Chapter 25: MGK, the Hollywood Whore part 2
"This is it," said Noel. The group stood at the edge of the abandoned mine, "wow, I never knew this was here," Jolyne said, "how long has it been abandoned?" "Long before I was born," replied Noel, "I used to go and explore here when I was younger, it's pretty big, so try not to get lost." As Noel led the group down to the entrance, Bronny nudged her on the shoulder, "if this really is the guy who killed your sister, don't go and so something brash, this is our only shot at this." Noel rolled her eyes, "trust me, I understand," she said, "worry about your ass, not mine." Unknown to them, MGK had been tailing them from the plaza. The Hooded man had given him a tip on their plan, and he had been slowly stalking them in his car. He stood, parked above the mine, he peered at the kids, specifically Bronny and Jolyne. "I do wonder what this kid could possess that is so important?" He said, "I guess it's none of my business anyway, my only job is to kill those other kids, ugh, I hate not knowing the backstory to a case, it makes it so much more interesting." MGK exited from the car and began to descend to the cave, a faint red and yellow figure slowly following behind him.
The group continued into the mine, "don't know about you guys, but this place is creepy," Jolyne said, "yeah, its abandoned, it's not like people are decorating this place," replied Rae, "gosh you're an airhead." "W-what the fuck you just say!?" Jolyne snapped, "can it," Joshua said, "you both can fight later, Noel, what's the best place we can trap this guy?" Noel rubbed her chin, "if we move deeper, there's a inter pass, once we led him in, he will be stuck between a rock and a hard place, literally." A loud clang stopped the group in their tracks, "what was that?" Bronny asked. There was no one else in the mine with them, and that clang was from far away, "something isn't right," Joshua said, "I thought you said this place was abandoned Noel." "Yeah," replied Noel, "it should be…" Bronny's body became tense, they weren't alone in the mine, and whatever was in there, wasn't good. "You don't think," Bronny began, "that this could be MGK?" "It could be," replied Rae, "but I'm not one to sit around and find out." Rae sprinted away from the group and rushed towards where she heard the noise, "Rae, wait!" Bronny yelled, but she was already gone. Bronny grumbled, he couldn't let her go on by herself, "shit," he said under his breath, " wait up Rae!" "Wait Bronny," said Joshua, "we shouldn't split up like this." "I can't just let her go," replied Bronny, "you guys go on ahead, I'll catch up." Bronny ran after Rae, leaving the rest of the group alone.
MGK walked slowly through the mine, he had never seen anything like it. "Now, where could you kids be?" He said, he was focused on his task at hand, nothing would stop him, certainly not a bunch of kids. In the distance, Rae watched him through the small quarry, "gotcha," she said, "I won't let you hurt my new friends." As she began to stand, a hand placed itself on her shoulder, she squealed and quickly launched her fist at the person. Her fist connected, right into Bronny's crotch. Bronny doubled over, clutching his groin, "goddamn it Rae," he muttered. "Huh?" Bronny and Rae froze, quickly ducking behind a wall of rocks, MGK aimed his gun towards them and shot. Bronny held Rae close to him, protecting her from any debris. "Guess is was nothing," MGK said, he put his gun away and continued walking. Bronny slowly peaked his head from behind his cover, "coast is clear," he said. Rae sighed in relief, "that was close," she muttered, "I'm sorry about the punch, I thought you might have been-" Before she could finish, Bronny flicked her forehead, causing her to wince in pain. "Now we're even," Bronny replied, "you shouldn't have run off in the first place, come on let's go." Rae pouted at Bronny, "well maybe if you didn't sneak up on me, this wouldn't have happened." Rae followed Bronny, as she did, she could hear a faint whirring noise from behind them. She turned, only to see a red and yellow arm protruding from behind the rocks. Before she could react, the arm flicked the bullets previously shot at them towards Rae. One of the bullets struck Rae through her shoulder, sending her sprawling to the floor.
"Rae!" Bronny yelled, one of the bullets grazed Bronny's check, causing him to stumble backwards. "S-Shit!" He said, he quickly summoned his Stand and hit the other bullet away from him. The arm flicked the discarded bullet upwards, sending it into some rocks and it ricocheted into Bronny's stomach. Bronny spat out blood and clutched his wound, blood seeping from it. He could hear footsteps quickly nearing them, Bronny tried to get up, but Rae's hand stopped him. "Stay down," she whispered, "I-I'll handle this…" Bronny nodded and laid down. MGK entered the room, he saw Bronny and Rae lying on the floor, motionless. "Bingo," he said, he walked towards them, he looked down at Bronny's body, Bronny was doing his best to make it look like he wasn't breathing, but it was hard. "This must be the kid my client wanted me to keep alive," MGK muttered. "Keep alive?" Bronny thought to himself, "why would he want to keep me alive?" MGK reloaded his gun and aimed it at Bronny's head, "I don't know why, but I don't care, I was paid to kill you, and that's what I am going to do!"
Before he could pull the trigger of his gun, a glob of liquid splashed onto his leg. "The hell?" MGK said, he touched the liquid on his pants and smelt it, "what is this, paint?" Before he could react, a burning sensation entered his eyes, it was if they were on fire. "I-I can't see!" He yelled, Rae got up quickly and grabbed Bronny's hand, "come on!" She yelled. MGK could hear the two, but he couldn't see them, "Fuck!" He screamed, "Hollywood Whore!" MGK's Stand emerged, it was a red and yellow figure, white lines ran up and around the figure, resembling a stripper's outfit. The figure lunged towards Bronny and Rae, trying to grab them. "Not so fast!" Rae yelled, she reached into her pockets and pulled out a paint brush and threw blue paint at Hollywood Whore's feet. The Stand began to slow, coming to a complete stop, "h-how did you…" Bronny began. Rae tugged on his arm, "no time, we have to get to the others!" Rae and Bronny left the scene quickly before MGK could regain his sight. "God damn it," he muttered, "those fucking brats got away, I'll kill em, I swear I'll kill em!"
