As of this moment, Lincoln was leading a group with him through the forest...again. He is with Carol, Lori, Dana, Greg and Whitney, and right now, he was talking on the phone with the police, confirming their position for the ambush...
"Yes, it is that warehouse...no, the other one.", Lincoln said. "Yeah, that's the one...okay, we'll be there soon. Thank you, Officer."
"So, how'd it go?", asked Carol.
"They're near Cherry's warehouse already.", Lincoln explained. "We need to hurry. We can't mess this up."
"Finally, we get the chance to take that girl down!", Dana said.
Carol replied, "I know. But I'm having some mixed emotions about it."
"You're not the only one.", said Greg. "But this is what's best for everyone."
"I'm just wondering as to why we needed to bring her.", said Whitney, pointing to Lori.
"Excuse me?", asked Lori.
"I'm just saying." said Whitney. "Just seems kind of pointless of you to come with us to help out."
Then, Lori said to her, "That's funny, because I was thinking the same thing about you, Whitney."
"Were you now?", asked Whitney. "You do realize I'm been helping Lincoln out more than you, right?"
"And you are aware that I'm holding a baseball bat in my hands, right?", said Lori, holding up the bloody baseball bat.
"Would you too relax?", Carol spoke out. "Remember what we're here for. You can kill each other after."
"Fine.", Lori said.
"Whatever.", said Whitney.
"I'd pay a lot of money to see those two go at it.", said Greg, making everyone feel weirded out.
"If you want, you can also kill Greg too.", said Carol.
"Wha-?", said Greg.
Both girls agreed, saying, "Deal!"
"Finally getting the chance to turn someone into a human pretzel.", Lori said.
"Maybe I should've stayed at home.", said Greg.
Meanwhile, somewhere near Cherry's hideout, a squadron of police was there, waiting for their chance to strike. They were lead by the cop Lincoln had a talked to before; his name was Officer Jones...
"Alright, everybody.", said Jones. "Remember to stay cool and don't fire until I tell to."
"Man, this is boring.", said a inpatient cop. "We've been waiting for like an hour now. You sure we can trust this kid?"
"Not sure.", said Jones. "But in case you forgot, we've been looking for this Cherry girl for about a half year now. This could be our chance, now shut up."
The cop replied, "Fine. Just getting bored because we haven't seen anybody come out of that place for a while...except them."
Pointing to the right, the cops see Margaret and Taylor and a small mob of goons with them, all armed, like they're going hunting...
"Think they're acquanted with Willis?", said Jones.
"Only one way to find out.", said the impatient cop, going after them.
Jones yelled out to him, saying, "No, wait! Stand down!"
To where Margaret and Taylor stand, they were busy walking through the woods. Margaret was enjoying the time she has away from Cherry while Taylor was keeping her grip firmly on her weapon, which was a bat with nails in it...
"You know, I really can't thank you enough for doing all this for me.", said Margaret.
"Not a problem at all.", said Taylor. "I get it. It must be tough working for a psycho like Cherry."
"You have no idea", said Margaret. "But you're not too perfectly sane yourself."
"Yeah, but I don't at least obsesses over wanting to find a little boy.", said Taylor.
"You obsessed over Joshua since middle school.", said Margaret.
"Yeah...", said Taylor, a little sad. "I did, didn't I?"
Margaret realized she may have gone to far. She knew that Taylor and Joshua was dating, but they broke it off. Taylor wanted to make things right between him and her, but thanks to the club members, Taylor's never gonna get that chance.
"I struck a nerve, didn't I?", said Margaret sympathetically?. "I'm sorry, Taylor. I-"
"Don't.", said Taylor, gripping her baseball bat. "I'll make things right soon enough."
"Okay then.", said Margaret.
Then Taylor behind her to the goons saying "Right now, I'm just wondering if these nimrods are even smart enough to catch a kid."
"Probably not." said Margaret. "But it's worth a go."
