Back with Noah, Cody, Emma, and Kitty...
They were still walking through the neighborhood, trying to find whoever it was doing this to Duncan and his friends. So far, nobody seemed to be lurking around the streets tonight, nor did Chris or any of the cops appear to be around the streets either. It seems like this whole attempt at trying to keep Duncan and his friends safe was going to be pretty easy for them.
The four were passing by the same abandoned gas station that Gwen was at before, seeing that it was, still empty. Emma walked up to the window, looking inside, seeing that there wasn't anything inside the place. Not a single movement was seen inside the small building.
"So...why did we come here?" Cody asked. "I don't see anyone in there that we need, or anything for that matter. Unless one of us wants a Snickers bar." Noah looks over to Cody, shaking his head.
"Now's not the time for candy." Noah said. "Besides, we're out to find this psycho, remember?"
"I know. But I was wondering why we even came to this place, if there's nothing that we really need in there." It was at that point, Emma noticed something in the reflection. She gets her bow and arrow ready, then kneels down, turning around, looking out to the street. "Emma, what is it?"
"Look across the street." Emma said. "The spot we crossed the street from."
Noah, Cody, and Kitty looked over to the corner of the street, seeing there they were, the same person who's been going after Duncan's friends. Whoever it was, he or she was just standing there, staring directly at them. Nobody moved a single inch, seeing that all of stunned on what to do in this situation. Emma scoots herself a little closer to the spot where the figure was.
"If I were you, I'd give up!" Emma shouts to the guy. "I have the bow and arrow, while you have a crowbar! If you want to try to sort this out peacefully, than try to say something now, before you leave us no other choice!"
The figure didn't do anything after they heard Emma shout that. All the person did after hearing that was pull out their own crowbar, still keeping that intimidating stare at them, across the street. Noah and Cody got ready to use their baseball bats, in case something happens, while Kitty stood there, keeping the flashlight on the guy.
"Why are they not moving?" Noah whispers to Cody.
"Maybe they're intimidated by us now. This guy was when you, Gwen, and Duncan were at Courtney's house." Cody whispers back to his best friend.
"Yeah well...Duncan was with us, and by the looks of the situation back there, it didn't seem like they even had a weapon at all when me, Duncan, and Gwen came to Courtney's rescue." Noah rubs his chin, finding that a little weird. "Now that's a little strange...I wonder why they didn't bring their weapon that time..." Emma whispers something to herself, while keeping an eye focused on the figure across the street.
"Seems like whoever this is, isn't completely a threat." Emma whispers.
While it seems like nothing was going to happen between either one of the five in this situation, the sound of police sirens came from nearby. Noah, Cody, Emma, and Kitty looked over towards the direction of the siren noises, as the figure quickly ran off from the sound of the police sirens. It seems like he was saved by the sound of a police siren.
Feeling like they'd be the ones mistaken for whoever's doing all of this, the four went behind a nearby wall that kept them hidden away from the police. Noah kept his head out from behind the wall, seeing what's going on. When he did so, he was shocked to notice that Izzy was somebody who was looking out the window, still wearing that police hat and sunglasses.
"Any sign of that punk?" MacArthur shouts from inside the police car.
"Nope! It seems like we're all good in this spot!" Izzy shouts, before pointing forward. "Drive onto the next part of the neighborhood!" The police car drives off, as Noah stood up from behind the wall.
"What the hell?! Izzy is now helping the police on this one?!" Noah asked. "So they can get pissed when Gwen tries to be a hero, but they are allowing Izzy to help out one of their cops? Hypocrites..." Cody stood up.
"Tell me about it!" Cody said, bothered. "We have got to warn Gwen about this, like, right now!"
"Agreed. I'm calling her now." Noah pulls out his walker-talkie, ready to give Gwen a call on it.
Back with Gwen...
The goth looked down one of the corners of the street, wondering where this killer even was right now. Trent, Geoff, and Shawn finally arrived, walking up to the girl as she was looking behind the fence. Suddenly, all of them started to hear Cody's voice coming from the walkie-talkie.
"Gwen...Gwen, are you there?" Cody asked. Gwen took the walkie-talkie out of her pocket, then held it near her mouth.
