The Young and the Dramatic
Episode 25: Wawanakwa City Prepares for a Showdown
The five spread out around the planning table in the conference room.
Hatchet looked up to the four standing before him, "May I remind you that once we go after Zoey, there's no turning back. Judging by what's been able to accomplish since she arrived in town, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that it will be dangerous,"
Duncan chuckled, "The 'D' in my name stands for dangerous!"
"Really?" Katie asked, staring at the bad boy.
"No, not really," Duncan said, realizing that his joke had not gone over too well with everyone else.
Jo raised an eyebrow at the bad boy, and looked back over at Hatchet, who was explaining the rescue mission to all those who were actually paying attention.
"Here's how our plan will work," Hatchet said, beginning a full on monologue.
Duncan yawned, "Make it quick,"
"Bridgette, you're going to have to do this," Hatchet said, staring intently at the surfer girl, "Since we have no idea where they're holding the four, we'll have to use you as bait,"
Bridgette's eyes widened.
"What?" Bridgette asked.
Duncan rolled his eyes, "For someone who's figured out this much, you're sure getting slow,"
"I know what he said, idiot!" Bridgette snapped, losing her temper with the bad boy, "I'm just a little nervous,"
"Well then," Duncan folded his arms.
Hatchet continued detailing the plan, and once he was done, Duncan smiled.
"Alright; let's bag us a psycho,"
"My line, punk," Hatchet snapped, and then left the room, with Jo, Bridgette, and Katie following.
As they were walking out, Jo began talking.
"One way or another," Jo said, "Zoey is going down. Dead or alive,"
"She's going down," Bridgette said, punching her left palm with her other hand, "I'm going to make sure of that,"
The four sat in Jo's car (so Zoey wouldn't realize what was up), and were waiting for Bridgette to approach Zoey. The surfer girl had gone up to her apartment to confront the redhead.
Hopefully everything would go according to plan.
Bridgette pounded on the door, and it swung open, revealing Zoey to be standing in the doorway.
"What now?" Zoey asked.
"Can I come in?" Bridgette asked, and without getting an answer, she stepped into the apartment. Zoey shut and locked the door behind her, and spun around.
"What is it?"
Bridgette folded her arms, and approached the redhead.
"I know it was. It was all you," Bridgette snapped.
Zoey's eyes widened, "What exactly do you think I did, Bridgette?" her head cocked to the side, and a smile spread across her face.
"You kidnapped all four of them, and murdered Gwen," Bridgette said, glaring at the redhead, "You make me sick,"
"Oh really," Zoey asked, "Well then,"
The redhead turned around, and started to walk away, but almost immediately swung back with her Taser in hand.
"O my God!" Bridgette exclaimed, "It is you—"
But before Bridgette could finish her sentence, Zoey tased her, and Bridgette crumbled to the ground.
"Finally," Zoey said, smiling, "It's about time,"
"Shh," Jo said, waving for the other three to stop talking.
Zoey's black Mercedes pulled out of the Alcatraz apartment's parking lot, and went down the road.
"Slow down," Hatchet warned the Jockette as she slowly started following the redhead's car. In the backseat of Zoey's car, Duncan noticed a slumped silhouette through the window.
"He's got her," Duncan pointed out, "I think she's unconscious,"
"Good," Hatchet said, "Then she won't be awake to realize how scary of a situation we put her in,"
Zoey dragged Bridgette into the cell, causing much tension to rise.
"O no," Cody said, realizing who it was, "They got her too,"
Leshawna glared at Zoey as she handcuffed Bridgette to the same pole that Cody was attached to.
"You're a monster, you know that?" she snapped.
"Call me what you will," Zoey said with a smile. She left the room, causing the room to plunge into darkness yet again.
"I'm so sorry," Cody said, looking at Bridgette's unconscious body, "I should've stayed with you. And now we're both trapped her,"
Dawn reached over, and put her hand on Bridgette's forehead.
"She is OK. She should awake soon," Dawn revealed, and then went back to meditating, causing both Leshawna and Cody to give her strange looks.
