Chapter 14: See me. Hear me. Avenge me.

I stood on the back patio of my house, watching the sunset over the water, the sky was a fiery orange color, it was beautiful. I heard the door slide open them close behind me, my mom stood next to me, "Sara, we need to talk..." She said,

"About school? Look mom I'm not interested in talking about it."

"Sara, you know I'm not allowing you to become truant."

"I know mom... I'm just not ready to go yet, give me like... Two more days and I promise I'll go back."

She sighed, "Okay Sara, fine." I turned and went back in the house.

I took a bowl of chips up to my room on the way back upstairs. For some reason my room seemed more empty than normal, even with the mess on the floor. It made me feel bad that things weren't going to be the same, no matter how many wrongs that we make right, Carlos would always be gone. I hung my hoodie on the mirror, "Sara..." I heard a voice say.

I looked up and I saw him, "Carlos...?" He was there, looking over my shoulder, looking at me. I turned around but no one was there, I looked back at the mirror, it was just me, "What the fuck...?" I kept looking over my shoulder, "I need to lay off the pain meds..." I said as I sat down on my bed.

"Sara... Sara!" Someone shouted, I woke up,

"What?" I flicked on the bedside lamp. Nobody was in the room, it was just me, I grabbed my phone off of the nightstand and dialed a number, it rang a few times,

"Sara, do you know what fucking time it is?" Johnny asked,

"I have a question for you."

"What is it Sara?" He sighed,

"Since Aisha has been gone have you been seeing her or like... Hearing her?"

There was a pause, "Sara, what the fuck are you talking about?"

"It's him Johnny, Carlos. I can hear him and I'm pretty sure that I saw him yesterday like, in my mirror, Johnny he was standing right behind me!" There was another pause before Johnny sighed,

"Look Sara you just miss him is all, you're probably still trying to get over it." I rolled my eyes, "Maybe you should see a therapist."

"What?! Fuck you Johnny I'm not crazy."

"I wasn't saying that you're crazy, you just need to talk your problems out to someone who is able to get you the help that you need."

"Fuck you." I said before hanging up my phone and tossing it to the other side of the room.

The rest of the night passed with me getting very minimal sleep, I couldn't stop thinking about him, it was driving me literally insane. I got out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen, my mom wasn't awake yet so I tiptoed over to the pantry for some food. As I was sitting on the couch someone spoke, "Sara, what are you doing?" I looked from the TV over to my right.

Carlos was sitting next to me, looking like he'd never left, "I'm eating breakfast..." I said through a mouthful of cereal,

"You know Maero is still out there, and the Saints are sitting around doing nothing in the meantime."

"That's not true, we took their shipment."

"Sara, you can't let him get away, avenge my death."

"He's not gonna get away Carlos... I won't let him."

"Then what are you going to do?"

I stood up, "I'm through sitting around, we know where he hides and we have his weapons, I think our best course of action is to get that asshole!"

"Sara... Who are you talking to sweetie?" I looked over and saw my mom in the doorway, she had a look of concern on her face,

"Uhm..." I looked back at the empty couch, "No one... I'm just uh, psyching myself up to get ready to go back to school."

"Well could you do it a little more quietly? I'm trying to sleep."

"Sorry mom." I watched as she went back upstairs. I waited until her door was closed before speaking again, "Alright, we need a plan." I turned towards Carlos, "I have to talk to Boss." I grabbed my phone,

"What are you and Boss gonna do?"

"Get the other Saints and go after Maero?"

"That doesn't sound like a plan."

"Carlos, it's going to be okay, it's totally a plan."

"Hello?" Boss answered,

"Hey, Boss, no time to talk. Are we a go on the Brotherhood?"

"No, I mean, we can be, we have the firepower to make our move."

"Good, I'll be there in a few."

I walked into the hideout where the other lieutenants were admiring the guns that the Boss and I commandeered from the shipment. Boss handed me the AK I was using on the ship, "You ready for this?" He asked,

"You know it."

He turned towards the others, "I'm glad y'all seem to like the new hardware the Brotherhood decided to hook us up with." The lieutenants chuckled, "Ya know, up until this point we've been toying with Maero... Kill his bitch here, steal his money there... But I'm through playin. We know where he lives, we have his guns, and I say it's time we take that motherfucker out, whatchu think?" The group of lieutenants cheered.