Back to where Lincoln's group was, they were continuing to walk to Cherry's hideout until the sound of gunfire forced them to hide in the bushes...
"What the heck?", said Lori. "Why am I hearing guns?"
"I'm guessing the cops and Cherry's goon may have already found each other.", said Carol.
"I think they're about to find us too!", said Lincoln, pointing. "Look!"
It was then that a mob of goons was being led by Taylor and Frank down the path. And these guys had a catapult with them.
"A catapult?", said Lori. "Why the heck do they have a catapult?!"
"Welcome to crazy town, Lori.", said Carol.
"All that just to try and capture Lincoln?", asked Whitney.
"I'm pretty sure that's not what it's for.", Lincoln said. "I'm guess Cherry may have known we'd get the police involved.
"I'm gonna...make a short phone call.", Dana said, bringing out her phone. "...Ronnie Anne, we have a bit of a problem."
"Hey do you guys hear something?"
Lincoln's group frozen perfectly still as they feared they've blown their cover as one of the goons ends up hearing them.
"What do you mean they have a freaking catapult?", yelled Ronnie Anne through a phone without getting another response. "Hello? Hello? Dang it."
"Did you say catapult?", asked Shannon.
Ronnie Anne replied, "Yep! Apparently, Cherry is crazy enough to try and use one of those!"
"That's going way too far!", said Sam.
"I know!", said Ronnie Anne. "What are gonna do now"
"Not much we really can do.", said Shannon.
"Well, maybe we can call the others.", said G. Jordan. "Tell them to watch out for that thing."
"Maybe, we should've thought this through more.", said Ronnie Anne as Girl Jordan began to dial on her cell phone.
Somewhere in the forest, a third group, consisting of Lyberti, Rex, Parvana, Mazzy, Mollie, Renee, and Kat were busy tailing another mob of goons leading the crazy chick herself, Cherry. They were hiding near some trees as they listened in on some of the goons talking...
"I'm just saying. One little kid is not worth busting my a** over."
"I know, but at least it's easy money. And we also get to keep the gear."
"Where did she even get the cash for this?"
"Don't know. Don't care. I'm so keeping this stuff."
"Wonder what else we can get out of her?"
"Maybe a...decent night off?"'
The thugs laughed at that, but Cherry was ticked...
"YOU DO KNOW I CAN HEAR YOU NUMBSKULLS, RIGHT?!", she screamed at them, making them still and silent. "Just keep up with me and shut up!"
And with that, the goons carried on, while Lyberti's group were cringing behind the trees.
"That. Was. Disgusting.", said Kat.
"Agreed.", said Mollie and Renee.
"Yeah, you kids were not old enough to hear that.", said Mazzy.
"Nevermind that.", said Parvana. "Let's just remember that we are in a world of trouble right now."
"Relax. It's not like they've seen us yet.", said Lyberti. "Besides, we know at this point that things can't get worse."
Just then, Renee got a call from Girl Jordan, who began to explain everything they just heard.
"Jordan says that one of Cherry's mobs has a catapult!", she said, which made everyone feel tense.
"I spoke too soon.", said Lyberti.
"We can worry about that later.", said Parvana. "Right now, we just gotta find a way to take care of that mob."
"How are we gonna do that?", said Mollie.
"I have no idea.", said Parvana.
"Perhaps we should've brought with us.", said Kat.
"We are so not cut out for this.", said Mazzy.
Meanwhile, back to where we had the cops and Taylor's group, they were going at each other, fighting with their barehands and it appeared to be like the cops were getting the upper hand. But somehow, the punks prove them otherwise, not backing and even managing to work a few cops over. Jones was going for Taylor and Margaret, who were busy cutting down a few of his compatriots...
"I wanted to do this the easy way.", said Jones, picking up a bat. "But I guess not."
"Too bad.", said Taylor. "You brought this upon yourselves."
"At least I can no confirm that the kid's info was right.", said Jones. "Now, tell me. Where's Cherry Willis?"
