Socks was woken by a scream from outside. "COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!"
"What're yous doin mate? We aren't the FBI."
He sat up, blinking in confusion. Was that... Laff and Nadwe? How did they find him so quickly?
"Well, what'd you want me to say?" Nadwe pouted.
"Would you just shut up? You shouldn't even be here." Another voice hissed. Was Blaza here too?
He stood, making a beeline for the window.
He could see Laff, Blaza, Nadwe, Muffin, Tbh, Joocie... he was beyond outnumbered. (Beyond outnumbered... innumbered? 🤔)
He ducked away from the window, his mind racing.
How had they found him? How could he get out of this? Could he get out of this? If he went back to prison, would they keep looking for who had shot Meme?

"I saw him!" Joocie shouted excitedly.
"Socks, come out!" Tbh called, anger flaring in his eyes.
"Blaza, go ahead." Dino nodded, looking over to the glorified anime cosplayer.
Blaza nodded, walking up to the door and knocking awkwardly.
"Socks? It's Blaza." He said, trying not to sound threatening.
"I know." Socks answered, his voice muffled through the door. Even though it was difficult to make out his words, his fear was as plain as day.
"Just open the door." Blaza ordered, getting slightly annoyed.
"Only if you'll listen this time."
Socks words had kind of stung, though Blaza wasn't sure why. Pulling himself together, he breathed out a simple "Okay."
The door opened, revealing a nervous SocksFor1. He pulled Blaza inside and slammed the door behind him, breathing heavily.
A sudden terror washed over Blaza. Why had he thought this was a good idea? Socks had killed Meme in broad daylight, what would stop him from killing Blaza, completely alone?
"I didn't shoot Meme." Socks said, looking at Blaza pleadingly. Summoning all his courage, he took a deep breath and stared back at Socks.
"Shut up. I know you did."
Socks looked away. "Listen... I'll go back to jail, no complaining, no anything," he looked back up at Blaza, determation suddenly flaring in his eyes. "if you promise to keep looking for who shot him afterwards."
"No! You... no. You just want to scare me, I KNOW you killed Meme! I'm not going to let you make me think otherwise." Blaza huffed, trying to convince himself just as much as Socks.
"Please..." the spaceman mumbled pleadingly.
"NO!!" Blaza shouted back. "How can I believe it was anyone other then you?!? There's no evidence on anyone else! You're a heartless killer, why should I listen to anything you have to say?!?"
"I..." Socks didn't have anything in his defense. He couldn't tell what had really happened... but it was the only evidence he had that he hadn't shot Meme...
Blaza started toward the door, suddenly not caring if Socks made it out or not.
"Wait." He heard the spaceman say behind him. Blaza turned, watching as tears began to form and fall down Socks' face.
"I... I did kill Meme."
"I KNEW IT!!" Blaza screamed, staring at Socks with anger burning in his eyes.
"He begged me to!" Socks sobbed, breaking down. "He... he was already d-dying. I couldn't bear to see him like that, I..." Socks collapsed onto the floor, unable to keep talking. He sounded so... real. No one could lie that well, had Socks actually not been the one to shoot him? If Meme had asked him to kill him, was Socks still as bad as he'd thought?
He wasn't sure how long he'd stood there, trying to comprehend what Socks had just said, but the thought hit him that it had been to long.
He looked down at his watch. They'd placed the bomb around 11:58. it was 12:07 now, and the bomb had been set to explode in 10 minutes...
"Socks, get up, we need to leave, now." Blaza said, pulling Socks to his feet.
"W-" Socks started as Blaza fumbled with the door. No no no... it couldn't be jammed now...
He gave up on the handle and slammed into it, smashing it as both he and Socks collapsed onto the grass.
The last thing Blaza remembered before blacking out was the explosion behind him.