"Right here, Cody." Gwen said, looking around the neighborhood. "Did you and your friends found the guy yet?"
"That too, but before I bring that up, I really need to say something important...because me and my friends say Izzy along the way. But...the issue there is that she's helping MacArthur out during a police search around town." Gwen's eyes widened hearing that being said to her. She was seriously going to have a huge word with Izzy for doing something like this. "She was also the reason why the killer got away from us when we had him in our sights."
"Son of a bitch..." Gwen mutters, before looking down at the walkie-talkie again. "I'm going to seriously lose my shit with Izzy when I see her again for scaring him or her off like that. Be careful out there still, Cody."
"Be careful too, Gwen."
After the call ended, Gwen turns her attention to the two boys, placing her crossbow into her backpack. "Okay...it turns out, Izzy is pretty much helping the police out while we're out here, so if we hear police sirens, we're going to have to hide." Gwen said to the three boys that she was with. "Geoff, why the police don't want me out here...I'll tell you when all of us survive this, okay? Right now, it's just a very bad time to talk about any of this." Geoff nods his head, silently, as Gwen turns around. "Well...let's continue, I guess."
The four of them continued to walk, until Trent looks up at the sky, seeing the clouds. He saw a bit of lightning in the distance, showing him that the rain was almost in their town. He sighed, before he walked up next to Gwen and Shawn who were walking together.
"So...uh...where's Alejandro's house anyway?" Trent asked his girlfriend. "I don't think you ever mentioned where he lived around this part of the neighborhood." Gwen looks over to Shawn, as the guy spoke.
"I live across the street from Alejandro." Shawn said, looking behind himself. "He and I don't really talk at all, but I do see him walking out of his house to collect the mail time to time. But we never talk." The man with the beanie looks forward. "I know where his house is in this neighborhood. So if we go around this corner, we should be able to arrive at his house."
"Looks like we didn't need to walk too far, huh?" Geoff asked his three other friends.
"Not really." Shawn said, as he passes the corner.
The four walked up to Alejandro's house, looking over to said person's house. The lights appeared to be off, and the front door appeared to be open. They didn't hear anything inside of the house when they were on the man's lawn, so they knew something wasn't right.
The four had a very, very bad feeling upon this sight. Gwen and Shawn got their crossbows ready, while Geoff got his baseball bat ready. Trent looks behind himself, then looks at the three friends he was with.
"Hey. Somebody's got to watch out for whoever this psycho is." Trent said to the three of his friends. "It might sound like I'm being a coward, but trust me...I am going to try to keep my eyes out for this guy out on the front step so that you guys are safe." Gwen stared at her boyfriend, finding this idea, completely a bad idea. But before she could tell Trent to change his mind, Geoff was actually the one who ended up telling him that this wasn't reasonable an idea.
"Wait, are you serious? You could die out here, man!" Geoff said.
"I-I know. But if you guys shout for me, I'll make sure that I'll come to save you guys." Trent held up the baseball bat he had in his hands. "Trust me guys. I already have something to protect myself with in case I am in any danger." Geoff then looks over to Gwen, unsure about this idea, just as much as she does, but then sighed, shaking his friends hand.
"Then good luck, man. I hope that you don't end up dying out here."
"I won't, man. Don't worry, man."
"Jesus...I swear, I'm going to just be sick if I hear you guys say 'man' one more time." Gwen said, rolling her eyes.
"Can we go into the house so that we can see if Alejandro is safe or dead?" Shawn asked, glaring at the three of the group who were standing outside of the house. Gwen and Geoff looked over to the man who knows a lot about zombie apocalypse. "So far, I am looking inside, and...the house doesn't look like it's been wrecked. Not by the looks of it."
"Well...if that's the case, then alright." Geoff said, nodding his head. "Be safe out here, Trent."
"I will, and Gwen..." Trent walks up to his girlfriend, kissing her on the lips. Trent backs off of her, then patted her on the arm. "Be safe in there." Gwen nods her head, as she backed up from him.
"I-I will, Trent. Be safe out here." Gwen said, before following into the house along with Geoff and Shawn, in hopes of trying to see if Alejandro was safe or not. Trent took a deep breath, before turning over to the direction of the street, keeping the baseball bat close to himself.