"Give up the kid and maybe we'll spill.", said Margaret.
"Not a chance.", said Jones."
"Then you'll get nothing from us.", said Taylor. "Except maybe a brutal beat down."
And with that, the three of them lunged at each other. But Jones wasn't prepared for how skilled these two were at fighting, barely able to block any of their attacks, and even got a few nails in his back thanks to Taylor. Things were not looking good for him and his squad...
"Fire in the hole!", yelled one of the thugs as a grenade was thrown at the cops. Boom. Cops were blown away and Jones was horrified for having bared witness it. It was not over for him as he saw the two teenage thugs towering over him with weapons in hand...
"Nighty night, jerk.", said Taylor as she hits him with the back end of her bat.
Back to where Lincoln's group, they were still hiding from Frank's group, who were searching around for anybody laying around. For a moment, they seemed to be completed invisible, until...
(Tiny fart)
"Crud." said Lori.
"Sniff, sniff...oh gosh, smelled like something died.", said Kylie.
"Yeah. Came from over there.", Frank said as his crew began to rip apart some bushes. Realizing that they just got made, Lincoln's crew stood and were now meeting the wrong end of a gun. Frank was laughing very hard as he savoring this so-called victory...
"Wow.", said Frank. "One just had to have cracked one off. That's pathetic."
Everyone's head turns to Lori who looks down, turning red.
"But I'm really glad you're hear though. I thought we were gonna have to search this whole forest in search of this kid." He points to Lincoln, who glares at him. "So how about we work out a little deal? Hand him over and you all go Scott free."
Lincoln continues to glare at him.
"If you think we're just gonna hand over my brother like that, then you're demented!", screamed Lori.
"Brother?", said Frank before realizing who Lori was. "Oh...I know you. Maybe you heard of my friend Joshua, who was reduced to a stain on the floor thanks to two blonde girls."
Lori and Carol stare at each other, knowing they're responsible.
"He had it coming.", said Carol.
"And now, so do you.", said Kylie. "My sister was actually Joshua's ex. And she's gonna love when I drag to two back to her by your hairs."
"You'll have to catch us first.", said Lincoln. "Split up!"
And then they all ran in different directions, something that Frank's group wasn't prepared for.
"What the heck are all of you standing around for?!", He said. "After them!"
Goons went chasing after them. Lori and Carol went running across some trees when suddenly, Carol's Hari got caught by a low hanging branch...
"Ah! My hair!", she said as some thugs closed in on her.
"End of the line, sweetie!"
But then, the thugs started to get pelted by rocks, as it was Lori who was throwing them. This served as a distraction and gave Carol the chance to free herself. Unfortunately, a small piece of her hair was ripped off and left stuck on the branch as she caught up with Lori.
"My hair is ruined!", she complained.
"Will you forget about it?!", Lori yelled, taking Lori's hand. "We gotta get moving!"
To where Greg and Dana were at, the dodging a few flying objects coming towards them and reaching a pond. But Greg had then tripped on an overgrown root, allowing the thugs to come get him...
"Game over, pal!", said one of thugs, about to grab Greg until his face was met with a rock. Dana came rushing to help save Greg, grabbing a chain wrapped around the guy and beginning to use it as a makeshift chain...
"Back off!", she said, swinging the chain, hitting a few guys in the head, the feet and trying not to hit herself. But the goons were still closing in on her, so Greg decided to make himself and kick a few guys in the shins, bringing them down as he recovers and steals a crowbar from one of them. As the two of them fought, Dana then encounters a brute, a big thug, who was fat and ugly, not to mention mean as he snatches Dana's chain and throws it away...
"Now, just try to hit me!", said the brute, allowing Dana to sucker punch him in the face. Didn't seem to do anything though as he smirks at her. But then, she sees her chance, as there was a grenade on his belt, which he notices as well. Dana quickly pulls the pin on the grenade and moves away as the brute tries to take it off. But then, Dana notices the pond right behind the big guy, and decides to take a leap of fate. And by the, she charges at the brute, leaping and shoving him with her right arm and pushes him into the pond. She then runs away as soon as there is a huge blast coming from the pond. Looking back, she picks herself up and recovers her chain, just as Greg rejoins her, looking a little messed up, but alive.
