his teeth but replied. "Alright."
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqpBWAT2Re
Silence.
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe7uq3t1qT
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."
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCC5nVbqDW
"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."
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcSTVRrbwJ
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."
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUsYKFC92A
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—"
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepvSuAdz1W
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.
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPEeVhGxEk
"Luke... This delicate old you is the one that should be back... Please—"
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AwuIWQqbl
"NO!" He jumps up enraged and attacks me. I stumble backwards and shriek as he kicks my hip HARD.
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxxkbUMO6q
That is, of course, until he... ‘ceases to exist’...
828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5PJhoGzcK
I can't believe I killed 3 men today.
