There is a heavy silence in the room.
A growing discomfort mixed with feelings grows.
The moment that seemed to have stopped moves forward again as she hears the insistent notifications of a cell phone.
It was so abrupt that, like moths in the light, her eyes went straight to the sofa where the noise that would not stop came from.
The vibration of the cell phone causes it to fall off the furniture and hit the floor cracking the screen.
Diane runs to pick it up when she sees it was hers.
She watches.
Her face slowly transforms into a grimace of horror.
- Diane. -The wolf calls worriedly.
The always calm and confident vulpine gives a piercing scream.
- What's the matter? -she exclaims.
- Guys! -Tarantula shouts, showing her cell phone.
Pictures of the Governor and the Leader of the Good Guys having sex are all over social media.

- Here with you Tiffany Fluffit of Channel 6. -
They watch the news from Shark's cell phone as Wolf drives like crazy all over town.
- Shocking event that happened the night before. -
Wolf angrily waits for a call back.
- On the Governor's official account photos and videos were uploaded of Mr. Wolf leader and founder of the now not so beloved Good Guys with Diane Foxington, having a passionate night. -Laughter.
- Piranha call him and see if he answers you. -Wolf exclaims, tossing down his cell phone.
- As if it wasn't shocking enough, we know that Mr. Wolf has or had an intimate relationship with his teammate; Mr. Snake. -And that Diane was one of his friends. -
Nets sweats by typing non-stop to delete all the videos and photos from the internet. Even on XXX sites!
- We also have sightings of Mr. Snake pasting the photos and giving away USBs that we suspect have the same content on the streets. -
The spider freezes, that can't be eliminated.
- Where did I get the money?! -The jet-haired man exclaims in panic.
- Check your wallet. -Suggests Shark, turning off his cell phone.
- Damn you! -He's got it empty.
He probably stole from Diane too.
- What the hell were you two thinking?! -Piranha exclaims, snatching the photos from the passers-by while the car is still moving.
The vulpine didn't have time to explain herself before the multiple calls from her work demanded a meeting.
- It was an accident! -
- I'd like to hear how that was an accident. -Said the tarantula with obvious anger. "You fell, and neither of you were wearing pants? -
- I made a mistake. Okay! -
- No! -The three of them shout at him in disagreement.
The car moves all over town ripping off the pictures.
- Just pass! -He's frustrated. And I was going to tell Snake! -
- You had sex in the bed you shared with Snake while he was in the same house. -The shark stresses incredulously.
- It wasn't something we planned. -He drives like crazy.
They hear a call.
- Snake. -Piranha answers. Where are you? -

The four enter the cafeteria at full speed.
The snake is quietly at his table drinking bitter coffee.
- What the hell is wrong with you! -Wolf shouts, banging on the table and spilling some of the coffee.
- Wolf! -shouts the spider at him.
- Yes! Sorry! -He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath to calm himself down. -
He puts his hands to his head.
- Bad! Terrible! Terrible! Horrible! Bad! -
He exclaims almost tearing his hair out.
- Photographs and videos!? Diane could sue you! You'd go to jail! -
- I know. -He answers without showing fear. That's why I went to the police first. -
His friends open their eyes with a bad feeling.
- Why? -The first to break the silence is the wolf.
The variety show on the TV on the wall is replaced by the news.
- This is Tiffany Fluffit for Channel 6. -
The reporter looks shocked.
- Breaking news, the Scarlet Claw's lair has been discovered. -
The four gasp in shock.
- In a quiet family neighborhood in the suburbs. -
The image shows the police officers removing the stolen weapons and items from the house.
- The malevolent criminal mind was hiding under the name of our once beloved Governor Diane Foxington. -
Switch back to Tiffany's image.
- I'm here waiting for you... Look! -
Point to Diane being escorted by the Chief of Police.
- This way Ex-Governor! -He stops her and points his microphone at her. Something to say to everyone you cheated and backstabbed? -
- . . . -She looks with deep sadness into the camera. -
She is dragged to the patrol car.
- Once again, life teaches us that stereotypes are true. -
Mr. Wolf has erratic breathing.
- Wolf. -The shark speaks softly. -
That was like pouring gasoline on fire.
- YOU LEGLESS LIZARD! -
He lunges in tooth and claw.

