A/N: Right, chapter before the end guys! Eek! Um, thank you Dawnie-7, I was looking at reviews from other stories and you've reviewed every one of my Secret Window ones! You are very special. To Ally Eileen for saying my work is 'great.' And Elena for saying 'really interesting.' I know an Elena. I like nice reviews! Soooo, on we go. And just to let you know (again,) this probably won't be the end, because I don't like the way it finishes, but it finishes good for this particular story. So look out for more Mort (!!!) but he'll be a little while I'm afraid, stuck in endless traffic.
Chapter Fourteen: Shooters Ending
As Clementine is deciding how to end the story with Mort, there is a knock on the door. Clementine leaves Mort to continue writing the new ending, and opens the it. There stands Shooter. Clementine looks up at Mort, Mort was Shooter, and Mort was upstairs, Shooter was always another person, then how could Shooter be. . ?
"Where's Mr. Rainey?" he asks, immediately.
"Shit!" comes Mort's voice as he hears Shooter downstairs. "Shooter! This really isn't the time!" Clementine tries to close the door on Shooter but he forces his way in.
"Well I think this is the time, Mr. Rainey. I'd say I'm jus' in time," he says.
"Alright, Shooter, what do you want?"
"It's what I don't want that matters, Mr. Rainey. I don't want you to change the ending."
"What? Then this last girl, Minnesota, is gonna die!" exclaims Mort.
"Exactly, that's the way the story goes. I've been killin' off these kids so you've got a story, and now you're gonna ruin all my hard work," Shooter says, sitting down on the edge of the table, next to Mort and his laptop.
"What?" Clementine exclaims. "You're the Californian Vacation Killer?"
"Uh huh. Mr. Rainey needed a story, so I gave him the story. And now I've done this, for him, I can go, I can go leave you two well alone," explains Shooter.
"You, didn't go before?" asks Mort, a little nervously.
"Nope, I couldn't go then, but now I've done this for you I can, that's why you gotta keep the ending my way!" Shooter suddenly starts shouting.
"Mort, you gotta change the end, Icing's gotta live, we'll just have to put up with Shooter," says Clementine from behind Shooter.
"So it's either this girl's life, or my life rid of you?" Mort asks. Shooter nods. "And if I kill the girl then you'll never come back?" Again, he nods. Mort turns around in the rotating chair, fingers hovering above the keyboard, and begins to finish the ending.