"Managed to get those guys to back off.", he said. "What about you?"
"I just had a blast.", said Dana, feeling proud of herself.
And to where Whitney and Lincoln are, they were running through some thorn bushes when Whitney's skirt ends up getting caught in one, leaving her stuck...
"Oh, come on!", she said, beginning to pull away.
"Now's really not the time for this!", Lincoln said as he helps Whitney pull. They manage to get her free, but now her skirt's all ruined and show off some leg.
"Well, there goes my dress.", Whitney said unamused. "And my dignity."
Lincoln then tells her, "We can fix all that later. We gotta get going before-"
"Before I show up?"
Both of them turned around to see Frank standing behind them. Looking smug as he takes out his metal bat.
"I'm kind of getting sick of all of you.", he said. "So why not make this quick."
"I don't think so.", said Whitney, running towards Frank and trying to pry the bat out of his hands. But Frank manages to back her off and starts swinging the bat at her. Lincoln tried to help, attempting to leap onto Frank, only to get knocked away. Whitney then rips a branch from the trunk of a tree and smashes it over Frank's head as he's distracted. And she continues to do it again...again...and again...
Frank falls to one knee, spitting blood as he turns to Whitney, "UGH! YOU LITTLE B-", but then Whitney shuts him up.
"You talk to much.", Whitney said, dropping the tree branch. She then runs to Lincoln, seeing if he's okay...
"Lincoln, are you okay?"
"I'm fine.", he answers. Then he sees what Whitney did to Frank. "So, you worked him over?"
"Yep. He had it coming.", Whitney tells him. "Come on. Let's go."
Back to where Cherry was, she was waiting to hear some feedback from the two other mobs. Heading back to her warehouse, she soon found herself running into Frank's mob, who looked pretty beat. Some more than others...
"What happened to you guys?", she asked them.
"We almost had them.", one of the thugs spoke. "But then, they ended fighting back-"
"Making you guys look like chumps.", she interrupted. "What do I pay you for?"
"You barely pay us.", said another goon.
"Well, that might explain the way you look.", she said, having them burned.
"Hmph. We almost had the kid, in case you wanted to know.", said a goon. "But he just ended up disappearing."
That confused Cherry, but also made her angry as she grabs the goon by the collar, points a blade to his head and says "People. Don't. Just. Disappear!"
"They didn't disappear."
Just then, Kylie shows up, carrying Frank, who's was unconscious, and who's head was a bloody mess, over her shoulder. She throws him down to Cherry's feet, where he moaned in pain...
"They gave us the slip and did a number on him.", she explained. "There more clever than they look."
This was enough to make Cherry so mad, that she screams into the air, making the birds in the forest fly away and causing a tiny earthquake in the Himalayas. All the while this was happening, Lyberti, Rex, Parvana, Mazzy, Mollie, Renee, and Kat were listen on this; they covered their ears when Cherry screamed. They had followed Cherry's mob all the way to her hideout, and now, they pondered on what to do next.
"Okay, so we followed them all the way here.", said Kat. "Now what?
"I'll call Ronnie Anne and ask if she's got eyes on us.", said Mollie.
"I think we can take them.", said Mazzy. "Most of those guys looked pretty banged up."
"Yeah, but what about the rest?", asked Rex. "I think we in over our heads on this one."
"Well, we have to do something.", said Parvana.
"I'm not too sure about that.", said Lyberti. "We're not exactly armed for battle, and those guys seem pretty big to me."
"Well, maybe we can find a few weapons of theirs laying somewhere around here.", said Mollie.
"I don't think we have much time for that.", said Renee.
"Look, if anybody had any real idea on what we're gonna do, now would be the time to speak up!", Kat spoke out, growing impatient.
