Chapter 5 The safe house
Do you think that the house will be open said tanner. Yeah I think it should there's a gate near the garage if the door is locked said Luca. Hey Jonathan try and open the door said Bryan. Ok then said Jonathan. Jonathan opened the door and came back and said it's locked. Ok everyone let's go and try the other gate then said Luca. Will it work said David. Who knows said Luca. Everyone followed Luca into the other gate. Woah she has a pool and a jacuzzi said Bryan. Yeah she had this house for a while said Luca. Does she have like any video game consoles or games said tanner. She has the wii but I don't think it will work cause she got it for when it was my birthday said Luca. When was that said David. November 2012 almost like 10 years ago said Luca. Right said tanner. Let's see if it will work when we get in there hopefully no one will call the cops said Luca. Luca tried unlocking the sliding door but it did not work. Just shoot it with the goddamn gun said Jonathan. Luca put on a suppressor on his pistol and shot the glass sliding door. Come on guys said Luca. Wow said everyone. Hey Jonathan ask Luca if he could show us around said Bryan. No you ask him said Jonathan. Hey Luca bro can you show us around your grandmas house I've never really been here said Bryan. Ok the tv and the couches are the living room right behind you guys is the kitchen um David right behind you is the dining room then if you guys would follow me near the garage is the office said Luca. Woah nice computer your grandmother have said Bryan. Yeah thanks ok so then straight up ahead is the washing machine then let's go up these steps and that will bring you to the meet up room said Luca. Question said Jonathan. Yes said Luca. How many beds does your grandmas house have said Jonathan. Well there's my grandmothers bed bunk beds a single bed another single bed and there are some in the playroom said Luca. Ok let's continue upstairs said Luca. Ok on the left this is my grandmothers room and then let's keep on going to the playroom the room on the left is the bunk bed room and then on the right it's the single bed and on the other bed it's the pink room said Luca. Yeah so that's my grandmothers house do you guys have any questions said Luca. No said everyone. Well what should we do now should we return back to saddleback or just stay here said Luca. I don't know probably just hang out here till something happens said Jonathan. Ok just look around watch some tv relax and make your self comfy cause if someone finds my weapons in my dorm then this is our new home said Luca. Could you try and see if it would work said tanner. I'll try but I don't think it will work said Luca. Luca turns on the tv then turns on the wii remote. Well said tanner. It works said Luca. Ok finally does your grandma have any wii games said tanner. Um I think she has new super Mario bros for the wii said Luca. Should we do just one level said tanner. Sure said Luca. Um Luca can I play with you and tanner said David. Sure said Luca. Luca David and tanner played Mario bros for a hour. Later Luca checked out the security cameras on his phone. Ok let's see what's on the security cameras no way that's Alex right there said Luca. Wait Luca I did not knew that you had footage at saddleback said tanner. I need to use the walkie talkie to contact Bryan said Luca. Bryan, I know where Alex Tovar is he's at the library. This is almost over. I'm going to finish it said Luca. Luca, you can't do this alone. I'm coming with you. Come collect me from The front of your grandmothers house said Bryan. Alright, wait there for me said Luca. Hey Luca where are you going said tanner. Remember The kid that punched me four years ago at Marco Forster well he is at saddleback like right now said Luca. Aw snap well good luck said tanner. Luca used his walkie talkie to contact joe z and Kevin. Ok joe z Kevin you guys don't really have to come I'll deal with this said Luca. Luca goes to Bryan and they heard towards Saddleback. Hey bro, there you are said Bryan. The police are bringing him to the library at saddleback. I do not want to be late after I have waited so long said Luca. Well, this is the big moment - what you have been waiting for for so long. I hope you will not be disappointed said Bryan. Disappointment is not a consideration. I have not been the same man since the day that Alex betrayed me said Luca. Since I saw those things. You lost a lot