David had brought them to a gun shot. Of course he hadn't thought about the cage around the glass or the alarm going off when he tried to break in. Ann thought they should have waited on the cops but all of them took off her brother included dragging her with him.

She was getting pretty pissed.

Now they hunkered in an old school that had long since been abandoned and didn't even have a roof to cover them. They hunkered down in an old class room and began to frantically plan.

Brian, Daniel, and David were all talking quickly about one thing. Weapons. Ann glanced at Brian still smeared in blood and shuddered. Had they asked her she would have suggested going to a busy spot with WI FI and looking up how to deal with most other people she had known it for what it was as soon as it had pinned her with it's gaze. She deduced while the guys frantically hashed out plan after ridiculous plan that they must have stolen gold.

She pulled out the half of gold collar that her brother has shoved at her and looked at it. It was gold that much she could see. It also had ancient script on it and was beautifully enscripted with welsh symbols and knots.
" What is this? This is what he's after you dumb asses! What did you do? "

The three men went silent then David glared at her " None of your business bitch! Shut her up Daniel or I'll knock her teeth loose so help...me..."

David trailed off eyes wide. There was a pigsticker at his throat. The green eyes that glared at him blazed with outrage. She gritted her teeth and ground out;

" Listen you greasy dumb asshole I'm not gonna die for you but believe me if I can make a deal with the Leprechaun by slitting your throat and killing you to save him the trouble I want you to know.." She let the blade dig in hard enough to actually draw blood " I will do it. You're a dead man. Fuck all three of you are dead men just think about what we saw a moment. You fucking crack heads don't seem to know your asses from a hole in the ground and I intend to live so I don't give a fuck who but one of you is going to tell me what you did so I can get out of this night alive. Other wise you're slowing me down whining about a gun that didn't even stop him which means your super plan of more ammunition is as stupid as you are!"

David growled warningly but Daniel quickly spoke up realizing that if they were to survive they all needed to be on the same page.

He told her about the woman with the collar. The rape the realization that she had been pregnant and the fact David had gone back and found her body gone.

Brian was trembling. " I want to go home. Why can't I just go home? I don't deserve this shit..."

David pulled out the other piece of the collar and Ann took it holding them together. " We need someplace with WI FI and a lot of people."

Daniel glanced around " What about the mall? It's usually packed by this time and they have Wi Fi everywhere."

Ann nodded stuffing the two pieces of the collar in the large pockets of her smock.

" Hey!" David said angrily "Give that back!"

Ann eyes him coolly ' Yea great idea why not carry both of them so he can find you faster and kill you? He's got some kind of spell on this gold asshole or do you think he's throwing darts at a map to find us? "

" If you don't think I'm not keeping a mental list of all your bullshit..." Suddenly Ann jerked forward slapping a hand over his mouth. David cringed hearing whistling. It might have been a vagrant but they didn't stick around to find out. They took off.

Before Ann left she laid out one of the gold pieces hoping that for their sake the Leprechaun would be in a better mood if he had almost all of his gold back. Despite their head start she easily caught up and then passed the three men all of them racing for the mall and the hope that there was safety in numbers.

A moment later the Leprechaun stepped into the room. The gold piece just laying there made him suspicious and he glanced around. There was no where for them to hide though and they still had one piece of his gold left.

" Mayhap a peace offering yet the lads seem as stupid as bricks, I'd best be careful this is more like a lass's trick!"

Yet he picked up the piece and called his pot to him where he added it to his other gold. He paused after it was gone and tipped his head back slightly until he felt the pull of the last piece of the collar.

" Soon my love soon I vow by the wee folk I'll have what's mine before the setting of this moon!"

He snapped his fingers and disappeared.
