Michael's POV

I don't have an ounce of nervousness in my body. I'm filled with adrenaline and anger. Jake takes some turns and drives down the street of where Henry lives.

He drives until I say, "This is it. "

He parks out front. He turns to us and says, "We only have one shot at this. You two stay together. I'll go around back. "

We nod. He hands me a knife and Jerry a crowbar. Jake crouches and heads around back. I head toward the door, Jerry is close behind. I make it to the door.

"He probably has cameras around. He already knows we're here. "

Jerry nods in agreement. I turn the doorknob. Surprisingly, its unlocked. He's expecting us. I open the door and walk inside. There's no one around that I can see. I go to the right, which is the kitchen.

No one. While I look around the kitchen, Jerry starts fiddling with stuff on the counter.

"What are you doing? ", I whispered.

"Usually, psychos have hidden rooms. And usually, they only open with a hidden object. You know, like a pulling a lever. Like a book, or turning a salt shaker. "

"I highly doubt Henry would have something... *swooh* ...so ridiculous. "

Jerry smiled. "I told you. "

"Wow...that's unbelievable. "

A hidden door opened on the other side of the kitchen. The door was so well camouflaged. I, cautiously, walked over and opened it. It was a small, surveillance room. I motioned Jerry over and walked inside. There was a camera outside near the front door.

I knew he knew. I could see Jake sneaking around the living room, but no sign of Henry. Is he even here?

Suddenly, Jerry grabs my arm tightly.

"What's wrong? "

"I know where I've seen Jessica. Oh my god... "

"What? Where? "

"The day I was arrested, I looked across the street and she was standing with Henry. We made eye contact for three whole seconds before she looked away
She's apart of this. "

"What? Are you sure? "

I couldn't believe what he was saying.

"Yes I'm sure! She didn't want us to come here tonight. She probably called Henry already! "

Intercom: Very good Jerry boy.

We look around. I see a intercom in the corner.

I point at it and say, "There. "

Michael! I have something to show you, before we have our little showdown. Take a look at the monitors.

I look at the monitors. Its playing the video Jessica showed me. But, it doesn't stop where she stopped it.

Video:

(VIDEO CONTINUES WITHOUT JESSICA'S KNOWLEDGE)

"Wait. I almost forgot... Here. "

Henry hands her a package.

"Its your money, sweet cheeks. This is almost over. "

Jessica sighs. "I just want to move on from this. "

He walks close to her. "Don't worry, Jess, this will be behind you soon. "

Video ends.

I can't believe this. She was behind this the entire time. How could she?

I grab my hair tightly. "What is wrong with this fucked up world?! "

Jerry was just as shocked. I clenched my jaw.

"Come out here you pussy! "

I took Jerry's crowbar and started smashing the monitors.

I don't need those anyway.

I got even more angry and smashed the intercom.

Follow my voice...

I heard one in the kitchen. I ran in the kitchen and smashed that one too.

That's right...Follow my voice.

I ran and smashed each one, until I made it in his basement.

There was a single light on. Barely enough light filling the room.

Henry was standing right underneath it. I ran toward him and swung the crowbar at him, but he dodged it. He hit me in the side with his hand. I swung again and he ducked and uppercut me.

I staggered back a little. I wipe the blood from my mouth and made myself calm down. I needed to concentrate and not fight blindly.

I tossed the crowbar to the side. Henry cocked his head to the side and smiled. I put my fists up.

"Finally, a man to man fight. "

I probably don't know how to fight that well, but I was planning on kicking his ass.

He throws a left jab, but I push it to the right and throw a right jab to his nose. His head goes back and he staggers. I take that opportunity to charge him.

I run and tackle him down. I hold him down as I repeatedly strike his face. I stop and pull out my knife. I raise it up.

He starts laughing. "Come on. Finish me. Be who you were meant to be. A killer..like me... "

I clenchy jaw.

"Michael, stop! "

I hear Jake behind me.

"Don't do it, Michael! You're better than his! "

Anger boils up inside of me.

"Put it down! "

"Aaaaahahahahahahaaahhhhh. "

"Michael, no- "

I strike the ground with the knife.

Henry looks at me with relief and fear.

I whisper, "I will never be like you... "

I stand up and walk toward the basement door.

On the way out, I say, "He's all yours. "