of friends that day, Luca. We both did said Bryan. In some way, our friends from the high school were lucky. I lost myself that day too. Everything that was good and innocent in me died along with them. If I could live those hours again, I think I would have preferred to be buried in the pit along with everyone else. This is all that is left of me. What am I good at, Bryan? What is my trade? I deal in death because that is all that is open to me said Luca. I will tell you what you are good at, Luca. You are a good friend. You still have integrity. No matter what you say there is humanity in you. You still have the power to be good. It's important that you believe that said Bryan. Maybe I will start to believe it when Alex is dead. That might give me some perspective said Luca. This killing must stop sometime, Luca. Once this is done, then you must begin to forgive. Think about your future instead of the horrible things that have happened to you, to us, to all of us, in the past said Bryan. After this is done, then we can talk about forgiveness and redemption. Now is not the time for such conversation said Luca. Luca and Bryan arrive at saddleback. This is it. This is where it all ends said Luca. Alex Tovar is thrown out of a van by The police. The van drives off, and Luca and Bryan approach the bound Alex. You remember me? Said Luca. Leave me alone, I don't know you. I don't know you said Alex. Luca leans down and grabs hold of Alex. Yes you do. I'm the one, who survived said Luca. Luca... hello said Alex. Just tell me why said Luca. Why? Said Alex. We were friends. We were all friends. We all went to middle school together... Daniel yahir, Manuel, Miguel... should I go on and name them all said Luca. We were friends, but I had other friends! Said Alex. Alex rolls away from Luca and struggles to stand with his hands still bound behind his back. Friends that Goran and his guys killed. My fucking neighbours said Alex. Darko approaches Niko and gets in his face. Because of what? Because of shit! Said Alex. Alex turns and walks towards Bryan, getting in his face. Lies. Fucking lies! Said Alex. So that makes it ok. To stab your friends in the back? Said Luca. Alex stumbles back. When everything you believe is shown to be shit, you make strange choices I guess said Alex. Luca grabs Alex and pulls him closer. Fuck you! Strange choices? How much? Said Luca. Alex laughs and stumbles back. A thousand said Alex. Luca lets go and steps back, distraught. You killed my friends for one thousand dollars? Said Luca. How much do you charge to kill someone? Said Alex. You ruined me, you fuck! Said Luca. I needed the money... I had problems said Alex. You're a fucking junkie! Said Luca. Darko falls to his knees. Kill me then! You were always a hypocrite. Trust me, you'll be doing me a favor! Said Alex. Luca - come on bro, let's go. Let him suffer... he knows what he did. He doesn't look like he enjoys life too much said Bryan. Alex continues crying, struggles and stands again. Leave him. He's not worth wasting your energy on said Bryan. Luca shoots Alex four times and he falls to his knees. He then shoots him three more times and he falls on his back. He is then shot five more times, killing him. You piece of shit. That was for everyone. That was for me said Luca. Okay, Luca. It's over. It's all over now. Leave him there. We should go before anyone turns up. Should we go back to the safe house ? Said Bryan. I'm turning this crap off, I can't take listening to those annoying ads and DJs right now said Luca. There you go, you got your revenge. How does it feel? Said Bryan. I don't know how it feels. I'm trying to take it all in said Luca. This is the moment you've been waiting for for so long, Niko. What do you mean you don't know how you feel? Said Bryan. I mean I don't know. I feel empty, okay? I feel empty said Luca. That's something, at least said Bryan. No Bryan, it's nothing. The emptiness is what I was trying to get rid of by finding Alex. I've been empty ever since that day. I thought that revenge, that killing Alex, might fill me up a bit. It might five me some substance said Luca. And it hasn't? Said Bryan. No, it hasn't. Does that make you happy? Said Luca. Of course it doesn't make me happy but maybe this is good for you. Maybe now that you know that revenge is not what you are after you can look for fulfillment in other places. Healthy ones said Bryan. Maybe... maybe. I don't know said Luca.
