At Noah's house...
The boy who lives in the house, stared out his own window. He couldn't sleep at all, considering that he was paranoid if this figure would end up knowing that Duncan was in his house, and attempt to get in. So as Duncan was asleep, Noah stayed awake, deciding to make sure that this figure wasn't going anywhere near his house.
For the most part, Noah was trying to keep himself awake as best as he can. He had soda cups near him, he had the radio on to keep himself awake, hearing the song 'Semi-Charmed Life' by Third Eye Blind on the radio, and he kept his eyes on the front porch from his window. Noah yawned on occasions, trying to keep himself from falling asleep. But that was when he heard the radio turn off out of nowhere.
Noah's face fell onto the desk, waking himself up from his tiredness. He looks behind himself, seeing Duncan, wearing a white tank-top and baggy jeans with tears in them, standing by the radio. He appeared to have turned it off when he came into the room.
"Dude, can you keep this off? I'm trying to sleep." Duncan said, clearly irritated. "What are you even doing up here anyway?"
"First of all, it's my room...second, I'm making sure that that douche-bag out there, doesn't come to my house. The last thing I really need is whoever the hell that guy is to come into my house to go after you." Noah said. "Now can you get out of my room so that I can be alone?"
"Whatever...I am still peeved with you for having Scott die back there."
"Whatever, just get out of my room already!"
"I swear, after we all survive this, I'm going to kick your ass."
Once Duncan left his bedroom, Noah looks out the window once again. Nobody in sight just yet. So if anything, that should be good for him, at least. But it'll lack a night of sleep for him, and he had already got over the whole problem before that he hadn't slept a whole night before. But he had to make sure that he was safe, along with Duncan.
It didn't really help Noah that he still felt incredibly sleepy while he was sitting there, looking at the ground from the second floor of his house. He tried to continue to keep himself awake, no matter what. However, all of this seemed impossible for him to do. But thankfully, something happens that made him able to not fall to the ground, finally sleeping.
The boy's phone immediately went off when he closed his eyes. Noah jumps onto his feet, looking down at the desk, seeing his phone was going off. Assuming that it was Emma, Noah answers the phone.
"Hello? Emma, if you're calling me, I got to say..." That was when Noah was interrupted.
"Emma? Noah, this is Courtney." A different female voice said on the phone. "I was told about what happened at the police station."
"Oh Courtney, you heard what happened at the police station..."
Noah stopped himself in his own words after saying that. His former crush said that she figured that out? She probably knows about the fact that he told Duncan, Jo, and Alejandro about what had happened at the playground on that very night when Scott was attacked. Noah knew that Courtney was probably as angry as her boyfriend after that.
"Oh...you know now? Well...I know what you're going to say to me. You're going to be furious with me because I allowed somebody to die, and I'm a terrible friend for even thinking that something like hiding in a playground, letting someone die is unacceptable for..."
"Noah, I think I'm going to have to stop your rumbling there." Courtney said, interrupting Noah after all of that was said. "I'm trying to stay impartial to this situation while trying to focus on the main one at hand."
"Courtney...if you blame me, I get it. I...think I should've done something to save Scott from that fight he was in. Hell, I think all of us are targets because I didn't do anything to stop that son of a bitch from killing Scott."
"I'm sorry. I just got told all of this from Duncan, and that he's sleeping at your house, and...I really wish he went to mine instead of yours."
"Eh, blame me for that too. I just...invited him along so I can...try to make it up to him...somehow. But that didn't do shit."
Still sitting there by the window, Noah took notice of somebody walking down the sidewalk. He stood there silently, looking at the sidewalk spot, noticing Gwen walking down the sidewalk with Shawn's crossbow in hand. Raising a eyebrow, Noah stood up from the chair he was sitting on, before heading over to his bedroom door.
"Noah, is something wrong?" Courtney asked.
"I gotta go, Courtney. I just noticed something outside." Noah said.
"Wait..."
"Can't talk now. Gotta run."
Noah hangs up the phone, and then ran downstairs to confront Gwen on why she was outside. He knew he couldn't allow somebody like her out here during a situation that was slightly his fault. So he had to stop her from doing something that is going to get her killed instead of surviving.
With Gwen...
She was reacting down wherever this figure went. She kept the crossbow close to her, as she was looking around the entire neighborhood. It seemed like after she came into the mix, the killer went into hiding knowing that she has a crossbow. That, or they didn't want to face Gwen now that she's involved in this.
The sound of police sirens were heard in the distance from where Gwen was standing at. Once she heard those sirens, the goth ran straight into the bushes, hiding from the polices sights. The goth poked her head out of the hedge, as a couple police cars were just passing by the location she was at. Once they were gone...
"You mind telling me why you are out here?!" Noah's voice shouts from behind her.
Gwen jumps at the sound of Noah's voice, as she aims the crossbow behind her. She took notice that it was Noah, she sighed in relief.
"Damn it, Noah...you scared me half to death..." Gwen said, shaking her head. "What are you doing out here? Don't you know that it's dangerous out here?"
"I should be telling YOU that." Noah said in a stern voice. "What are you even doing out here? There's a killer out here and you have...a crossbow? A baseball bat? Should I be worried if you're carrying more weapons?"
"Don't be. These are the only weapons I have." Noah roles his eyes. "Also, Cody knows that I'm doing this too."
"And he didn't stop you?!"
"Could you please pipe down before Detective McLean ends up hearing us? The last thing I need to know is that he is aware that we're out here, and I'm trying to protect the neighborhood from this psychopath."
"Yeah, try defending it. Until the psycho sends you to your grave!" Noah whispers harshly. "Also, don't you know that even if you get this guy, Chris will still be pushed off because you went against his orders and went after this guy yourself?"