Boss looked at me, "Let's roll." I said, as we all headed out.

We drove down towards the Brotherhood hideout, "How are we going to get Maero to come out of his hiding spot?" I asked as I turned the corner,

"I assume if we killed enough of those assholes then he's sure to come out."

"I already killed a bunch of them."

"What, you've had your fill of killing?"

"No, they've all got to go, and then maybe I'll be happy... maybe." I turned another corner.

We pulled up to the hideout, "Let's do this people." Boss said as we got out of the cars. I shot the lieutenant on the roof of the building opposite of us,

"I bet Maero is hiding in that building." Carlos said from behind me,

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked as I shot a guy approaching me,

"Helping you, look out!"

I dove out of the way as a Brotherhood truck nearly ran me over, "Mother fuckers!" I shot the four lieutenants as they got out of the truck,

"This way." Carlos said, leading me towards the warehouse,

"I know, I know!" I made my way to the warehouse.

I shot some lieutenants in my way to the warehouse, "Behind you." Carlos said, I turned around and shot the guys behind me,

"You know, I don't need your help."

"What, you want me to go away?" He asked,

"No... I need the company."

"Then why did you say you didn't need my help?"

"Because I don't know!" I shot another guy. I looked up and noticed Boss was giving me a look, "What?" I asked,

"Are you... Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I think Maero is probably in the warehouse."

"Let's go."

We ran into the warehouse, "MAERO!" I yelled as I gunned down the lieutenants on the main floor. Boss kicked down the door to the stairwell, we ran up the stairs to the third floor where we were greeted by some other Saints lieutenants killing the Brotherhood,

"Boss, Maero ran to the roof." A lieutenant called to us,

"Come on, this way!" I said, leading Boss to the other stairwell. We went up to the next floor where more lieutenants were taking out Brotherhood, "We have to hurry to get to the roof." I said as we ran through the rooms to the next stairwell.

We were on the fifth floor now, "The roof is the next floor up." I said,

"Sara, you need to stay here with the others, I'll go confront Maero." Boss said.

I wanted to argue with Boss, but something was holding back, "Stay with the others Sara..." Carlos said, "You'll get yourself killed if you fight him."

"Okay... I'll stay." I finalized, "Get that son of a bitch."

"Alright guys, I'm leaving Sara in charge, I'm going after Maero." He left to go to the roof,

"C'mon guys, we've got to stop the Brotherhood so they can't get to Boss." I said as I shot at a group of Brotherhood. Above I could hear intense gunfire, "Alright, lets push these Brotherhood back down to the ground floor." We pushed them back down the staircases back down to the ground floor, "Keep it up Saints!" I yelled over the gunfire.

From behind me I heard a crash, "What the fuck was that?" Josie asked,

"I don't know." We turned around in time to see Maero bust through the door. He was holding his neck like he had been injured, "You..." I growled, my body suddenly filling with so much anger and hatred, "You!"

"Sara, you look like shit." He chuckled,

"I'll show you what shit looks like you mother fucker!" I aimed my gun at him, but I was too angry that my accuracy was way off, and instead of shooting him in the head like I wanted to, I got him in the arm.

Behind me I heard a truck pull up, "There's my ride." He ran at us, pushing Josie and I to the ground. I rolled over and grabbed my gun off of the ground, I shot out the tire of the truck, but the driver sped away flawlessly.

Boss ran up to me, "You okay?" I grunted,

"No. That mother fucker got away."

He helped me up, "He couldn't have gotten too far."

I sighed, "Lets just get back to the hideout."

I paced back and forth in the hideout as the others sat lazily about, "I cant believe that asshole got away!" I exclaimed, "He was there, and I could have got him, and I didn't!"

"I think you're taking it too hard Sara." Shaundi said as she took a puff from a cigar and passed it onto Pierce,

"Yeah, well I think you're high and that your opinion don't mean shit."

"Geez, calm down girl. You can't be taking your anger out on everyone."

"I can and I will." I turned away from them,

"Sara, the Boss needs your help." Carlos said,

"What do you mean?" My phone rang, I looked at Carlos, then back at my phone, "What's up Boss?"