People run away in fright.
His friends yell at him to stop and try to break it up.
- ENOUGH! -Shark shouts, "YOU ARE NOT DEFENDING YOURSELF! -
He uses all his strength to throw the wolf across the room.
The stabbing pain in his back brings him back to reality.
- Oh my God! -Listen to Ms.-Don't move. -
The thin, battered figure stands up without listening to her.
Wolf's eyes widen in horror at what she did to him.
- I'll call the ambulance. -The piranha pulls out his cell phone.
- No. The snake stops him.
- What do you mean, no? -He looks at it incredulously.
- Because. . . . -He feels the guilt crushing him. Why didn't you defend yourself? -
Snake is a hundred times stronger than him, one squeeze and I'd break his ribs.
- So I could report you to the police. -He answers, leaving them all dumbfounded.
- Do you hate us that much? -asks the wolf on the floor in despair.
- I hate you with all my heart. -He turns his back to leave.
- SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! -He screams at the top of his lungs. -
Snake looks at him like he's looking at a fool.
- Do you really want to burn down the bridge?! -
- Are you demanding that I forgive them? -
- No!
- Then what? -He looks at him angrily.
- Be angry but this goes beyond what we did to you. -
- Really? He points to his wounded body. -He points to his wounded body. You're saying this doesn't merit calling the police? -
Wolf is silent, clenching and unclenching his fists.
- Diane. . . . -
- Diane knew what she was doing. -
- But getting her arrested goes further than that! -
- The reason I kept her secret was because she was my friend and I loved her. -
She answers with contempt.
- And she threw it away, now we're nothing. Why then should I keep the secret of a wanted criminal? -
The words get stuck in his throat, causing him great discomfort.
- And I have no remorse because you did the same. -
- You had it planned. -He sentences with venom for falling into the trap.
- I don't know what you're talking about. -Phony ignorance. But it's about time the world knew the real Mr. Wolf and Diane Foxington. -
Look him in the eye.
- A pair of egotists who cover their backs in false self-improvement to get what they want. -
With that said he leaves without looking back.
A pressure in everyone's hearts suffocates them all.
Mr. Wolf with difficulty gets up from the floor.
- We have to help Diane. -
- What? His friends look at him in disbelief.
- Let go of me. -He breathes heavily. Five minutes to come up with a plan to. . . . -
- Stop it. -Tarantula stops. I'm out. -Walk to the exit.
- Diane needs us! -exclaims the wolf in surprise.
- Diane did commit those robberies. -He answers, stopping at the door. I'm sorry it happened this way, but now he has to take responsibility. -
- Are you on Snake's side? -He looks at her hurt.
- . . . You know why this happened; it's because you, Diane and Snake are bastards. -
The wolf ducks his ears.
- Like the fucker you are, you can only be with people just as miserable as you. -
He explains.
- It was obvious this would blow up in your face. Snake is an Ex-Bad Guy! He ruined lives of people he didn't even know. -
Claims.
- And you and Diane go and make me hate you, that's called stupidity. -
She pinches the bridge of her nose.
- And since I'm your friend, it means I'm a bitch too. -
She averts her eyes in disappointment.
- I help you with the photos and videos, but I'm not a crime because of your hero complex. -
Footsteps stop next to him.
- Shark. -Wolf calls when he sees him next to the exit.
- Networks is right, I'm a fucking hypocrite too. -
He admits in shame.
- The only reason I help them is because they are my friends, if they were other people . . . I'd be with Snake applauding him. -
He looks at him sadly.
- I'm sorry Wolf, but this is my limit. -
Wolf looks forlornly at the last one left.
Piranha shifts uncomfortably under his heavy gaze.
- What would have been a reasonable reaction for you when Snake discovered them? -He decides to ask.
- No. . . . I'm not sure. -He scratches his head, "Punching, crying, screaming . . . -
- . . . At that moment, where we didn't know where Snake was, I felt like that time with Marmalade. -
He puts his hand to his heart.
- That fear and despair of believing that Snake was gone and we couldn't get him back. -
Shark and Redes close their eyes, they felt the same.
- And all because you two couldn't contain what was inside your pants. -
He looks at him angrily.
- You said we should take responsibility for the bad things we do. -
Start walking away.
- Keep your word. -
Wolf is left alone in the deep silence.
With a heavy step.
Slowly he sits down at the table where they always came for coffee.
His mind seemed to be on pause.
He doesn't know how much time passed when he hears the police sirens.

