'You just missed them.' We're told by a blonde-haired operator. 'Police were here waiting for them, took them in the second they arrived. One of the guys here tipped them off hours ago. We were told to look out for anything by this lawyer guy that came snooping around a few weeks ago. Second they called up for that plane, the police knew.'

I almost want to laugh.

Of course.

Charlie would have expected this.

This is his favorite part.

Closing of all exits.

Finalizing the kill.

'So…now where?' Alice asks me, linking our fingers together and squeezing.

'I don't know.' I say helplessly. 'What do I even do?'

My friend's faces mirror mine.

What now?

'I think…go home, and just wait.' Jasper offers, placing a hand on my back. 'I don't know what else you can do. Unless you want to show up at the Police Station.'

I blanche, 'Charlie will probably be there.'

'So? Fuck him.' Emmett shrugs. 'He doesn't care about you, why should you-'

'Em…that was blunt.' Rose criticizes.

The words fly from my mouth before I even realise I've said them, 'Let's go to the Police Station then.'

'Fuck, seriously?' Alice asks, wide eyed.

I nod, my own eyes just as wide as hers.

I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

I just know I have to see him.

Now.
