Friends that Scream chapter nine

Mark and Nate were whispering to each other a few feet away from the gang.

Mark had warned them earlier that her had a gun and if any of them tried to be the hero, either Monica or that person was dead.

"We need to get rid of everyone except Phoebe and Sidney." Mark whispered to Nate.

We can tie Rachel and Gale up in the bathroom. The guys are probably too strong and heavy for us to drag them into the bathroom, though. We'll either have to kill them or knock 'em out." Nate whispered back.

Mark handed Nate a gun. "I'll get Gale first. She'll be hard, but I think I can manage." Mark grabbed some rope from a drawer behind the counter and grabbed Gale's arm.

Gale yelled out in pain at his tight grip.

"Get off her!" Dewey yelled at Mark.

"Dewey," Nate said. Dewey turned to look at Nate and saw him pointing the gun at Gale. "If you don't shut up, I'll kill her."

Dewey just watched sadly as Mark took her into the bathroom. Gale was wriggling around, but Mark had a good grip on her.

Mark came back from the bathroom and then went to grab Rachel's arm.

"No, please!" Rachel yelled starting to cry.

"Don't touch her!" Ross yelled trying to grab Rachel's arm back.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Nate said. Ross ignored the warning and took a punch at Mark. Not soon after Mark was punched, Nate fired the gun at Ross. Ross fell the floor with a thud. Mark continued to pull Rachel to the bathroom.

Rachel saw Gale in there tied to a bathroom stall. Mark tied Rachel to the one next to it.

When Mark came out of the bathroom he noticed Dewey facing the other direction. This was an opportunity. He pulled out his knife and stabbed Dewey in the back. Dewey's cries were heard throughout Central Perk.

Gale heard in the bathroom and started crying her eyes out. She hoped he was okay.

"Are you okay?" Rachel asked Gale through her own tears. Luckily Mark hadn't gagged them, so they could still talk.

"I'll be fine if Dewey is okay."

"Hey," Rachel said coming up with an idea and moving around in her ropes a little. It hurt, but she knew that what she was about to do could save their lives. "I have an idea."

At the sound of Dewey screaming, everyone turned to look at him. Mark pulled his knife out of Dewey. Now he only had two more to get rid of before the showdown with Phoebe and Sidney.

Monica would be easy; she was tied to a chair, an easy target. Mark took the gun from Nate and pointed it at Monica.

"No!" Chandler screamed running towards Mark.

Mark hit Chandler on the head with the gun and threw him against a wall.

"Chandler!" Monica screamed sobbing.

"Now," Mark said forgetting about Monica for a moment. "Now, I will kill you two with my bare hands. I want the satisfaction that I killed you without using any weapons." Mark said tossing his gun to Nate. "You two ruined my brothers life. You killed him. Now you deserve to die!" Mark dove at Sidney.

Sidney ran behind the counter and picked up a coffee mug. She threw it at Mark's head. It shattered as it crashed into him. She continued to throw mugs at him until she ran out.

She started to run again with Mark right on her tail. He managed to grab her leg, which made her fall down and hit her head on the coffee table, knocking her out.

Next Mark went after Phoebe. Monica screamed the whole time he was chasing Phoebe. Nate had to shut her up by tying a cloth around her mouth.

Mark managed to grab Phoebe and grabbed her throat. He squeezed her neck harder. Phoebe's face started to turn purple. Monica's eyes were wide with horror tears spilling down her cheeks.

Phoebe started to make strangling noises. Her eyes rolled back in her head as Mark finally let go of her. She fell to the floor.

"Now we only have one last witness to kill." Mark said looking at Monica. Monica started to cry harder as he pulled out a knife.

Before he could do anything the door to Central Perk was kicked in and in marched many police officers with guns in each hand.

"Don't move." The officer directed at Mark and Nate.

Mark smiled deviously and nodded slightly at Nate. Nate quickly pulled out a gun and shot at an officer.

The other officers quickly retaliated by shooting Mark and Nate in the legs causing them to fall down to the ground.

Two officers drug Nate and Mark out of the coffee house and into their police cars to drive them to the police station.

A couple of the other officers untied Monica. "Are you okay? Is there any one else in the building?"

"Um, yeah, Rachel and Gale are in the bathroom, and my friends. They killed all of them." Monica said sobbing.

The police officers went to the bathroom while the other ones checked the friends on the ground.

Monica ran over to Chandler. She pulled his head in her lap and stroked his hair.

"Chandler, please be okay. I love you. Please don't die." Monica cried into Chandler's ear.

"I love you, too, Mon" She heard him faintly reply.

"You're alive!" She whispered kissing him gently on the cheek.

The paramedics had arrived and were loading everyone onto stretchers.

"He's alive!" Monica yelled to a paramedic.

The paramedics put him on a stretcher and lowered him into an ambulance, Monica never leaving his side.

* * * *

At the hospital Rachel, Gale, and Monica waited anxiously in the waiting room. The doctors were pretty sure everyone was going to live. The girls just couldn't wait to see everyone.

"I wonder how the police knew we were at Central Perk." Monica thought aloud.

"Rachel called the police on her cell phone." Gale replied.

"How? I thought they tied you up." Monica asked.

"They did, but they didn't gag us. I had my cell in my pocket. I just had to wiggle around a little and it fell out. I kicked it close to wear my hands were tied and dialed."

Monica got up and hugged Rachel. "Thanks, Rach, you saved us all."

One Month Later:

"Guys, it's time for dinner." Monica called out.

The whole gang came trooping into the kitchen.

"Hey, guys, I got a letter from Sidney today." Rachel announced.

Sidney, Gale, and Dewey had moved back to California shortly after the killings. They still kept in touch by writing and calling occasionally.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, she said she heard that Mark and Nate got sentenced to life in jail."

"That's great." Phoebe said. She was so relieved that this was finally over.

After dinner they all sat around the living room. Ross was in the chair with Rachel in his lap, Chandler was sitting on the couch, Monica leaning on him, his arm around her. Joey and Phoebe were sitting in similar positions on the other side of the couch.

Monica wasn't really listening to the conversations going on around her. She was vaguely aware of everyone laughing at something Chandler had said.

She was too busy thinking about how perfect her life was now. They were so lucky, all of them. They were all alive and well, with the people they loved. Mark and Nate were in jail and Dewey, Gale, and Sidney were doing great in California.

Monica's eyes started to get heavy. It was getting late and she was exhausted.

Chandler noticed this and told everyone that they were going to bed. Soon the apartment was empty. Chandler gently lifted Monica into his arms and carried her to their bedroom.

Yes, everything was perfect.
