Alright kids, here I am again, updating my chapter like, three years later. I'm sorry I'm so bad at this, but I have no creativity.
Most people use the excuse 'they're busy' when they don't update for long periods of time, but you see, I have no life, no I'm never busy. So I really have no excuse not to update, except being a lazy fathead. Anyway…….

After dropping Michelle off at the party, Hana returned to the video store to accompany Devon in keeping watch for death. ((A/N: that doesn't sound lame at all)) They spent the whole afternoon walking around the video store, half discussing random movies they picked off the shelves, and half watching James.
"Are you kidding me!" Devon exclaimed as they entered the 'Children's Section' "The original Lion King is way better than the sequel."
"Whatever" Hana retorted rolling her eyes "But I still think the Kiara / Kovu pair beats the hell out of Simba and Nala. I mean, come one!"
"You're on crack" Devon told her smiling, and she replied by playfully punching his arm.
On the other side of the store, an electrical guy was standing on a wobbly stepladder, fiddling with the wiring on one of the long light panels. James stood behind the counter, looking cautiously up at the lights. The electrical guy must have cut the wrong wire or something, because suddenly there was a huge spark from the light causing everyone in the store to look over. Hana and Devon immediately rushed over.
"I'm fine, nothing happened" James assured them
"You know what" Devon started loudly "I don't think you should be playing around with the electrical…..stuff right now"
"Yeah" Hana agreed "Lets just leave all that crap for later" The electrical guy looked down at them, and shrugged, and slowly began down the ladder.
"Ummm, my boss says we need the lighting fixed" James told them
"Well, why don't you get it fixed on a day where you're not next in death's chopping block" Devon said patting him on the back as the electrical guy started packing his tools away.
They watched as he then picked up his ladder and left the store, greeted by the usual ringing of the bell. What the group didn't notice is how the little bell then got stuck, between the door and its frame, causing the door to stay open a crack. A cold wind rushed in through the crack, hitting another employee of the Video Plex, who was currently stocking one of the shelves. She quickly turned around.
"James" She called in a sweet voice, looking towards the counter. "Can you go close the door?"
"Sure" James replied, and walked over, not noticing the electrician standing directly outside, holding the ladder under his arm.
James pushed on the door, but it didn't close. Obviously the thought of that little bell causing the problem didn't occur to him, because he continued pushing. Finally after a couple seconds, convinced the hinges were just messed up or something, James took a couple steps back and threw all his weight onto the door.
Instead of slamming the door shut, James flew through the pane of glass in the middle of the door, and directly onto the electrician's stepladder. The alarm sounded as the glass shattered, and everyone turned to see James, with half a ladder sticking out of his chest, collapse on the ground.
((okay, before you continue reading. Shutup. I know that death is extremely unrealistic, and it could never happen in real life, but I truly have no creativity. This is the only thing I could thing of right now on my limited imagination, so don't make fun of me))
"FUCK!" Devon exclaimed loudly as him and Hana turned to look at what had set off the alarm. They both ran over to James to find him still breathing, but rapidly loosing blood.
"Shit, Devon, we gotta go" Hana breathed
"Ummm, no. We gotta help James" Devon replied, as him and the electrician tried to stop the blood flow from James's stomach.
"Someone is calling an ambulance right now. They'll be here soon to help James. We have to go warn the others." Hana told him. He frantically looked from James to Hana, and back to James before standing up quickly.
"Don't worry James, you'll be okay" Devon told him quickly before standing up and following Hana to her car. The both quickly jumped in as Hana jammed the keys in the ignition, and they sped out of the parking lot.
The drove in silence, speeding once again towards the place where Michelle's friend's party was being held. Once they got to Brianna's house, Hana jumped out of the car and quickly ran to the door. She began pounding on it until a woman answered, and after about a minute, she was dragging Michelle to the car.
"Hana! I was in the middle of a party! Hana, not fair! Let me go!" Michelle whined, as Hana opened the door to the back seat of the car.
"Michelle" Hana said slowly "Get in. I can't explain, but we're in a hurry"
"What happened!" Michelle asked buckling her seatbelt as Hana got into the front seat and started the car again. "Did James die!" Neither of the people in the front answered.
"So….who's next?" Devon finally asked. Hana didn't answer for a couple seconds, but then quietly replied:
"One of the robbers, then Nik."
"Well, we definitely can't make contact with the robber, which leaves us with Nik, who's wife just died, so I doubt he'll talk to us.
"He has to" Hana told him "Or He'll die"
"But we don't even know how to contact him" Devon reminded her.
"Clint will know" Hana said confidently "He's smart" So the continued in silence all the way to Barbra's house. When they got to her apartment, everyone was already there.
"Where's James?" Clint asked when they entered the apartment, but it he already knew by the expressions on their faces.
"So, what's the plan?" Barbra asked, as she sat them all down in the living room.
"Ewwww what that hell is this!" Kali screamed, jumping up from the couch she was on. Sitting on the table beside the couch was a terrarium, with a large spider inside.
"That's my son's tarantula Freddy." Barbra told her. "Don't worry, he's harmless."
"That's gross" Kali confirmed, and took another seat, beside Clint.
"Anyway…..someone should go find Nik." Devon suggested "We need to get to him quick, because we'll have no way of knowing if and when the robber dies."
"We can probably get his address out of the phone book" Clint said "But getting him to come with us is a different story. I mean, his wife just died."
"But if it will save his life….." Barbra started
"He probably won't care" Clint sighed "But we can always try. So, who wants to go find Nik, and who wants to stay here?"
"Can't we all go?" Kali asked
"I don't think that's a good idea," Clint told them "I'll go find Nik. One or two people can come with me, but the rest should stay"
"I'll come" Hana volunteered "and so will Michelle."
"But I want to-" Michelle started, but was interrupted by a look from Hana "Okay, I'll go"
"Alright" Clint said standing up " Remember guys, be careful. Even if it's not your turn, you should still be on the lookout, always. Good Luck"
