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.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOHTe8ZAZS
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?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEJDSskvub
"Hardly. How was juvie?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR4Bc5PBT0
He gritted his teeth but replied. "Alright."
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxep3vhPMK
Silence.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikETI0y996
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."
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQmHGhnRBu
"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."
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4dTPV0xh5
Hm. What a guy. "And what is to happen, should I choose to end this?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWti2vi0yO
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."
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmia6sw8rf1
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—"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z6ju8tIGc
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.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVPtUZAuSa
"Luke... This delicate old you is the one that should be back... Please—"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e6OVA80a4
"NO!" He jumps up enraged and attacks me. I stumble backwards and shriek as he kicks my hip HARD.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqglGXewLY
That is, of course, until he... ‘ceases to exist’...
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXe3RhWDsr
I can't believe I killed 3 men today.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSSZUo3kdL
Buzz.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlwBNttxeT
«Thanks for doing my light work, sweetie.»

If Luke wasn't the one sending those texts...
