Chapter 10
Carly did not move from her spot for half a day. By the time she got back to the office, things had quieted down. Her employees believed that she had been taken.
Nevel had cracked down the second she had left the office. People were missing. Houses left in shambles, animals left to run wild.
Carly absently wondered why Nevel was doing all this. Was it a revenge of a nerd upon the popular girl who had ditched him? No, because Freddie had more reason than Nevel to do this.
Where was Freddie? He had disappeared months ago. Some said he was dead, which felt like a searing hot knife wedging itself into her heart. Now all she had of him were memories. The warmth of his smile in the sun, the slurping sound when he licked ice cream, the feel of his lips…
Carly relaxed into her chair and let her mind wander back to those nights in Freddie's office. Her tension drained away as her shoulders slumped.
(This fan fiction is rated 'T' for teen, not 'M', so we're just going to wait for a moment as she collects herself.)
The door flew open as another surprise government raid burst into Carly's office. The woman stumbled back, visibly bothered. Her breath was shaky and her skin moist from sweat. None of the earlier raids had ever disturbed her.
Carly adjusted her clothing and waited for the tickets to be issued. They always found something out of place. The justices would harass her, tell her to conform, she would ignore them and pay her bills. It was an odd life cycle.
But they were not there to issue tickets, they were an extermination squad.
Only a dozen employees showed up after the crack-down Nevel had ordered. Shots rang out down below. One of the agents grabbed Carly by the hair and slammed her down on the desk head-first. Her eyes were readjusting when she heard a familiar voice say, "Carly, you are going to make one hot corpse."
Then Gibby shot her.
A.N. alright, who's tired of me killing off main characters? Raise your hands. Also, two reviews means two chapters. What do you think so far? Is there any hope at all left?