"Would you keep your voice down?!", said Mollie. "You screaming is not helping!"
"Alright then. Mollie, call some of the others and tell them to come over here.", said Mazzy. "We'll just sit tight and wait up for them."
"Yeah...That's not gonna happen."
Hearing an unfamiliar voice made everyone of them freeze as they slowly turn their head to see a couple of thugs tower over them. With that, the goons start beating them up, as they desperately try to fight back. But, it was all in vain as they were soon dragged and thrown at Cherry's feet as she stood with her hands at her hips...
"Well, how about that.", Cherry said. "Uninvited guest."
Back to where Lori and Carol were running to, they were beginning to witness some of the trees and bushes looked like they've been scorched. As they continued to walk, they were shocked to see what remained of a bunch of police and thugs who looked to have been blown up. One officer who was at their feet and seemed to have been still completely intact was Jones, who was beginning to regain consciousness, seeing the silhouettes of Lori and Carol above him...
"Oh my gosh.", said Carol.
"So much for the police.", said Lori, taking out her phone.
"What are you doing?", Carol asked.
"I'm calling Lincoln.", said Lori. "I'm gonna tell him that the plan was a bust."
"Yeah, I might as well do the same.", said Carol, as she takes out her own phone. "I'll call the others back at the club."
"Wait."
They looked down to see that Jones had regained consciousness, holding up he hand...
"Let me see your phone.", he says to Lori, who respectfully agrees to give it to him. He begins to dial a number and waits while the phone rings...
"What are you doing?", Lori asked.
"Calling for backup.", Jones answered. "My radio broke...Ah, but the service here sucks. This might take a while."
"Yeah, I'm getting the same thing here.", said Carol.
Then Lori spoke out, saying, "Ugh. Why are we even bothering?"
"What do you mean?", asked Carol.
"Our plan literally went up in smoke!", said Lori. "Cherry's goons busted through the cops!"
"Hey!", said Jones.
"We were forced to separate, and now look where that got us! Why do we keep trying to fight?"
"Look around, Lori!", screamed Carol, spreading her arms. "This! This is why we're still fighting! As far as I know, Carry is gonna keep hunting us down until the last man, and until she gets your brother! Why she still wants him is anyone's guess, but it all comes down to her being insane! But we can still beat her!"
"I'm on her side, little lady.", said Jones. "Willis is just to dangerous to leave running around."
"Yeah, but it's literally not gonna end the way you think!", said Lori, pointing at all the wreckage around. "This! Is literally how it'll end!"
"Well, if you got any better ideas, we're all ears at the moment.", said Carol.
Lori was about to saying something else, but then thought it over. Carol and Jones did have a point, and they were practically on the point of no return. This all had to end one way or another...
"Ah, screw it.", said Lori. "Let's go stop that psycho."
"Guys, I got some bad news.", said Ronnie Anne, back at the club. "Carol has told me that the police were wiped out.
"How the heck could that even happen?", said Sam.
"Beats me, but we're running low on options here.", Ronnie Anne.
"...Would giving up be considered and option?", said Shannon, having everyone glare at her. "I'm just saying."
G. Jordan then tells her, "Look, if you wanna give up and go home now, that's fine, go for it. But I'm not giving up!"
"Neither am I!", said Ronnie Anne. "That psycho's got to pay for messing with my friends!"
"I'm staying as well.", said Sam.
"Hey!"
Coming out of the back room was Fiona and Carlota, who looked pretty revitalized now.
"Count us in too!", Fiona said.
"We're not going anywhere.", said Carlota.
"Okay, okay.", Shannon said. "I'm not going anywhere either. Sorry."
"It's okay.", said Ronnie Anne. "We get it. We just need to find some way to help."
Just then, the door of the club open and two familiar silhouettes are seen...
"So...where's our little bro?"
Ronnie Anne and the others were shocked to see that it was Lincoln's sisters, Luna and Leni were at the door. And they were not exactly looking happy to see them...
