Chapter Thirty: Number One

After posting a message in the group chat, Jason heads to South Carolina to find Oscar the following day. He asks the gang to hold tight while he retrieves him. After driving a different car because his own was left in Georgia, Oscar is unsure if Jason will find him.

While driving to Lizard's Thicket Restaurant, he parked directly in front of the building, feeling famished. Surprisingly, he spotted Oscar inside, and he could hardly believe it.

Oscar: *eating and chilling until he sees Jason arrives*

Jason: *sees him and sits in the booth right in front of him*

Oscar: What's good?

Jason: What's good? You didn't even work with the dirty cops again, right?

Oscar: Well, that was a lot of surprise for me. To take advantage of me except for you.

Jason: I'll try to help you understand why you are in South Carolina. You're texting me to meet you there.

Oscar: Cause I'm sick of everything like he's treating bullshit when it used to be going against me.

Jason: Risk it all, take it all. However, you want to get back to us; instead, they're on their way back to campus today.

Oscar: *hearing*

Jason: We have the funds, we're dedicating our effort, and everything is progressing smoothly. They are sitting back in Georgia so your sister can manage the money.

Oscar: Thanks for my tip. Why would I make myself blame?

Jason: No one is blaming you, this shit ain't your fault, come on now.

Oscar: *hearing*

Jason: We are the same team.

Jamie came into the restaurant to relax after class. Sometimes, he hung out with his friends. Now, he sat alone in the booth, ready to grab lunch.

Jamie returns.

Jason: *goes over to him*

Jamie: *looks up and sees him* Where the hell did you come from?

Jason: Looking at our old friends.

Jamie: *high-five palm to him* What's up?

Jason: *doing the same and hugs him* Hey, bro.

Jamie: I didn't know you were driving there; you got some company in here?

Jason: I am already spending little time with my friend, stopping by to get some energy.

Jamie: *hearing*

Jason: How's your life? How's your business going on?

Jamie: You know...everything is great now; I need a quick run soon.

Jason: Around the time you're grabbing a bite.

Jamie: *laughs softly*

Jason: While you're headed for running a little, I wondered if I could give you a little hand with my friend to roll with you.

*Covington, Georgia*

Tabby and Chloe set out to meet Maxwell after Chloe receives a call from Cadoc. She asks Tabby to accompany her in delivering a gift for him. Once they arrive, they exit the car and head to the porch.

Tabby: I can stay put and do whatever you want with him.

Chloe: Do you know there is a bad idea for us?

Tabby: What are you talking about? I thought you said we're gonna drop off for his gift.

Chloe: We are.

Tabby: *hearing*

Chloe: *knocks on the door*

Maxwell: What is this bitch want? *quietly himself while peeking into the eye of the door and seeing Chloe*

Chloe: I got your gift.

Maxwell: *opens the door and drags her inside*

Chloe: *falls to the ground while grunts*

Tabby: *tried to kill him with the gun*

Maxwell: *dragged her inside and kicked her*

Tabby: *falls on the table*

Chloe: *tried to fight him*

Maxwell: *holding her and punches her hardly*

Chloe: *falls to the floor*

Tabby: *grunts and gets on the back and attacks him*

Maxwell: *grunts* Get the fuck off of me.

Tabby: *punching him three times*

Maxwell: *feels it and punches her back and throws her to the living room*

Tabby: *got crushed by the bookshelf*

Maxwell: *walks over to her and chokes her neck*

Tabby: *tried to release and fight him back*

Maxwell: *keeps choking her neck*

Tabby: *choking and keep trying to release herself*

Chloe: *gets up and gets on the back until she sees the gun and shoots in the back*

Maxwell: *falls to the floor*

Tabby: *shuts the door*

Maxwell: Cadoc, send y'all two?

Tabby: *points the gun at him*

Maxwell: You don't know how to shoot, little girl; Cadoc owes me first. And he didn't recruit you two.

Tabby: You pathetic. You fucked with the wrong bitch.*shoots his head*

Maxwell: *dead*

Chloe: *reacting*

*Later that night*

Chloe: *finished washing the clothes before heading back to the dorm until she got the message and reads it*

Jason: *text* I will be on my way by tomorrow.

Chloe: *text* Be careful.

Jason: *text* I had your brother.

Chloe: *text* Tell him to be careful too. *sat and lying on the bed and thinking about her brain while looking at the ceiling*

Simon: *tried to walk to his room before he heard someone cry until he saw Lili's door, knocked, and opened the door*

Lili: *wiping her tears*

Simon: *shuts the door and goes over to her and rubs her back*

Lili: I've been thinking about him. I hope she's alright.

Simon: There is nothing to be afraid or anything. He's still coming back.

Lili: Why should I have trusted myself instead of Oscar?

Simon: I don't know. We are working with him; remember, we had to follow him in learning.

Lili: He's a competitor, just like that.

Simon: *hearing*

Lili: *looking at the window*

Simon: I got your back.

Lili: I think I'm good. I need some rest.

Simon: OK. *walks out of her room*

The next day, Jason drove back to Georgia with Oscar. Two cars exited the highway to take a shortcut toward the university and entered the parking garage to find a spot. Jason parked the Mustang right next to Oscar's car.

Jason and Oscar: *gets out of the car*

Oscar: I think we should head out of the club tonight.

Jason: Tonight?

Oscar: Yeah, tonight. I need energy; I need pride.

Jason: What if you take pride in finding ways to chill out without getting drunk?

Oscar: I'm not.

Oscar continued to follow Jason to the dorm, refreshing each other and considering their options for tracking down Titus.
