Ch 12
David saw the unyielding conviction in the blonde's eyes. It was the same conviction he had learned to master back in the day. He lowered the gun, "Tell your girlfriend to stand down." He stated. Ron looked back at Kim, "I don't know man, she's hard to persuade when she sets her mind to something." He moved past Ron, walking up to Kim. "Last chance, step aside, please." Kim's expression hardened. But before she could retort a bottle was smashed over her head. Locke watched in slow motion as her eyes rolled up and she pitched towards him. Catching the teen in one arm he aimed and fried at Matt with his sidearm. The bullet lodged itself in the back door. "KP!" the blonde yelled, rushing over to her side. "Stay with her." David instructed as he bolted out the back door.
He ran down the stairs as fast as possible. Seeing that Matt was almost at the end, he decided to cover more ground. Jumping from landing to landing, he crashed arm first into a guard railing. Hopping down the last set of stairs he sprinted after the teen. Matt was yanking on the door of Locke's Camaro as he approached. "Come on! Come on!" "You gave me back the keys remember?" Matt turned and came face to face with David. "You asshole! You killed Jammie!" "He deserved it!" Locke yelled back. "Well I'm not going out like some pussy!" yelled Matt drawing a knife. "You're still bleeding idiot, you wont last much longer unless you get that taken care of." "screw you!" Matt yelled, charging foreword. Locke holstered his pistol and caught Matt's knife hand in mid strike. Twisting it out of his hands he cut him in the leg. "Gaahhh! Ahh you son of a bitch!" Matt screamed, falling to the ground. Locke took the knife and tossed it aside. Reaching down he grabbed the teen under the chin, placed his other hand on his head and twisted to right. A sickening crack was heard as Matt fell sideways to the ground. David heard footsteps approaching. "KP… I think w-we… oh." Ron took in the scene, Matt's body was laying on it's side, his head at a awkward angle, with Locke standing over him. Kim came up next to him a glare on her face. "You just couldn't help yourself, could you?" she said. "I told you it needed to be done." David responded evenly. He turned and walked around to the driver side door. "Hey! You can't just leave! You killed someone!" Kim yelled, marching over and stopping him from closing the door. David glared, "What are you doing?" "Stopping you from leaving!" "Uh, Kim I think we should let him go." The redhead turned her glare on her boyfriend. "are you crazy? Ron he .." "I know, Kim he killed some people, and I'm not saying that's right, but look at him, he tired exhausted." Kim turned and took in Locke's appearance. His hair was disheveled, and he had bags under his eyes. His suit was torn in a few places, and his white shirt had blood splotches on it. "All I'm saying is at least let him go home and rest, we can come talk to him tomorrow." "You are unbelievable! He's a murderer Ron, we can't just let him go!" "Why not? You heard him earlier, he said once he gets his car back he's done." Ron replied. Kim was fuming, "I cant believe you're taking his side!" "I'm not taking anyone's side, I'm ju-"The teens argument was interrupted by a car door slamming shut, then the engine roared to life. "Hey, we are so not done yet!" "Yes, we are, let me go home and I'll walk down to the precinct tomorrow with the both of you." Locke offered. "KP, come on let it go." "Ahhh! Ya know what Ron? If you're buddy buddy with him so bad why don't you just stay here with him!" she fumed. She marched away, with the blonde chasing after her. He tried getting into the car they arrived in but his girlfriend had beat him to it and locked him out. "Come on Kim, I'm sorry ok? " but the car puled away, leaving the blonde in it's dust. The teen turned towards the sound of the car behind him. Stopping Locke rolled down the window. "Hey, Ron was it? You want a ride or not?" he smirked. "Wait you serious? I get to ride in the bondiggidy car?" the teen walked over and opened the door and got in the car. "This is so awesome! Booyah!" exclaimed Ron. "Calm down kid, it's just a car." Locke smirked. "Now I'm gonna need your address."