Gwen didn't respond to those words. She then looks out to the distance, hearing rustling in the bushes out in the distance. Noah stood there, glaring at her.
"Uh...yeah, Rambo, you mind telling me what you hear, or see? Or whatever? Because I really want to know what the hell you're..."
Gwen places her index finger on Noah's mouth, making him silent. She points to the bushes that were out in the distance. One that was moving. One that was rustling. It didn't seem like an animal was in said bush whatsoever.
The goths suspicions came true, as a dark figure came out of the bush. The figure moved out to the middle of the road, looking around the place, before Gwen came out of the hedge she was hiding in. Noah slowly followed her out, seeing the person as well. Both were silent, not moving a single inch, as the figure was still looking around.
As it appeared to be her chance, Gwen raises the crossbow, aiming it at the figure. Closing one eye, Gwen nods her head, before muttering something to herself.
"Finally taste this arrow, you son of a bitch..." Gwen mutters.
Gwen shoots an arrow out of the crossbow, as the figure dodged the arrow before it could hit them. The figure than ran off, straight to a different part of the neighborhood.
"Come on, we can't let this bastard get away this time!" Gwen shouts, placing the crossbow into her backpack as Noah ran with her.
"Alright! But..." Noah shouts, before the goth interrupts him again.
"But nothing!" Gwen shouts, as she led the way. "It's do or die, this time! And if this asshole is going to continue surviving knowing that we'll take him on, he or she has another thing coming!"
The chase continued, until the figure finally made it to a random construction site in the town. The figure looked around, wondering if this place was abandoned or not. Thankfully, nobody was in sight for them to be stopped.
"That guys in the construction site! Come on!" Gwen shouts from behind.
Hearing the goths voice, the figure ran straight off to the spot of the construction site, where there was a crane. The figure avoided barrels, stone blocks, and discarded tools that were all over the ground. All the while, Gwen and Noah were hot on the guys trail. Still running for it, the figure continued until it was stopped by force.
Looking down, the figure realized that it's legs got stuck in cement that was still wet for some reason. Nobody was here, so how is it still wet? More questions were probably going through it's head, before Noah spoke aloud.
"We got you, right where we want you!" Noah shouts.
"Yeah!" Gwen shouts, before pulling her flashlight out of her pocket.
The goth shined her flashlight on the figure, finally wanting to know who this figure is. But when she finally shined the light on the person, the goth and other guy were surprised to see who was in front of them. It was Jo.
"What?" Gwen asked in shock. "You've been going around and killing your own friends?"
"Me?! Why the hell would I want to kill Scott and Lightning for?!" Jo asked clearly angry. "Lightning, I have a lot of reasons for, but not dirt farmer!" Noah shook his head, holding the side of his head.
"Jo is right. This doesn't add up." Noah said. "When Lightning died, she was there along with me and Emma. So it couldn't have been her doing all of this." Noah taps his chin, before looking at the goth again.
"Yeah...I think that's kind of obvious. Now can you please get me out of this cement before I'm..." Jo looks down, only to see that the cement hardened around her ankles, causing her to be stuck in place. The sporty girl groans in annoyance. "Oh, what are the fucking odds...and of course I get stuck as a result of being in here...thanks a lot, Batman and Robin. Glad to know that I'm..."
The sporty girls words were cut short, when out of nowhere, the sound of an engine was heard. Jo slowly turns her head towards the direction of the noise, only to see a bulldozer was slowly making her way towards the cement patch she was stuck in. Her eyes widened, as she tried to get out, clearly panicking.
"Oh crap, oh crap! Uh..." Jo tried to pull her legs out, but to no avail. "Don't just stand there! Help!!!" Jo screams.
"Shit!" Noah looks at the bulldozer, then noticed a metal pipe that was leaning on the nearby pile of wood. "Gwen, try to break Jo out! I got the bulldozer!"
"Alright!" Gwen shouts.
So Noah ran for the bulldozer, as Gwen tried to use the metal pipe to break Jo out of the patch she was stuck in. Gwen used all her strength to break Jo out, but then cement was too strong for her to break. Jo looks out to the bulldozer, as the scrawny boy climbed into the vehicle.
"Hurry up, I really don't like this!" Jo shouts, trying to keep herself together, as she was yanking her legs out of the cement.
Noah hops into the drivers seat of the bulldozer, trying every switch that was present. The engine appeared to ha r been sabotaged by somebody. The steering wheel also looked like it was broken too. Noah still tried his best to try to get this vehicle to stop.
"Okay. To stop this thing, the first to do is this...then...no, the real thing to do..." Noah said to himself, wondering what buttons do what, before holding onto his head in a stressful manner. "Damn it! Why didn't I bring Cameron along for this?!"
Gwen still tried her best to break Jo out. But still, nothing was working. Seeing the only chance left is to use the pipe of the bulldozer, she went for it, knowing it may or may not work.
Gwen approaches the vehicle, slamming a pipe into the engine in the back. She didn't know how this idea worked, but thankfully, it did. Once Gwen slammed the pipe into the engine, the vehicle stopped right then and there. Seeing that the bulldozer stopped, Jo sighed, feeling like she was safe.
"Ha...finally...guess that prick didn't think that plan through, now didn't he." Jo said.
But just as Jo said that remark...
From above, a huge pile of cement blocks came falling out of the sky, landing and crushing the sporty girl. The sound of Jo's short screams were heard as all the blocks smashed her, all at once. Gwen and Noah watched in horror as this happened in front of them, disturbed to see that this was the third person to die in such a horrific fashion.
"We're...we're too late to save her..." Gwen said, breathless and horrified.
"I-I can't believe this..." Noah said softly.