Diane has her face hidden in her hands.
- Hello. -Listen.
Wolf greets her in the cell opposite.
- Wolf! -She jumps up. -What are you doing here?! -
- Aggression and public disturbance. -I'll be here for a while while they get the money to post bail. -
- How did it happen? -
He looks at her silently.
- Oh. -He lowers his eyes. -You know; if I had known how scary Snake is, I would have thought twice before doing it. -
- It was an accident. -
- No. -He gets angry. - Enough that it was an accident or a mistake, we're adults, we did it because we wanted to. -
Silence.
Her lips start to tremble.
- Diane! -
The redhead covers her face and turns her back.
- Don't worry! - He tries to comfort her - You'll recover! This is just a bad moment. -
- I know! -She exclaims frustrated. I'm not crying because I'm in jail and I lost my job, I'm crying because I'm disappointed in myself. -
She wipes her tears.
- I look in the mirror; I only see the cheating bitch I was always told I was. -
Wolf looks at her helplessly.
- Remember when I told you I didn't change and just went to the right side. -
- I can never forget that. -
- Then forget it. -She wipes her tears. Because I was wrong. -
She looks him straight in the eye.
- It's no use doing the right thing if you don't have a real change inside you. -
- I know. -He bows his head.
He squeezes his eyes tightly shut.
Silent tears escape him.

Snake throws away his already completed list.
- Do you feel happy now? -✓ The spider asks him.
- No, but it comforts me to know that they are suffering. -
- You destroyed them. -Claims the shark.
- I didn't destroy them, they did it, I simply removed the blindfold. -
He slides down to pick up the brush.
- Now leave me alone. -
The three friends look at him worriedly before leaving.
It is better to go look for part-time jobs to get their leader out as quickly as possible.
When he hears the door closed, the brush touches the canvas.
It is said that to be a good artist you must be in deep pain.
Tears begin to escape.
Find yourself and leave your pain on the canvas.
He lets them spill like waterfalls on his painting.
So that he ends up stronger.

2/07/2022 Snake's birthday!
Informative Fact:
I don't like to do infidelity stories.
But I was reading UnaPinkyFan_AzBv's stories.
And it inspired me to write.
Fun Fact:
I usually like to write as true to the personalities of the source material as possible, so it was hard for me to think of a valid reason for Diane to do something like this.
You can tell she's a level-headed girl with a firm attitude.
But I remembered that part about her not changing. and she's right! I can't help it, it makes me giggle to think of a thief in politics.
Basically stick with the same job XD
I also worried if Snake's ruthless attitude was reasonable.
But I remembered that infidelity causes feelings like; Heartbreak, betrayal, confusion, jealousy torment, insecurity and low self-esteem.
I honestly don't see why Snake should still have appreciation for those two after that.
He's capable of leaving a bomb in the house of someone he hates (Marmalade.) So this was very benevolent.
And technically he could be considered a murderer; He wanted to eat Marmalade from the start, a thinking being who was treated the same as a human.
Yep. . . . Best not to mess with Snake.
