Zack and Jess looked around, a lot of furniture was broken than they saw Iris on the ground and Alec's foot on her throat.
Zack let go of Jess, he stumbled over to Iris and shoved Alec's foot out of the way. She was still crying. "Iris.."
Suddenly everything seemed very gloomy and sad, Max and Alec weren't smiling anymore. Jess was sitting on the floor, he had Iris's head on his knees and was stroking her hair. She wasn't hurt that badly, in comparison to a real combat. Everyone was surprised, they've been seeing Iris as a psycho (which she is) but right now she seemed so vulnerable, so innocent like a little child who fell of her bike.
Zack picked up the door and put it in its rightful place, he walked over to Jess after picking up a pillow, and gave it to him without saying a word. Jess took the pillow and put it under Iris's head, she wasn't crying anymore, it sounded more like sobbing right now.
"Iris? Are you okay?" Jess asked with a whispering voice.
She just nodded and gave him a little smile.
Zack moseyed on over to Alec and Max "hey, you two okay?"
"Yeah, we're okay" they both replied "Where's Vic?" Max asked
"Oh, shit I forgot!" Zack flipped open him cell phone and dialed a number "Hey, you found him?"
On the other side of the line "Yeah, he's banged up pretty bad. I'll take him to a doctor."
"Wait, you can't.."
"Yeah, I know, don't worry the doc's cool, he's helped me out before."
"Okay, thanks and keep me posted on his stats." Zack hung up.
"Who was that?" Alec asked
"I called a friend to check on Vic, he'll be okay."
Jess and Iris were still on the floor "don't leave me Jess." Iris finally spoke
"I won't. Never."
"Please get me out of here, we can disappear together, please." she pleaded
Zack, Max and Alec were still talking, so Jess whispered to Iris "I can't they'll see and they'll stop us."
Tears started to come out of Iris's eyes again "I can't stay here."
Jess looked over his shoulder "Okay, just gimme a minute to create a diversion."
Jess stood up and walked over to the gang and tapped Zack on the shoulder, they all stopped talking "listen, can you guys leave me and Iris alone for a sec? I have to."
Zack nodded, he understood.
"Wait, what? Why?" Max asked
"Yeah, why? She'll try to kill us as soon as we turn our backs." Alec commented
"Just come with me, I'll explain in a minute." Zack replied as he gave Jess a 'go ahead' sign.
They walked into Max's room.
Meanwhile Jess helped Iris up as they were getting ready to get the hell outta there. Jess took a quick look to see if the others really left the room, just to be safe.
Max and Alec started to bicker with Zack, they didn't agree with his decision to leave them alone. They couldn't believe that their 'great leader, their c.o." would turn his back towards the enemy.
Jess and Iris took off, they hardly made any noise. When they got outside, they looked around to see if they could find some wheels. Jess pointed at the convertible, the one Zack boosted. Iris nodded with a smile.
Max jumped up, she heard a motor start. The three of them hurried into the living room to find Jess and Iris gone. Zack took a peek out of the window as he noticed that someone took 'his' car.
"Oh man! I told you they'd leave!" Max said
"Shit, they won't get far!" Alec leaped towards the door.
"No wait!" Zack ordered, he called his friend and told him to put Vic on the phone.
"Yeah" Vic moaned, he was still in pain, he never realized his sister was that strong.
"Hey, it's Zack, Jess's friend, look they took off, any idea where they might go?"
Max was complaining on the background, they could've gotten them back if Zack would've just let them go.
"Shut up for a sec!" Zack yelled
"What?" Vic replied
"Not you, never mind."
"Whatever, look I don't know, they'll probably skip town but they might be at some 'high place' or something, Iris said she heard Ben talk about a 'high place' once, when she walked past his room."
"high place? Thanks" he ended the call "Listen, Vic said something about a 'high place' you think he means the space needle?"
"Yeah, let's go!" Max replied
SPACE NEEDLE
Jess and Iris were on top the space needle, staring into the night.
"What are we doing here Iris?" Jess asked
Iris had her eyes closed as she let the wind blow through her hair. "I'm tired Jess, you and Vic were right I can't keep trying to find Ben, he's gone, I guess it never really got through to me."
"So why are we here?" he asked again
"Ben once said something about a 'high place' and this is the highest building here."
Meanwhile Zack, Alec and Max were running up the stairs in the needle.
"So, what about this 'high place'? Why was he talking about this?"
"I don't know, but this is where I want to be right now, this is where I want my life to end." Iris said
"What? I thought we were gonna disappear together."
Iris turned her head and looked at Jess "We are, we'll jump off together, look you tried to save me by brainwashing me but that didn't work the last time. There's no guarantee I won't snap and kill again. Max is right, I can't do this. I'm asking you to jump with me, you don't have to I just thought I'd ask anyway."
"Iris, I don't know if I can. I don't know if I'm ready to do this with you."
"It's okay, you probably have a life somewhere, I understand."
"No, I don't, not really." Silence struck for a minute "okay, I'll jump with you, at least we'll be together, that's all I ever wanted." He grabbed her hand as they walked towards the edge. They looked at each other and shared one last kiss. They were ready to jump now.
"NO, WAIT!!!" Max yelled.
They both turned around to see Max, Alec and Zack standing just a few feet away from them.
