Chapter Twenty-Five: Act Up (Last part)

A few hours later, before sunrise, after Matt got killed in the car sent to the dead body in the trunk as soon as the gang drove into the middle of nowhere in Georgia to find a location quietly. They went near the woods right in front of the river; while they stopped, the boys got out of the car, grabbed the body from the trunk, and held it there on the way to the river.

While the guys are carrying the dead bodies, some of the hunters are holding guns while following them, strolling as they wait on them to get the job done until they take turns. The boys dropped the body into the river, watching for the next five minutes while chilling in the lake. They're preparing to leave out of there, and three boys get killed by the hunting in the woods until the sunrise begins.

*6am*

Kacy is stuck in the psych ward on the bed when she's sleeping; at the beginning of the morning, Lili unexpectedly arrives outside in the building, which is not open until two more hours. She finds out when she exits the campus and spies on Sandra and Titus talking about Kacy. She remembers going there in the psych ward before. She's already changing her life after leaving the psych ward many years ago.

Lili: *uses bobby pin to unlock the door and comes in while searching for Kacy*

Kacy: *sleeps*

Lili: *looks around in each room while talking to herself* Smell like a rat. This place is nuts; that's fucking gross.

Kacy: *hearing something while her eyes open softly and get up slowly*

Lili: *checking the room to search for Kacy until she found her*

Kacy: *sees Lili*

Lili: *opens the door with a bobby pin*

Kacy: Lili! How the hell did you get here?

Lili: *holds her* Shh, don't say shit. Sandra and Titus got you fucked up.

Kacy: We gotta find Sam.

Lili: No, I'll find him. I have to find a place for you to stay in the hotel, OK? Forget about your clothes; I'll get you your new ones. Promise?

Kacy: Promise.

Lili and Kacy: *hugging together*

Kacy: Thank you. *murmuring*

Lili: *hearing*

Later that night in South Carolina, Sandra, and Titus had a perfect time gathering their friends because they had been acting like they were celebrating early for Jason and the gang. Sandra is coming through with her plans with Titus against them, which is still not over with Jason's gang. They are likely to clash and be destroyed when it comes to taking over the city when it's done.

Titus: After we did half and the part, we need more than that for plotting.

Sandra: Shit; what if I kept forgetting? These fuckers should be zero percent to making them threatening.

Titus: *hearing*

Sandra: Winners focus, haters gossip.

Titus: *smirks*

Sandra: We've gotten keep playing; we are still hunting his friends to get the fuck up out of the dodge.

Titus: *hearing*

Leo drives to the seafood restaurant to see Tiara when he has to tell her something. He gets out of the car and walks right in front of the building, peeking in the window, and sees Tiara hanging out with friends. She chatters with her friends until she sees him outside and goes outside to confront him.

Tiara: Leo. Hey. What's wrong?

Leo: *hearing*

Tiara: Are you alright?

Leo: I don't know what I'm doing.

Tiara: It's my father.

Leo: Yeah. I see him,  I go. I can't... I don't know what to do. And I can't get him out of my head.

Tiara: Yeah, but we've got this.

Leo: I know, but Tiara...it's not his choice. I keep away from you. And now I'm coming and eating with your family. How can I do this? What does this make me?

Tiara: I don't know; what does that make you? It makes me not able to live with myself.

Leo: I do love you.

Tiara: I love you. But why are you acting that way?

Leo: Then why isn't that enough?

Tiara: Huh?

Leo: What if something happened to you as it happened to him because of me? I let that happen.

Tiara: Listen to me. You're a good man, and I love that. But I love it more.

Leo: *hearing* That's it for me. I can't lose you too.

Tiara: If you can't lose me, we can't be together; who does that work out for, Leo? I had more respect for you.

Leo: I can't. I'm sorry, Tiara.

Tiara: Wow. You have done this to me since the first time, Leo. I can't live like this. I break up with you. I break up with you.

Leo: *hearing*

Tiara: *walks back inside*

Leo: *heading back in the car and drives away*

Later, Jason, Strike, and Leo spent time in the restaurant at one table; Leo kept worried about Tiara's father, saying he kept putting her daughter in danger when he was feeling on the brain during Jason and Strike's conversation.

Jason: Are you alright? *looks at Leo*

Leo: I'm straight.

Jason: I'm sorry for what you heard about her father.

Leo: It's cool.

Strike: There are so many trashy things going on in Atlanta; the cops are always getting involved.

Leo: Facts.

Strike: Who wouldn't know? They weren't getting away to the school.

Jason: They showed up twice.

Strike: Give me a break. You could've told us.

Jason: My friends are handling me; I've gotta take care of them first to make sure he doesn't get hurt or killed.

Strike: *hearing*

Jason: Pop, dirty cops kept following me around, and I didn't do shit to them; they wanted me to get rid of me for good.

Leo: Why is that?

Jason: Watch. They'll keep marking on me while I'm out somewhere. I don't see them out here. I had to save up my money for my dad before he lost his mind.

Strike: He couldn't be smartass enough, and that's how he treats people differently. He puts himself in danger for a whole time, just doing himself a playbook when he comes clean.