"Sara, listen to this." Boss said.

I waited for a second, 'Get your ass to the Ultor Dome... This ends now.' Maero's voice said, I could feel my blood boil within me, "Boss, you're not thinking about facing him alone, it would be suicide."

"I know, but just get here and help me finish the job." I looked up at Carlos who gave me a small nod, "You got it Boss, just keep him alive long enough for me to get there." I said, hanging up my phone,

"Where are you going?" Shaundi asked,

"I'm taking care of business." I said, leaving the hideout.

I couldn't believe it, this was it, my moment to kill that dick for everything he had done, all the pain he caused me was about to be his pain. I dreamt of how I would do it, it had to be me, not Boss, who would kill Maero. Should it be quick? No, he didn't make it quick for Carlos so why should I do it for him. Maero deserved to suffer, taking everything away from him was just the cherry on the top of this revenge sundae, and you know what they say, revenge is a dish best served cold. I made a stop at home before I went to the stadium, I knew how I wanted to torture.

I ran into the house where my mom was sitting on the living room couch, "Sara, what's wrong?" She asked,

"Nothing... I'm just looking for something." I said as I rummaged through the junk drawer, "Ugh... Where is it?" I shoved around the miscellaneous batteries and other things,

"What are you looking for?" My mom asked from behind me,

"I'm looking for a lighter, Jazz is having a bonfire tonight and she doesn't have a lighter." I lied,

"Here." My mom grabbed one from off of the top of the fridge,

"When did you move them up there?"

"I moved them when you started in the gang and I didn't want you to commit arson."

"Thanks Mom... Thanks a lot." I pocketed the lighter, "I'll be back later okay?"

"Be careful okay?"

"I will mom." I gave her a hug before leaving.

My phone rang as I was almost to the stadium, "Sara, where are you?" Boss asked,

"Almost there, why?"

"I think he's as good as dead."

I heard an explosion, "Keep him suffering, I'll be there." I hung up the phone. I pulled into the parking lot of the stadium, "Alright, the time is now..." I said to myself, "Now or never." I looked over at Carlos in the passenger seat, "I'm fucking nervous."

"Don't be, just remember what he did to us... What he did to me."

I nodded, "You're right."

"Take a deep breath, and go help Boss." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

When I opened my eyes Carlos was gone, "Alright, I'm on my own now." I got out of the car and entered the stadium.

I pulled up my hoodie and looked around, it was dark around the concession stands and ticket booth, "Gotta get to the Ultor dome." I headed in the direction of the explosions, but they stopped before I got there. Inside the arena there were dead bodies and burning monster trucks everywhere, Boss was had really been busy today. What caught my attention was the commotion in the center of the arena, I saw Boss standing over by a burning truck and a figure was crawling out of the wreckage, I approached them as Boss pistol whipped Maero. He was on the ground, and I could smell something in the air, gasoline, and it was spilled everywhere, around Maero. I looked down on him, Boss had him pinned down, "Pathetic." I said, "A man who thought he had it all, ended up really having nothing."

Are you seriously monologuing?"

"Yes, it's my moment of triumph, my moment where I can get revenge for the pain you caused me. I've waited for this moment for too long, I dreamed of the day that you would lay at my feet and beg for me to have mercy on you, to spare your life-"

"Please, just kill me now and end my suffering."

I kicked him in the head, "Shut up, your suffering is the only thing I've been imagining for a while. Thinking of just making you feel the pain that I've been feeling this whole time, to make you feel what Carlos felt, it's all I've been dreaming of."

"You killing me wont bring him back bitch."

"No, you're right, but it's worth the satisfaction." I lit the lighter, "Goodbye Maero." I smirked as I flicked it into the puddle of gasoline, instantly lighting everything on fire, including Maero. He screamed and writhed around as he burned, is this what satisfaction felt like? Yes, I'm pretty sure it was, I turned and started to leave the arena,

"Sara." Boss caught up to me,

"You know, I thought that getting back at him would make me feel better."

"Did it?"

"A little bit, I wonder if this is what Johnny felt like when he killed Shogo."

"Probably."

Even though he's gone, I think I've finally found peace with losing Carlos."

"That's good."

"Yeah, I think so too." I said as we left the arena.