Jo parked the car right outside of the warehouse, and all four stepped out of the car.
"You two stay in the car," Hatchet warned them, "Jo and I will take care of this,"
Katie shook her head, "No. I'm going with you. I've been cooped up in a prison cell all day. I need some fresh air," she folded her arms.
"And I've got some payback coming their way," Duncan said, cracking his knuckles.
"Good luck with that," Jo rolled her eyes, and the four entered the warehouse. Just as they entered it, the door shut behind them, causing them to jump.
"Hello?" Katie let out, "Um, I think I'm going to stay in the car,"
"Too late," Hatchet pulled out his gun, "Show yourself Smith!"
The group started walking down the path in the warehouse; it smelled of cow manure, as if it had used to be an old cow house. Just as they turned a corner, the four came face to face with Zoey, who was walking towards them.
Zoey gasped, and started running in the other direction.
"It's Zoey!" barked Hatchet as they turned the corner.
Duncan pulled out his pistol, "Say hello to Hell for me!" he screamed as he chased after her.
"Abraham! Get your ass back here!" Hatchet snapped, chasing after the bad boy, who was chasing Zoey wildly with his gun.
"Stay here," Jo said to Katie, chasing after the three.
Katie looked around, and suddenly felt creeped out.
"I think I'm going to, uh, find the hostages," she said, and then walked towards the direction that the four had run down.
The five hostages sat on the cold floor, in the cell, waiting for someone to come rescue them.
Suddenly, they heard a man's yell.
"Is that Hatchet?" Cody sounded, looking around.
"I think so," Leshawna said, and started pounding against the wall, and wailing at the loudest she could go, "In here! Somebody help us!"
As if on cue, the door swung open, and light flooded into the cell.
Standing in the doorway was Katie, who had a bright smile on her face. "Found you," she said, smiling, "I am so good at hide and go seek,"
"I don't know who you are," Cody said, beaming back, "But thank you,"
Dawn opened up an eye, and stopped meditating, "She's Katie Stars," she tapped her chin, "Shouldn't you be in jail?"
"Long story," Katie waved it away, and pulls out a hair clip from her hair, "But here, let's get you guys unchained,"
After several minutes, Katie managed to unlock everybody, and they stood up for what seemed like the first time in moments.
B grabbed Bridgette from off the floor, and Katie led the five out of the cell. However, they stopped when suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
In another part of the warehouse, Duncan held out his gun, glaring at Zoey who had fallen to the floor.
Duncan hadn't shot her, but he'd shot the wall right behind her.
"You killed my Gwen," the bad boy screamed at her, "And now I'm going to kill you,"
From behind Duncan, came Jo and Hatchet, who were staring intently at the situation that was going on.
Just as Duncan was about to pull the trigger, Zoey let out.
"It wasn't me!" Zoey exclaimed.
Duncan put down the gun, dropping his glare, "What do you mean it wasn't you? You admitted to killing her! I know you did!"
"It wasn't me! It was the person that I'm working for. She killed Gwen!" Zoey screamed, slowly crawling back towards the door behind her.
"Who's 'she'?" Duncan pressed on, walking towards Zoey, who was on the verge of tears.
Zoey latched onto the wall, and stood up. Taking a deep breath, she finally let out the name of the murderer of Gwen.
"Blaineley O'Halloran,"
Next on the Young and the Dramatic…
"We had it wrong the entire time," Bridgette said, gasping.
It's all come down to this…
"Blaineley is somewhere in the city," Hatchet said, "And we're going to find her,"
The truth will come out…
"Why the hell did Blaineley kill Gwen?" Bridgette snapped, approaching Duncan.
And no one knows what's coming next…
"You killed her in cold blood!" Bridgette screamed, "And now I'm going to kill you!"
A/N – Well folks, its all come down to this! I told you all Blaineley would come back one way or another, and now she's Gwen's killer! Mysterious, huh? Well, I can tell you that tomorrow will have several cliffhangers, both good and bad, that will all lead into the very possible second season! See you tomorrow!