Jason: *hearing*

Kacy: *arrives in the restaurant*

Jason: *sees her and stands up* Kacy?

Kacy: *sees him and hugging him* Jason.

Jason: *grunts and hugs her softly* Easy...Titus and Sandra put you on this?

Kacy: They did. I've been sticking in here for a day. Lili helped me out and sent me to the hotel.

Jason: Glad you're alright.

Kacy: I ain't done with them.

Strike: Jason, why would you and your friends sit with us?

Jason: Kacy?

Kacy: *tries to say it and sees the window broken with the bullet while hearing a gunshot*

Leo and Strike: *dodges*

Jason: Get the fuck down. *holds her down and hides*

??: *shooting in the window tried to target Strike, Leo, and Jason*

Strike: *shoots the car and hides*

Jason: *shoots the guy against the car several times*

Kacy: *watching him and sees the boys getting shot by someone*

??: *drives away quickly*

Sam: *arrives quickly*

Kacy: Sam!

Sam: *sees her and kisses her*

Kacy: *kisses him back* Are you OK?

Sam: I'm good. Jason, are you straight?

Jason: *nods*

Sam: I was the one who shot a couple of boys.

Leo: Nice aim, white boy.

Sam: *hearing*

Jason: I knew the cops were pulling up through with this.

Sam: We had to do something quickly before losing everything after they took their win.

The next day, Blue was chilling alone in the park. He sat on the bench with a soda can until he took out his phone and texted someone, waiting for a response. River was also arriving in the park; she came by and was chilling here, too. She didn't expect to see Blue on the bench because she recognized him with the hair.

River: Blue! Are you Blue, right?

Blue: *looks up and sees her* Yeah.

River: *smiles softly* Hi.

Blue: Hey, what's up? *stands up and hugging her*

River: *hugs him back* I haven't seen you in a while.

Blue: *hearing* Have a seat. How's your life? *sits on the bench*

River: Everything is the same.

Blue: What the same?

River: Remember I told you about the lake?

Blue: Yeah.

Chloe and Oscar decided to do more recruiting for their team; they drove near Lake Claire through the neighborhood as Chloe was driving it and stopped right next to the local house to meet with Lydia. Jason and Tabby are doing the same thing for recruiting; they've always helped Oscar and Chloe by giving them opportunities to join. Jason drove right in front of the corner store and saw a person named Cadoc. He's doing his job with the drug and real talk for his energy.

*Lydia and Cadoc*

Later that night, Kacy and Sam shared the room. They lay on the bed watching the show, covering their bodies with a blanket and cuddling.

Kacy: Sam?

Sam: *looks at her*

Kacy: How did you escape before you saved us?

Sam: I was in the hotel in Dunwoody.

Kacy: *sighs*

Sam: We're lucky because we're in Atlanta, so back.

Kacy: I can feel it.

Sam: *hearing the phone call*

Kacy: *picks up the phone and answers* Hello?

Chloe: Kacy?

Kacy: Chloe, I'm OK. I'm in the hotel.

Chloe: Lili told me anything to make sure you're safe. Is Sam here with you?

Kacy: He's right here.

Chloe: I have a word for you this time.

Kacy: What is it, now?

Chloe: Take Joshua out.

Kacy: What about the cops?

Chloe: Don't do shit yet; we have a business to take care of them afterward. I'll send you this address and go right in without speaking; do it. Now.

Kacy: *hearing*

Sam: Kacy, what's wrong?

Kacy: Sam? *looks at him*

Kacy rode on the bus following the address to get there for twenty minutes around the corner of the house. She listens to music while in her mood, gets off the bus after several stops, and searches for the right address while taking out her earbuds.

She is wearing a leather jacket because the outside is turning a breeze while she's taking care of Sam's gun. She finds Joshua's house to check if he's there, but the lights are gone, and no one is there.

Kacy: *breaks the door window with the gun, unlocks the door, opens quietly, and steps in, sneaking around softly while searching for Joshua until she hears someone from upstairs and goes upstairs to look for him*

Joshua: *putting everything his stuff away in the closet and opens the dresser to check his stuff and make sure it's clear until he sees Kacy*

Kacy: *points the gun at him*

Joshua: *tried to look for the gun*

Kacy: *shoots his arm twice*

Joshua: *grunts and moves back a bit*

Kacy: *shoots his chest three times*

Joshua: *coughs blood while trying to catch his breath*

Kacy: *comes closer to him*

Joshua: *looks at her*

Kacy: *watching him dead*

Joshua: *dead*

Titus and Sandra drove to Strike's house to speak with Strike and Leo about Jason's situation; once they stood on the porch, Sandra rang the doorbell nicely and waited for the response.

Leo: *opens the door and sees them* Can I help you?

Titus: We have a word for Jason. We're Atlanta PD. *shows him the badge*

Sandra: *doing the same*

Strike: I got this, son. *looks at Leo while walking closer to them*

Titus: So, your grandson is some serious troublemaker, but do you know why what is going on with Jason?

Strike: Jason told me everything about you. Because I said so, I know y'all names; I ain't worth it.