"Well?", said Luna. "Spill it. Where is Lincoln?"
"He's...not here right now.", said Ronnie Anne. "...How'd you guy's find this place?"
"We found it a while ago while looking for Lincoln.", said Leni.
Then Luna goes, "First time, it was locked. Second time, you guys claimed that Lincoln wasn't here. Third time, we know that isn't true. Now, where is he?"
"He really isn't here right now.", said Shannon.
"Then tell me where he is!", said Luna, sounding a little ticked.
"He...", Carlota began, before being stopped by Fiona.
"We can't tell them!", she said.
Carlota replied, "Well, we gotta tell them something!"
"Just spill it already!", said Luna.
"Sorry Luna.", said Sam. "We just can't. It's for your own good and for Lincoln's."
"I can't believe you were in on this too, Sam.", Luna said, upset. "I would feel betrayed if I wasn't making myself clear! Where. Is. Lincoln?!"
"Alright!", said Carlota. The others attempted to stop her, but she made it clear that the charred had to end. "Lincoln and a few others went off into the woods to deal with the Psycho Girl that's been terrorizing us and wants your brother for himself."
Luna and Leni fell silent after hearing that, going wide-eyed and letting what Carlota sink in for a second.
"Leni...", Luna spoke. "Stay here with everyone. I'm going after them."
Leni, tried to say something, "But, Luna-"
"Just stay! I can handle this!", yelled Luna before she points over to the others. "You better pray that nothing's happened to my littler brother!"
Then she runs off and leaves Leni behind in the club. And as she did, Fiona and Ronnie Anne took the opportunity to turn their attention towards Carlota, who they now weren't happy with at the moment...
"Why did you have to tell her that?!", asked Fiona.
"I couldn't keep it a secret anymore!", said Carlota. "She deserves to know the truth about Lincoln and to be there for him."
"Oh? And what's to stop her from getting hurt while she's out there?", said Ronnie Anne. "It's like war zone!"
Carlota replied, "And what's to stop Lincoln from getting hurt? He's still out there right now!"
"That's not the point!", said Fiona.
"And how exactly am I the bad guy here?", asked Carlota. "I thought what I did was right!"
"Guys, give her a break.", said Sam. "At this point, there was no reason to keep it a secret anymore."
"We kept it a secret so that we can protect Lincoln and his family!", argued Fiona.
"Has it even worked though?", Sam asked. "Lincoln ends up getting kidnapped and getting himself into a mess that is not too far from this place!"
"But we didn't need to get his family involved!", said Ronnie Anne.
"They got themselves involved.", said Carlota. "And you even helped!"
Ronnie Anne went, "What?! How would have I even-?"
"Who told them about this place?", asked Carlota, leaving Ronnie Anne speechless.
"Oh, that doesn't matter!", Fiona said. "She wasn't perfectly clear! Unlike you, blabber mouth!"
"You wanna go right now?!", asked Carlota. "Keep talking and the last thing you'll see is my rear end coming at you!"
That made everyone except Fiona feel disgusted. Fiona was still just pissed...
"Like I'm suppose to be afraid of your big ass?!", Fiona yelled at Carlota. "I oughta punch your teeth out!"
"Go for it then!", Carlota said as the two girls got into each other faces. But Leni, who was watching the whole thing, had just about enough of this and decides to break it up.
"Both of you better stop it before I smack some sense into both of you!", she yells out, raising her hand, indicating that she really would smack them.
"None of this fighting is getting us anywhere.", said Shannon. "Please...just stop."
Then both girls went...
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Fine!", they both said in sync as they walked away from each other. Then Sam comes over to Leni.
"That was pretty bold, Leni.", she tells her. "Didn't think you had it in you."
"Yeah. Sometimes I even surprise myself.", said Leni.
"So, you think Luna will be safe out there?", Sam asks Leni.
"I'm hoping so.", said Leni. "She'd do anything for Lincoln."
