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.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAASIdfRhHRm
«Looking for me? Come to the lounge. We have much to discuss.»
633Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZE9CE3DYZ
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.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAOcP8XczUt5
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?"
633Please respect copyright.PENANArVFtno6gO1
"Hardly. How was juvie?"
633Please respect copyright.PENANA9EdQ37fBXz
He gritted his teeth but replied. "Alright."
633Please respect copyright.PENANA4SKJAIVu4e
Silence.
633Please respect copyright.PENANANpa9lv1I8M
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."
633Please respect copyright.PENANAXtbw9eEgru
"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."
633Please respect copyright.PENANArbabOpv0m5
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."
633Please respect copyright.PENANAkx0FiT7tAF
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—"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAK4kX0GChED
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.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAcmcj6AxjUH
"Luke... This delicate old you is the one that should be back... Please—"
633Please respect copyright.PENANA2cK00p2kNk
"NO!" He jumps up enraged and attacks me. I stumble backwards and shriek as he kicks my hip HARD.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAxM4JM8lVeh
That is, of course, until he... ‘ceases to exist’...
633Please respect copyright.PENANAUlKeIiIbis
I can't believe I killed 3 men today.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAQjMQTpTNPa
Buzz.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAVT5XMakJHw
«Thanks for doing my light work, sweetie.»
633Please respect copyright.PENANA2J48yLGzzk