Titus: I'm here to prefer when he was supposed to be doing; he's been given a good grade.

Sandra: Listen, Mr. Porter, the only thing is, your grandson is in serious trouble.

Strike: He's always in great danger; he wouldn't try to hurt y'all.

Titus: I understand. I want you guys to keep him out of trouble.

Leo: Well, no more questions for us. You guys said we'll keep an eye on him, and that's it. End the conversation. *walks away*

Strike: *shuts the door* Motherfuckers.

Leo: Pussy ass. I knew it. They were getting involved with him. We had to go down to Atlanta to get him.

Strike: He would do his job enough; he could catch up on himself. He's not scared of anything. Let me call him and say something to him.

Leo: I'm about to go check up on Mom. *went upstairs*

*Simon and Tabby*

Simon: Fuck, I had to do something so bad. I need to get this room from my apartment. *point it out while walking outside with Tabby*

Tabby: *hearing*

Simon: I can't even quit when I'm doing this already.

Tabby: You couldn't catch a break when you became broke after you bought this house and everything.

Simon: I don't want to lay out a lot of cash. I need to spend and save it up mixed. Pay half of my tuition. My town is really going on; a lot of shit is crazy in hell; I came back home it was the same type of thing.

Tabby: That's so stupid. I would've stayed out of Chicago if I didn't wanna come back to Chicago for a while, speaking of them.

Simon: Who's them?

Tabby: Chloe and Oscar shared their home.

Simon: Putting something on the good jam so that I could sing on my own.

Tabby: You are definitely a better singer than that.

Simon: I usually do, but not at the moment. I had so many problems in my soul.

*Lili and Blue*

Lili and Blue: *walking together past through the neighborhood*

Blue: I don't see anybody out here.

Lili: Kids got school tomorrow; parents got work, too.

Blue: So, do they care about the business to take care of?

Lili: Parents handle their kids and can hold each other, too.

Blue: Shit.

Lili: Nothing we've done in the past as we are putting our work for; that's justified, but not yet. It's getting a lot of situations between Sandra and Titus.

Blue: These bozo has got to learn.

Lili: Dude, I swear to god...you're right! *groans softly and looks at him seriously*

Blue: *hearing*

Lili: Like, what the fuck? These two kept messing the whole thing up, but tonight, this thing ain't gotten do it to us.

Blue: I'm pretty sure they can eat healthy with fiber; Titus couldn't get enough stronger after he ate one.

Lili: That is why we are giving up more school supplies; we need something real before the rest of the semester is over.

Blue: It could've been done.

Lili: That's why our semester is still running. *claps her hand twice*

Blue: It couldn't back down for it.

Lili: *hearing*

*Kacy and Sam*

After Kacy returns from killing Joshua before she leaves the house, Kacy and Sam cuddle on the hotel bed; she is chilling when she is enjoying killing him. She isn't afraid of anyone besides Sandra and Titus. They'd watch the programming on TV when the movie came on regularly from the local channel.

Sam: Kacy, we need an HBO.

Kacy: They ain't gotten nothing on this piece of channel.

Sam: OK, every channel is boring as shit.

Kacy: *hearing*

Sam: Besides, they had a good movie to watch on HBO.

Kacy: *kisses his head* Make me proud.

Sam: Proud of what?

Kacy: For protecting us. I took Joshua down; we had two more left, and those were dirty cops.

Sam: I figured that.

Kacy: Forget it; let's watch any channel to see what shows are good.

Sam: *shrugs* That makes sense.

*Jason and Chloe*

Jason and Chloe are walking together around the corner at Peachtree St. They've been complaining about dirty cops because Chloe wants a different plan for the messy thing. She couldn't take anything seriously with them, so Jason agrees with what Chloe says about Sandra and Titus. Jason is still with her, as always, and plans to kill both of them ASAP.

Chloe: When will they realize that Titus and Sandra are the ones we're after?

Jason: They just wanna be certain, okay? What the fuck were you supposed to do? Are you gonna kill them?

Chloe: Of course I do; I just want them dead! 

Jason: Both of them are still out there.

Chloe: Oh, come on. How much more proof do we need than the words "I see you" written on our car outside the storm cellar? Those were the exact verbal words that made us threaten to get revenge.

Jason: I know, okay? I get it. It's just that... we can't keep everything low; we want everything on high.

Chloe: They don't believe us either.

Jason: Look, we must be utterly joyous before we do anything rash.

Chloe: Well, I am. And by now, if you're not, I don't know what's gonna change your mind. *continues walking*

Jason: Chloe. *follows her until he sees a grey car driving faster while he notices Chloe about to get hit* Chloe, look out! *pushed her out of the way and got hit by the car*

Chloe: *falls on the ground and sees Tee inside the car and looking at Jason unconscious*

Tee: *looks at Chloe* Stay away from Chicago; next time, I won't miss. *drives away*

Chloe: *checking on Jason and holds his head up*

Jason: *unconscious*

Chloe: HELP! HELP, PLEASE HELP! *almost nervous while tearing up a bit* Jason, stay with me. Stay with me. SOMEONE HELP!
